Gourmet Blend 2 packets 17.6 oz

This is the only coffee we have at home. Absolutely love the taste and smell of it

Really good! Has nice body, dark roast with chocolatey notes. I have bought it twice so far.

The flavor of this coffee is absolutely wonderful — I use it every day

I've had this coffee iced at Vietnamese restaurants and found that I loved it so decided to buy it after buying a Vietnamese coffee maker. It is super strong even though I didn't use the full recommended amount. The flavor was good when mixed with the condensed milk. I was "zinging" for hours after drinking it, so beware and don't drink it late in the day. I'm not so sure I like the addition of chocolate flavoring in it. I don't remember that from my restaurant experiences. Neverless, if you have a hankering for Vietnamese eced coffee and can't get to a restaurant this is probably the next best thing. Just cut down on the amount recommended.

Im not a coffee connoisseur at all and cant tell the difference between harbucks or mcdowels, but I do know the taste of ca phe sua da in socal and have been casually engaged in finding the right blend. The oft recommended, Cafe du Monde, is definitely not the flavor. Im not sure what chicory is, but its a funny tasting coffee, fairly mild, and no matter how long I try to filter it to get it stronger/darker, the coffee just isnt the right amount of blackness. So I turned to Trung Nguyen, and based on recommendations from internet, friends, and the website itself, this is one of (if not the) most popular blend. Its got a great flavor full of nuttiness and sure presses better than du Monde (almost no grounds at bottom of cup), but its still not the ca phe sua da Im used to. For one, the color is a definite brown, not black and it isnt strong. Ill give the Creative #1 a try which says its a dark and strong robusta coffee (no blend), compared to this which is a blend of nearly everything. So if you are looking for a great tasting coffee full of complex flavors that are beyond what I can describe, give this a try... you wont be disappointed to the least. But, if you are looking for that really strong, jet black coffee that can strip paint off a car and wake up dirt, and that when mixed with condensed milk turns into a rich golden-brown concoction that is ca phe sua da, then you need to look elsewhere (like that Creative #1... possibly).

Quick ship. Well packaged. Good price. What more could you ask for.

I like coffee! Don't you! Anyway I am always open to the experience of good coffee. Searching around I came across the Trung Nguyen Gourmet Blend - a Vietnamese blend, which was 'a little this and a little of that' - arabica rustelo and other ingredients not really known to me, but in the spirit of 'I"ll try anything once, I went ahead and tried it AND I liked it. It has a very pleasing aroma and a mellow taste with chocolate accents. I used my 'pour over coffee filter' (which keeps coffee grounds from going into the cup) allowing me to make 1 cup at a time. Two tablespoons of ground coffee; add hot water and I had a very good cup of coffee with no grounds for objection! Mmm good. Now I am on my second cup. I tried it; I liked it Maybe you will too! 1

I have been drinking this coffee for over 10 years. Suddenly, this coffee tastes way different than it used to. The taste is now very weak, is absent of the nutty taste I loved and now, ironically burned my mouth. Like a chemical burn not a heat burn. I did some research and found that some of the Vietnamese coffee companies are using harmful fillers and dyes. I tried to return the product and it was "not eligible". I will never again purchase this coffee and never again purchase any coffee that is pre-ground. You should do the right thing and refund my last shipment. I have cancelled my subscription as well.

TLDR: Der Kaffee ist zu empfehlen. Ich habe diesen Kaffee bestellt, nachdem ich von 'einer Freundin einen Phin und ihren Kaffee bekam, welchen sie von ihrer Familie aus VN geschenkt bekam. Ich weiß nicht genau was für ein Kaffee dies genau war, aber es war "the real deal". :p Im direkten Vergleich (VN Kaffee = der von 'einer Freundin, Trung = der, den Sie sich gerade anschauen): Aussehen: Beide Kaffees haben eine typisch, gröbere Körnung. Der Trung Kaffee hat farblich ein helleres, jedoch satteres braun. Der VN Kaffee hingegen ist deutlich dunkler, wirkt zugleich aber minimal bleicher. Geruch: Beide riechen süßlich, kakao-ig. Der VN Kaffee riecht etwas 'gebrannter' und schwächer, wobei dies an der längeren Lagerung liegen kann. Der Trung Kaffee dagagen hat einen stärkeren Geruch, welcher etwas ine ine andere Richtung geht, die ich nicht beschreiben kann. Dieser übertont den ansonsten Kakaoigen geruch. Zubereitung: Der Trung Kaffee scheint weitaus ergiebiger zu sein! Ich verwende in meinem fall pro Glas c.a. einen gehäuften Esslöffel Kaffee bei beiden Kaffees. Der Trunk Kaffee tropft langsamer und ist dementsprechend stärker, während der VN Kaffee bei gleicher Menge und gleichem Druck vom Phin vor allem zum Ende hin wässrig wird. Geschmack: Hier der entscheidende Punkt - wie schmeckt's? (beide Kaffees trinke ich mit wenig gesüßter Kondensmilch, da ich ungern schwarzen Kaffee trinke) Der Trung Kaffee erinnert, vor allem beim ersten Direktvergleich, eher an Kaffee welcher mit Rooibos-Tee gemixt wurde. Die kakaoige Note entfält sich erst nach einigen Schlucken. Dies kann sehr wohl mit dem 'Beigeruch' des Kaffees zusammenhängen. Der VN Kaffee hingegen schmeckt von Anfang an sehr Kakaoig und stark, unter Zugabe von mehr Kaffee (zum Ausgleich der Tropgeschwindigkeit) erinnert er minimal an Lakritz. Fazit: Insbesondere auf Grund der fehlenden verfügbaren Alternativen ist der Trung Nguyen Kaffee definitiv eine solide Kaufempfehlung für jeden, der diesen Kaffee auch Zuhause selbst machen will. Der Kaffee schmeckt nicht ganz exakt wie der aus Vietnam, schmeckt jedoch durchaus sehr gut und hat seine eigenen Stärken. Preislich ist dieser Kaffee zwar etwas an der teuren seite, ist jedoch in Anbetracht der guten Ergiebigkeit und Importkosten keinesfalls unangemessen. Tip für Cà phê sữa : Gesüßte Kondensmilch ist in Deutschland nicht all-zu gängig. Geschäfte wie Edeka, mit internationalen Artikeln, führen diese jedoch häufig z.B. in der Abteilung für russische Spezialitäten.

tornato da un viaggio in Vietnam un anno fa con una cospicua scorta di caffe', compreso quello predigerito dalla donnola presto esaurito per regali ad amici e conoscenti, ho continuato ad approvigionarmi da siti americani ed europei: li suo sapore pieno fragrante speziato mi ha convinto. la miscela di tre qualita' rustica guli ed arabica e' perfettamente equilibrata. dopo un fallito tentativo con la moca, e' quasi esplosa, il caffe' e' molto grasso e macinato grosso intasando il filtro, in attesa della caffettiera ad hoc dalla preparazione indaginosa, richiede di scaldare l'acqua a parte, ho utilizzato la vecchia napoletana che risponde perfettamente alla bisogna e non ho piu' abbandonat, il tempo di farmi la barba ed e' pronto. il Vietnam e' il secondo produttore mondiale di caffe'. Questa confezione che viene dalla Germania e' ottima per qualita' e prezzo, solo le spese di spedizione sono un po' alte, ma i capricci costano.

Coffee is delicious! I wanted creative 8 but can't seem to find any to ship to Canada but this blend is very lovely. Just a note however, all three boxes were damaged and by damaged, I mean basically destroyed and two were actually opened! The tear flaps on the boxes were wide open and they look almost like they'd been opened, returned and then shipped out again. The coffee itself is in sealed bags inside so it's not a huge deal but for 50$, it would have been nice to have the satisfaction of opening them myself, because this was bought as a special treat.

Great taste and arrived fresh
