Amazon Fresh Organic Fair Trade Peru Whole Bean Coffee, Medium Roast, 12 Ounce (Pack of 3)

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.

As far as Sumatra blends go, this one is USUALLY good. I have gotten a few bags that weren't as enjoyable as others but overall the taste is not 'burnt'.

I have been ordering another brand of organic coffee beans for a couple of years now, I ordered this coffee to just give it a try and I was pleasantly surprised ! I was paying $26.00 a bag and got the same size bag of this brand for $7.00! Do you know how happy that made my husband? The taste, aroma, and roast is just perfect for us!

Seems too good to be true! Great price, great flavor and organic! I do agree with the reviews about the packaging. It does not open easily and then tears a whole where the package is originally sealed which is frustrating but I still love the coffee and give it five stars! I like the dark roast Sumatra whole bean, which I use with my pour over.

But not surprisingly good either. For the price I paid ($5 and change) I am satisfied (okay, and mildly pleased as well) with my Amazon Fresh dark roast Sumatra whole bean coffee. Being organic and Fair Trade is a bonus I suppose. My just-above-mediocre review might have something to do with Sumatran coffee, which after years of unsuccessfully chasing the dragon with my first experience (blown away by strong notes of earth, leather, spice and funk), now tastes mostly of minor notes of earth, mushrooms (which is earthy in nature), and sometimes a little spice and woody notes; with everything blunted by the low acidity and heavier mouthfeel. Perhaps my palate adjusted quickly after that first try. I like it though, and I'm not hating on it; I just want to be clear that this isn't one of those secret sleeper deals that'll make you the Warren Buffet of coffee (meaning personal enrichment through wise, patient long-term investments while living frugally), or have you uploading a video on social media bragging about your wicked find. But after a few days of drinking this coffee it started to wear on me. Flavors disappearing and just a burnt bitterness remains. Not sure I will finish the bag. Definitely won't buy again. But wait: the following morning I brewed another cup (pour-over) and this time, by better monitoring my initial pouring temperature (about 196-197 degrees F in this instance, vs 198-199 F degrees yesterday) I was able to produce a better tasting cup that had me back on the , "It's really not bad, especially at this price" bandwagon. But still, I don't feel like the Warren Buffet of coffee for it.Food for thought side note: different coffees (and roasts) taste different with different brewing techniques and equipment, and at different brewing temperatures with different sources of water. How do you know your coffee is to blame for unsatisfactory results, when it could be any of the above factors not matching your coffee type or roast?

Very smooth, and not super dark. And honestly the price is right for organic coffee. We generally drink Folgers, Tim Hortons, Dunkin’ Donuts, and we are trying to go to the organic non-GMO side of things and this was our first try with organic coffee and I was actually impressed.

Id give it a hard 5 bit i only bought thos one bag so far....My taste buds and pocket needed a change.I'm not big in switching my coffee up.I'm glad I did! If you're looking for something to wake you up with a good flavor, look no further...And you save compared to those pricey coffees!

decent dark roast. great value for the money. slightly burnt flavor but acceptable. coffee creamer masks the burnt flavor.
