Ethiopian Coffee, Yirgacheffe Region, USDA Organic, Ground, Kosher, Fresh Roasted, 16-ounce

Yummy! The best coffee!

Very nice med to light beans. Smells sweet and floral. Mild acid. Great unique flavor you can recognize and appreciate over other beans. Really excellent. I brew in my xbloom studio and my coffee is next level. Facts.

So.... when it says " We keep tight supplies so nothing sits over 30 days"... Mine was 32 days old from date of manufacture to date of shipping. Splitting hairs I guess. My real complaint was the grind. I ordered it ground, yet it was very uneven large chunks and fine powder (dull blade grind?). This was not suitable for french pressing. I can use this for drip only. Don't get me wrong, the taste is ok for my drip, but a little bitter from the grind most likely. I purchased this for my french press weekends and was disappointed. ***** UPDATE ***** So I felt was a bit unfair regarding the "grind" issue. I've enjoyed the coffee in my old drip for 3 days now and it's EXCELLENT COFFEE. Buying the beans next time :)

I've tasted coffees from all over the world and this Ethiopian coffee was a delicacy of coffee for me. Truly hard to beat. I will continue to purchase this great brew.

Maybe Yirgacheffe is just not for me, but this is not exactly a pleasing tasting cup. I'll admit, the first time I brewed it was half my fault, as it was under extracted and very sour. I had to power through the first two brews, as they were SOUR. Dairy did not help at all, either. Most of this initial sourness seemed to be due to under extraction. I found that the water was not getting enough time to interact with the beans, because the pre-ground beans were too coarsely ground, so it was dripping down through to the carafe too quickly. I ground the pre-ground beans even finer in my manual burr grinder until the texture was closer to a medium sand, then I tried again with a pour over brew: the resulting cup was MUCH more palatable. That being said, there's still a rather noticeable acid flavor that I'm not fond of. If you enjoy more acids in your cup of joe, then this might be perfectly fine for you! It's not SUPER strong, now that I've found that grinding it finer helps a lot, but I think I just prefer something less acidic.
