Great roast! Love the Flavors!!!
This coffee is Awesome! They both have a very Rich aroma, and great tasting brew. I love the flavor so much. There is an Ethiaopia blend and Vanuatu blend. Both have very different flavor, and richness levels.Very good stuff.This set comes with a manual grinder, and two glass jars with one lid.I will be buying from this seller again!

Nice Starter Gift Set
This is a nice set to gift someone thinking about doing small batch grinding. The box set looks nice, as does the grinder. A nice touch is the second jar, so you can grind some of both of the flavors of coffee you get. But beware, with this grinder, it’s not a quick process to grind for more than a cup or two at a time. I liked both coffees, although I usually buy dark roast

RICHLY FLAVORFUL – PRACTICAL HAND GRINDER PERFECT FOR WHEN ELECTRICITY IS INACCESSIBLE
This is a really fun coffee/hand grinder set. As you can see from my photos, it presents beautifully as a gift for your favorite coffee connoisseur. That being said, we are definitely keeping this set!VANUATU FLAVORSThe Vanuatu beans yield a smooth coffee with rich notes of vanilla and macadamia. The milder flavor would make this an excellent choice when serving a wide variety of people at a gathering. However, make no mistake, do not confuse âmildâ with âlack of flavor.â This coffee delivers plenty of complex notes.ETHIOPIAN FLAVORSBy comparison, the Ethiopian beans yield a slightly bolder (but not aggressive) coffee. This one is our familyâs favorite due to fruity undertones paired with notes of chocolate (think raspberry chocolate truffle).HAND GRINDER â PERFECT FOR WHEN ELECTRICITY IS INACCESSIBLEThe hand grinder is both charming and practical. The handle folds inward so it is easier to store/pack. My first impression was that this grinder is perfect for camping or hiking when you donât have electricity. Also, if you experience a power outage (but have access to non-electric cooking fuel) you can still have yourself a nice pour over!FINAL THOUGHTSOverall, I am very pleased with this product. Of course, taste is subjective, so you might pick up on some different flavors. Regardless, this organic coffee is richly flavorful and top quality. The grinder is fun and practical. Definitely two thumbs up!

Super impressive coffee kit!
I was really pleasantly surprised by this kit. It has two full-sized bags of whole beans! (They smell wonderful!)In addition, you get a small little manual grinder, with glass holder for the grounds. In addition, another small glass jar with a lid, for storing extra (as in, your next brew!). The grinder actually works pretty well. It’s easy to open, and to work. The glass jars seem to be holding up nicely, as well, with metal lids that screw on and off. If you’re someone who only likes to brew a bit at a time, this is a great option. Of course I’m typically on the lazier size, and prefer to grind a lot more at one time. But that’s just me!

Coffee is good. The grinder is a novelty piece…not my favorite.
So I’m not a coffee aficionado. I go through phases, where I’ll drink 2 cups a day (mostly when it’s cold), but mostly I like to drink hot tea. That being said, I do like good coffee. This coffee is good, not amazing, but good. The grinder is cute for a minute, until 5-10 minutes in and you just barely have enough for a 5 cup pot. This is after filling it up a half dozen times because the container is small. I can tell you the last thing that I want to do in the morning is grind up some coffee beans in this thing while I am fiending for a cup of joe. Also, it seems like I was “grinding” the knob handle. There is this white powder around where the knob connects to the handle that I think is from the knob breaking down while using it. Again, I think the grinder is just a novelty piece not to be taken seriously and I’m not really taking that into account for the rating. The coffee is good. I’ve debated on getting an electric coffee bean grinder over the years and since I have 2 pounds of coffee to grind, this will spur me to buy one..

Two 16 ounce whole bean coffees and a manual adjustable grind coffee mill in a lovely gift-able box.
__What we have here are two bags of 16 ounce whole bean coffees and a manual adjustable grind coffee hand powered mill packed neatly in a lovely gift-able box. The colorful outer box and attractive arrangement of the contents makes for a lovely presentation as a gift.THE GRINDER:__The grinder is not a burr grinder–it is on the lines of a pepper mill style grinder. I was pleasantly surprised to see the grinder came with not one but TWO jars for the coffee. The jars are a screw fit to the grinder. Once you grind the beans, you unscrew the jar and use the coffee. If you ground more than you need, you can use the single enclosed lid to preserve it till tomorrow (or your second brew). The jars only have a practical capacity of about 7 fluid ounces–so about 1 good size pot plus maximum.__ A better use for the grinder is for 1-2 cup grinds, IMHO. Why? Well, if you’ve ever uses a pepper grinder (or a coffee hand grinder) before, you know how long it takes to get a teaspoon of product–for coffee you’ll need at least 4 times that much, so you will be grinding for a while. Also, the fill capacity of the grinder is small, so grinding only enough for a cup or two without refilling the grinder with beans is more practical for a cup or two versus a pot. The bright side is your grinding effort definitely makes for VERY fresh ground coffee!__I have a burr grinder, so I won’t be using this on a regular basis, EXCEPT during a power failure (we have a gas burner available for heating water), and I would be happy to use this then.THE COFFEES:__I received 2 packages: one” Single Origin Vanuatu Pacific Island Medium Roast” and the other “Mother Station Natural Ethiopia Single Origin Medium Roast”. Both labels have :”Volcanic Cult Finest/Organic/Supreme” appearing over the names. However, there is NO USDA Organic certification, nor ingredient list on the package (not sure a list is needed for a single ingredient?). They are distributed by “Vanunt, LLC” in Cambridge, MA.__The “expert” flavor notes on the Ethiopia coffee are “Strawberry, Milk chocolate, Merlot”. No such expert flavor description is available for the Vanuatu coffee. Taste is so subjective that I decline to try to describe coffee further, except to say these are medium roasts (both).Interestingly the beans appear to be of 2 different sizes, since the first bag is larger than the second despite the fact that they both weigh the same.__ I was worried about how fresh the beans would be (of course, how do you ever truly know that?). On these bags there was a date over 9 months in the future from the day I received them (both bags). Both dates were identical.__The packaging indicates this maker (Volcanic cult) tries to source from volcanic regions (FYI).BOTTOM LINE__This is a nice combination gift for someone, and two full pounds of single origin beans (organic but w/o certification) is not cheap. I am glad to have it but have to deduct a bit for not being able to verify its organic status.__4.7 stars.
