Bean Box - Gourmet Coffee Sampler Plus - Espresso Roast

This is a tremendous idea. Hence why I purchased it. Love the concept of trying new coffees I wouldn't otherwise know about. And smaller samplings are not the problem (see more later) either. All that is excellent...Two major issues, one minor one.Minor one -- I have only seen this with one other whole bean I can remember. But all these left shells or shucking dust everywhere! It was ridiculous. I have no clue if it is the process or the type of bean or what. But it was a mess and I drink a ton of coffee and grind everything in my OXO grinder. Nothing makes the mess this stuff did.Major #1 -- The description is misleading and the packets were WAY smaller than I anticipated and expected. You get literally enough for two big cups of coffee. That in of itself isn't a problem (see above) it is sheer cost for what you get. I can buy an entire bag or 10-16oz of other brands like Door County or New England coffee for that price per each. Unreal.Major #2 -- Not much to say here but none of the coffees I would ever buy, ever. One was so so and the other 3 were dreadful for me. Taste is subjective but in general these were not good coffees. Plain and simple.Wonderful concept, wish it was a better experience I would buy many times over just to try other coffees I don't know about but no way would buy this again!

Good selection, but a small amount of coffee overall relative to its price. Wouldn't recommend overall.

Fantastic customer service. I made a mistake on my order and canceled within under a hour because the product wouldn’t arrive in time for a gift that I needed. Bean Box customer service replied back to me the next business day with a full refund and shipped the bean box anyway for me to enjoy. What business does that? A business that puts their customers first before money. Today I brewed the Drip Blend that was in the box and it blew my head off and knocked my wife off her feet. The coffee was AMAZING! Fresh and roasted with perfection. Probably one of the best coffee we’ve ever had and definitely on our top five list. Because of their customer service and coffee perfection they have gained a new customer that will be placing monthly orders. If you are reading this review and have been debating on placing an order, don’t miss the opportunity to try some of the best coffee ever and place an order NOW.

Got this for my brother as a Xmas gift so can't say how the coffee actually tastes :) I CAN say that it came nicely packaged and though the bags are small, it's meant to be a sampler so that probably should be expected. You can probably get a couple cups out of each one (and tbh some bags seem more full than others??). The "artisan treat" or whatever that came with it was just a tiny piece of chocolate (think jolly rancher sized) so that's not too exciting. I was hoping for biscotti or something like that! NBD though. Also, not sure about "tasting notes" but they're not in the box. I think you have to go to their website to read them. I am giving 5 stars because overall the box is what I expected and I'll be able to package it into a nice gift. Also, superb customer service--responded quickly and offered a great solution to my issue, so I am satisfied and thankful for that. Looking forward to what my brother thinks of this!

A rip off! Although the coffee is decent, the portions are ridiculous, each of the 4 bags are just big enough to make 2 cups of coffee. So in effect you are paying almost $3 a cup of coffee you get to make yourself.

I bought this as a gift for someone that really likes coffee. I'm not talking about the type of person who goes to Starbucks every day and orders a vanilla latte, I'm talking about the casual drinker who takes the time every morning to make a good cup of coffee. Often times, I find that it's hard for people like that to justify the money to buy several different types of coffee at once just to discover their preferences and I think that gifts like this are a perfect way to introduce someone to the world of coffee. He absolutely loves the box not because he loves all the coffee in it, but because it really helped him discover his taste in coffee.

I got the medium roast. I am a barista at starbucks who doesn't really like super bitter tasting coffee. I was looking for blends that I could drink straight and not feel the need to add sugar or milk. This did the trick. Every single one is very smooth and not super bitter. Hands down the best coffee I have had all year. Bonus points because I was able to make it in my own home. I really fell in love with a specific blend in here so I have hunted that company down and bought 5 more bags. It shipped in a timely manner. Came in a instagram worthy box. What more can I say? Other than I highly recommend you get this.

The coffee was good. But neither the quantity nor the quality justified the price.

This was a fantastic buy. The coffee is delicious and it is nice to have a variety of coffee's in one stop shopping. The all in pricing and Fedex shipping was convenient and incredibly fast. Bean Box was quick to answer any questions I had before I placed my order. Would absolutely purchase again. The delivery and customer service exceeded expectations.
