Not every flavored coffee is something you can drink every day, but this one is—you’ll never get tired of it

Imagine it: you get up in the morning, it's freezing outside, the fire is crackling in the fireplace. You put water on the coffee and open a bag of Common Grounds. Taste the aroma of bourbon vanilla throughout the room and create a perfectly 'cozy' atmosphere.
Simple and forgiving. Common Grounds can handle almost anything – French press, V60, mocha pot.
Perfect even for complete beginners.

Very interesting sweet whiskey scent.
It can be both bitter and slightly acidic, as well as vice versa. Try different preparation options. At first I didn't like it until I found a suitable way. Experiment with coarseness and watering method (V60). Petka water up to 100 minerals per liter (for example "good water")
A little more bitter and less acidic, it depends on the preparation and your taste.

Coffee (g): 20g
Water (g): 300g

Good result even with the first cup.
Good, sweet taste.
Great both with milk and as Espresso.
It's worth repeating, even though I've had better ones.
I would have expected more pronounced dried fruit.

From the beginning, the unusual aroma of whiskey already upon opening and grinding the coffee. It didn't seem like the best combination (for me) at first, but after a few sips after being prepared in a French press, I find that it's not bad at all
Surprisingly good espresso result on the first "attempt"
The whiskey flavor is balanced so that you can definitely smell it, but it's nothing that overpowers the coffee
Probably the best result over the V60. The purity of the V60 suits it very well, in my opinion. Nicely balanced coffee, whiskey just pleasantly plays in the background.

Super "dessert" coffee!
Ideal for an afternoon dessert :)
Distinct but not overpowering whiskey taste
It's not a coffee that you drink several times a day, more like a snack :)

Yes, aging in whiskey barrels has left a clear mark. From the beginning, I liked it very much, but lightly
she drank too much. Definitely worth tasting.

I had to drink to it, the taste is surprising at first, but then you get used to it and actually appreciate its uniqueness. Although it is very interesting, I probably won't buy it again right away.

Until recently, my passion. But the last two orders of this coffee disappointed me. The wonderful smell and taste of whiskey is gone. All that remained was the balanced taste of coffee as such.
