San Francisco Bay Coffee Whole Bean, Colombian Supremo, 32 Ounce by San Francisco Bay Coffee

We've been getting San Francisco Bay Coffee for over a year now. It is definitely our favorite coffee bean (so far) for our little French Press. Highly recommend

Supposed to be a medium roast but it turned out to be more like a French roast. Very dark with lots of oil on the beans. Avoid at all cost if you intend to use a V60 with this Taste is absolutely horrendous if one is used to specialty roasted beans.

Nothing quite compares to the energising scent and tantalising taste of a well-brewed cup of coffee. From the first moment you open the bag of Colombia Supremo, you are greeted with the irresistible aroma of the freshly roasted beans. Well, obviously these beans are not super freshly roasted, but the sensory experience is almost as satisfying as the coffee itself, signalling the extraordinary taste that awaits you. The beans smell incredible, promising a flavour profile that is indeed delivered upon brewing. The Colombia Supremo is a smooth, medium-roast coffee that encapsulates the very essence of the Colombian coffee tradition. Each cup brewed from these beans is free of bitterness, full of rich flavour, and crowned with a lovely crema that speaks to its high quality. The remarkable taste profile of this coffee is accentuated by delightful notes of rich caramel. This subtle sweetness harmoniously balances the depth of the coffee, creating a complex yet easy-drinking brew. It’s a unique taste sensation that sets this coffee apart and leaves you longing for the next cup. It's an absolute must-try for coffee connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike. This coffee is, quite simply, amazing.

At £7.49 for almost 1 kilo of Columbian coffee beans, what's not to like! I usually buy 'fresh' at around £15+ a bag - and wasn't expecting much at such a budget price. On first inspection, the beans looked fairly oily - so was hesitant to grind in my premium grinder. Used my first batch in a Moccamaster - and was pleasantly surprised at the taste - which had loads of flavour. Not idea when these were roasted (if that matters really) but for the price, it can't be beaten. Haven't tried in my espresso machine - with a much finer grind yet - but doubt it would disappoint. I usually go for a light roast, that have been freshly roasted - but if you like filter coffee, you won't be disappointed.

The flavor is smooth and well-balanced, not too acidic and not bitter. It has a clean finish with subtle notes that make it easy to drink black, but it also pairs really nicely with a splash of cream ir milk.
