Which Should You Buy?
Café Cabanel isn't the coffee bomb its name suggests, but it's a divisive gourmand that swings from 'creamy masterpiece' to 'synthetic horror'. It's refined and luxurious for many, but some find it too spicy or artificial, leaning into grandma territory for the uninitiated.
This is a seriously sweet, creamy coffee hit with impressive longevity, but it's not a crowd-pleaser. Some love the almost bitter, boozy edge, others want a more straightforward, comforting gourmand. Definitely a niche pick, not for everyone.
