Finally I have done my taste test for the VitaCup Slim Cup Coffee. I know it took me a while to get to it but...here it is. To tell the truth, (sorry VitaCup) unfortunately I am not impressed. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that it is horrible but I am finding that the taste is not matching all the hoop-la. To me it is somewhat bitter. I followed the directions exactly but to tell the truth, it is not my cup of tea. Sorry about the pun. I'll let you now how it works out. It is supposed to have all these wonderful healthy things in it and maybe it does. I'll have to get back to you on that. Nope, my Maxwell House is still the best coffee for me.

Is it just coffee or it is already mixed with sugar or milk?

It's just coffee. You add your on milk and sugar if you wish.

@mrki444 No, I believe all of the types of coffee they sell have healthy properties. Slim is the one that is supposed to help you lose a little weight.

By the way, after I read your comment I tried it half and half as you suggested. Unfortunately it was still bitter. I also ended up having to use a cleaner to clean the coffee machine to get the lingering bitterness out. I think this coffee will have to take a dive into the garbage.

If I try a new brand, it will not be in the morning, that would just mess up my whole days taste buds.

All coffee is bitter to me, if I am ever to have coffee it is pretty much just bean water because it is so weak haha

Well, that's coffee for ya. I stopped drinking coffee in October last year, now I drink hot water with honey, lemon and ginger juice. I've gotten used to it and now I can't start my day without it.

It does seem to be beneficial @HazySue the last time I visited Carol she commented that I looked like I've lost weight, maybe I have but I don't weigh myself so I'm not really sure.

Coffee tastes great when it's not so sweet and you can still savor the strong coffee flavor.

When products like this focus on the hype and the 'other elements' and not the primary product itself, I think they tend to fail. It seems like their business is not about coffee, but about the concept of a vitamin infused product. There is a big difference between the two concepts.

Unfortunately I believe you are correct. It is too bad that it didn't live up to it's claims. I was disappointed. I probably should have expected it but, I was hoping...

There's really an individual preferences. With the advent of healthy coffee with various extracts and components like ganoderma, mangosteen, and a lot more herbal ingredients, I actually had to leave behind traditional coffee mix and switched to these new coffee formula.

I get it is an acquired taste. I still have the coffee. I may buy a coffee maker just for this coffee and see if I can acquire the taste for it. You never know.

I'm not really a coffee person and I don't really drink coffee unless it's from Starbucks. You don't have to apologise for being honest of what you think how it tastes though. Coffee drinkers would appreciate your honestly and they would love to know how it really is because it might help them decide whether to get it or not.
