AmazonFresh Go For The Bold Ground Coffee, Dark Roast, 12 Ounce (Pack

Customer Reviews

Spend a bit more and get something else!Amazon issued me a refund and told me to do as I wished with the coffee as they don't take returns on that sort of thing that has been opened.First off I thought this was whole bean and it was ground. The first whole bean I had in my cart was 'prime pantry' and they wanted to charge an extra $7.99. As a prime member this stuff should be included. At the price point and based of reviews I figured I'd give this stuff a try. That being said, I unfortunately made my first pot of Amazon Fresh bold this morning and quite honestly I could have gotten the same flavor result out of folgers or Maxwell house. It tastes like the beans were burnt and it leaves a rancid after taste. I'm not sure if Amazon accepts returns on open stuff like this, but if they do I would surely get my money back.1Coffee that is drinkable and contains CaffeineThis wasn t the best coffee I ve ever had but it certainly wasn t the worst. For the price point you get a ton of coffee. If you re on a budget, this easily can make coffee for a month (or two if you don t make 12cups at a time). Shipping was quick as usual. Only wish it came with a scoop already in.If you re a fan of the sawdust, back of an AA meeting, truck stop, sitting in grandmas cupboard for the last 6 years, has war stories that would make you lose sleep , slightly racist comments but means well, always mows the lawn on Saturday @ 7 am, has never hugged their child, cries during the national anthem at a baseball game that is Folgers or Maxwell House, you probably will think this is too strong, too expensive or what those liberals drink If you re a fan of local, fair trade, naturally grown, read a bedtime story, home schooled, sunshine and stars, would ve voted for Barack a 3rd term, health store, dreadlocked, organic coffee....you probably won t think this coffee tastes homegrown enough. Or you won t be looking for coffee on Amazon in the first place.5Very, very disappointing productSince Amazon purchased Whole Foods, I figured these products on line would be superior quality. Boy was I wrong here. I did buy several different excellent coffees on amazon recently, to compare, but this one greatly disappoints. Very surprising. Opening the bag, the smell is excellent but I ve seen this before in bitter drinking coffees. They have a great nose but the flavor is inferior, and here I dare say bad . Interestingly, I ve had similar bad experiences at Whole Foods with some of their organic coffees having a bitter flavor, whether you brew it strong or moderate. Something wrong with the Amazon buyers who have stocked up on these Arabica beans. Once a month I purchase a bag of various coffees from Starbucks and this never happens, no matter which country s beans I select I m very pleased (though I m not wild about that company s liberal politics or some of the attitudes of their baristas). Note to Amazon: when you put your name on the bag, you own the quality so I would definitely investigate these bean buyers and a cost relationship to quality. I suppose when you buy in large quantities, the growers treat you to their best coffees and then when they ship large quantities, they substitute inferior beans. Same things happen with wines that receive a Wine Spectator 90+ rating as they expand quantity.1I think it's pretty terrificEveryone has different tastes. There, I said it. I have lots of coffees and espressos and machines. My friend owns a coffee company and I have tried a lot of stuff. When your household drinks a lot of coffee you can't spend a lot. I like fairly strong coffee and I do like Starbucks coffees, most especially their espresso. I like Green mountain's Dark magic. So with that said, for the money, I think this Amazon coffee is pretty darn good. So far, it's the best bang for the buck I have found. It has a flavor profile really like none I've had. Give it a try if your tastes sound like mine.5Drinkable but not enjoyableIt is drinkable as cold brew with almond milk added, but we don't like it in French press. I thought I could save money and get coffee by Amazon that tastes as good as what we'd been buying (Koffee Kult dark roast), but I was wrong! I put it somewhere between Midwest gas station coffee and Koffee Kult. We're going to splurge on some fantastic local beans (A Hill of Beans in Omaha - they ship!) to make up for this sad bag.2NOT BOLDWe enjoy a bold coffee - this is not bold - poor smell when opened - seemed no smell at all. When brewed had to double the amount to get any flavor. would not buy again.2Taste is OK, Nothing SpecialBecause of all the great reviews, I had high hopes for this coffee. Upon opening the package, which by the way, was not vacuumed sealed even though a valve is in the bag, I noticed immediately that the grind was somewhat coarser than I expected. The color was good, sort of on par with Peete's Major Dickinson, but again just standard looking coffee. I made the coffee using a Melitta filter in the pour-over method which produced a drinkable cup of coffee which was on par with what you would find in a better diner. if you're a coffee aficionado or a coffee snob, this is not the coffee for you. And it's not the coffee for me. I quickly came to realize that, for a few dollars more I could buy a much better Bean or pre-ground coffee. Again, this is not to say that it's a bad cup of coffee, it's just an average cup of joe.3Yuck.Learn from my mistake! Turn back now!I made the mistake of skimming through reviews, not realizing that most positive reviews were for other flavors/roasts and not the Dark Roast. The Dark Roast is just awful -- I don't even think I can do this justice by trying to explain how bad it is. It somehow managed to taste simultaneously bland and burned/acrid. The closest comparison I can think of would be stale gas station coffee. I can't believe I ordered 32 ounces of this stuff. I guess I can use it as garden fertilizer.1Not RecommendedI truly enjoy a good bold coffee. This coffee was a disappointment. So much so, that I discarded 2 1/2 packages as unfit to consume.As I opened the package the smell was not of a good robust coffee, but rather is had a strange and undesirable order. After brewingmy first pot of coffee, and each subsequent pot, I would get nasty heart burn after drinking just one cup of the freshly brewed coffee.After experiencing the heart burn experience with every cup I drank, I decided that the best course of action for me was to get rid of it.I would not recommend this coffee to anyone, and I certainly will not purchase it again. I would suggest if a decision is made to try thiscoffee that you purchase one bag and give it a try. I purchased the 3-pack - a BIG mistake.2Yikes.I love good coffee. I love less than good coffee. This coffee, though. Ugh. It wasn t bad when I made it in the drip coffee maker. Not good by any means. But it didn t wreck my morning. It s a little acrid, dark without depth of flavor.I made some afternoon coffee in a French press just moments ago. Goodness gracious!! It s absolutely horrendous. How? Usually coffee is better in a French press? It s so acrid. Reminds me of the aftertaste of a cigarette, honestly.It s inexpensive coffee but it s somehow not worth it.2
