Review: The Caribou Coffee Website makes a big deal about their carefully selected coffee farmers who take care in delivering old world varieties of Arabica beans. While I appreciate the effort, this blend sits precisely at average on the palette. I'm not knocking this coffee. I'm just saying that there is nothing special about this smooth brew that tastes like coffee, looks like coffee and acts like coffee. That is where the virtue of this cup of stimulant lies. How many coffee shops can you name where you get a simple and strong cup of coffee? This blend's strength is its banality, its conventionality...Its simple essence of coffee.
