Gingerbread Coffee

(4 votes)

Rate this listing

You know it’s really fall and that we’re headed for the holiday season when Trader Joe’s rolls out its flavored coffee blends. Unlike most “flavored coffees”, TJs mixes whole beans with pieces of real spices that get ground up alongside the beans and actually flavor the coffee. not just scent it. Their newest addition is Trader Joe’s Gingerbread Coffee, “coffee spiked with real ginger, cinnamon and gloves.”

When you open the can, it smells just like gingersnap cookies: sweet and spicy.

Brewed, the coffee is very good. It has a mild scent and flavor of cloves, which gives it a very gingerbready feel. The beans are a medium roast and the coffee overall is smooth and rich tasting, with no bitterness to it. This is definitely an excellent choice for fall and is perfect for serving with cookies - especially gingersnaps or molasses cookies, as well as with anything chocolate.

Perfect for the holidays

bybee_queen, November 4, 2008

I love flavored coffees, and this one is unlike any other I have tried. The beans themselves are not flavored -- rather, it's a medium roast coffee infused with bits of real cinnamon, cloves, allspice and nutmeg. When the beans are ground, it releases the flavor of the spices and makes a cup of coffee that's just like a freshly baked piece of gingerbread. Perfect for the holidays, or any time. The spices are not overpowering and give a nice smell and flavor to the coffee.

Perfect for entertaining

Very nice flavor. Not overpowering with the spices. Goes great with pumpmpkin bread!

Best way to grind ...

Grind this one a little coarser than you would normally - the flavors come through much better.
