Here I am again with another unusual beverage… 
I’ll be very surprised if anyone here has tasted this durian coffee… 
Durian fruit itself is probably something that many would avoid having because of its strong odor. I have tasted fresh durian before, and I could tolerate the smell for the taste of its sweet and luscious meat. But to have the fruit as a flavor for coffee is just a strange concept to me. Still, there must be some out there who like the idea. Apparently this durian coffee is a well sought-after item in some places...

Whatever people crave or they're use to, that's what appeals to them. For many it's chocolate or vanilla flavoring in coffee, which I don't care for.

@much2say It's product of Indonesia... I made my husband finish half of the mug and he didn't like it either... So I don't know what we will do with the rest of the box... Good thing it's a small box containing only 5 sachets... We will try to find anyone who might be willing to try it...

You summed up my thoughts precisely - who, in their right mind, would want coffee so pungently flavoured as to taste, and undoubtedly smell, of the Durian fruit?
I have never encountered Durian, but have heard it described by Malaysian friends years ago - a delightful taste and texture, if you can bear the stench, apparently.
Mind you, I have been known to hold my nose long enough to savour the taste of a particularly ripe Limburger or Munster cheese, and they smell particularly foul too, so who am I to cast the first stone?

@kobesbuddy No worries... It may not be too clear, but they look like what's pictured in that box... Prickly on the outside...

My colleague travelled Malaysia before and she bought some durian flavored coffee there. This is why I drank it before. It is a surprise for me because I accept it. It tastes nice in my opinion. Probably it tastes better than mixing it with Cola?

Luckily I don't like coffee & durian + coffee, that sure sounds like one unique combination that I wouldn't want to try lol! =P

Wow, I know durian cake and durian flavored ice cream...but coffee? 
I like the durian fruit itself but not sure if I can tolerate the taste in my coffee.

Durian is my all-time favorite fruit, regardless of the odor and spiky exterior. If I saw the coffee, I might try it just out of curiosity.

@1hopefulman Sometimes I can find fresh ones down here... Perhaps because we are closer to the countries that export them... But yes, very expensive...

Wow! that is something really strange. I'm very curious of the taste already. I wish I could find something like that here too. I don't like the durian fruit that much but to put it in coffee? That's really interesting.
