88 COFFEE COMPANY - 100% Vietnamese Coffee 12oz bag – Medium Dark Roast,100% ...

I'm not super experienced with doing coffee 'right', but in my opinion these beans are pretty good, nice dark roast for a stronger brew, has some flavorful undertones without straying very far from what I think coffee should generally taste like, I like 'em and would definitely say they're worth trying. I got these along with a few other bean varieties both from Amazon and a local hipster-type 'micro roaster' or something (lol), as kind of my intro into brewing coffee using more proper methods (aeropress, chemex, and a phin), picked this one because I wanted one that felt at least somewhat authentic to use with a Vietnamese phin coffee filter (which I'd also recommend trying yourself, they're pretty cheap), and it's probably my favorite roast of the selection I've tried so far. Personally I think it's pretty good value, the hipster roasted beans cost twice as much by volume, and maybe I just have no taste but I think these are better lol. Mostly been using these beans with the phin, and that yields some pretty strong coffee, but I've been enjoying it like that.

6 stars?!! Whole beans or ground, the taste is the same. Makes a delicious latte! I prefer whole beans because I grind as I make ‘em. Definitely tastes stronger than other coffees I’ve tried. Versatile with any milk, surprisingly good with Lactaid! even tho I’m not lactose intolerant. Very reasonably priced for the quality & quantity. A must try/have for all coffee lovers!! & I love getting their coffees at Smorgasburg in NYC every summer :)

Great flavor! I've tried several robusta brands and this one is my favorite. No bitterness or harsh undertones. A wonderful morning pick me up.

I've tried many Thai coffees with robusta beans haven't came across one yet that would have some robusta kick

This is a very bold, robusta-forward roast with a strong and distinctive flavor! The quality of this coffee is right up there with specialty with rich aroma and a deep toasty cup. The bag includes instructions for brewing it phin-style, which I thought was an interesting addition! I don't have a phin, so I made it as a regular drip and it still ended up great! The most unique part of the flavor was the "popcorn," tasting note, which I can honestly say comes through clearly in flavor (among the dark chocolate and nutty flavors as well). For value for money, this feels like a solid deal if you are either new to robusta coffees (reasonable entry price) or are a regular enjoyer of them (something a little different from typical blends).

I really enjoy 88 Coffee Company Vietnamese Whole Bean Coffee. It has dark rich beans that yield a deeply robust flavor. I’ve enjoyed it using a Vietnamese Phin Filter, a french press, & an espresso machine. All methods produced a smooth dark cup of coffee that was low on acidity. Today <pictured below> I enjoyed as a shot of espresso. It really hit the spot for an evening boost & a little me time. If you’re a fan of smooth dark roasts without a sharp tangy aftertaste then 88 Coffee Company Vietnamese Coffee would be a lovely addition to your coffee repertoire.
