Seattle's Best Portside blend

Brewing this cup brought me back to being a kid. It smelled just like my dad's coffee brewing. This is a basic coffee not great but not bad, it isn't pricey making it a good everyday coffee. This is a cup that tastes great no matter how you drink it, black it has a slight bitterness but it isn't overpowering. Adding sugar enhances the coffee flavor in the best way possible. Creamer tames the bitterness making it a good chuggable cup. I used the drip coffee maker.
Bottomline this is a good everyday kind of coffee.

Just Black- Black Rifle Coffee Co

This is a cup I can enjoy Just Black, like it's name suggests. There is no bitter after taste and it has a nice smooth taste with a strong aroma. I brewed this cup in a drip pot freshly ground bean to a medium coarseness.
Bottom line i would suggest this cup to anyone who loves coffee black or with sugar.

Great Value Donut Shop and Natural Bliss Coconut Creamer

Right off the bat I could smell this would not be one of my favorite coffees. Initially it was bitter, I planned on trying out the Natural bliss coconut creamer so i set aside a little to try with just sugar. The sugar did not help. I tried some with just the creamer, because the creamer was already pretty sweet. The creamer did cut some of the bitterness but I still needed to add sugar to make this cup enjoyable. I brewed this in a Keurig and use raw cane sugar to sweeten it.
Bottom line this is not a coffee to have black. This coffee needs sugar and cream to tame down the bitterness and make it enjoyable. The non dairy creamer was great. I tasted some on its own and it is sweet and creamy just what you want to use in a cup of coffee, if you are dairy-free.

Great Value Hazelnut Coffee

Okay this coffee is pretty good as far as cheap coffees go. However the hazelnut flavor is very  artificial tasting but if you do not add a lot of sugar it is pretty subtle. This would not be my go to coffee but it will do in a pinch. If the dough isn't there for the coffee fund this is a satisfying cup.
I brewed this cup using my reusable Keurig cup. I added 2 spoons of raw cane sugar.
Bottom line: not a go to cup but will do if low on funds

Snipers hide

I know this blog is called Tea Loving Wolf but I'm on a coffee kick. So today I ordered Snipers Hide from Black Rifle Coffee Company. First I have to say I love this company, they are veteran run and partnered with other veteran run companies. They have special blends that benefit different charities. I subscribe to the coffee club opting to receive a surprise blend each month. this months is Just Black but I am reviewing last months Snipers Hide.
Snipers Hide is a light roast coffee, (the lightest roast they offer) it is a blend of Columbian and Central American beans. I brewed my cup using a reusable K-cup and my Mr Coffee Keurig. I opted for the whole beans and ground mine fresh this morning.
This coffee as a pleasant aroma, it is subtle but reviving scent that makes my mouth water. With only a small amount of cane sugar added this coffee is smooth. I do not get a bitter after taste but a pleasant coffee flavor coating my tongue with a lasting yumminess.
Bottomline I would most defiantly recommend this coffee to a coffee lover and/or coffee novice.
