As a self-admitted coffee-holic, I was so thrilled to be chosen to sample one of Folgers' newest products: Folgers Flavors Coffee Enhancers. I'm always looking for new ways to flavor my coffee and I'm always up for trying out new products, so it was a total win-win from the get go.
Before my sample pack arrived, I had preconceived notions of what the four bottles would look like: I figured they'd be the size of normal coffee creamers and I figured they'd need to be refrigerated. Boy, was I ever wrong!
For one thing, they're tiny, as you can see from the bottle perched on my hat. I guess I didn't pay much attention when the documentation said each bottle would hold 1.62 ounces of product! They also don't need refrigeration, though you should try to use it all up within a month once a bottle is opened.
With all of that aside, let's get to the brass tacks.
* I received four bottles of product. Flavors included were Hazelnut, Caramel, Mocha, and Vanilla.
* The bottles may be mini, but yowza, they pack a serious punch! If you should happen to get some of the liquid on your finger, don't taste it! It'll be way stronger than you'd ever imagine. The Caramel one actually burned my tongue a wee bit (though it's totally fine in coffee, so no worries there!).
* Flavor preferences vary per person, of course, but I found that a gentle squeeze or two gave me more than enough flavoring. The bottle looks so small that you can't imagine it'll last long, but trust me: it will. That little bottle goes a long way. And be very careful when you squeeze: it shoots out like a rocket!
* I found the flavors to be true-to-life, eg, they taste how you'd expect them to taste. My personal favorite is the Hazelnut.
* It's not a creamy product, so if you like cream with your coffee, you'll need to add that separately. These are flavors ONLY.
* I LOVE that they're so tiny. They're super easy to store.
* I also love that there's no refrigeration required. It saves me much-needed fridge space!
All in all, I give these a thumbs up. Look for 'em at your local retailer!
