Now that it is cold outside I am in the mood for cappuccino. I was out shopping and came across the Members mark Gourmet Cappuccino in French Vanilla at Sam's Club. It was $5.50 for a three pound container. So I decided to give it a try. If you drink cappuccino you will know that it can be pretty costly. This seemed like a great deal and if it tasted good I would be thrilled. So I got it home and read the instructions to make a nice cup of French Vanilla Cappuccino. The directions say to mix three scoops of the cappuccino mix with 6 ounces of hot water or milk. It also gives the recipe for iced Cappuccino as well. Mix three scoops of the mix to 4 ounces hot water, and then pour over a cup of ice. I am not one for cold cappuccino so I prepared mine using the hot directions. I heated the milk in the microwave for one minute and then added the Members Mark French Vanilla Cappuccino mix to it. After I made sure the cappuccino was mixed well I got ready to see if I had found a good deal. I took a drink and couldn't believe how great it was. The Members Mark Cappuccino mix has just the right mix of French vanilla added to it. It has a frothy layer on top as if it had been made in a cappuccino maker. The Cappuccino had a nice creamy consistency and a wonderful fragrance. It was everything I hoped it would be when I purchased the Members Mark French vanilla Cappuccino mix. The container of Members Mark French Vanilla Cappuccino has enough in it for 71 servings, depending on how many scoops you use when making it. Each scoop counts as a serving. I use two when I make mine. That seems to be plenty strong. Each serving has 80 calories and 15 of those are from fat. It has no Trans fat and 1.5 grams of saturated fats. One serving has 16 grams of carbs and 1 gram of protein.

Ingredients include sugar, non-dairy creamer, non-fat dry milk, instant coffee, natural and artificial flavors as well as a few others. Not the best drink for someone watching their weight, but it could be worse.

Pros
1. Has a great vanilla flavor.
2. Very easy to prepare.
3. Very affordable at only $5.50 for three pounds.
4. Has a nice layer of froth on top.
5. Tastes great.
6. Can be made with milk or water.
Cons
1. Not a healthy drink.
2. Feeds my caffeine addiction.

I will definitely buy the members Mark French Vanilla Cappuccino again. I have only had it for a few weeks and already I have less then half a container. The container is plastic and has a reseal-able screw on lid. It also comes with a scoop to make measuring the cappuccino mix a breeze. If you have a Sam's Club near you make sure to pick up some of the Members Mark French Vanilla Cappuccino mix on your next visit.

    I am djw46@att.net . According to my Sam's Club in Layton, Utah Sam's has stopped carring this coffee. Why? I sure miss it. Been having to drink that overly expensive international coffee!
