COLUMBIAN COFFEE (on Colombian Coffee)
jmerrihew | jmerrihew | Mon, 01/30/2012I love it! I like Columbian coffee in general and this was very good. In fact, I took it to work as a treat and it was gone within the week - which was a short week at that! It was full bodied and smooth, which the advertisers call a rich cup. I'm not an advertiser, so rich doesn't cut it for me when I want a good cup of coffee. I think exceptional fits better. Staff found it delightful at 3 p.m. coffee break. It still tasted good even after sitting for a few hours, to everyone's surprise. Try it if you like a good rounded coffee that isn't too strong or weak. Jen
FUN, BUT MISLEADING NAME (on Berkeley Shark Bite ...)
mattabraxas | mattabraxas | Thu, 01/26/2012This roast is smooth. I wouldn't describe it as biting. The acidity is well balanced and not too bitter. Also great price.
OROMIA/ETHIOPIAN (on Oromia Coffee Blend )
bisrutemesgen | bisrutemesgen | Wed, 01/25/2012You just can not get a high quality Ethiopian coffee at this price.
MY WIFE LIKES THIS ONE! (on Mexican Chiapas Coff...)
Steve Lord | Steve Lord | Thu, 01/19/2012As a person with pepsid tabs in her pocket to combat an acid stomach, she found this coffee mild and acid free enough that the pills stay in the pocket.
VERY CLEAN TASTE. (on French Vanilla Kiss ...)
Steve Lord | Steve Lord | Thu, 01/19/2012Noit muddy, very nice. The aroma sets the stage and the cooled down cup can be chugged like cocoa!
LOVE HAZELNUT! (on Hazelnut Dream Coffe...)
deborahedwards714 | deborahedwards714 | Tue, 01/17/2012Great tasting coffee. Love hazelnut!
GREAT FOR ICED COFFEE! (on Pecan Coffee)
Lschoenberger | Mon, 01/16/2012Make delicious iced coffee in my french press: just add cold water and let sit overnight in fridge: Delicious!
SMOOTH AND DELICIIOUS! (on Moka Sumatra Coffee)
boilerwkm | boilerwkm | Tue, 01/10/2012I received this coffee within 3 days of being roasted and the freshness really helps the flavors shine in this blend. Its not quite as harsh as Starbucks Sumatra since the cocoa flavors mellow the punch of the darker roasted Sumatra beans. This a great cup of coffee and I highly recommend it!
PERUVIAN COFFEE (on Peruvian Coffee )
sorcerero69 | sorcerero69 | Sun, 01/08/2012This coffee is smooth and delicious not bitter.
WOULD HAVE BEEN A 4-CUP RATING (on Ring of Fire Coffee )
Liz | Liz | Mon, 01/02/2012If they'd gotten the order right. I guess this review is about not just the coffee but the poor QC of the company providing it—Deans Beans. Ordered coffee ground for espresso and got whole beans. Not the end of the world except—that's not what I ordered. And I didn't have a grinder! !@#$%&#!? Thought about it for awhile. Grabbed a 20% off Bed, Bath and Beyond coupon that I'd almost thrown out with junk mail and hit the stores. Bought a Cuisinart grinder that wasn't very expensive but neither was it too cheap (been down that road before--not worth it). Ground some beans the next morning. Aroma--mmmmm. Taste——— now THAT'S coffee!! I think I've found the dark coffee I've been on safari for. Wonderful in my on-stove Bialetti. I look forward to it every morning. So thumbs down AND thumbs up! (Highly recommend Ring of Fire!)
GREAT TASTE (on Hazelnut Dream SW De...)
colleenremail | Sun, 01/01/2012great taste
TASTY COFFEE (on Birdwatcher's Coffee...)
ekam73 | ekam73 | Sun, 01/01/2012This coffee is very tasty. The roast is a little lighter than I expected though. According to the description here, it protects "critical migratory songbird habitat". I'm not quite sure how that happens, but it sounds good to me.
DELICIOUS COFFEE (on Peruvian Coffee )
ekam73 | ekam73 | Sun, 01/01/2012The Peruvian coffee from Dean's Beans was very tasty. It was smooth and delicious, and not at all acidic like other coffees.
GOOD MORNING COFFEE (on Arctic Sunrise Coffe...)
ekam73 | ekam73 | Sun, 01/01/2012I really liked this kind of coffee. The only issue is that I bought it ground and it kind of clogged up my french press. It was very good flavor-wise though.
SMOOTH COFFEE (on No Co2 Coffee)
ekam73 | ekam73 | Sun, 01/01/2012This coffee was really smooth and tasty. Even my parents who usually don't drink coffee loved this one!
NICE CUP OF BOLD COFFEE (on Berkeley Shark Bite ...)
olsoncleaning | olsoncleaning | Wed, 12/28/2011Coffee is dark and bold with a strong taste. If you're a stong coffee drinker, this one's for you. Much better quality of organic coffee compared to even other expensive heath food store brands.
WONDERFUL CUP OF COFFEE (on Sumatran French Roas...)
olsoncleaning | olsoncleaning | Wed, 12/28/2011A wonderful dark roasted sumatra flavor. You can definitely tell the quality of this coffee compared to the coffee you buy in the grocery store or even heath food grocery stores. This was so fresh and has a wonderful taste.
GREAT SMOOTH TASTING (on Moka Sumatra Coffee)
olsoncleaning | olsoncleaning | Wed, 12/28/2011A smooth tasting sumatra with just a slight hint of chocolate flavor. You definitely notice the difference between grocery store bought coffee compared to this wonderfully fresh roasted quality coffee.
GOOD, BUT NOT EXCEPTIONAL (on Liberation Decaf Cof...)
cdevilbiss | cdevilbiss | Fri, 12/23/2011"Liberation" tastes fine, but we preferred both the lighter Chiapas decaf and the Peru French Roast decaf, and would probably just blend them ourselves rather than buying pre-blended.
SMOOTH FLAVOR (on Uprising! Coffee)
cdevilbiss | cdevilbiss | Fri, 12/23/2011"Uprising!" is smooth and "gentle" in flavor. It's not got as much "personality" as some of the other Dean's Beans flavors we've tried.
