Rich flavor
Rich full bodied flavor for medium roast. Truly enjoyable with a heady aroma.

Dependably one of my favorites
I’ve tried several of Kicking Horse’s beans and never liked any of them, they always seemed over roasted with no nuanced flavors to be detected. I tried this Smart Ass on sale locally and it has become one of my favorites. It makes a good espresso and Aeropress cup. It’s strong, but not burnt tasting and has subtle blueberry notes. I’ll always buy new coffees from smaller roasters (Lavazza owns Kicking Horse) to try now and then, but I love this as my dependable go-to, especially since it’s usually less expensive than the competition.

Not a coffee snob, but it’s good stuff! Using it for lattes and mochas.
I’m certainly not a coffee connoisseur. I’ve been trying to find my favorite bean for morning lattes and mochas ever since upgrading to a “real” espresso machine, a Lelit Mara, earlier this year. I’ve gone through a small handful of beans so far, and this Smart Ass coffee is among the best. I normally go for a bean from a local roaster but if it isn’t conveniently available (I live pretty rurally and it’s often easier to order from Amazon than it is to go to “town”) I’ll get adventurous and try some new stuff. Kicking Horse seemed well reviewed so I gave it a chance and the Smart Ass seemed to be the most like my preferred flavor profile. It’s a solid medium roast so it’s not bitter or earthy. It’s what I might call “balanced”; it’s bright and a bit chocolaty. It’s not subtle and it’s not aggressive. It’s just a really nice smooth middle-of-the-road taste. I might try some others from these guys. I only recently learned that Kicking Horse’s parent company is Lavazza, a hugely popular Italian coffee company. What this means for their beans and product, I don’t know, but Kicking Horse isn’t the small company it might appear to be. Still, it’s good stuff, a bit on the expensive side but it’s organic and fair-trade. I’d buy it again. In fact I’ll probably do that now, I just remembered I emptied the last of the bag.

Great Brews! Just the jumpstart I needed.
Move over, snooze button! Kicking Horse Coffee just became my new morning motivator. Ok, fine, until they figure out a way to get the caffeine into me before I wake up, I will still need the snooze button.Nevertheless, this coffee is bold, robust, and downright delicious, it’s the kind of coffee that makes you smile before your eyes are even open all the way.Cheers to waking up on the right side of the bed every morning!
