Al Ameed Gourmet Turkish Ground Coffee with Cardamom - Dark Roast, 8oz

This coffee is wonderful. The convenience of having cardamom already in the coffee is welcome. After I made my first cup in my Bialetti expresso pot, I ordered more. The coffee is smooth and rich, the cardamom makes my morning coffee a treat.

Best tasting and freshest coffee I’ve ever had . Jordanian products are always top notch premium quality.

As described! Fresh, has a strong aroma and good caffeine flavor.

DARK roast Turkish coffee is not easy to find! This is the Turkish coffee of my dreams; smooth, dark, with notes of cardamom. A small cube of raw sugar is wonderful, but not necessary;). I hope it is restocked soon!

Must love cardamom. I can give it 5 stars for quality, but in the taste category (and overall rating) I am giving it 4 stars. I know this is a preference thing, rather than a quality thing. So if you really like cardamom then go for it. I like cardamom, but this is rather strong. I taste that more than the coffee itself. If I could at least still taste the dark coffee, then I would like this a lot more. If you like strong cardamom then you will be pleased with this. If you want to try this anyway, know that the quality is quite good. I plan to add in some supplemental dark roast without cardamom to see if I can get a more balanced flavor. I never add cream or sugar to my coffee, and I find I need both to mellow out the cardamom. I love a good cup of Turkish coffee. I have learned to look for dark roast, as many of the offerings available tend to default to a light, very green tasting roast. Anytime I have had it in an restaurant, it has always been dark roast, which is my preference for coffee anyway. The darker the better. Black. No sugar. No cream. This small bag (in a box) of coffee is powdery as expected. Dark and rich smelling. I have the "with cardamom" option. Like I said.. the flavor is robust. I think I may cut in some fine ground dark coffee, or see if they offer a dark roast without it. I like it enough to finish it, but likely wont buy it again. Yet, I like the quality of the brand enough to want a non cardamom option. I prepare it as it should. I use an Ibrik over a gas burner. I am not good at making it. My foaming skill is not as good as I want, but the coffee at least tastes pretty good. I love strong, bold flavor of Turkish coffee. I never water it down. I really like that this company has so many offerings-- dark, medium, light roasts, some with cardamom, some without. I think I will try the French Roast so long as it doesnt have cardamom (or at least less of it). Otherwise will try another brand.

I got a bag of Al Ameed as part of a birthday gift for my husband, who makes himself a seperate cup of coffee every morning, preferring it to the pot of coffee I have made. (bvut, in fairness, I am typically up much earler so the coffee is not too fresh when he wakes up). I am a little extreme about coffee. I probably have a dozen coffee pots/ makers, to include plunge pots, mokka pots, espresso and drip machines, and assorted pour-over filters. I also buy the best beans I can, preferring single estate. In short, I am pretty picky about coffee. This is probably the only preground coffee I have purchased in 20 years, and I was not sure that it was the best way to go. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. I did expect it to be good, or I would not have purchased it, but it was even better than I expected. I probably should not be reviewing it, since I did not purchase it for myself, but my husband generously offered to share. The cardamom really adds something very nice. The aroma is wonderful, and the coffee is very rich, not bitter, well roasted. It is a very good, very satisfying cup of coffee. I undoubtedly will be purchasing it again.

Good

Delicious through and through. First time buyer and buying more

This is high quality coffee but not as dark as I had hoped. Also, I can buy the same type of coffee with cardamom at the local Mediterranean grocery for a quarter of the price asked here.

I love strong coffee and was given this by a friend, I was not sure if the infusion of cardamom would be my thing, it’s really good, so I’ve re purchased. Excellent service and packaging from seller. Thank you.
