Nice mix of coffees for the days you want something "different".

If you're a fan of darker roasts, there's not much to dislike about "Blanc et Noir" from Melitta -- not much that I could detect, anyway. On the other hand, there wasn't a lot to set it apart from other similarly-priced dark roasts on the market. It is a perfectly serviceable coffee I was happy to have in my rotation for a week or two. But it won't displace, say, the coffee I brought back from a recent Hawaii vacation as my weekends-and-special-occasions choice, nor did it evoke all the memories … more

This is one of the best coffees I've had. It's smooth, rich, and full-bodied. You can brew it up very strong without bitterness or any unpleasant aftertaste. It takes cream and sugar well, but those of us who like our coffee black will enjoy the flavor.   It's very finely ground, and quite delicious.

This coffee really surprised me. It was flavorful and very smooth. There was no bitterness to it (something that I really dislike in coffee).    I used just a little more with this than my usual scoop amounts.     We usually drink some version of Costco's Starbucks brew or Dunkin' Donuts.    I liked the Melitta Blanc et Noir better than anything else we've had in years.    It is already ground, fairly fine too but it brewed well in our cone filter coffee maker.

My usual coffee is a dark French roast from New England Coffee Co; I buy it ground, make it a bit strong and use it up before it loses its freshness. Like anyone else who appreciates coffee, I don't want any bitter or burned taste in my brew.    This Blanc et Noir ground coffee from Melitta is a blend of light and dark roasts, so I thought it might taste bland. I was pleasantly surprised that it has such a good flavor, though I did need to make it stronger than the package directions … more

Now it's possible to have coffee shop flavor at home. Melitta Blanc et Noir is full of enticing aroma and smooth, rich flavor. We've been grinding beans at home up till now, but this ground coffee product is the first we've tried that is satisfying in every way, and doesn't turn bitter with time after the package is opened. Highly recommended.

I love Melitta products. Even use the now almost antique ceramic coffee cone to brew cups individually (they're better brewed that way). I also admit to being a coffee snob and someone who is qualified to judge the flavor and worth of a brewed cup of "the nectar of the gods." So I was hopeful that the Blanc et Noir would score higher than the Creme Brulee which I recently reviewed..    While better than the Creme Brulee, I felt the Blanc et Noir lacked the full-bodied flavor … more
