Kind: American Roast-Low Acid

Brand: Don Pedro

What, only two dollars for a can of coffee, not a cup of coffee?

Who says you can’t get a good can of coffee for two dollars.

Yes… That is right. I was low on funds one day, and when I turned to my backup plan of finding my backup coffee in the freezer. I realized it was empty.

So of course being one who loves coffee, I went out to the nearest grocery store. Went browsing through the coffees as always, to find something new and not too expensive. With me this could take more than just a few minutes, as my eyes and senses circled around and around throughout the entire coffee isle a few times.

I finally came across a can of coffee called “Cafe’ Don Pedro” American Roast stating it had low acid, and was rich and smooth.

Of course all the writing on the can all caught my eye. Unfortunately I was not able to smell it being in a can… Then the big surprise was seeing the price marked underneath the coffee. What? Two dollars?

OK, just a coffee being marked two dollars already had my curiosity. So I went for it. Even if it was going to be a bad coffee, I still wanted to give it a try and see what a two-dollar coffee would taste like. Haha!

Well, believe it or not. I will purchase this coffee again.

Let me break it down in a little more detail. This coffee is from Houston, Texas. Other than that I do not know much more. I did check out their website, and seems to be a coffee company who has things going right so far. How do they make a coffee so cheap in price is beyond me. But it is worth the two dollars.

Once I got the coffee home, I made sure I tested it in every way.

So opening it up for aroma of course was my first test.

It had a great aroma for the price, actually a great aroma even if it were a five- dollar coffee.

As for the grind, it had an average dark grind for being only two dollars. So it won my senses on the freshness out of the can.

The brewing did not have much of a scent, but it was not bad either.

It didn’t give me that wake me up and smell the coffee feeling, like you’d see in a TV commercial.

The one thing that surprised me for not having much of a scent it did have a pretty flavor full taste.

Take in mind for two-dollars, it was not robust as you might say. But it wasn’t bitter either like many other name brand low priced coffees I have tried.

So, for a coffee to get you by for a few days, it was well worth the two dollars.

This will probably be my back up coffee for future times.

My over all rating of this coffee as far as price and flavor. Both a thumbs up! For two dollars you’re getting a pretty good coffee. Fragrance on the grind, thumbs up. I’d give it thumbs down on brewing scent. So over all on scent, I went a head and gave it thumbs up.

The jolt of the caffeine in this coffee is very sufficient. For two bucks, heck yes!

I would recommend this coffee as an all season coffee. Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter. Good for the office when you are on a tight budget.
