Community Coffee Pecan Praline Flavored Medium Roast Premium Ground 12 Oz Bag, Medium Full Body Sweet Hints of Pecan, 100% Select Arabica Coffee Beans

This community brand coffee is my new favorite coffee! I am very picky about coffee and this coffee delivers. This Southern Pecan Praline flavor is absolutely delicious. It tastes as good as it smells. I have ordered it several times and find the quality to be consistent. The caramel and pecan flavor are perfect and not overpowering at all. I enjoy light to medium roast coffee and this fits the bill. It is not acidic and not overly sweet. I only use half and half in my coffee so I appreciate smooth taste of this coffee. It always arrives fresh, nicely ground, and at a great price. Definitely give this one a try!

Great

Smooth flavor, excellent taste, nicely ground. My kitchen smells yummy after I brew it too! Great value for the price. I purchased Southern Pecan Praline.

Good coffee! Good deal!

I have always rather liked community coffee, but have spent the past 30 years insisting on espresso and cappuccino and using my delightful Italian machines and fine Italian Lavazza beans, roasting mine own... etc.. I give this blend and flavor one less star because it is not my favorite blend.. not because the coffee is substandard in any way.. It is not... just not my favorite. I recently went back to a percolator (partially out of nostalgia) and have been parusing the older brands because of this. (Fine quality, high end coffee doesn't really do well in a percolator. You need coffee that grew up around them, or you will end up with tea instead of Proper Kaffee). Soooooo once again.. back to the old tried and true brands. I am a bit of a purist when it comes to coffee. The only flavors I ever really enjoyed were Swiss Chocolate Almond (Must have real almonds and not just flavoring, and be properly rolled in Callebaut Cocoa) and Hazelnut, but I thought about giving this a try. Do keep in mind that I am very.. Very.. well acquainted with coffee after workiing at Gloria Jean's Coffee Bean with over 50 different kinds of coffee at my disposal and being ToTaLLy spoiled working on that wonderful old Gaggia with the three brass domes and the eagle on top. Very... spoiled.. almost coffee snob spoiled... I can make virtually any kind of coffee anyone wants kind of spoiled. It is very much, a passion of mine. Community is a good old tried and true standard brand from Louisana that was founded near the turn of last century in 1919 by a certain Norman "Cap" Saurage, in downtown Baton Rouge -so it is now 106 years old.. I like the Cafe special the best, and the dark roast second -at this time.. The Southern Pecan is almost like putting incense or aromatherapy into the air -the smell is so strong.. In this way it reminds me of Jamacia Blue Mountain and how it is mostly smell and very little taste. The Southern Pecan is also a very mild, more of a "City Roast" coffee. The first pot in the old perk (that i nicknamed ""The Kerpolator 9000"" heh) turned out more like tea, and the smell was overpowering for my "Super Smeller" nose. The fragrance was so strong that it triggered my synesthesia, and generated strong caramel and pecan colors and thoughts of pralines --like it is supposed to. I tasted it and it's not bad, but again is about 65% smell. The coffee itself is mild enough that you could drink it black - no sugar, so that means the remarks I have read are true; that it is also easy on the stomach. Too much sugar would ruin this already naturally sweet coffee. The ground variety of this coffee is fine enough to be sort of between auto drip and espresso, so it will work in just about anything without regrinding (Espresso does need a bit of a finer grind). I decided that this would go best today with some Safr Cheese and deluxe crackers, instead of somethig like a nice toasted croissant, and I am pleased to say I was correct. I might also serve this with chocolate biscotti for those wioth a sweet tooth, but never with other types of cookies. "Flavorists" might rate this coffee around an 8.5 out of 10.. Purists like me are more incliend to say 7 out of 10.. I so love coffee... and know A LOT about it.. Both coffee, and chocolate, and tea are three of the finest things on earth.. to be sure, as certain as possible, and true. This blend overall is not bad.. but I will have to use it more sparingly as an accent coffee. My personal preference is the Cafe Special in the community line.. Namaste and enjoy
