Amazon Fresh, Colombia Whole Bean Coffee Medium Roast, 907.2 g

These beans are really, really great. The coffee is flavorful and brews well. I decided to try whole bean coffee because the ground coffee at the store has been not great these last few months. It's been bitter and awful, and the prices kept going up and up. I decided to try whole bean and bought a grinder here too for less than twenty bucks. I am so glad I did this, because grinding the beans as I need them in the morning has produced such a flavorful coffee, and I find myself using less sugar. I will definitely buy this brand of coffee beans again. Delicious and priced right.

This coffee is packaged with very well and the beans have a really good smell. I love the smooth taste with no bitterness. I tried this for the first time from just reading the reviews. I normally drink another brand that I'm very pleased with, but this was so much more affordable I thought I would try it. I just have to continue to adjust the water cofee ratio. I'm glad I tried Amazon's brand and will try a few of their other blends of coffee beans. Im very pleased with the savings and taste of the coffee.

I bought a grind and brew coffee maker and started brewing a lot of coffee and acquiring various beans. I started with Amazon Columbian because of the really affordable price. But since have purchased a bunch of more exotic beans from far away places like Ethiopia, Brazil, Bolivia for a much higher price. I just brewed another pot of Amazon Columbian and it is better than most of the fancy stuff. I recommend this coffee highly. Don’t think you will be disappointed!

Amazon Fresh Just Bright Whole Bean Coffee cured me of a certain kind of coffee snobbery. I’ve subscribed to the usual high-end names—Intelligentsia, Stumptown, and plenty of others—and somewhere along the way I grew tired of the ritual. Too many beans arrived over-roasted, oily, expensive, and oddly joyless. Just Bright is not that. It is light, clean, low-acid, and easy to drink every day. The flavor is subtle without being thin, smooth without being dull, and mercifully free of that scorched, boutique-coffee heaviness. At some point, good coffee should simply be good coffee. This is. Get the coffee-snob monkey off your back and drink the good beans from Amazon.

TLDR: this is not a light roast. Not even close. It’s a medium roast. Depending on your brewing methods, it’s a decent cup of coffee and you get what you paid for (for the beans). There is ZERO mention of a “roast by” date. Only an expiration date. Who is this for: for your average Joe coffee drinker who’s looking for a better cup than your instant foldgers instant coffee. Who it’s NOT for: if you have ANY sort of workflow in your coffee routine, this coffee is not for you. If you don’t know what the word “workflow” refers to, this doesn’t apply to you. If you use scale to dose your beans, this coffee bean isn’t for you. Taste: everyone’s pallet is going to be different. Not to mention everyone’s brewing method is different. I have dialed this to the best of its ability/taste. 16g dose. Spritz with RO water. Grind with my timemore C3S max (this bean does not deserve my Z1 K ultra), preheat/pre wet my Acaba cafec v60 paper filter, hario v60 glass pour over. 60g water, 60sec bloom. thereafter 60g water every 35sec until 240g is reached. RO Water at 94c Full drain in 3:00min. I won’t talk about notes because this will make no sense to non-enthusiast. But I will say the coffee does have a decently clean taste, not harsh notes, and is relatively smooth. I bought this to try because I am an Amazon-all-things customer (I am also a Costco-all-things customer). Unfortunately, these beans just don’t meet my needs. Obviously I am not expecting a 32oz bag of whole beans for $10 (what I paid) to complete against a specialty bean that’s $25 for 12oz. However, I am docking 1 star because the description of “light roast” is incorrect. /edit 3-1-26. I am on my second bag. This overall profile has grown on me. This is a fantastic “medium roast.” Where is shines is its economical cost. It is easily a daily driver if you don’t want to be spending $$$ per month on beams. I still think this is a clean tasting blend that isn’t offensive in any way. I “would” definitely give it 5 stars if not for the fact they labeled it a “light roast.”
