Amazing organic coffee that I’ve been buying for the last few years. When I drink another brand (not by choice), I’m always so disappointed and invariably compare it to this outstanding Kicking Horse/Kick Ass ground coffee!! Love that it’s organic and fairtrade. Have recently been filling my own capsules for my Nespresso Vertuo and it produces the same creamy/foamy crema without fail.

I love Kicking Horse Coffee’s Kick Ass Dark Roast!
What can I say the rich, bold flavor is perfectly balanced with a smooth finish with no bitterness at all. It’s a great price for such high-quality, organic coffee, and I feel good knowing it’s Fairtrade certified. Definitely my go to morning brew to help me kick the day’s ass.

Consistent quality
This coffee appeals to those who enjoy a robust flavor but not bitter. We have been using this product in our home for over 5 years.

This is Great Stuff!
This is hands down my favorite coffee. Robust, flavorful and full bodied. My coffee maker affords me the ability to choose a strong brew. With this coffee I do not have to turn that feature on. Great stuff. I highly recommend this coffee.

UPDATED: Kick Ass, Smart Ass Roasts, Three Sisters, & Decaf
In the last couple of weeks, I have purchased 3 different Kicking Horse roasts to try. My favorite 2 lb bag of coffee has dramatically increased in price so I am on the hunt for a more reasonably priced brew. The appeal with Kicking Horse is that you get a little bit more (2.2 lbs) at only like $2-3 more than what I was spending on my previously favorite brew that jumped $13 in price for less coffee.My first try was Smart Ass…not gonna lie….it was the name that appealed to me and it was a medium roast. I purchased in the 10 oz bag which is not cost effective in the long run, but for a trial, was fine. I really wanted to like it because the name so fits my personality but I just couldn’t. I am not a fan of the “fruity sweet” roasts and that’s what this came across as to me. The other downside was that it had a bitterness to it which also told me the grind was not very fresh, but even without that, I still wouldn’t have liked the flavor. Unfortunately, it got dumped into the trash.Next on the list was Kick Ass, a dark roast. I used to drink dark roasts all the time and never had a problem but once I had found my previous favorite, which was a medium, and was drinking it regularly, I started having a hard time with going back to the dark. The overall flavor profile fits my palette much nicer, but the “burnt” earthiness that comes with a lot of dark roasts was just too apparent to me on its own. Unlike the Smart Ass though, this one did not get dumped as I found that if I brew it with a bit of pumpkin spice, cinnamon, or cardamom, that burnt flavor dissipates and rounds it out nicely. Since that is something I typically add to my brew anyway, I would consider keeping this one in mind as a back up roast.I am hoping my third bag, Three Sisters, a medium roast which has a flavor profile similar to the Kick Ass (and my other favorite medium roasts), will be the end of my tasting journey and I will have a new regular which can be purchased in the larger, more cost-effective bags and in whole bean. The only reason I have not tried it yet is because I don’t want to waste the Kick Ass. I will probably update my review once I do try it though.1/29/21 UPDATE – I am officially disappointed in Kicking Horse coffee. At this point the only one I do like is their decaf which is not bitter like most other decafs. It was why I gave their other caffeinated options a try during my hunt for a new regular brew. I have determined that if Kick Ass were a medium roast instead of dark, it would be my new favorite. I don’t know if this bag of Three Sisters was stale but it seemed to have a sweet taste (like the Smart Ass) that I don’t care for followed by a bitter taste which is usually due to stale beans. I tossed the first cup and tried a second cup with cinnamon added to it (same as I did with the Kick Ass that evened it out) and I could still taste that sweet bitter like I did with the Smart Ass. Needless to say, the hunt continues.
