High caffeine content
Do you wish you could get an extra jolt of caffeine in the morning without the taste of coffee? This may be for you. The coffee is pre ground perfectly for an espresso machine. It pulls very smooth.It doesn’t really taste like coffee. It’s more nutty.

Better than normal coffee & White teeth friendly!!!!!
UPDATED REVIEW 11/20/24:I don’t know WHAT HAPPENED with the quality but my last 2 orders have been downright disgusting! I don’t even know what other flavor to describe other than beyond STALE!!! The color is darker too! I think there is either FILLER in this OR they are sneaking in regular roasted coffee. It is just god-awful now and hardly palatable without milk and vanilla creamer - before I could drink it straight if I was in a hurry. Now it’s really bad and I can’t hold out hope & take another risk buying this brand again. It makes me sick to drink and tastes very OFF from how it did literally every time until these last few orders. This used to smell faintly like peanut butter, now it has an entirely new scent to it that mirrors its new flavor. I’m very unhappy and won’t be buying this coffee again. I’m trying Gravity grounds white coffee next time because this brand has done a complete 180!!!!Original review 4/7/2024:I’m a black coffee drinker and ex smoker. The years of smoking and savoring hot black coffee in my mouth (about 6 cups a day) had utterly destroyed my teeth into a deep yellow. Went to the dentist and got them whitened back to a bright white but was told to stop drinking black coffee, colorful spices, and bright foods/dark berries otherwise I will stain my teeth back. Well, I didn’t listen and stained my teeth… was able to have them rewhitened but now they are even MORE susceptible to being stained, so I began the quest to find a coffee that would not stain my teeth, gives me energy and most importantly, keeps my bowels regular (IYKYK!!!) but does such product EXIST? Enter WHITE TORNADO COFFEE!!I took the plunge for $15 and bought a pound. The reviews on white coffee among all vendors was mixed, but this particular brand Poverty Bay had the most positive ones. I was desperate for a good experience - I Need Coffee. Everyone said to use a French press to make this coffee. I LOVE and PREFER French press coffee over all other preparation methods, so I brought my coffee to work and took out my trusty press.Upon opening this coffee package, it smelled delightful. RICH and nutty, peanutty. Not hazelnutty, I hate hazelnut coffee with a passion and I’m delighted to report that this bore no resemblance in smell nor flavor. It honestly smelled like 90% Reese’s peanut butter cups, 10% coffee…yum??!! I put three heaping spoonfuls in my French press with about 20oz of hot water from my office’s hot water machine. My expectations were bleak as I watched what looked 100% like crushed peanuts leaching their sandy dark golden color and oils into the clear hot water.The final product was very translucent but not clear, and very light colored - I spilled some decanting it from my French press into a cup, when I wiped it up with a white napkin there was no staining. Because I can’t drink hot beverages anymore (because they stain your teeth…. SIGH) I made an iced “coffee”. In my cup I poured in 4 vanilla coffee mate liquid creamers over ice, then topped my cup off with this freshly pressed concoction and stirred - see photo for before and after. The result… WOW. This stuff is delicious!!!!It doesn’t take like regular coffee, but a more delicate, less pungent, nuttier & lighter coffee. Like a very Light roast.. without the roast, and without any acid. If you’re new to white coffee like I am, especially if you’re a black coffee drinker - adjust the bar for your expectations, hopes, and dreams for this product to Low, when I say LOW, I mean set bar in hell. It would say this resembled a black tea with milk kind of experience, but without that disgusting tea-bitter astringency, just smooth and rich light coffee with nutty flavors - mixed with vanilla flavor, it was just divine. I chugged it. It was so good that I promptly made another one with the remaining half to savor it at a slower pace. So how’s the caffeine and….. other benefits?!Let me assure you that this has caffeine, but I swear to God, it’s an elevated type of caffeination - I felt it kick my behind into gear and wake me up, but it did so without that little *dash* of anxiety & panic I’ve grown accustomed to for that extra push in productivity. But with this coffee I’m calm and energized. About 20 minutes after drinking it I felt like I had to use the bathroom, thank God!!! Final thoughts. I’m looking forward to drinking this everyday instead of the regular black coffee that had destroyed my teeth, when I made this coffee it turned practically white with the addition of creamer and it didn’t stain my teeth at all (which would have shown immediately) this is a win and I would highly recommend it. I prefer this over coffee now!!!

Use a french press!
I've had white coffees before, and this is a decent variety. It tastes nutty and less acidic than regular coffee, and it goes well with creamy/caramel/nutty things if you want to make more than just a simple drink. (Try it with amaretto liqueur, it's pretty great) The only downside is that it doesn't brew well in a conventional drip coffee maker - it will taste watered down, slightly more bitter and mine turned GREEN after a while and just wasn't appetizing to me after that.... but if I use my french press all is right and good in the world of white coffee.

I'm sure someone's cup of tea, err coffee, not mine
Taste is not bag of tricks. For a person who drinks lots of coffee and espresso, this is not for me.

Absolutely Delicious alternative to espresso.
I really don't understand some of these reviews, they seem really silly to me. If you buy this product looking to replace your normal mug of dark roasted coffee, of course you are going to be disappointed. This is a product that you would use to replace espresso, not regular ground coffee. It would be like ordering ground espresso and trying to brew a pot of coffee with it and wondering why it doesn't taste good. All of that being said, white coffee is a wonderful option for those who experience things like jitters, stomach cramps or headaches from normal dark roast espresso or regular brew coffee. The low acidity and lighter roast are a wonderful deviation from the norm, it brews thinner and more like a tea than coffee, and the mild, nutty flavor lends itself very well to creamers and sweet drinks. My personal favorite is making breves with salted caramel syrup. It tastes exactly like a maple bar! I certainly wouldnt recommend drinking it straight, just like you wouldn't fill a mug with straight espresso(at least you wouldnt if you don't hate your poor tastebuds). Poverty Bay is also a great small business, I've never had any issues with their turnaround times, shipping or anything. If you are looking for a tasty alternative because espresso hurts your tummy, I definitely recommend you give white coffee a shot. But again, if you go into this expecting it to taste like regular old coffee, you are going to be disappointed. Always read the reviews of products prior to buying! One other small note, because of the density of the grounds, they absorb more water than regular coffee and will expand, so it is very very important that you empty your press or whatever you use immediately after brewing. Poverty Bay in conjunction with my wonderful Aeropress and Keurig have saved me hundreds by preventing the need for morning coffee runs to Dutch Bros(only chain that carries white coffee). Great for my wallet and my stomach!
