PROBLEM: My husband is gluten intolerant and as with all gluten free products out there the results are not always the best.  He loves this product and since I only really make the pancakes I can't say how the other Bisquick recipes would turn out for any of you.  And yes he has this texture and taste thing with gluten free products as well...  gritty, sandy or off tasting.... etc. etc...  So I am happy he likes this one!  With gluten free products you really have to test them out one by one as some perform in the taste and texture area better than other blends.  My advice to anyone searching for gluten free products they want to try that it is best to buy them in the single packages, if possible.  I know on Amazon they sell them in bulk but if you find that you don't like it you are then stuck with alot of packages you no longer want!  Just a tip for all of you out there.  It may cost more for one package but the waste will be much less unless you donate them to the local food bank...  Good product and great results!  Thank you, Bisquick!

SOLUTION: Positive

PROBLEM: For some reason my husband ordered a TON of this stuff for me for Christmas.  We live in Chicago & it's cold so I didn't try it right away.  I was craving something sweet so I finally made some tonight.  It tastes like icy chocolate, & it's a bit chalky.  To be honest it reminds me of the old powdered slimfast.  I've got a whole canister and 5 packets of this stuff & I don't know what I'm going to do with it.

SOLUTION: Negative

PROBLEM: ...or the good reviewers' taste buds are weak.  This is some disappointingly weak coffee.  I'm not some crazy "gotta have my jet black sludge to get through the day" coffee drinker - I'd say my favorite (and my wife's) is Caribou Blend.  This blend is WEAK, it can't hold half-and-half or even just whole milk without being wiped out.  Now, I will say I brew it on the "large cup" (9.25 oz, I believe) setting on our Keurig, so maybe it's a bit better on the 8oz setting, or even the small setting.  But Caribou (we also like Donut Shop, Green Mountain Kona Blend 10%, etc.) can be easily brewed on 9.25 and hold a good bold taste.  This coffee doesn't hold a CANDLE to any of those.  Now I'm stuck with 40+ of these. Blech...maybe the guests won't mind it! :)

SOLUTION:
Negative
