best coffee ever
I love this flavor. Went into it not expecting much but it is so good and the aroma fills my house and makes people think I started breakfast when all i did was brew coffee. I usually will brew this and make my maple almond scones to go with it. The coffee aroma made me feel like I was a kid when we owned a cabin in NH. This is a great coffee with or with creamer.

Tasted chemical
Ok I got this together with their Kona Blend coffee. I admit, most times these flavored coffee are articifically, no real coffee will taste like almond french toast but this bag had a distinct chemical taste and smell to it, its not entirely undrinkable, just that its not real coffee. Another thing don't expect to make this in a expresso machine because its medium to coarse grind, much like the rest of the flavored coffee. They can say whatever they like on the package but maybe its me or the bag which I had, the chemical taste is terrible. I won't be getting any more coffee from Magnum.

Good coffee, not for me
I read quite a bit of reviews before buying this coffee. I am not an avid coffee drinker, but do enjoy it. This coffee is good, but not my favorite. I wish there were a little more almond taste. This coffee is very sweet and heavy. It is a good, but in moderation. Definetly a dessert coffee, I drink it at night. It does make the whole room smell good though! I might buy it again, but only to drink once in a blue moon.

Defect?
I read the other reviews on this item before I ordered it. Based on those, this coffee sounded wonderful! I ordered it along with a French press so that I could enjoy a cup of coffee before class. When I received both items, I immediately tried to make a cup of this "amazing" coffee. What I found was a coffee that had a repulsive after taste. I cannot describe it, but it tastes like chemicals. Not willing to write off the reviews I had read that easily, I thoroughly cleaned the French press -again- and tried the coffee. Same taste. Finally, I used a different coffee in the press and found that it tasted wonderful. My conclusion? Either this coffee is GROSSLY overrated, or I got a bad batch. Either way, I will not be buying again.

The Tantilizing Aroma of Maple Syrup...
When I opened the shipping box containing the Almond French Toast Coffee, I was greeted by the tantilizing aroma of maple syrup. I had high hopes that the brewed coffee would have the taste that was promised by the fragrant aroma. Instead, I found the coffee had a slight almond taste, but not even a hint of maple syrup. Thinking that perhaps adding cream and sweetening the coffee would bring out the maple, I tried that. There was still no taste or aftertaste of the promised maple essence.I am finding that as I reach the end of the bag of coffee, a slight maple taste is coming into the mix. It may be that the coffee I received was not thoroughly blended before bagging or that the bag was not tightly sealed during the manufacturing process. This would account for the aroma that greeted me when I opened the shipping box.Nevertheless, like other coffees from Magnum Coffee Roastery, this coffee is a good medium brew - smooth and having no bitter aftertaste. It is for that reason that I have rated this as a four-star product.

Surprisingly good
I once again read all the reviews about this coffee, the good, the bad, the ugly, and bought the coffee any way. I keep in mind all of our taste buds are different, mine must be one of the good ones. I really liked this coffee, I liked everything about it.The coffee, was not too strong, bitter or acidic, it was smooth and mellow, with a good aftertaste. Long after I finished drinking the coffee, I would affirm, I still tasted, french toast coffee, a good thing, the aftertaste was not bad.My thoughts are, this would make a nice iced coffee, or be served during a brunch, or as an after dinner coffee. If you want something stronger, then, this is not for you.I like it and I am sticking to my words on this one.

Weird chemical-like aftertaste
I tried a sample of this coffee and was disappointed. The almond flavor was pretty fake tasting and not something I would want again. It's hard to find flavored coffee that actually tastes like the real flavor they're going for, but this truly misses the mark. Smells great though when it's brewing but that just adds to the disappointment.

It's OK
Good price. Overall OK coffee. The flavor and smell are a touch too artificial/chemical for my taste. I've been drinking it for about 3 days and have reached my experimental limit. I'm switching back to normal coffee.
