 Love Dat Coffee May 25, 2008
This is the best coffee around. It is sooo strong that you can actually use 1/2 the amount, so long as it is like 8 cups - 4 scoops, any amount of water less than that and the flavor can get lost. I have been hooked on it ever since my college days in New orleans, and now I buy it by the case from the site. It is the best coffee and it is priced very well for the taste. I have had other coffees that are $18 per 1/2 pund and they do not compare... trust me, go to Cafe DuMonde's site and try it out.
 Great taste, less buzz February 26, 2008
Chicory gives this coffee its rich taste, dark color and syrupy body -- I guess, although no other chicory-cut coffee I've ever tasted was this good. Although this coffee tastes very strong and robust, I suspect it has less caffeine than the straight stuff; at least, I've been able to drink a lot of it without getting the jitters.
I usually buy mine for some ridiculously low price at an Asian market, but lately they've been out of stock. Anyone know why Asian markets carry this product? I wonder if there's an interesting story behind that...
Coffee and Famously Fabulous Fritters December 22, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
On a sultry July morning, a few years before Katrina blew into town, a friend and I wandered into the frenetic, powder-sugar dusted Cafe du Monde for an early cup of coffee and the famously fabulous fritters we had heard so much about. We were hot, sweaty, and more than a little worn out from having hoofed all over the historic district. It would take more than a few Dunkin Donuts to revive our exausted, jaded spirits and a whole lot more than a Krispee Kream to skewer our skepticism.
The pastries needed to be fresh, hot, and Paris-pretty to impress us. The coffee had to be perfectly percolated to perk us up.
What we had that morning (several plates of steaming, sinfully-sweet, precisely-powdered beignets) were tiny pillows of pastry perfection. The beignets were so good, we made several more early morning trips to Cafe du Monde during our stay in New Orleans. The coffee was utterly addictive, strong, lovely, full-bodied, with a rich aroma that could be detected long before we entered the shop.
Once home, I experienced a serious post-perfect-beignet let-down. Krispee Kream no longer cut it. Starbucks was sadly unsatisfying.
I was thrilled when I discovered I could buy Cafe du Monde's beignet mix and coffeee online. I ordered several boxes and cans, stocked up on a truck-load of powdered sugar, and anxiously waited by my mailbox. When the much-coveted beignet mix was finally delivered, I wasted no time in firing up the oil and brewing a pot of coffee.
I was very pleased with the beignet mix and the chicory coffee. The directions were easy to follow (just add water) and the amount of mix in the box was generous for the price. Once properlly prepared, the beignets were just as delicious as those served at Cafe du Monde (of course, you do have that tiresome clean-up when you make them at home that you don't have when you go to the cafe in New Orleans, but all truly great things come with a price).
Pefect patries and heavenly coffee. Forget Starbucks!
Welcome to Flavour Country!!! February 11, 2007
This is a very unique but good coffee. Brew it strong and then cut it 50/50 with hot 3% milk. Mmmmmmmm, now that's a spicy meatball!!!!!
BEST COFFEE EVER! December 6, 2004
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have been to NOLA twice, and both times drank as much Cafe Du Monde as possible. Make it 50% coffee (I use a french press) and 50% hot whole milk. I get mine at the local asian market for $3.65 a can but this price is fair for the coffee, and it is simply the best, full chickory taste. Great with grits in the morning too!
