I was really hopeful that I'd like these coffees. Maud's is highly rated and I see their coffee pods in hotels and at nice breakfast buffets. I love the flavor variety. There is a very strong, unnatural chemical taste and aftertaste to all of their flavored coffees. They smell amazing, and then when I start drinking the coffees, it's not very pleasant. I've had some other vanilla flavored pods from other brands and I don't get this chemical aftertaste from other brands. I am someone who eats a lot of natural foods, so maybe I am not working with an average palette. I will probably bring the rest of this box to work or save it for guests who like flavored coffee.
