Coffee Review: Caribou Coffee's Daybreak Morning Blend


Daybreak Morning Blend is one of Caribou Coffee's long-time staple blends. It is a Rainforest Alliance Certified coffee and is rated at an 86 on Kenneth Davids' "Coffee Review." Daybreak's lighter roast and lively personality makes it a good year-round morning coffee as well as a great blend for the summer. Daybreak is also available in K-Cup form for the Keurig.




Tasting: Aroma***; mild scent of roasted almonds and strong aroma of sweet florals. Acidity****; powerful biting sensation on the sides of tongue. Body**; very smooth,washing over the palate with only the slightest coating. Flavor*****; intensely flavored citrus notes overtake this coffee, giving it a full mouth-feel. Complementing the citrus notes are light touches of nuts and honey.

I recommend this coffee to anyone who enjoys citrusy notes in his coffee. Many African coffees will fall into this category. This coffee is also very similar to Starbucks' Shade Grown Mexico. Fair summer coffee. Fantastic breakfast coffee.
