Not too bitter, very good for price
I donât consider myself a huge fan of coffee in general because it is bitter, so it needs to be pretty good for me to like it. Therefore, I try to drink coffee from freshly ground light roast beans and French press when possible (otherwise use a lot of creamer).I appreciate that this coffee is whole bean as it is difficult to find coffee that is not pre-ground. Its light roast really is light roast unlike some. As the description says, this is probably a âdarkerâ light roast. The beans are not too oily to gunk up your grinder. The flavor is not too bitter and not only can drink it black, but I have actually chewed on these beans when I needed a caffeine kick and they were not bad (I am thinking about making chocolate covered coffee beans with them).They come in a resealable bag which is nice. They also had a best-buy date a year and a few months from now. I question how fresh they would be 6 months from now, much less by then. So I wouldn’t be surprised if the coffee was stale prior to the best buy date. I would not let this stuff sit on your shelf for a year before using.This coffee is at the top of the price range that I typically purchase at about $8 per pound. That said, it may be the best coffee I have had in that price range. Although the bargain box store coffee I have been drinking the most is only about $5.35 a pound, this may be my new go-to coffee because it tastes a lot better.

Iâve now tried 4 of these flavors and theyâre all perfect.
Iâve tried sooo many coffees over the years. Now even when I think about trying another brand I come back to this one because I know it will be great and the price is right for how much you get.Blonde Roast: Absolute perfection. My go to for pour over and French press. You just canât beat the quality, freshness, flavor, and value! Tastes great whether you do drip, French press or even cold brew! So often âlight roastsâ are either tasteless or soooo not light! But this has been one of the best coffeeâs Iâve had in a long time and Iâve been subscribed for months!Cold Brew Blend: strong but smooth. Holds up great to ice and a little cream and syrups.Super Creama – oh my god Iâve died and gone to coffee heaven. Makes the most amazing, creamy Flat Whites, Cafe Con Leches or Lattes. I find myself using way less cream and sugar than when I get coffee out at even the pricier coffee shops who claim to have the best. Pure delight.Blonde Espresso- light but definitely still espresso. I find this needs just the slightest bit of milk or cream and sugar to enjoy. But has a distinct flavor all its own.My only complaint the chaff. Some bags have been better than others but once I realized what it was I started checking my bags before putting any beans into my grinder.Oh and I absolutely LOVE the bag and how easy it is to open! I have psoriatic arthritis and I usually end up having to cut coffee bags and pour them into another container but the easy open bag works great!

As a Coffee Snob, I Love It!
This is a review for the Blonde Roast. I was looking for a change to my usual dark roast menu that forms nearly 90% of my coffee consumption, But you know how it is, after a while you want a little variety not just in brand, but flavor after discovering this from Wink, my dark roasts have been growing stale as I keep reaching for this instead. I normally brew my coffees with a coffee press, though I have a number of methods that I will make use of depending on mood, ranging from my keurig, to a pour over, Ethiopian stove pot, Bellini and so on.I’ve now ordered this twice and have just as of this review, subscribed to it I’ve come to enjoy it that much. Oh my gosh. This is *good*!!! It’s got a great floral flavor without coming across as weak or as “coffee lite”. The bloom on these beans has got to be seen to believed, it’s almost foamy it’s so fresh. The flavor as a result is very fresh, with a noticeable citrus/floral quality, silky smooth and a light nut/wood undertone. And if you’re looking for a decent caffeine bump, you won’t be disappointed, I often joke that if I give blood one can smell the coffee. I get a real zip from this in the morning, a single cup will wake you up juuuuuust fine.The bag is a unexpected surprise, this isn’t one of those roll over with a coated wire band to haphazardly attempt to lock in freshness that one ultimately throws away in disgust/contempt. No this bag comes with a CO2 filter to allow those gases to escape, and a zip seal that is both easy and *solid*, other vendors could take a lesson from how Wink designed their bags, I have no need of my expensive coffee storage canisters with Wink’s bags, I just make use of it as is.Finally, you get a fair value for your money, good* quality, great packaging, and Prime shipping.Don’t over think this, you won’t regret taking a chance on this and mind you, I’m normally into dark roasts and this wowed me, if you’re a coffee drinker you know how tough that is for a bean to pull off. I hope I helped you in taking a chance on this vendor, I know how that goes, you get burned, and you get tired of taking a chance and getting burned for it. This is not one of those times, dig in coffee brother/sister, you will not regret it. If you thought this review helpful, give me a thumbs up so that I can tell I’m giving you good, actionable info to decide by.

Best Bulk Alternative to Starbucks Blonde Espresso
Iâve tried many highly-rated espresso beans on Amazon and experimented with different setups, including the Profitec GO and a Breville grinder. If youâre trying to recreate Starbucksâ Iced Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso at home, this is the perfect alternativeâespecially if you want to buy in bulk without purchasing the actual Starbucks brand.Most other beans Iâve tried were too strong or had the wrong flavor profile, but this one nails the smooth, balanced taste of Starbucksâ Blonde Espresso. If youâre looking for the right beans to make your homemade version taste just right, this is the one to get!

Great coffee beans
Very high quality and good taste- just not as good as Stumptown!
