I'm certainly not a coffee snob--but I love the idea of finding good deals, or the intersection of "good taste" vs. price. I bought 12 oz of this coffee, and one cup in, I'm impressed.The beans are oily and dark--I love that. I don't know if "oily" is good or bad, but I like that in my whole-bean coffee. The beans smell.... weird. Like steel? Not good. The smell of the beans before grinding smells like machinery... or something. I was worried.Then I ground them and put them in my Aeropress. Some sugar and half/half into the cup--and the coffee actually TASTES.... good! There might be a slight aftertaste of that "machinery" smell/taste.... but I'm not sure I'd notice it if I wasn't looking for it.Summary: Don't smell it, drink it. I don't think you can beat the value.

I’m always purchasing this coffee. It’s affordable, strong and tastes yummy.

I've been drinking Seattle's Best Post Alley Blend for the last, I guess, 4 years. Lately, though, they've been a little thin on the ground (honors to Elrond) and have a terrible delivery time. Deciding that a little waiting for the best, I followed Prime's suggestion and ordered a couple of these packages.Well, I'm halfway through my first bag and, since Prime's promised my 6 bags this evening by 9pm and I've decided to give the unopened bag to my friend who, having survived COVID but lost her senses of smell and taste, won't gripe about it.Below there's a 20 year veteran USN CPO who says that this is NOT ploof coffee. I hate to take issue with one of the vertebrae of the backbone of the worlds best fighting force ever, but, Chief, your taste buds have been dissolved by that swill they serve in the Goat Locker. This AmazonFresh stuff tastes like dark roast Waffle House, hour old coffee!! Not quite, YUCK! but it's off in that direction.Prime listed this as "similar" to the Post Alley brand. Well it IS coffee. And it IS dark roast. I guess that makes it "similar" but I don't think it's worth using in a pinch. I'll try something else, I next time.Fair winds and following seas to you all and Happy New Year!Oh, and PS, I don't really know what "ploof" means. Sounds pejorative, though...must be a Chief's Mess thing. ;-) Good on ya, Chief!!! And all your Mates!!

I ordered AmazonFresh Dark Roast Whole Bean and used it in my, admittedly decrepit, automatic drip... and thought it was one of the more lackluster coffees I'd ever had. I felt like there was nothing to distinguish it.I brewed it in my moka pot - and got a whole different animal. Dark, rich, with cedar-y notes. It really does lend itself to brewing in a moka pot, because there is no trace of bitterness in it and the moka pot can sometimes enhance those darker flavors.If you brew this in an espresso machine or a moka pot, I don't think you will be disappointed especially given the budget price. Other brewing methods, you may not get the most out of it.I realize this is a blend and that the coffees used may vary week to week or more frequently, but it would be nice if there was some way to put the countries of origin on it and be able to update that list on the fly for every batch. I realize that this is an idle pipe dream for a $0.50 per ounce coffee, but one can ask. ;)

I'm a huge fan of dark strong roasts, and this roast was most definitely hit right out of the ballpark by Amazon. There is no burned, bitter aftertaste even when extra strong coffee is brewed. It's very smooth and velvety. Reminds me of certain French roast taste from famous Seattle coffee roasting company. I'm thoroughly enjoying this coffee!Making this coffee is easy, just grind up the beans to your desired consistency and use it in any drip coffee maker. Single serve extra fine ground is my preference.On the side note, packaging could be a bit more robust, complete with a degassing valve. But at this price point I find it hard to complain.

Good tasete and value
