So I’m not new to 49th parallel I use there coffee regularly but I normally buy direct. in a pinch Amazon was gunna be faster I figured I wasn’t gunna get something fresh but I didn’t expect something almost a year old. But I guess it beats Starbucks.

My espresso machine usually requires two spoonfuls to deliver a good latte, but with these beans, 3 spoons finally managed to give some taste. This isn’t really espresso, it’s even milder than the one from Starbucks and definitely not as good as what we get at cafe 49th.

The Old School Espresso is probably my favourite roast by 49th parallel. Still have yet to find another coffee brand or roast that will beat this one. As of now this one will stay at the top of my list.

Unfortunately the packaging was damaged and the coffee was a little scattered. I always order 49th parallel, great coffee, probably the best coffee I’ve tried.49th Parallel, please pay attention to the delivery of your product

Quality, condition, and freshness has been inconsistent for me, and packages sometimes arrive damaged/open. Might be best to order directly from 49th parallel. When I get a good bag it’s really nice but for the price I can’t take the chance anymore after too many bad experiences.

Excellent Coffee!
This coffee is awesome! I had this once from a friend who brought it back (to the States) from Canada and have been trying to find ways to get it since. Being on Amazon is a total game changer as there is no shipping charge! I have had the Middle School and Old School blend and Old School is my favorite. It’s med to dark roast and it has a real coffee/chocolate flavor. So happy to have access to 49th parallel thru Amazon!

Easy to acquire specialty roasted coffee but…
Fresher coffee, seems to be a difficult thing to find and lock in on Amazon but better than many others I’ve bought through their service. Flavor wise, seems to be a lighter medium roast than i expected, harder to dial in for espresso on a bambino as a result (because temp can’t be adjusted to take lighter roasts into account), but does have good flavor still for other methods. I know there are other services that can provide a similar quality if not better for less, be it Amazon or other roasters directly. If you’re paying this price because you want good coffee, you’ll probably be better off finding a closer (if not local) roaster and buying directly from them

Extreamly stale
I ordered this because I couldn’t wait for the bag my mother sent from Canada. Usually you can smell the coffee before you even open the bag and I could barely smell anything once I opened it. I thought maybe my nose was stuff and that’s why I couldn’t smell it. I was wrong it was just really stale. I brewed some in my French press and there wasn’t any oil on top like there usually was. The taste was so bland, not like the bold flavor I’m used to. When the bag my mother sent arrived I could smell it as soon as I opened her care package. I did a taste test and it confirmed, the bag I bought was extreamly stale. Save your money it’s not worth buying, it does 49th parallel no justice. FYI it was cheaper for my mother to buy a fresh bag and ship it than it was to purchase on Amazon.

Great coffee beans
I learned about 49th Parallel coffee back in Toronto and I’ve always enjoyed their beans. Lately I’ve been looking for a less bright flavor and I find the Old School espresso to be perfect for espresso and cappuccino. It’s definitely worth giving these beans a try.
