New Mexico Piñon Coffee Naturally Flavored Coffee (Traditional Piñon Whole Bean, 2 pound)

Gonna get a little in-depth here, bear with me.I've been a barista for nearly 6 years now. I love trying new coffees and regularly spend more than I should on it (mostly single-origins — have to shout out Dillanos real quick). Honestly, I can't be bothered to go all out on prep when I'm at home, so I just stick to a standard drip machine. I don't mind drinking it black, but I usually add a little half & half. No sugar. Okay. That said...I wish I could give this 4.5 stars, because it's *almost* excellent. Right out of the bag, the smell was amazing. I used three level tablespoons for 10 ounces of water. No issues with the strength being too much or too little, though of course I recommend adjusting it to your personal taste.Initial impression was that it definitely tastes like a flavored coffee. Not, like, the natural tasting notes you'd usually identify in a roast — it definitely tastes like something was added to achieve the flavor. HOWEVER, in this case, it's not necessarily a bad thing. It tastes pretty good overall.It has a bit of a sweetness to it. It's not overwhelming, but it was a little sweeter than I would personally prefer. The flavor is as described — sort of nutty. It's a weirdly familiar flavor that I still haven't been able to put my finger on.My wife, who is slightly less discerning about her coffee, really enjoyed it.Overall, I think it was worth the purchase even just to give it a try. It's definitely unique. I can't see this becoming my daily coffee, but I'll probably keep it in rotation. It's a pretty good value for the quantity, which is a nice bonus.Update: The price has gone up a bit since I wrote this review, which kinda sucks, but everything's pricier these days, so I guess I'm not shocked. I'm not back to complain about that though. I'm here to give it that final star I initially withheld. It's honestly really grown on me. Nothing more to say. Give it a try!

This is really good anytime coffee for all occasions breakfast or after dinner

My favorite coffee on earth. I thought I lost access to it when I moved out of NM, and am so happy to discover I can order it. Bless y'all and your beans

This New Mexico dark coffee is the only brand and strength that will drink. Excellent!

Good coffee! I got it as a gift and now it’s the only coffee I drink!

This is our favorite coffee... will order it everytime

I never had this type of coffee before so I was intrigued. Opening the bag it smells like chocolate covered coffee beans. Quite smooth but not the slight bitter kick I like in my coffee. I'm happy with my purchase but probably won't buy again.

My favorite coffee never dissapoints.
