Coffee Beanery S’mores Flavored Coffee

The experience

Close your eyes. Imagine that first sip of coffee early in the morning. Now add a smooth graham, chocolatey flavor to that. That’s Coffee Beanery’s s’mores flavored coffee.

For this review, I brewed this coffee pour-over style in a Hario ceramic coffee dripper with paper filters. I bought it whole bean and ground it somewhere between fine and medium coarseness.

I prefer my everyday coffee black, so I was able to try this coffee in its essence without any extras.

Overall, this coffee is a real treat. It has its own unique strengths when compared to others like Caribou’s, so keep reading for the low-down.

Strengths: chocolate and graham paradise

Like any good flavored coffee, Coffee Beanery’s s’mores emits a wonderful aroma when opening the bag, grinding the beans, and brewing. You can definitely smell the milk chocolate and a little hint of graham.

The flavor of the coffee matches that aromatic experience. It nails the chocolate flavor, the most dominant flavoring of the three. It has a milk chocolate quality to it, reminscent of Hershey’s cocoa.

A nice graham flavor pairs up with the chocolate to channel more of the toasted s’mores vibe.

Overall, the s’mores flavor is balanced, pleasant, and complex enough to make it fun to search for the flavors while caffeinating up for the day.

Weakness: light on the marshmallow, strong on the flavor

Sadly, one weakness is too light of a marshmallow flavor. There is a little bit of marshmallow sweetness at the beginning of each sip, but I wish it was more present. If that’s important to you, you’ll still probably enjoy this one though. (I do.)

As with all flavored coffees, I have trouble drinking this one daily. After about a week, I find it to be too rich and overwhelming. Mixing it half-and-half with other coffee grounds helps back it off a little for more frequent consumption.

Small business touch, big business flavor

Weaknesses aside, this is still an excellent coffee from my neighbors up in Michigan. The whole flavor works well together and is very s’moresy. Give it a whirl!
