Amazon Fresh Organic Fair Trade Sumatra Whole Bean Coffee, Dark Roast, 12 Ounce

This is a really good dark roast coffee! The beans are great quality, and the coffee has a rich, smooth taste without being overly bitter. I especially like the full-bodied flavor of the Sumatra roast. I’ve purchased it more than once and have been very happy with the quality and taste. Great coffee at a good price!

Quality, taste, price everything i wanted in my coffee. Strength is great also

Good coffee but a bit too mild for me. I like a bold but not bitter coffee and this is not bitter and has a decent taste but even adding extra coffee to the brew, I can’t get a strong enough coffee flavor for me. I would buy this brand again but I’ll look for a darker roast.

I love the smell of the fresh ground beans and this dark roast is very good. It's not the best ever, like some varieties found from Peets but it's a legitimate coffee bean that delivers a strong cup when you need it. Works easily with a swiss style gold filter and either a cloth or paper liner, after grinding the beans and slow pouring over the coffee, slower for a heavier darker taste.

Makes a dark thick opaque cup of strong black coffee in my drip coffee maker. Tastes very good to me and leaves a good taste in your mouth, I personally find most medium-light coffees to be too acidic. This is excellent and personally I like the chewy dark earthy bitterness - though it's pretty smooth and not overly bitter. My favorite dark roast was discontinued and I feel like this may be a good replacement. I tried everything from really expensive fair trade coffees at my local co-op to going through all the normal name brands in my search for a good daily dark roast coffee. While it's not 100% as good to my current taste as what I used to get, I still feel like it deserves five stars because once I get used to it I might like it even better.

But not surprisingly good either. For the price I paid ($5 and change) I am satisfied (okay, and mildly pleased as well) with my Amazon Fresh dark roast Sumatra whole bean coffee. Being organic and Fair Trade is a bonus I suppose. My just-above-mediocre review might have something to do with Sumatran coffee, which after years of unsuccessfully chasing the dragon with my first experience (blown away by strong notes of earth, leather, spice and funk), now tastes mostly of minor notes of earth, mushrooms (which is earthy in nature), and sometimes a little spice and woody notes; with everything blunted by the low acidity and heavier mouthfeel. Perhaps my palate adjusted quickly after that first try. I like it though, and I'm not hating on it; I just want to be clear that this isn't one of those secret sleeper deals that'll make you the Warren Buffet of coffee (meaning personal enrichment through wise, patient long-term investments while living frugally), or have you uploading a video on social media bragging about your wicked find. But after a few days of drinking this coffee it started to wear on me. Flavors disappearing and just a burnt bitterness remains. Not sure I will finish the bag. Definitely won't buy again. But wait: the following morning I brewed another cup (pour-over) and this time, by better monitoring my initial pouring temperature (about 196-197 degrees F in this instance, vs 198-199 F degrees yesterday) I was able to produce a better tasting cup that had me back on the , "It's really not bad, especially at this price" bandwagon. But still, I don't feel like the Warren Buffet of coffee for it. Food for thought side note: different coffees (and roasts) taste different with different brewing techniques and equipment, and at different brewing temperatures with different sources of water. How do you know your coffee is to blame for unsatisfactory results, when it could be any of the above factors not matching your coffee type or roast?

This is actually really good coffee. Not as inexpensive as it first looks because it is only 12 ounces, but I was pleasantly surprised at the taste.

I love Sumatra coffee. This was nice, made a good cup of coffee. I didn’t find it to be acidic. I appreciated the price point.
