"Not only did this flavor combination sound like a match made in heaven, but it teased us with an enticing scent as it brewed from the machine, like fresh-baked cookies coming out of the oven. Upon the first sip, we could tell that this pod was just that -- a tease. The taste was bitter and artificial, almost chemical-like, and barely resembled an actual coffee at all."
"It was almost like the "honey" flavor promised on the box was created by someone who'd never tasted real honey a day in their life. We tried to power through more than a few sips, but the sensation was so disarming that the entire mug ended up down the drain before it could say "wait!" Great Value coffee pods are hit or miss, but honey almond is certainly a miss"
The convenience of single-serve machines like Nespresso and Keurig has expanded home coffee options across many brands and private labels. Seventeen Great Value coffee pods were tested and ranked based on flavor, and the honey almond flavor placed last. The pod emitted an enticing, fresh-baked cookies-like scent while brewing, but the taste proved bitter, artificial, and chemical-like, barely resembling real coffee or honey, leading testers to discard cups. Walmart labels the flavor as a light honey with almond notes made from medium roast Arabica beans. Walmart's private-label coffee sources sustainable beans from multiple countries and holds Fair Trade and Rainforest Alliance certifications.
