Community Coffee – Product Review

By admin, on January 17th, 2010

Coffee with chicory. This is something that I have heard about for many years but had never had the chance to try. Being from Wisconsin, it’s just not something that you get around here. So, when I contacted Community Coffee to see if it would be possible to try some of their coffee I was thrilled when they agreed to let me.

For those of you that don’t know the story behind coffee with chicory, here it is:

Due to a coffee shortage during the Civil War, New Orleanians began extending their coffee supply by adding chicory, the root of the endive plant, roasted and ground. The result was a bittersweet, heavy-bodied brew. Coffee and chicory remains a New Orleans favorite today.

This really is some of the best coffee that I have tasted. And, at $5.49 a pound is extremely reasonable.

We also received a 4 pack sampler (I apologize for the picture). It included Bread Pudding, Holiday Jazz, and Pecan Praline. These were all delicious as well, but in my opinion they just can’t compare to the Coffee with Chicory, lol. Can you tell I really like that?

Included in our package was also a pound of the Cafe Special. Another delicious coffee, not too strong and appealing to most coffee drinkers, at least I would think so.

I HIGHLY recommend purchasing your coffee from Community Coffee – low prices, excellent service, and superb coffee are the recipe for a truly delicious experience!
