Fresh Roasted Coffee, Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Kochere, 2 lb (32 oz), Medium Roast, Kosher, Whole Bean

By far the best medium roast I have tasted. No after taste, no acidity, a real treat.

This coffee is absolutely delicious! Be aware, this is whole coffee beans - it's not ground coffee. The two pound bag is much larger than I expected it to be, but I'm glad I have so much now since I love it so much!

Nice aroma and pleasant taste.

We own a Jura Impressa 59 coffee machine that has delivered consistent quality for many years. Recently I've noticed a deterioration in the Starbuck's Medium Roast sold at Costco. It's gotten bitter and lacks the sophistication of earlier incarnations. So, we started hunting for an afford alternative. Here it is. Other that genuine Blue Mountain coffee (so much of the coffee calling itself Blue Mountain is clearly not) our favorite coffees are usually a peaberry (one bean instead of two etc.). Unfortunately, these are not cheap coffees. The Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Kochere turns out to be a very smooth, rich tasting coffee without bitterness or unpleasant aftertaste. Works in expresso, flat white and cappuccino. Not so good for Irish Coffee (in my opinion). Until we find a better one, this is our new go-to coffee for daily consumption. Recommended for people enthusiasts.

...but it's just not the best I've had. I'm leaving it on my Subscribe and Save because it's not bad and the price is good, but I've had better. The reality is that I can't, nor do I want to, pay for the better that I've had. Even being "not the best" this is far better than preground coffee and Ethiopian Yirgacheffe is my favorite variety of coffee bean. It's not really prevalent enough that it's easily found, though it's gotten easier in the past few years. I would say this is definitely a medium roast, not as light as I'd prefer, but not so dark that it tastes burnt. The freshness was good, the beans were less than 2 weeks old according to the label and didn't look or taste stale. I would really prefer a much lighter roast, and the beans to be shipped within a week of roasting, but outside of that, I don't think you can get any better of a price for this quantity of beans at this quality.
