Fast Forward - Light Roast, Organic, Sustainably Farmed, Kosher, Whole Bean Coffee, 12 oz (1 Bag)

Little pricey but quality is there, Nice medium bold, Great flavor and smooth

Amazing coffee. We used it for our espresso maker at home after having it at our favorite local cafe in a latte. Exactly the same taste and flavor that we were hoping for. You will love it.

The overall experience with counter culture was great. My coffee shipped when it said it would and got here the earlier of the two possible days listed. Both bags were stamped with a roasted-on date about 5 days prior to their arrival. So, about as long as it took to roast, bag, box and ship it to my door. I don't think it could be any fresher than that without visiting a roastery in person. I do want to note that my order shipped directly from CC and not from Amazon, which is not the case with all variates offered on the amazon. Just something to keep in mind for freshness. Also, the coffee variety used in the blend is also stamped on the bags. I do want to preference this by saying that the roast on both of these is likely lighter than a lot of people are going to be used to if they do not already drink specialty coffee. Of the two "Big Trouble" is my favorite, by a lot too. That surprised me because I tend to prefer darker roasts. I would say this roast, in my experience, is on the lighter side of medium. In a v60 it makes a well-rounded cup that is balanced between body and acid. So, it tastes modern with a hint of nostalgia. This is the cup of coffee I wish I could get served in every local diner. It could easily become my daily driver, so to speak. These flavors remain the same in the Aeropress but are slightly muted. As for "Fourty-Six" it is a bit different. Smokey and fuller in taste, which I like, but there is slight floral aftertaste which isn't my preference. Don't get me wrong, it is a good cup of coffee, but it misses the mark for me personally. I'd definitely recommend it to others who like that sort of taste. While listed as a dark roast I'd say it is on the side of medium-dark. It has the characteristics of a dark roast in flavor, though. For reference I use a Timemore C2 as my grinder and a V60 using the 4:6 method for my daily cup. I find that I like 18 clicks. I'd say this is closer to medium than a medium-fine grind. Anyway, I'll be trying more varieties.

This is my favorite coffee! These coffee beans are an absolute delight from the moment you open the bag. The aroma is warm and inviting, hinting at the rich flavors inside. Once brewed, the coffee is incredibly smooth with a naturally sweet, well-rounded taste that makes every sip feel comforting and satisfying.

Delicious as always, but I was very disappointed in the quality of the bag. They are wax coated paper, and ripped significantly during opening. I like to keep coffee in the original bag when possible to avoid drying out the oils so I probably won't buy it again. The coffee is so expensive to be in this awful packaging.

The flavor of this coffee is not bitter. It is smooth and not too strong.

Great coffee, but... when I purchase from Counter Culture direct I get freshly ground beans. Ordering through other sources can mean a bit longer between roast and delivery. I'm becoming more picky. So I'll check before an order to find the info from the source. If the source is an Amazon warehouse, I'm not sure that is even possible to find out. I think a purchase depends on your expectations. With all my aging coffee concerns, this is light roast. And light roast will age slower than darker. And much much longer than decaf roast will hold up. FYI.

Very acidic, tastes awful. No matter how I try to prepare it it always comes out tasting sour and bad.
