Community Coffee 100% Colombia 72 Ounce, Medium Dark Roast Ground Coffee, 12 Ounce (Pack of 6)

For reference, I'm a bit of what some people would call a "coffee snob." I have an SCA-certified coffee maker (more on that in a moment), V60, and Moka pot. I use a hand grinder to grind my whole beans, and I generally weigh my coffee when brewing. However, while I enjoy a nice cup of Ethiopian beans in the afternoon, I am less particular about my coffee in the morning and just prefer something that tastes decent and is very cheap. I have been buying Maxwell House from BJ's because it was the cheapest I could find in stores, but when I saw Amazon had this Community Coffee for an even cheaper price, I just had to give it a try.The Breakfast Blend hits the mark perfectly for me, and I can see why it's popular in the south. When using cream only (which I only do for medium nutty roasts like this one), I can definitely detect the notes of honey and hazelnut, though it is a bit muted. That could admittedly be due to the creamer, but it also could be a result of an older roast date (date is not provided on the packaging). The best way to describe the flavor is that it's like diner coffee, similar to what you'd get at something like a Denny's. It is not bitter and does have a smooth taste with cream.For brewing in an autodrip machine, I made this with my GE Cafe Specialty Drip brewer which I love because it's one of the few machines out there that lets you select the brew temperature. As a sidenote, the retail price is very expensive, but you can often find it from the Amazon Renewed store for very cheap prices. I typically brew at 8g/4.5 oz cup and 195 degrees F for medium roast coffees like Maxwell House since I find the SCA setting (200 degrees F) to be better suited for light roast coffee like my Ethiopian beans. For this coffee though, I decided to try the SCA setting since the grinds seemed a bit lighter roasted than your typical cheap medium roast. The SCA setting is absolutely perfect for this coffee, so if your machine allows you to set the brew temperature, I would definitely recommend brewing at 200 F. I have not tried brewing this in the V60 yet, but I would assume the same temperature would apply.In conclusion, I'd definitely recommend this coffee if you're looking for a cheap morning brew that is smooth and not too bitter. I will definitely be buying again!

Better deal than CC’s website. Great deal. When you’re from LA and you can’t get this coffee locally then Amazon is the way to go. Taste of Home

If you are a fan of dark, rich coffee, and have never had coffee and chicory, you need to try this. It is strong and very smooth. If you like coffee with cream and sugar try this with a little condensed milk instead of cream and sugar. You won't be disappointed. If you have an espresso machine, even better.

This is our favourite coffee and we drink it every day. The brew is dark (perhaps darker than you're used to seeing) but is smooth, not bitter.

I bought this thinking it was whole bean coffee (not ground) but not going to return it, as it is still a great deal. I go through a lot of coffee a day, so always looking for decent, not bitter, and economically sized bags. Community fits the bill!

Great price
