Here are some journalists' comments to a taste test (although they had reheated version instead of fresh-brewed):

Elephant - Aroma
Chris: Chocolatey and nutty, like milk chocolate and hazelnut

Patrick: very different; smells like chocolate

Amy: like Chinese medicine, sweet herbal tea

Elephant - Taste
Chris: I like the smell more than the taste; very different, too sweet

Patrick: It's not coffee, it's something else, not something to enjoy; too sweet

Amy: sour like Caffe Kenon coffee; full-bodied

Smiler: Tastes like crap
