Amazon FreshColombia Ground Coffee, Medium Roast, 12 OunceRainforest AllianceRainforest AllianceRainforest AllianceRainforest Alliance

I have tried many Colombian coffees over the years, and this is without a doubt the best daily brew that I would not hesitate to share with discerning company. Is this the best Colombian coffee? No, but when you consider the value proposition: great coffee at bargain prices, the choice is easy. What do I like about the coffee? Well, the aroma is rich and enticing. The cup is smooth without over-acidity. There is a wealth of rich, intense flavor that makes drinking this coffee a pleasurable experience. One last benefit is that it does not keep me up at night. Buy it!

This is the only coffee I actually stick with. It’s smooth, has that perfect hazelnut flavor (not fake or too sweet), and it’s super affordable — unless I forget to order it and end up panic-buying whatever’s on sale. The vanilla one’s great too, but hazelnut is my go-to. And, it's almost always on next day delivery -- which is great - because I almost always forget to order it.If they ever discontinue it, I’m not okay.

Great‑price daily brew that punches above its budget beansPicked up this 2‑lb bag of Amazon Fresh Colombia to replace the pricier boutique roasts draining my grocery budget. I brew a full pot every morning in a drip machine and occasionally run a pour‑over on weekends.### What hits the spot* **Smooth, medium‑bodied cup.** Notes of mild cocoa and a little dried‑berry sweetness—no burnt aftertaste.* **Consistent grind size.** Works straight out of the bag in a standard paper filter; no sludge in the carafe.* **Wallet‑friendly.** Runs roughly half the cost per ounce of my local roaster’s Colombian beans.* **Rainforest Alliance certified.** Nice to see an eco label on a store‑brand option.### Where it falls short* **Non‑resealable packaging.** Once you cut it open it’s wide‑mouth to the world—transferred to an airtight canister to keep it fresh.* **Lighter than some “mediums.”** Dark‑roast fans may find it too gentle; I bump the scoop count by one for a stronger cup.* **Aromatics fade after two weeks.** Flavor stays fine, but the just‑opened scent diminishes quickly without solid storage.### Real‑world impact* **Budget win.** Saved about \$12/month compared with my former brand while still enjoying a genuinely good cup.* **Office crowd pleaser.** Colleagues who normally drown coffee in creamer drink this one black.### Hacks & tweaks* **Vacuum canister or Mason jar** after opening = fresher aroma to the last scoop.* **French press brew** at a 1:14 ratio intensifies body for those who like more oomph.### Who it’s for* Daily coffee drinkers who want quality Arabica without boutique pricing.* Households that go through grounds quickly and appreciate the bigger 32‑oz bag.* Anyone easing into medium roasts from lighter breakfast blends.### VerdictKeep and reorder. The flavor‑to‑cost ratio makes this my new default pantry coffee. Just plan on transferring it to a sealed container and upping the dose if you favor a bolder brew.

I was genuinely surprised by how good this Amazon Basics Colombian ground coffee turned out to be. It brews up smooth with a slightly rich, bitter finish that gives it a nice depth, especially considering the price. I’m using a cheap $20 Mr. Coffee drip machine, and it still comes out grea, so I can only imagine how much better it would taste on a higher-end setup.The aroma is fantastic, both from the bag and in the cup, with a darker, full-bodied scent that really hits when you bring it to your lips. I've tried a lot of budget coffees, and this one easily stands out as one of the best values. Definitely something I’ll keep buying, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for solid coffee without breaking the bank.

Fresh coffee flavor with a standard grind (or perhaps very slightly finer than the usual grocery store pre-ground stuff), a moderately nutty comfort in the aroma and taste, satisfyingly leaning towards a comfortable, cozy blanket-like experience. Definitely not a dark roast, none of those sharp points or harshness. Despite being sold for regular coffee use, it still performed well in our home espresso machine, delivering a multilayered, tasty concentrate with good crema and a muted, comforting aftertaste. Note - we've exclusively been using a Rok press to get an intense, concentrated shot - I can not tell you what results to expect from an ordinary drip, percolator, or frenchpress. If my guess is worth anything, I'd say the comforting nutty mildness would show up in a similar way.

This is a light roast. It is aromatic but lacks flavor and the caffeine content is disappointingly low. I found myself using a few more scoops than usual trying to get a good cup from it. Won’t buy again.

Tried the bold flavor today and loved it. I like this mich better than the light brew. Bold helps give me that wake up kick. It is smooth to the taste. It's a rich flavor brew and good quality and amount for price. Rich and robust brew.

I bought three bags of this coffee, and two of them arrived with slight tears which resulted in coffee grounds inside of the shipping box. The tears were small, so after brewing a pot to determine whether the coffee was still fresh (it was, see below), I removed the rest of the coffee from the two torn bags and vacuum-sealed their contents.The coffee was excellent...great aroma, well-balanced acidity, no bitterness (hooray!), and a long aftertaste. Highly recommended if you prefer lighter roasts. And unlike the Amazon Columbian coffee that's labeled as medium roast but in reality is closer to dark, this coffee is indeed a light roast.I noticed in the reviews that others have also complained about torn bags. I actually wonder whether the packaging robots are the cause, versus the bags themselves being substandard. Either way, I hope the issue gets fixed before I place another order.
