Coffee is a personal thing. What I enjoy you may not. I can tell you that I went back for a second cup and will buy this again.Freshness:. Let’s start here. The coffee arrived with plenty of time prior to best before date. The coffee beans are oily. (Not the best proxy for freshness but still a win.). The real tell tale sign I find is does the coffee bloom on first contact with water. This didn’t. It’s not super fresh. However, I put a handful of beans in a ziplock bag overnight and pushed out all the air and sealed. The bag was puffed up a bit in the morning with air. These are definately not stale.Ok, flavor is a personal thing so I won’t dwell here. It a medium to full body flavor. Because they are a darker roast you get that bite at the beginning. I find for my tastes this coffee starts nice but fizzles out and lacks a great finish. The coffee is smooth with a desirable flavor. If you like Sumatra, or other Indonesian coffees you will likely enjoy this too. I find this very comparable to Peruvian Cafe Femenino but without the awesome finish.The oily texture of the beans is good news for those of us using a French press, or a mocka pot. If you’re brewing this in a drip coffee maker I recommend anything other than a paper filter as it will negate the awesome oily nature of these beans. Use a gold filter.That said, this is a fantastic value for the quality you get vs. The price. Especially when you consider it’s organic, non GMO and 100% Arabica beans. Although I question whether this is single origin coffee or blended from combinations of beans. The fact there is no mention of this on the bag leads me to believe this is a blend. Given taste profile I suspect this is a blend of different Latin American beans. (What do I know?)All in all I will buy again as it is comparably priced to house brands of whole beans in the local supermarkets for significantly better quality. But it doesn’t compare to buying freshly roast coffee from your local roaster, nor should you expect that buying coffee from a large online retailer like Amazon.

Turning Mornings from ‘Ugh’ to ‘Yesss!
Let me just start by saying that if coffee were a superhero, Mayorga Organics Coffee Cubano Roast would definitely be wearing a cape made of dark roast beans. This 2lbs bag of magic not only promises to kick-start your day but also has enough intensity to wake up the neighborâs catâno joke!Upon opening this glorious bag of 100% USDA Organic and Non-GMO Verified goodness, I was hit with a wave of aroma so rich it could probably win a reality show about fragrances. Iâm talking about the kind of smell that makes you want to hug the bag and whisper sweet nothings to it. “Oh, Mayorga, you complete me!”Once I finally peeled myself away from the bag, I decided to brew a cup. The brewing process was like a slow danceâsmooth and sultry, with just the right amount of anticipation. And let me tell you, the first sip was nothing short of a flavor explosion! It was like my taste buds threw a party, and everyone was invited: chocolate, caramel, and just the right amount of smoky notes. If I could marry a beverage, Iâd be on a honeymoon with this coffee right now! âðNow, I should probably mention that this coffee is labeled as Dark Roast, and oh boy, it lives up to that name. Itâs not just dark; itâs like the night sky on a moonless evening. One cup in, and I was ready to tackle the day like a caffeinated superhero. I was suddenly proficient in everythingâwork, cleaning, even tackling that long-forgotten DIY project I had been avoiding (you know, the one involving a shelf, a drill, and lots of hopeful YouTube tutorials).And let’s not forget the direct trade aspect; this coffee has got ethics! Sipping this brew not only perks you up but also makes you feel like you’re part of a great movementâlike a coffee rebel fighting against the tyranny of mediocre brews everywhere.So if you’re tired of waking up feeling like a sloth who just ran a marathon, grab a bag of Mayorga Organics Coffee Cubano Roast Dark Coffee. Itâs not just coffee; itâs a life-changing experience packed into a 2lbs bag that promises to turn your mornings from “meh” to “letâs seize the day!” Your taste budsâand probably the entire neighborhoodâwill thank you! ð¦¸ââï¸âð

Excellent, rich, robust coffee at great price
Iâm so happy to have found this coffee. I was spending much more for beans that left a bad taste in my mouth after drinking the coffee. But, I like a dark roast, so itâs been very hard to find one that is robust but not bitter. This is it! And itâs much less costly than other dark roasts that I tried. Using an aeropress to brew it.

Over 500 reviews now read this one…
Coffee… it’s a very personal experience. What I may like, you may not… and vice versa. THIS one though, wow. I’ve never been a big believer in organics. I understand the idea behind organics and its sound, but I didn’t really believe that organic anything was better tasting than scientifically grown produce… until now. I like coffee… actually I love coffee. If you wake up to a fresh pot of “name brand” coffee brewed with pre ground beans thru a white or brown paper coffee filter with tap water you are doing your taste buds and your stomach a serious disservice. Everyone likes to think they are a coffee connoisseur. I’m here to help, not criticize… there is a big difference. Let’s get started with just the basics. Coffee contains oils, lots of oils, and acid, a bad thing. Do you or have you ever seen the foam on top of a freshly brewed cup of coffee? That’s the result of acid in the bean after processing (roasting) the bean. It creates the bitter taste you may have experienced if you were paying attention. It’s the result of an inferior bean, period, regardless of what anyone says, it’s simply an inferior bean. I’m not here to debate this fact so if you dissent don’t bother here I don’t have time to respond, if you are still reading please listen closely so I can tell you how to make the BEST coffee you can make, period. There are two methods… first is the French Press with pre filtered or spring water and freshly ground beans which were kept in the refrigerator, not the freezer. Look it up on YouTube. It is the purest form of coffee you can make and is exceptionally cheap and the most wonderful cup of coffee you can imagine. Coming in a close second is coffee that is made with a brewing machine that offers these few things… 1. a charcoal filter for your water, 2. a grinder built into your coffee maker and 3. a metal filter. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT USE A PAPER FILTER if you want best you can get. A paper filter will instantly soak up the oils off of the beans you chose to spend so much of your hard earned money for and ruin what would have been a wonderful cup of coffee. You get it now right? If you’ve made a cup of coffee black and poured it into your cup and seen a floating substance on the top of your coffee, its not because the cup is dirty, its the oils off of the beans themselves… its flavor in and of itself… its what you are paying for. You don’t want the foam, it’s acid… what you do want however is the oily look on top of your cup of coffee, the desirable oil of flavor that you paid for. NO PAPER. This particular blend of Organic coffee is absolutely amazing and far past a steal at this price for an extremely low acidic and Organic blend… extremely underpriced as it should be priced at $30/lb…. its low acidity (undetectable to my taste) and quality flavors are second to none period. In my opinion I find that real Kona coffee is underwhelming compared to this. I know this sounds like a stretch but its not even close IMO. IF IN FACT this company stays true to form, I will not buy another coffee.

Dark roast in a water process decaf!
It’s hard to find a good water process decaf in a rich dark roast. Most decaf coffee is medium or light and not very good. I’ve tried several brands and this one is the winner. Deep, rich, dark roast, very robust and flavorful. Plus, it smells great! Really good coffee if you like a stronger flavor. Excellent!

Awesome Coffee, but roasted months ago
This coffee is amazing. It’s strong like I want it and very smooth. I purchased it after reading other reviews about it being strong without the bitter aftertaste. I’m on the fence about this one only because of how fresh it comes. I’ve been purchasing coffee from another roaster that costs a little more per ounce. But their roast date is generally within 1 to 2 weeks of me receiving my beans. This one, assuming because it’s shipped from the Amazon warehouse, is already 2 to 3 months old by the time the beans reach me. If I were only making coffee with these beans the age wouldn’t be as much of an issue. But 99% of the time I’m drinking espresso and the age of the beans makes a big difference.

Flavor
This dark coffee is incredibly tasty. The bonus of the dark beans is very smooth no bitterness at all. I will continue buying this a long time.
