Amazon Fresh, Dark Roast, Whole Bean Coffee, 32 Oz

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I have a Breville Touch and this coffee always comes out perfect. I saw another reviewer saying that is not good on a Breville, but don’t let that stop you. I have been buying this coffee for a long time and it’s the best if you like dark roast coffee and understand that espresso makers need to be dialed in every time you get a bag of fresh beans duh! Espresso 101. The taste is rich and bold. It is always fresh and the price is on point as you get a good amount. I just came back to get another bag and it’s not available so it is a sad day.

For the price, this is an excellent coffee. I was fearful when I opened the bag that the beans would not be oily and glistening, but they were. I’ve been bounced around by Amazon from Hills Brothers to 8 o’clock coffee all dark roast which I prefer and I decided to try this product and for the money it’s a **** good Coffee I would highly recommend this to anybody. But now it’s unavailable from Amazon. This is BS. This was the best dark roast for the price hands done. Now I have been through 4 other dark roast coffees that do not compare. I’m buying another Amazon brand dark roast it’s good but it’s more money per oz. I hate to see this one not being replaced.

I was prepared to not like Amazon coffee beans. I've been a fan of Brooklyn coffee company, which is excellent. I've tried others just to shore up my decisions about coffee beans. Late one night, enjoying our final coffee and browsing Amazon, who reminded me to reorder coffee beans I came across the Amazon brand and in a moment of weakness ordered "go for the bold "dark roast 2 pounds Amazon Fresh coffee beans. They arrived and with trepidation about my late night purchase, I did not open and grind them immediately I waited 48 hours). Imagine my surprise when I grinder some beans,put coffee into my stainless steel Bodum French press,Poured hot water from the Frizzlife water filter/heater, let it sit for four or five minutes and then poured it into my Portmerion 7 ounce cup. There was the crema, sitting nicely on top. At the first sip, I was converted. Amazon, which is truly named, has never treated me badly since I joined in 2003, in Ireland. this coffee tops it all. Buy it, it is neither sharp, nor flat. There are no fancy words to needed describe it, as the habit, transferred from describing wines. Why must we add such verbal modifiers as chocolatey or peppery or strawberryee ( you know the drill). It is a good cup of coffee and provides the best way to wake up in the morning to drink or as a last cup at midnight. It is a good sound, easy to drink coffee. Thank you, Amazon, Dr. Lucille.

Pleasantly surprised with this whole bean dark roast. With the price of coffee going up, this was a good value for a superior brew. It is rich, smooth and I love waking to the smell in the morning.

First, let me st the stage by saying I love strong coffee, especially a GOOD dark roast. But I absolutely HATE that burnt-dirt tasting crap that the Stargarbage folks sell. So if you actually like their coffee, you probably don't want to read my review - my tastes ain't for you. Now the good news is that this dark roast coffee is really quite good - it does not taste like burnt dirt at all. But the bad news is that the consistency is not too good. The first bag was decent, but the beans were a bit dry and had no oily sheen on them at all. The flavor was decent, but not great. Now the second bag is totally different. These beans are very dark and oily, and the taste is really good. On a possibly related note, the bags were very easy to pull open, leading me to believe that the seal may not have been very good. So I will try at least one more order of this good coffee, but I cannot fully recommend it due to the variations I have seen.
