12 Ounce Whole Bean Coffee, Medium Roast, Julien's Breakfast Blend, Rainforest Alliance Certified Arabica Coffee

Never bitter, good flavor. This is a hard flavor to find and I love being able to buy a huge bag at a decent price.

Karen's husband review: I'm a single origin guy. I like bright Costa Rican and acidic, wine Ethiopian natural and honey processed coffees. I aeropress most of the coffee I drink, and use a pour over for bulk brewing. I have a professional grinder and use a digital scale and temp controlled kettle. I'm THAT kind of coffee snob. Having said that, this coffee is the only flavored coffee that I not only will drink, but look forward to its place in my rotation. What they have done here is magic. They took caramel, butterscotch and hazelnut (or is it walnut?) and tastefully infused a wonderfully medium roasted bean with a precise hand at the throttle. Drink it black, I do. And that's saying something as most flavored coffee is cheap harsh commodity grade stuff that needs cream and sugar to be tolerated. Then they offer it for a very reasonable price, and it's my understanding that they roast in batches, hense the occasional lulls in availability. I find 2lbs too much to get through in my 5-6 bean rotation in time, so I split the bag with someone, but if you like good quality and highly affordable flavored coffee, you've found all you might ever need. Gosh, it's good chilled over ice, too. I'm contemplating trying their other varieties as well. It's great stuff, if for some reason you don't like it, make a cup for a friend and ask if they want the bag. I guarantee there are not two people in any given area that both dislike this coffee. It's not possible. **EDIT 5-19-20** It’s still just as good! We have increased our consumption of this to where we can’t share the bag anymore. Also, don’t hesitate to try the Cow Tipper, I don’t know which I like more now vs the Mississippi Grog, but we find ourselves enjoying Verena street even a little more on weekends when we have time to enjoy coffee throughout the day. I send a ground pouch out to my mother and have got a couple friends to try and enjoy. There’s nothing like single origin beans, but don’t miss out on a well brewed cup of Verena St, with a good, well thought out flavor that is strong but not overwhelming. If for some reason you don’t like it, give it to another coffee drinker you know, I bet they will.

This stuff is delicious. Smells amazing, tastes like it smells. If you're into sweet, flavored coffees that doesnt taste "flavored," this is perfect. If you like your regular coffee, but just want to give it a little something extra, this is exactly right. The beans are fresh and oily and the flavor is really soaked through - not just a coating - for an even, balanced brew. Perfectly respectable medium roast all on it's own, it has great body and a nice, smooth coffee flavor. I prefer it as a mixer to smooth out my dark roast and it is just what I was looking for. It balances out the acidity and bitterness to my Italian roast and adds more complexity and body to both the Italian roast and my go-to dark roast, Pablo's Pride (Guatemalan), without compromising the quality of the coffee itself. Flavored coffees are much easier to find in a poor quality bean, which tastes like weak, flavored dirt on it's own and ends up taking away from the natural coffee flavor-body-balance, etc, when mixing. Always disappointing to find a nice quality coffee and, when you're looking to just spruce/change it up a bit, end up ruining it with what you realize, too late, to be flavored sawdust. My cup of joe still tastes like a damn good cup of joe when I use it - balanced and full of quality coffee taste - just with a little something extra. The best part about it to me is that it tastes like natural, real ingredients, and the body and creaminess of the brew compliments the flavored elements. It truly adds more than just taste to your brew. I mix it about 20/80 with Pablo (a more balanced, medium-dark roast) and about 35/65 with the Italian to get my balanced and tasty cuppa. I've only brewed with it on my fancy regular drip, so far, but I'm sure the flavor would be even more creamy and aromatic in a press. It does smell amazing. I get really amped for my coffee when i smell it brewing. Lol Definitely recommend. I'd like it to be a bit more affordable (like -10cents/oz), but at this quality, I'll definitely keep it in my rotation. I just wont buy it as much - treat only. #budgeting Here's Pablo.
