Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

A sweet sensation that reads as vanilla in the nose and prune in the finish is the only saving virtue.
It has a full flavor without any dark smokiness and will please many coffee fans.It can be easily amended to avoid the bitter edge that can come from a strong coffee flavor, and offers between 10 and 15 milligrams of caffeine per ounce of coffee.
This product is minimally processed. A top product in its category.

What reviewers didn't like

A blend, pre-ground and canned. Twenty-three-ounce can $5.09, or $3.54 per pound. Low-toned to the point of flatness. A hard, slightly metallic taste is the only sign of acidity. Dramatically inferior and less interesting than others that cost only sixty or seventy cents more per pound.
