BECK ON BEANS: Hurricane Coffee Category 5 French Roast by Cor.

TODAY'S BEAN: Hurricane Coffee Category 5 French Roast by Cor

Fragrance:

Smells like a Hershey bar sitting in a wet ash tray. There’s a citrus note to the fragrance, but it seems almost medicinal.

Flavor: 

I tried. After a few sips, I absolutely had to add cream and sugar. 

It tasted like all bitterness and artificial fruit. The cream and sugar cut the bitterness a bit, but now it just tastes like a very strong, over-steeped tea. It has a verdant flavor, almost minty. 

This is the strangest cup of coffee I’ve had in a long time. 

Recommended for: 

1. Tea drinkers. Cream and sugar this baby and you’ll barely know the difference.
2. Additives. As stated above. I couldn’t take it black. It might hold up well to icing. 

Not recommended for: 

1. Drinking black.
2. Sipping and savoring. 

Would I buy this again? 

No. I will actively avoid this coffee. No more than ten sips in and it’s already tearing up my stomach. 

This is one of those coffees for people who think drinking nearly burnt roast is a cool thing to do. The roast is so dark, it’s almost ashy. However, they’ve clearly used very fruity beans. Not my thing, but you might like it. 

I’m gonna drink it. It’s not so bad it won’t do for my morning cup, but I won’t be brewing this one again. Serve it to the g-men who come to search your house. Just don't spit on your own floor.
