Organic Fair Trade Peru Whole Bean Coffee, Medium Roast, 12 Oz

If you enjoy a standard cup of black coffee (which is surprisingly hard to find) but don't wanna break the bank - the Peruvian beans are perfect. Not too acidic, or overroasted (burnt). My husband and I can agree on these medium roast beans (he generally likes light roasts and I like darker roasts). I'm super sensitive to caffeine and this will get you the right amount of coffee wake up without keeping you strung out all night. As with all coffee beans, your grinder/coffee maker matters. We have a Jura (best coffee manufacturer in my opinion) so the beans can be properly appreciated. Not weak coffee like kpods brew and even better that it's organic (avoid lots of gross pesticides etc)! Have ordered multiple bags over the years and will continue to order more. Worth their low cost price.

Very nice coffee for the price. Tastes similar to my normal blend (not SBucks). Would recommend for anyone looking for a dark roast. I grind it very fine almost to a powder form. Tastes great.

It is Okay, but not as tasty as other vendor. Of course, the price is on the low end as well.

If you enjoy strong, black coffee and have not tried Sumatran coffee, you should. The Amazon brand is a real bargain, much less expensive than the name brands and just as good. Sumatran coffee is dark, strong, and smooth. It has a very straightforward flavor profile that just tastes great. I think of it as the Rolls Royce of coffee, but that's just my opinion of course. To fully enjoy this great coffee, I would encourage you to invest in a good coffee pot and grinder, as well as a digital scale (to weigh exact portions of whole beans to consistently get just the flavor you want), some sort of a water filter, and an airtight cannister. I use a 5 cup Bonavita coffee maker, a Tuni grinder (set to 16), Zero water filter, an Inevifit digital scale(at 20 grams of coffee beans for 16 oz of water), and an Airscape medium canister (which will hold the entire 12 oz bag of the Sumatran beans). I also use a permanent mesh filter. Paper filters soak up the some of the oils that are in the coffee. Some people prefer that taste, but I do not. I realize that the initial cost outlay is a bit pricey for all of this. However, if you enjoy coffee and drink it every day like I do, it's absolutely worth every penny. You will be amazed at how much better your coffee will taste with the proper equipment and a little effort.

Not bad for the price but I usually buy the Kirkland original house blend from Costco and I was shocked at how dry these beans were. I had to use more to get the right strength which caused me to go through it faster. It does taste chocolatey which was nice but I don’t think I’d buy it again.

Makes a great mug of strong coffee with a good taste and aroma that's keeping me coming back for more.

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.

I’m disappointed. The beans don’t seem to be that fresh. It lacks the flavor I’m use to in coffee.
