Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

To all the people giving 1 star reviews, saying this doesn't dissolve in hot liquids. Read the product description, its not supposed to dissolve ! It would have to be a liquid extract and then dried and ground up to a powder, then you would be able to dissolve it. Instead, this is the whole bean ground up to provide the full complex aroma, flavonoids, anti-oxidants etc. I like to add it to my very strong espresso. I use an aeropress, add two scoops of finely ground espresso roast, add 1/4 tsp of this vanilla powder, add hot water, stir and the press it. The flavor and aroma is just intoxicating. It is expensive, but you get what you pay for. If all you want is an overpowering artificial vanillin smell, then don't buy this. Its like the real Ceylon cinnamon vs the common cheap cassia cinnamon. So much more expensive, subtle but complex heavenly aroma.
