The Instant Coffee Brand That Should Never Be In Your Shopping Cart
BY Martha Brennan
In a ranking of nine instant coffee brands, Tasting Table's experts put Maxwell House Original Roast at the bottom of the pile for taste, aroma, solubility, and overall appeal.
The brand proudly advertises its coffee as "full-bodied," "smooth," "delicious," and "good to the last drop," with packaging that promises a rich aroma and strong flavor profile.
Sadly, it fails to deliver what it promises. The disappointment starts as soon as you open the jar and are hit with a strong, chemical-like aroma that develops into a dull flavor.
