Try adding a half tsp of vanilla extract (and not the imitation flavor either).

I have just tried the sweet and creamy iced coffee discs and absolutely love it! It is low in calories (40 per serving) and I think the taste is great. I can see this being a huge hit this summer. It does sweeten with sucralose, but that is what I use anyway, so it is perfect for me. I can see adding a little vanilla flavoring or chocolate syrup to change it up, but I think it is great the way it is, too.

I am so going to try that Cool Brew! I love a vanilla iced coffee it is my favorite! The MCD's vanilla iced coffee with extra cream is the best thing ever! Does anyone know if this will be close to that? I love a strong vanilla flavor in my iced coffee's. I am glad you guys mentioned this on here I had never heard of it. I have been searching for something like this forever....thanks!

It's ok. There was a pronounced caramel aroma, but not a real caramel taste.

Take a cue from Egarneau, this is really good stuff ; ) I order it now and really love the taste. The flavored coffees make for a wonderful flavored latte or cap too.

I don't use my Tassimo for iced coffee. I always use the coffee extracts from Coolbrew.com. They are smooth, robust and come in different flavors, including a decaf and a dark roast. It's real coffee concentrate and is refrigerated, so is perfect for iced coffee.

I heard so many postitive things about the MH French Roast, and I though that I'd give it a try. Unfortunatly I'm not too impressed. Too watery and acidic.

The Kenco Medium Roast, and the Carte Noire Voluptuoso Coffee and Kenya Coffee are my choices (for now until they muck them up.)

Wolfsatz is right. Taste and preferences of coffees are relative. Although I'm not fond of G or MH, others love it. In order for me to enjoy G, it would need to be less acidic and more full bodied; bolder. From the G expresso to the morning brew, there's a watery acidic taste. Normally, expressos from good coffee shops are very strong, very full bodied, yet very smooth, thickish, with very little acidity. Now, others like high acidity in their coffees. Its all good, just a matter of preference.

Gevalia for some reason has a bad reputation because a lot of people are very loud when they don't like their coffee.

However, I recently tried one of the espresso T-Discs, and it was quite good. I have not tried their iced coffee, but ultimately your own taste buds are as unique as you as an individual. There may be thousands that don't like it but you just may love it. Give them a try and check it out.

Has anyone tried it? I love iced coffee but the things I've heard about gevalia haven't been very good. Any opinions?
