Best coffee in the world!!!!  On the Cafe Du Monde website, the Vice President of the company is on a youtube video.  He says that you have to acquire a taste for it but once you do, you will love it.  After my first cup, I loved it.  Fabulous coffee and I do drink it as suggested with cream and sugar.  Actually, I use a coffee creamer.  I love the deep rich robust taste and will always love it alone or with beignets.  Mardi Gras is around the corner so time for me to make Cafe Du Monde coffee and beignets.
