Amazon Fresh Organic Fair Trade Sumatra Whole Bean Coffee, Dark Roast, 12 OunceUSDA OrganicFair Trade CertifiedFair Trade CertifiedFair Trade Certified

If you enjoy strong, black coffee and have not tried Sumatran coffee, you should. The Amazon brand is a real bargain, much less expensive than the name brands and just as good. Sumatran coffee is dark, strong, and smooth. It has a very straightforward flavor profile that just tastes great. I think of it as the Rolls Royce of coffee, but that's just my opinion of course. To fully enjoy this great coffee, I would encourage you to invest in a good coffee pot and grinder, as well as a digital scale (to weigh exact portions of whole beans to consistently get just the flavor you want), some sort of a water filter, and an airtight cannister. I use a 5 cup Bonavita coffee maker, a Tuni grinder (set to 16), Zero water filter, an Inevifit digital scale(at 20 grams of coffee beans for 16 oz of water), and an Airscape medium canister (which will hold the entire 12 oz bag of the Sumatran beans). I also use a permanent mesh filter. Paper filters soak up the some of the oils that are in the coffee. Some people prefer that taste, but I do not. I realize that the initial cost outlay is a bit pricey for all of this. However, if you enjoy coffee and drink it every day like I do, it's absolutely worth every penny. You will be amazed at how much better your coffee will taste with the proper equipment and a little effort.

Flavor was okay given the relatively low price. Make it stronger than normal. Key to all coffee: Buy whole beans and grind it fresh and fine before every pot. The date it was roasted was not provided. Just the expiration date. The package was lacking. Typical packaging technology but you need to use scissors and cut below the glued on wire used for closing the bag. I'd recommend a tupperware type container for storage of the beans after opening the package.

Pretty good decaf coffee here! I try all kinds of whole bean decaf for hot and cold brew and this brand is pretty tasty! I like making cold brew especially with it. Homemade cold brew made from freshly ground beans blows anything in the stores away. Not even close, AND, it’s significantly cheaper. Considering that coffee is about to become very expensive, making coffee at home is the way to go. I wouldn’t be surprised to see $10 cups of coffee soon if they don’t already exist somewhere…….sheesh!

This coffee is the only coffee I've ever drank that I actually enjoy black. It has a perfect taste. Doesn't really give you that coffee mouth that so many others do. I used to strictly have to drink coffee with cream and sugar. Now that I'm using this brand, I've been able to cut my sugar intake dramatically. The pounds just come off...I really like the fact that this is organic, and it's very reasonably priced. I've been subscribed to this for many months now. Very happy with this coffee. I don't think you'll be disappointed if you try this. Well worth it. Enjoy!

The beans taste great. I've been making espresso! However, the beans themselves were supposed to be whole and these ones are.... Smashed? Some are whole, but more than half of them have been crushed. It depleates the therapeutic experience of making coffee

Great coffee beans and price

Updated 3/23/2018: This is now offered on subscribe & save, and now my life is complete 😍I looooove this coffee! I just started drinking coffee a couple months ago and became very picking, very quickly. I will preface this with the fact that I do not drink hot coffee because no matter what, it always tastes bitter to me. I ice my coffee until it's colder than Indiana in January (ugh), sugar before the ice, and a splash of milk to make it look like it'll stain my teeth a little less than drinking it black. I got a really great deal on a Keurig that sat on my counter for about six months before I bought a sample pack of coffee shop k-cups from the store. I really liked the coffee shop coffee, but wanted to try different k-cups to see what I liked the best. After going through a package of 36 and feeling horrible about throwing all that plastic in the trash (I'm an avid recycler, so it killed me a little inside), I decided on a stainless steel reusable k-cup (thanks, Amazon!) and wanted to grind my own beans. Before my coffee grinder and k-cup filters arrived (thanks, Amazon!), I was off to the store to get myself some Starbucks mocha something-or-another. It tasted like chocolate, but it was too much. I liked the hint of chocolate that I got from the coffee shop coffee I had tried first, but this starbucks nastiness tasted very fake. So, I was on a mission to find the best coffee that had notes of chocolate, and a coffee that wasn't bitter. I found Kicking Horse Smart Ass coffee beans (medium roast) and was IN LOOOOOOVE. Oh my good gravy, it was good. The price tag was not good. I went through a bag of beans in 11 days and had to order more. In the grand scheme of things, it's not THAT expensive, but I couldn't justify buying it as frequently as I was. I tried a couple other coffees from Amazon that were just okay, and then found this Amazon Fresh Peru Coffee. Life just got so much better. I swear this is the same exact stuff. The flavor is the exact same, it's fair trade and organic, just like Kicking Horse, and the price is unbeatable! The only thing that would make it better is if was offered on subscribe and save!! I'd buy it every month and wouldn't even feel bad about it.
