CDM Ground Coffee & Chicory Automatic Drip 13oz Bag (Pack of 4)

In this review readers will find whether CDM Ground Coffee & Chicory is worth trying for those who like bold, traditional New Orleans style coffee. The bottom line: this 13oz bag in a pack of four is best for drinkers who want a smooth yet robust automatic drip brew with roasted chicory notes; the strongest reason to buy is its consistent, cafe au lait-ready flavor that blends well with milk or cream and holds up iced on warmer days.

Key Features

• Bold, robust blend: The coffee is roasted to a medium-dark level that delivers a full-bodied base ideal for those who prefer a strong cup without pronounced bitterness.
• Chicory blended for tradition: Roasted chicory is combined with coffee to create the classic New Orleans-style flavor with slight sweetness and caramel-like undertones.
• Automatic drip friendly: Ground and prepared for automatic drip machines so it brews consistently without extra preparation.
• Cafe au lait ready: The blend mixes smoothly with hot milk at a 1/2 cup coffee to 1/2 cup milk ratio to recreate the traditional cafe-style drink at home.
• Versatile for hot or iced: The depth of flavor holds up well when cooled and poured over ice, making it suitable for warm-weather iced coffee.

Who It's For

This product is aimed at coffee drinkers who enjoy a pronounced, full-bodied cup and appreciate the historic New Orleans chicory tradition. It is a good fit for those who add milk or cream to their coffee, since the blend was noted for pairing well with sweetened creamer and producing a smooth texture.

Those who prefer light, delicate single-origin brews or very mild roasts might look elsewhere; similarly, consumers seeking decaffeinated or specialty espresso ground options should consider other products because this is a medium-dark, caffeinated automatic drip ground with chicory.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Robust, well-rounded flavor that customers describe as rich and almost chocolatey.
• Smooth texture and dark color that blends well with milk or creamer for cafe au lait.
• Works equally well hot or as iced coffee, retaining its strength when cooled.

Cons

• The pronounced chicory and dark roast character may be too strong for drinkers who prefer light or subtle coffee flavors.
