Equal Exchange Love Buzz Ground (1x10 Oz)

This is my favorite coffee now, the taste is so unique and bold. I will recommend to all.

First off, I bought this coffee specifically because it's organic, fair trade, and ethically sourced. Because coffee can be absolutely loaded with leftover pesticides I always go organic and I love that the company really does give back to local communities and helps to give people better lives. As far as flavor, whoa is it strong! And that's comparing it to Pete's organic French Roast which I thought was the strongest I'd had before this one. We use this in a single cup porcelain immersion dripper and it seems to be the perfect grind for that, which isn't always the case with pre-ground coffee. The aroma upon opening the bag was dark and sweet and powerful. I learned quickly that I really only needed about 2/3 the amount of coffee that I usually use to make a nice dark cup and I don't have to steep it quite as long to get the same strength. The first cup I used too much and steeped it too long (the same as I would have with my other coffee) and it was cloyingly strong with a hint of bitterness even through the honey and cream that I use. That's actually a bonus for me though because now I can use less coffee (and in turn spend less money) to get the same strong cup. As long as I use the right amount & steep for the correct amount of time it has a nice smooth taste that's very full flavored and enjoyable. I will absolutely be buying this again & will probably end up making the switch from Pete's.

I really love this coffee. It is definitely my favorite. Love the taste. love that it’s organic. Definitely has a good kind of kick to it also

This is excellent coffee (my favorite), it's sustainably and fairly grown and your money goes to a very good cause, what could be better? The price. The price could be better. I can buy this for $8.00 at many churches and for $10.00 max in the grocery store.

just to expensive for my budget, but good

I really like the flavor of this coffee. Very smooth and not a hint of bitterness.

My friends owned a coffee shop in the 2000s that mostly served Equal Exchange and some Dean's Beans. This tasted alright but was nowhere near their coffee of the past. Got some McDonald's medium roast for free and sadly, it tasted better than this by quite a lot. That makes me sad, this company is not at all like it used to be. Someone else has to have bought it up or something. I'm going to try Don Pablo again after finishing that McD's bag, that was good some years ago. So yeah, not bad, not great, not worth the price. You're better off getting a Starbucks Cafe Verona or a McCafe medium than this for sure. Makes my skin crawl to say that, but those coffees just taste better than this so I have to be honest.

I love this coffee.
