Blue Bottle beans are fresh, flavorful, and expertly roasted. Great for espresso or pour-over—smooth, rich, and always satisfying.

Taste is better than other items, but not as good as roasted ones from weeks ago.

Love Blue Bottle coffees! O my favorite is 3 Africans. Now they have individual packets and instant coffee! Now I can have bring my coffee with me.

Tastes wonderful for a medium. Packs were fresh, received 04/2024 with expiration of 10/2024. Fantastic aroma. It is not bitter at all. Smooth and delicious with a little whole milk. Probably not great with fake milk as with most coffee. I’m impressed. Used it in an espresso machine but I make full cups of coffee with it. Grind setting was 6 and 8, both are great. Too many picky, whiny reviews. Can’t imagine just throwing it away. Unless your packs are close to the expiration, rest assured you’ll enjoy this brew. If they are in fact about to expire, just reach out to Amazon, they’re always helpful and supportive. It’s coffee, folks. And the price is fine considering the times. You can make so many cups. You’d get about 3 beverages from a cafe from the price. My goodness.

This coffee was very tasty and perfect if you struggle with acidity.

Very nice smooth flavor. It’s a staple.

I purchased a bag of the "Balanced" roast which is said to be medium/light. The flavor was more medium/dark. I don't like dark roasted coffee, so this was kind of a letdown. I didn't think to save the bag to check the date, but the coffee also tastes bitter and stale to me. The beans themselves seem to be of questionable quality, as there are many broken pieces in the bag. Maybe I got the bottom of the batch.This is not the worst coffee I've tasted, but it most certainly is the the best. I really hate being wasteful, but I am literally having a difficult time finishing the bag. I'm considering dumping the rest and moving on to my preferred brand, which costs about the same. It is rare that I write a bad review, but I feel this needed to be said.
