Yaucono

Always good! Delicious.

Way better coffee than Starbucks!!!!

I love coffee. As a coffee lover (but not a connoisseur, mind you), I have tried coffee from all over the world, thanks to Amazon. I am actually a product tester for some coffee distributors on Amazon. I DID NOT receive a sample of this coffee in exchange for a review. Instead, my little brother called me and told me I absolutely had to try this brand of coffee. I was skeptical, as I usually am regarding "greatest coffee I ever tasted" claims. But, he is my brother, so I figured I would humor him and give this stuff a shot. I am really glad I did! He told me it would provide me that much loved caffeine kick, and was he ever right! I have looked all over for the type of coffee bean Yaucono uses, but I cannot find it. I suspect it is some type of Arabica bean, but I can't be certain. Anyway, regardless of the bean type, this stuff has one heck of a kick! But, unlike some coffees with a lot of caffeine, it was not acidic. My stomach is rather sensitive, so I was afraid this would give me trouble. Alas, it did not. It is exceptionally smooth and just made for a great cup of coffee.I use a Jura Capresso superautomatica machine to brew my coffee. It is one of those machines that grinds the beans and brews the coffee in one action after you push a button. It allowed me to try this coffee in a variety of coffee drinks. First, just a plain cup of black coffee was delicious. Like I said above, it is just super smooth and rich tasting. I also tried it as an espresso shot, which was very tasty. I think I liked that the most for a quick morning wake up. I also made a couple of lattes with it, which was really good. If you do not like black coffee, a latte with frothed half and half is absolutely amazing with this blend. Finally, I added some shots of hazelnut coffee syrup to the latte and it paired very well.All in all, I am thrilled my little brother called me about this coffee. I have never visited Puerto Rico, but if they drink this kind of coffee all the time, I have really missed out! Although I get a lot of coffee super cheap, I will not hesitate to pay full price for this coffee and always have it on hand. No regrets here!

Whole beans only, good if you have a grinder.

Wow! - I never thought my wife would ever _PREFER_ drinking her coffee (the only way good coffee should be drunk) BLACK! For the last week she has requested her coffee straight!I, a true-believer in 100% Kona coffee, never thought I'd would find _any coffee_ that could compete with the coffee I enjoyed on the big island several years ago - including Jamaica Blue Mountain. Cafe Yaucono Original Coffee Beans have rich flavor and an unbelievable low acid content - It must be tasted to be believed.I wish to thank our good friend, Armando L. Cruz-Rodz (an ordained Deacon - among other things), who was born and raised in Adjuntas, Puerto Rico - I took his word one Sunday morning that nothing compares to the coffee grown in his neck of the woods. He is true to his word, and will be receiving a bag of "Café de Puta Madre Whole Bean", the coffee grown in Adjuntas, Puerto Rico, as a "thank you for sharing" gift - and not just the coffee.PS. Google "Café de Puta Madre Whole Bean" - At ~$71.11 for two pounds, this is a bargain! I'm not sure how much better Café de Puta Madre Whole Bean is from Cafe Yaucono Original Coffee Whole Bean - But I'm am sure to try it out - soon!Fortes* Great taste* Good buy* Very Low Acid* Started something that Kona couldn't (i.e. my wife drinking black coffee)Foibles* None25 April 2016 UPDATE:My wife and I have nearly consumed our Café de Puta Madre Whole Bean purchase. While the Café de Puta Madre Whole Bean may have a slight edge regading taste and smoothness, at $13.99 per pound versus $35.56 per pound, there is no contest.06 September 2019 UPDATE: 18 bags latter and nothing has changed - Tastes just as good as the first time I purchased this coffee!STILL HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Suprised to see so many reviews with high rating, I gave this coffee a try. Good, not great! It is overrated.It failed my strict bar to consider a coffee as a gourmet coffee. It didn't have any fine intersting notes. It was not oily in appearance. More importantly, I would not drink as a black coffee (without adding milk) as it had a little sour flvaor when concentated (4-6 table spoones per 8 oz), unlike some finer but more expensive coffee (e.g. Britt). On the other hand, it is not bad and there is more of it at the same price per ounce. So I would give it 4 stars. It is a good backup option that is less likely to run out compared to finer coffee purchased in smaller batches.

Love Cafe yaucono, the quality is always there and brings back so many memories, the taste is so smooth and rich, and always has that strength, a great value,

Great value
