BROOKLYN COFFEE Whole Bean, Classic Dark Roast (5lb) Bold, Smooth Taste, Intense Aroma - Fresh Bulk Coffee Beans Roasted Weekly in NYC

This coffee is FANTASTIC! Super smooth, no bitterness. If you are looking for a great medium bodied coffee, this is it. Highly recommend it.

I've tried several coffees in the past year. This ITALIAN Dark Roast Whole bean – 5 LB is perhaps not the *best* coffee, but it ranks very highly. The price makes it even better. At $.52/ounce, it blows away other coffees that I might like better. I'm not finished experimenting, not by a long shot, but this is very good coffee that I'm willing to serve to family and guests. I like the 5 pound bag. I grind about twice a week, about 1/2 pound at a time. The remainder gets resealed, and put inside of an airtight plastic canister. It stays fresh right up until the last batch of grinding. What does it taste like? Well, it has that sorta chocolatey taste that people talk about. There are flavors that linger on the upper pallete and at the back of the tongue. It's just a nice, full bodied, satisfying taste (and aroma) that competes with many other, much more expensive brands of coffee. Some reviewers have commented on the oily beans. Yes, these are somewhat oily. Those oils contain the aromatics that give coffees their distinctive flavors. It seems to me that those oily beans are a requirement for good, dark roast coffees. I'm giving this coffee 5 stars.

For me, there are few thing in life as enjoyable as a great cup of coffee.. I love the taste of coffee with nothing added.. that has a strong, rich flavor...not acidic, not bitter, with no astringent aftertaste.. I favor the very dark jet black beans with a little of the oily sheen.. This is really, really good.. I shared some with 2 of my work colleagues who have similar tastes and they also really liked it. This is the best mail order coffee I have found so far...

Really good coffee. My wife and I like dark roast with a rich strong flavor. This is a great deal for the cost. We would like a little stronger brew but don’t want to pay double or triple the cost of this fine coffee to get it.

This is excellent coffee and 5lbs of whole bean lasts a very long time. For over a year for me. I just place it in gallon sealed jars with oxygen absorbers and voila good cup of coffee when desired. This is my 2nd time buying in bulk. Comes to roughly $.16 per cup made how I like it. I purchased 12 bottles of mocha.coffee for nearly $3 a bottle. Bought 5 lbs for $60 and 20 oz of hershey's syrup for $8. Do the math. I reuse the bottles. Can freeze freshly squeezed juice in them. Perfect for summer!

Have ordered multiple times. Taste just great! 👍❤️ Certainly the best value by purchasing the larger bag quantity. Highly recomend.

UPDATE: This coffee is amazing. My bad for the earlier review. My ratio was way off. I was using way too little water for the amount of ground beans I was using. This is a bold, beautiful and smooth coffee. Be sure to check your ratios for the type of flavor you like. The beans were way too old and brittle - no oils at all. The taste was a bit harsh/bitter for a dark roast. I even made changes to grind size and water temperature to try and bring out the notes that were described. I would highly recommend that the buyer beware. Costly error.

As a long time coffee roaster, I should have known better! This coffee is not meant for espresso. It is good as a drip. I wish the seller would say the correct usage for this product in their description. As an espresso, ground and brewed in a solid commercial machines, the best it gets after grinder adjustment is watery, dark, somewhat tasteless, although smooth. I canceled my order for the other roasts because all the descriptions said the blends were good for espresso, and, being a coffee roaster, I know that’s just not true. Roasts are specifically designed for espresso, you don’t just say that all your blends are good for espresso!! I wish they would be more discriminating about how they market their products. In the long run, I think it would be worth it for this roaster to do that.
