Introducing Door County Coffee & Tea Co. Cinnamon Buns Cold Brew
From Wisconsin’s well-known Door County, the Door County Coffee & Tea Co., established in 1993, presents the Cinnamon Buns flavored cold brew. This black, unsweetened coffee boasts zero guilt, with no cream, no sugar, and only 11 fluid ounces packing 200 milligrams of caffeine.
Product Features
- Flavor: Cinnamon Buns
- Calories: Zero
- Dietary Info: Gluten-free, Keto-friendly, Dairy-free
- Recommended Serving:** Enjoy cold in a can, or pour over ice and add heavy cream for a richer experience.
Packaging and Purchase
We picked up this intriguing brew at Menard’s hardware store for a bargain price, likely due to recent packaging updates by the brand. The new design adds a touch of class that Wisconsin coffee lovers can appreciate.
Tasting Experience
Upon tasting, our reactions were mixed. The initial aroma was promising, but the taste didn't quite hit the mark. Despite being cold brew, the coffee exhibited high acidity, leaving a battery-acid-like sensation on the sides of our tongues. The expected cinnamon bun flavor was virtually non-existent, overshadowed by a burnt coffee taste.
Final Verdict
- Taste: High acidity, burnt coffee flavor, lacking cinnamon bun notes
- Texture: Thicker than expected for a black coffee
- Overall: Not enjoyable, especially for those who prefer sweeter, less acidic coffee
Recommendations
This drink is likely best suited for hardcore black coffee enthusiasts. As someone who prefers quick and simple coffee solutions like instant coffee, this product required more effort than desired.
Conclusion
Our rating system gives the Door County Coffee & Tea Co. Cinnamon Buns Cold Brew a thumbs down. The flavor profile and high acidity make it difficult to recommend, especially when the marketed cinnamon bun flavor is hardly detectable. If you’re a black coffee purist, this might be worth a try, but it didn't work for us.
