Maxwell House Instant Cafe-Style Beverage Mix, Decaf and Sugar Free, Easy to Prepare, 1 Canister, for Quick Morning Coffee or Afternoon Treat, French Vanilla Cafe, Kosher Dairy, 4.3 oz

Surprisingly tasty. For a quick, inexpensive instant coffee, it is pretty good and satisfying. It comes premixed with creamer and sugar-free. Easy to make when you don't want brew anything. Just heat some water and put some of the mix in and done. Not my favorite go-to, but if I want some quick, this is what I reach for.

I remember when General Mills International Coffees came out in the 1980s and, while I don't recall if there was a Vanilla Caramel flavor, I do recall all the flavors shared something that I overlooked in favor of "something special"---a strange mouthfeel of, well, a bit syrupy. (It was the 1980s. Our choices in many areas were fewer and our standards lower. Much, much lower.) I saw this on Amazon, discovered that Maxwell House owns the International Coffees line and Maxwell House freshly brewed never disappoints, so I took a chance. This morning I made a cup of this and LOVED IT. Delicious, not too sweet (I added sugar, but that's my taste), and creamy---with a clean, not syrupy, mouthfeel. Then I made a second and still loved it. It's a different brand, true (I don't think Maxwell House had coffee mixes in their line back then), but I assume the standards of ingredients in the industry were about the same then. Regardless, this is excellent. As good as freshly brewed? Of course not. Would I shy away from offering to guests? Depends on my guests, of course, but if they wouldn't be put off by an offer of hot cocoa from a packet, I would offer this. It's a blustery autumn day as I write this and now I want to try this iced. I think making a cup per instructions then letting it cool and adding ice should work. A week later... So, I tried it cold. I made a cup and let it cool on the counter, put it in the fridge, and left it overnight. The next day, Itook a sip and drank it all without putting ice in the glass. It was as smooth and delicious icy cold as it was piping hot. To be honest, I worried that it might change consistency in the cold, but nope. Maxwell House wins again.

Delicious! It’s very hard to find this product in stores. The sugar free and decaf combination makes this a great drink!

I buy this for my teenage sister to keep stocked in her college dorm—she loves it. The creamy vanilla flavor is soothing and cozy, just what she needs after late-night study sessions or early morning classes.

Bit expensive if you’re a big coffee drinker but I’m not a huge coffee person

Niceeee! Taste so good!

This tastes very good! Sometimes sf and temps are tolerable. This is actually very good.

Delicious coffee & so easy! I am using this instead of getting coffee out so it's saving me money. I add a little espresso powder and use slightly less than the 2 rounded tbsp called for and get at least 10 (8oz) coffees out of a can. Try it, costs less than 1 coffee at a chain!
