PROBLEM: I usually enjoy a cup of coffee a few days a week, more as an indulgence than as a necessity. It's a sipping beverage for me, and flavor matters a lot. That said, I add milk and sugar, so I'm not excessively picky (or I think so, at least). So I'm always glad to find new "gourmet" blends to add to my list of favorites. This blend seemed promising, with a very nice aroma and a perfect, even grind. I usually grind my own beans, but found that this grind worked nicely in my espresso machine as-is. It even produced a rich, smooth crema. Unfortunately, my first sip - without sugar or milk - was very bitter. I ended up adding about a half-teaspoon more sugar than I usually use just to compensate. Even then, the coffee flavor, itself, was thin and weak. With just a little milk added, it tasted more like, well, flavored milk. This coffee reminded me of the inoffensive bland coffee my parents used to get for our drip coffee maker a couple of decades ago. Fine for that application, but not really what I'm looking for in rich, smooth flavor with low bitterness.

PROBLEM: I eat very little candy, but every once in a while I can't resist. Well, sometimes I'll try a candy substitute and on my last trip to the grocery store, I spotted some bags (2.75 ounces) of Werther's Original Hard Candies (Sugar Free). They're very low in calories. Okay, are they any good? Well, they taste a little like a very weak creamy caramel hard candy. I tired of them after the third one. They have a bit of an illusion of candy, but just don't match up. I doubt that I'll finish the bag. Oh well, maybe it's for the best. Gary Peterson
