[spoiler title=’Click to read the transcript’ style=’default’ collapse_link=’true’] hey welcome to coffee coffee coffee your place for average Joe coffee reviews today’s coffee is hoot hoot today we are reviewing wide-awake coffee company house blend it’s got a cat on the bag it does have a cat on the bag and a frog and an owl yeah and cute packaging yeah what I realized today I thought the the bag was just the bag for the House Blend but then when I was on the website I noticed that there were different animals on the front here like this is a cat some of the other ones have owls and frogs and whatever but then I got to looking and it’s a label so the whole bag doesn’t have any information about this particular coffee just the label is different and so then I went to the website to find out more didn’t really find out anything else there either you can’t click into each individual coffee to find out what they think about it or anything and it also says on the bag it may contain artificial flavorings and stuff but really that’s just a blanket statement this is just pure you know Arabica yeah because they do have several different coffees that they offer but you know we were trying to find out more about it went to the Facebook page the last post there was from 2014 and then we saw that Topco is their distributor and Topco apparently does distribution of food stuffs for all sorts of company across or around the United States and we’re in Idaho right now right and we’ve never seen this coffee before ever right so I guess it’s more of a Pacific Northwest we’re almost in the Pacific Northwest I think I don’t know what this place is called but I did notice American Falls Idaho yes but at the grocery store there was a sign the one that said this peanut butter makes all the others jelly yeah and that was pretty good but Topco is also the company that distributes that store brands and that’s where we found this coffee so that all makes sense but still we don’t know anything about the company or what the company says this house blend coffee should taste like right now let’s talk about the price it was $5.99 right per bag which is like along the lines of Gevalia or something like that so I’m kind of you know comparing it to that as far as quality goes but how does it taste exactly and you can get it on Amazon for even more money why would you do that well maybe if you really really want to try this coffee which one day I was drinking this and I thought I’d tasted like winter mint winter spearmint Winter Garden what is it called winter yeah and I was like what’s going on with this and then he poisoned my brain cause then I started thinking that I did not think that at all but he’s like do you taste that mint that mint flavor do you ever get that now I kind of do yeah but today I don’t it’s not there yeah it’s just all in my head but today I thought I did taste orange juice so I don’t know if I don’t know I taste burnt almonds or something what what’s going on no I do like especially in the beginning of the cup to me it tastes burnt it kind of tastes burnt and bland otherwise I just meant was I having a stroke yeah but I don’t know like especially in the beginning I’m like I don’t really there’s nothing there’s no kind of like chocolatey or nutty or just kind of roastiness that I really like at first down further in the mug I start to enjoy it more like it’s like I don’t know maybe it’s really subtle and it takes my palate awhile I don’t know but I’m enjoying it as I get further down but overall it’s not my favorite yeah especially for the price it you know it’s not expensive but it’s more than even the great value coffee’s which again are readily available If you could find a Walmart you’re gonna find some great value coffee right these types of coffees are only available at those local stores that have them or online and I think that’s the thing about house blends a lot of times the house blend leaves me wanting more like I that I think it’s the thing where they’re trying to appeal to everyone and by trying to appeal to everybody I so I’m not appealed to yeah I like it like I like more definite flavors even even if it’s not the stuff that I particularly like I would rather have that and knew what I’m tasting so yeah what’s that saying if you try to appeal to everyone you’ll appeal to no one there’s something like you can fool all the people some of the time but not all the people some of it all the time something like that I don’t know yeah fool me once shame on you fool me twice can’t get fooled again that’s not necessarily true either because companies like Maxwell House they try to appeal to a bunch of people and it works and it works yeah so I think yeah just just for my own personal taste I I think I am still curious about the other coffees that they have and will probably go buy more at the store and kind of see because for the price it’s not like super disappointing I don’t say like I’d be a three yeah I think maybe three because I can drink it it’s just like I’m not I’m not like I’m not jazzed about buying more of it I did notice at the store they had a darker roast for sure and I think a lighter roast which we’ll probably steer clear of but the darker one I think we’ll get because we’re gonna be in this place for another week and at that grocery store there’s really not much coffee to choose from it’s Folgers and I don’t even think Maxwell House is there Dunkin Donuts original and this wide awake company yeah so we’ll see what we do do you live in this area or have you had any of the wide awake coffee company coffees coffee I guess that’s what I was trying to say yeah let us know in the comments below which one you tried cuz on their website there’s like 20 different ones and some of them look like they were pretty interesting yeah so let us know what you thought about them and if you’ve liked this video be sure to like it comment down
