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

I wasn't expecting much at 5 bucks for short of a pound, got a lighting deal. You know my Mon always said: "You get what you pay for", but that was 50 years ago and doesn't apply so much anymore, but I still look for it. Anyway this coffee is fantastic! It's smooth, fairly rich, taste is awesome, absolutely no acid aftertaste, and the buzz it perfect. Definitely use 2 tbs per 6 ounces as suggested. I just had to express my enthusiasm with a review. It's been a long time since I had a good cup of coffee. Been through so many brands. I hope they keep it going and maintain the quality. I jut got it and it made my day! Thank you.

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.

These coffee beans are always fresh and perfectly roasted. They’re also a better value than I can find in any store.

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.

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.”
