Finding an instant coffee is not difficult at all. There are all kinds of different instant coffees on the market today. There are probably just as many flavored instant coffees as there are regular coffees. Finding one that tastes as good as it claims, well that's not as easy.

I'm not a big fan of instant coffee. I do like the different kinds of coffee mixes, but a true straight coffee in an instant blend is not something I would normally choose to drink. Generally I prefer my coffee freshly brewed in a drip maker or a percolator the old fashioned way. Rarely do I find an instant coffee that I just really enjoy and it's even more rare to find a flavored one.

Cool Brew has done it. Cool Brew has an instant vanilla that I really enjoy drinking. I don't know about other people but a really good vanilla coffee makes me sleepy, even if it's not a decaf coffee. If I'm drinking vanilla coffee, I prefer it to be before bedtime. I didn't really expect the Cool Brew to deliver and I was very pleasantly surprised when it did.

The vanilla in the Cool Brew is an excellent blend. It's not overpowering but not so understated that you miss it. For an instant, that's pretty surprising in my opinion. I honestly think it has to do with the fact that the Cool Brew is a liquid instant that you store in the fridge. It's a concentrated liquid coffee that you had boiling water to.

How they created such a great product, I just don't know. All I know is that it's really good!
