Community Coffee Chicory Medium Dark Compatible Reviews Summary

Taste

Pros:

• "I have to say, this is the best coffee around, especially for work."
• "It's fresh, and has that memorable dark roast taste, but it's not over-roasted."
• "The taste is smooth and rich with hits of sweetness from the pecan praline flavor."
• "Community cups taste like real coffee of good quality, with no odd fillers or stale oxidation."
• "The darkest roast is nice, with the expected bitter flavors and richness."
• "This is a fantastic coffee blend, smooth, dark, rich, no bite, no nasty aftertaste."
• "The coffee has a smooth flavor without a bitter after taste."

Cons:

• "The taste is pretty smooth and bold."
• "Even at 6 oz this coffee was bland with no discernible chicory flavor."
• "It tasted water down."
• "This order has no taste of coffee. It has no aroma. Everyone who has tried it agrees. It’s like drinking hot water."
• "The coffee tastes terrible."
• "The flavor was that of coffee that had been brewed 2 or 3 times, very weak and bitter tasting."
• "This coffee is undrinkable - weak with a bad after taste - coffee seems stale and not fresh i do not recommend."

Price

Pros:

• "Rich taste-great price and value--everyone should have this coffee in their pantry..."
• "But these are every bit as good as the French Market or Cafe de Monde coffee and chicory kcups, and the price is much better."
• "Great price at Amazon too."
• "The price is affordable and I'm pleased with this new brand!"
• "It's actually cheaper to order it on Amazon than it is from the CC website."
• "I got my box of 18 for $7.49."
• "At the current price, that's about 63¢ per cup and a pretty darn good value."

Cons:

• "The price doubled after my last purchase."
• "I love Community Coffee so five stars for that but minus 2 stars for such a huge price change in just one month."
• "This box of coffee has doubled in price within a month's time. Sorry Community - you lost a repeat customer."
• "This coffee is pretty good. But tell me why it went for $25.74 in December 2023 and now for same kind and same amount of pods has gone up to $71.00. That’s ridiculous!"
• "I ordered the American Blend (24ct x4) pack in July for $35 and one month later it's $75!!!"
• "The price went from about $10 for 18 pods, to $15 right after I bought two."
• "As of this review the 54 pod box is $34.99 or $0.65/cup. This seems a little on the expensive side."
