Counter Culture Coffee – Whole Bean Coffee – Freshly Roasted Coffee Beans – Premium Coffee – Multiple Flavors – One 12 Ounce Bag of Each (Hologram)

Fresh and tasty
The overall experience with counter culture was great. My coffee shipped when it said it would and got here the earlier of the two possible days listed. Both bags were stamped with a roasted-on date about 5 days prior to their arrival. So, about as long as it took to roast, bag, box and ship it to my door. I don’t think it could be any fresher than that without visiting a roastery in person. I do want to note that my order shipped directly from CC and not from Amazon, which is not the case with all variates offered on the amazon. Just something to keep in mind for freshness. Also, the coffee variety used in the blend is also stamped on the bags.I do want to preference this by saying that the roast on both of these is likely lighter than a lot of people are going to be used to if they do not already drink specialty coffee.Of the two “Big Trouble” is my favorite, by a lot too. That surprised me because I tend to prefer darker roasts. I would say this roast, in my experience, is on the lighter side of medium. In a v60 it makes a well-rounded cup that is balanced between body and acid. So, it tastes modern with a hint of nostalgia. This is the cup of coffee I wish I could get served in every local diner. It could easily become my daily driver, so to speak. These flavors remain the same in the Aeropress but are slightly muted.As for “Fourty-Six” it is a bit different. Smokey and fuller in taste, which I like, but there is slight floral aftertaste which isn’t my preference. Don’t get me wrong, it is a good cup of coffee, but it misses the mark for me personally. I’d definitely recommend it to others who like that sort of taste. While listed as a dark roast I’d say it is on the side of medium-dark. It has the characteristics of a dark roast in flavor, though.For reference I use a Timemore C2 as my grinder and a V60 using the 4:6 method for my daily cup. I find that I like 18 clicks. I’d say this is closer to medium than a medium-fine grind.Anyway, I’ll be trying more varieties.

Been searching for good beans!
Counter Culture is top notch! We have been threw plenty of brands and finally found one worth trying every flavor! Even got the half-caffeine one to drink in the afternoon. You won’t be disappointed! 🙃

I love this coffee and it’s my go-to brand and flavor.However, I usually order directly from Counter Culture. When I order direct it’s usually been roasted within 4 days of arrival. But after ordering here I was surprised to see it had been roasted 5 months earlier (Dec roast, April arrival). Hologram was significantly less fresh than I’m used to. Instead of smelling awesome, it smelled like cigarettes.Still pretty good flavor overall. I love this coffee and it’s fantastic when fresh. I’ll order this coffee again but not from this source.

Where has this coffee bean😝 my whole life? This is one of those rare coffee beans that is so unbelievably smooth I could drink it black and I prefer cream. So if you are looking for a low acid, non bitter coffee experience, please treat yourself to counter culture. And NO I’m not being paid for my review… it’s just that good.
