VOLCANICA COFFEE COMPANY Guatemala Antigua Coffee, Reserve, Dark Roast, Whole Bean, Fresh Roasted, 16-ounce

Great value fresh, roast and color excellent not to acidic. We will buy this all the time. Great coffee.

Love this coffee amazing flavor!!

Not the best/ worst choice for espresso

I found this to be a very good alternative to 100% Kona coffee. Not quite as good but has all of the rich, eathyness I enjoy in a cup of coffee.

Rich flavor, addictive. Highly recommended. Lots of nuance.

My son traveled to Guatemala this summer and brought back some roasted whole beans from a farm he visited. They were wonderful so I decided to try and find something similar on Amazon. This company and product are highly rated so I gave them a try. When the product arrived, I could smell the beans as I carried the mailing envelope (no box?) up to my house from the mailbox. Apparently there's an air leak in the seal that perhaps is intentional to allow pressure to be released in transit. While holding the envelope under my arm I guess it was squeezing out the air in the bag. Once inside I just had to try some. The beans themselves were very dark and quite oily. And they did smell wonderful. I prepared a medium grind drip maker pot of seven cups (my usual morning routine) and prepared to enjoy. As the coffee was brewing, I noticed I didn't really smell much, which struck me as odd given how strong it smelled in the bag. Then I had some. A small sip and my first impression was "wow, this is extremely bitter!" I rinsed with cold water and tried a normal cup: with lots of low-fat milk. I was disappointed at the lack of any nutty or other aromatic notes. It was just really bitter. Before I could finish the first cup, I became nauseated. Sadly, I dumped the pot, took an antacid, and drank a glass of water. Mind you, I had just eaten before this experiemnt. Normally I would try again, but this was such a bad experience, I can't justify a repeat. Needless to say, I can't recommend this coffee. The packaging is beautiful, the stated product philosophy is perfect, the beans smelled and looked great, but none of that matters if the coffee tastes bad and makes you sick. I like strong dark roast coffee and I never get sick from it so this is all on the product. I suppose it is possible something was wrong with the bag I bought but I am inclined to think not.

This coffee is rich, flavorful, smooth, and delicious without any bite or acidity! It is so good that it does not need any cream or sugar. When the beans are ground, they emit a rich aroma that fills the kitchen. This coffee is the best I have had!!!

This is literally the best coffee I’ve ever consumed. It’s Smokey, dark roast, and rich but so smooth. I look forward to drinking this for the rest of my life. So happy my son found this amazing coffee for me.
