CAFE Olé Taste of San Antonio Medium Roast Ground Coffee — OKAY

Munch or Dump rates CAFE Olé Taste of San Antonio Medium Roast Ground Coffee by CAFE Olé by H-E-B OKAY — score 58/90.

The whole-bean version of H-E-B's cult San Antonio blend, made from 100% arabica beans and essentially calorie-free brewed black. Like the ground version, it carries added natural and artificial flavors, so it is a flavored house coffee rather than a pure single-origin. Grinding your own beans is nice, but the added flavoring is still in the bag.

Why this verdict

• Brewed black it is essentially calorie-free and clean
• Made from 100% arabica beans
