My name is Lori and I'm a coffee snob. Ok, there. I've said it. What got me to try this is the orange peel, and boy, am I glad I did! This is a delicious mix, great to have when you want a special treat and you want it fast! I took half of it to the office today and everyone was asking what smelled so good. My coffee. Thanks for posting - this is a keeper! (PS: needs no milk or cream - it's perfect just black )

You're kidding me? That easy? I've been going bonkers (and through withdrawl) since a major food chain dropped a brand of bulk coffee, specifically this flavor!) and it's that simple? Already drying the orange peel, to make my own.. Still using a store-bought whole bean, but adding the ingredients to the grinder next pot, and enjoying a mixture I concocted, Cafe L'Orange, with Parisian Vanilla. (result: Creamcicle!) Thanks for the tip!

I made this up today to make sure it was gonna be a good mix for next Christmas' Gift Baskets for the coffee lovers on my list. Tried a sample cup with my DSIL Dave...needless to say he left here with a jar of mix to take home he loved it as much as I did. We both drink our coffee with cream, so added some French Vanilla Creamer to it...yummmmmmmy!!! Thank you dear for a wonderful mix that WILL be included in the Coffee Lovers Gift Baskets, and gonna always keep a jar made up for myself.

I didn't make this buy my DS's fiance did she drinks instant coffee, I have to say I tried this and loved it, so I am going to keep this mix on hand all the time, thanks for sharing Lori, made for ZWT

I love any kind of flavored coffee, and this is no exception. I really like that this is instant, too (super-convenient when I don't feel like brewing a pot of coffee for just me). I didn't find this too sweet at all, either. I was a little worried, between seeing the ratio of sugar to coffee, and reading the review that said that this was way too sweet, but I thought the sweetness was perfect. I just needed to add some milk to my cup because I don't like black coffee. To make the mix more homogenous, I whirred it in my Magic Bullet. Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT5 France
