    Disclosure: I received complimentary samples of Brulerie Faro coffee from JavaFly to review. As always, all opinions are my own.

    Life is too short not to drink a good cup of coffee or a glass of wine. Right? And water, well we all know we should be drinking a lot more of it than we are.

    Did you know you are supposed to drink somewhere between ⅔ to equal your weight in ounces of water?! Thank goodness the water in coffee counts towards that total 'cause that's a lot of water! And I love coffee!

    I was asked to do a taste comparison on 2 coffees of my own choice which I received from JavaFly. JavaFly touts itself as a leader in the wholesale coffee market and offers low prices, fast shipping, and a huge selection encompassing everything from espresso to flavored coffees.

    They carry many Keurig-compatible coffee K-cups as well as Nespresso coffee capsules. The coffee being taste-tested today was produced by Brulerie Faro Coffee, a Canadian coffee company specializing in micro-batch, single-origin, and direct trade coffees.

    I wanted to do a fair comparison so I chose the Smooth Colombian Excelso, a richer coffee, along with a flavored coffee, the French Vanilla. I was also lucky enough to obtain some samples of Moka Java from my daughter. So I'll actually be taste testing three varieties.

    For the test, I used my Keurig 2.0 and had no trouble with K-cup compatibility. I brewed both an 8-oz. and a 10-oz. version in order to get a better grasp of the flavors.

    • Smooth Colombian Excelso: I brewed this in a 10-oz serving and found the coffee tasty but a little too smooth for my preference. There was not enough body I guess you would say. It did have a slight flavor of, perhaps, caramel but it was not overly noticeable. I tried it again in an 8-oz. serving and it was still a little too weak for both my husband's and my taste.
    • French Vanilla: This one really was my favorite, brewed in either an 8-oz or 10-oz serving, and surprisingly enough my husband's favorite as well and he hates flavored coffees. This one had a wonderfully smooth but rich coffee taste with just a slight hint of vanilla. It was enough to please the flavored coffee hater and the flavored coffee lover - me!
    • Moka Java - This was best brewed in an 8-oz serving and was very smooth and mellow. There was slightly more body to this blend than the Smooth Colombian Excleso, with a slight, but nice, edge on the finish, and both my husband and I enjoyed it. But I would have to say that we would have preferred a bolder blend. I would recommend this one for people that tend to like a mellower cup of coffee.

    Know what else you can do with your coffee? Add it to your breakfast smoothie, like our Coffee Smoothie or this great-tasting Banana Pancake Smoothie, for a delicious morning wake-me-up!
