  I have tried many different coffee’s over the past severeal years and I am a hard customer to please. I ran across this coffee at my son’s house and loved it. I love a bold coffee and this one tasted better than any of the coffee’s I have had to date so I decided to join the coffee club as we go through quite a bit of coffee. I am a creature of habit and if I find one I really like I tend not to change. The beans are dark in color and have an oily (which I find are the best) look. I would highly recommend this coffee to anyone.

  I like good strong coffee and it’s a good price for organic coffee, especially with free shipping.

  The coffee works very well with my french press coffee pot. I make it very strong, yet the coffee is neither sour nor bitter.

  This is a delightful dark roast with lots of oils and smooth rich flavor. If you subscribe to this product, you can get it for about $7 a pound, which is substantially cheaper than the much inferior product at the grocery store. Unless I can get back to Portland and buy some Buckmaster’s Coffee, this is my second favorite.

  Well the first time I used these beans in my french press, the coffee tasted great. However, as a started developing my taste for the coffee, I noticed that this particular variety has a strong smokey flavor to it. Some may not like that flavor.

  Also, I found that the beans did not exhibit much “bloom” when I was brewing it in the press. I think that has very much to do with the age of the beans.

  This coffee has a great French Roast taste, which is the only kind I drink! You cannot beat the price, especially on an organic coffee bean. The taste is very rich and dark, but not bitter. I would recommend this coffee to anyone.

  I haven’t bought a coffee from Cafe Altura that disappointed me. This is a great French roast; I have no complaints about the coffee, but I will say some of their roasts are better than this one. Its brews great coffee; its just not their best roast.

  This is my favorite roast Cafe Altura makes. I make espresso with these beans every single day and I just love it. These beans are very oily, very strong, and has some complex flavors including spiciness. If you just love smooth italian espresso, then this could be too strong for you. It doesn’t have so much of burnt flavor or bitterness, though espresso could get bitter sometimes if you grind them too fine or tamp too hard. I’ve never tried these in french press or drip, but my guess is that if it is brewed for correct amount of time, it will produce very nice coffee.

  I drink coffee everyday, and subscribe to the theory that life is too short to drink bad coffee. I’ve taken gambles on coffee in the past and have thrown it away. This coffee brews up a good, dark, rich cup which I drink black. It has a subtle smokey background, but is not bitter. As with all coffee, it should be brewed (or pressed) with the proper grind and in the right porportion, but when done right, it’s good coffee. I also like the fact that it’s organically grown and traded fairly. If you enjoy dark roasts, you will not be disappointed.
