Now that I have left the world of university deadlines I can
consume coffee in an enjoyable manner rather than surrounding myself with
lukewarm cups of the highest caffeinated product in our kitchen so I have
decided to start a new type of post where I indulge my love of coffee by trying
out something new each month. I popped into my local supermarket and was drawn
to the ever so cute Beanies pots. Having had a nightmare with ‘sweet’ flavoured
instant coffee before I opted for the more interesting sounding Amaretto Almond flavour (despite never actually putting
actual amaretto in a coffee in my life).
What is most notable about this cute little pot of coffee is
the strong aroma that it gives off, it smells a little sweet, but also genuinely
like amaretto (I guess it smells a bit like those little biscuits they made on GBBO
this week). I was worried that the taste would be overpowering as well, however
it is actually nice and mild. The coffee is rich and smooth with a little
almond kick; it leaves a nice almond/coffee aftertaste in your mouth.
What I was surprised to find out is that this coffee is
sugar-free which is impressive for something flavoured like this. It’s nice because
Amaretto is supposed to pair well with chocolate and bloomin’ heck does this go
will with chocolate (although in my mind chocolate is excellent on all occasions
so that might not be the most un-bias comment).
Overall, I’d definitely recommend giving this a try
especially as it’s super reasonable (£2.50 for 50g) and really drinkable,
whether you want it for a nice alternative or to drink on a daily basis.
Also, please excuse how tacky my mug is! It was a present
from a friend, and truth be told I think it’s adorable.
Are you a fan of flavoured coffees?|
This sounds lovely, I adore flavoured coffee & I am currently loving a caramel one. I need to get my hands on this though (:

Caramel is the flavour I just cannot get on with - from a coffee shop I love it, but for instant it just tastes too sickly for me ): x
