Itâs okay
Fair, was enamored with the flavor profile, just sorta bland, however, the price was right. Didnât get much of a pick-me-up for medium roast. My wife thought it was a dark roast based on her tastebuds.

Not Bad
But not surprisingly good either. For the price I paid ($5 and change) I am satisfied (okay, and mildly pleased as well) with my Amazon Fresh dark roast Sumatra whole bean coffee. Being organic and Fair Trade is a bonus I suppose. My just-above-mediocre review might have something to do with Sumatran coffee, which after years of unsuccessfully chasing the dragon with my first experience (blown away by strong notes of earth, leather, spice and funk), now tastes mostly of minor notes of earth, mushrooms (which is earthy in nature), and sometimes a little spice and woody notes; with everything blunted by the low acidity and heavier mouthfeel. Perhaps my palate adjusted quickly after that first try. I like it though, and I’m not hating on it; I just want to be clear that this isn’t one of those secret sleeper deals that’ll make you the Warren Buffet of coffee (meaning personal enrichment through wise, patient long-term investments while living frugally), or have you uploading a video on social media bragging about your wicked find. But after a few days of drinking this coffee it started to wear on me. Flavors disappearing and just a burnt bitterness remains. Not sure I will finish the bag. Definitely won’t buy again. But wait: the following morning I brewed another cup (pour-over) and this time, by better monitoring my initial pouring temperature (about 196-197 degrees F in this instance, vs 198-199 F degrees yesterday) I was able to produce a better tasting cup that had me back on the , “It’s really not bad, especially at this price” bandwagon. But still, I don’t feel like the Warren Buffet of coffee for it.Food for thought side note: different coffees (and roasts) taste different with different brewing techniques and equipment, and at different brewing temperatures with different sources of water. How do you know your coffee is to blame for unsatisfactory results, when it could be any of the above factors not matching your coffee type or roast?

Coffee Beans
Great coffee. Tastes just like the imports, but much better price.

Robust, Fresh, Quality Beans
This was a pleasant surprise for me! Amazon Fresh Sumatra was a fantastic purchase. I use a French Press and fresh grind beans daily. I snagged this for convenience and to “fill a gap” for a few days. I couldn’t be happier. It was so fresh and flavorful I went to searching to find out who actually roasted the beans. Great product, highly recommend.
