I heard about Cafe Du Monde coffee on a cooking video. The person describing the coffee made it sound so good that I ordered a can. The smell is a nice deep coffee smell and the grind is a little more course than some of the other on the shelf coffees. The flavor is really mild, not weak. The chicory doesn't affect the flavor and in my opinion there's no bitterness at all. My first cup, I made too sweet. I use coffee syrups and a pack of Splenda with my regular coffee. This combination made it way to sweet. I had to add more coffeee bc it was undrinkable. Also milk or cream makes it mild enough so you don't really even need a sweetener. I'm also like my coffee very strong and add a shot of espresso along with a 1/2 pump of syrup and 1/2 packet of Splenda. This makes my perfect cup. The downsides, I have to drag out my French press. I have a very easy to use Nespresso. Hardly any clean-up. I also bought these little bags that I patiently filled with coffee bc I HATE cleaning the grounds out of the press. I review those in another post. I will be this again but not for daily use. The cost of the coffee and filling those little bags is a bit of a drag. I'll save this for weekends and special occasions. 4 Stars.
