Great coffee!
Great product. I purchased it probably around 10 bags already. Great taste, not bitter, easy on the stomach. I will keep buying it.

Organic no pesticides
I found this coffee three or so years ago at costco, it was like really a great price. Costco quit carrying it and I also have canceled membership since I rarely shopped there. It is really excellent coffee and the 2lb size is great. It wakes you up in the morning and has naturally low acid. It is my go to coffee and I’ve tried most low end to high in coffee. The bag has great design and it’s very functional to use just seal it back up. We always get the whole beans and grind as needed using storage containers for both one for whole beans and one for ground to make it easier. This is also organic, coffee is one of the most heavily pesticide sprayed plants. Organic is the way to go and grown on soil that have no heavy metals. I’m not 100% on this one for heavy metals but it is a clean environment.

Organic. But a little over-roasted for my taste.
I originally gave this coffee 3 stars, but I don't think that's really fair when it was purely based on personal preference and taste on the roast. The organic growing methods and ethics in sourcing the beans are hugely admirable and important and deserve 5 stars. The roast, however, to me was a bit over-done. So I'll give the roast 3 stars. I'm giving the coffee 4 stars for now overall. Put it this way- I'm very picky with coffee (and only drink it black so no sugar and cream to cover up taste issues), have tried a bunch of organic brands/roasts, and still I'll be ordering this again in the future.-------------This coffee was a bit over-roasted for my taste, and was a bit burnt and ashy... Other reviews noted the same thing, so I first tried the Dan Pablo light roast. But this was almost undrinkable because the roast was too light. The beans were dry, and the coffee was just sour tasting. I only ever drink coffee black (no sugar or cream), so the coffee has to stand on its own. My goal is to find a great organic coffee for espresso (I use a Mazzer Mini grinder and Expobar Office Lever espresso machine). I also use a French press, but I've found that if I can make a good espresso with a coffee, then I can also make a good French press. But not the other way around. The light roast was unusable for espresso, so I used it up with the French press which was more or less tolerable. Maybe if you use sugar and cream it would balance the weak sour taste... But it was no good for me.So next I tried the medium-dark roast. The beans were nice and oily and the smell was ok, but this coffee turned out to be a bit TOO roasted, so that it tastes somewhat ashy and burnt. It makes a drinkable espresso and French press, but not great. There's a perfect roast just before the coffee starts to turn burnt and ash-tasting, but this missed it.Here's the thing-- every batch of coffee has the opportunity to be great, or under or over roasted. It's an art... I'll only drink organic coffee, because non-organic coffee is one of the most pesticide-contaminated crops, and I have no desire to get cancer or any of the other problems caused by pesticides. Preferably fair-trade, shade grown, etc. But however good the beans are, it doesn't matter if the roast doesn't turn out just right. So maybe one time you order and get amazing coffee, then are disappointed the next time because it's over- or under- roasted. This happened to me with my favorite organic coffee, Ruta Maya roasted in Austin, Texas. There were times where the smell was absolutely heavenly as soon as you opened the bag, and I could make a great espresso every time. But then they started over-roasting so the coffee (medium roast) tasted burnt and ashy. I really don't like that taste. So I started trying different organic coffees.It's such a problem finding that really good roast that I'm starting to think about learning to roast my own coffee... I'd rather not, since it sounds really difficult and expensive. But that's also why I'll be trying the Dan Pablo Medium-Dark roast again.

A few years ago I had received a few small bags of ground coffee that go on sale during the holidays. I forget exactly which one it was but the flavor and brew tasted perfect. It might have been the Ghirardelli brand and It was the best cups of coffee I've ever had. I own a Keurig and enjoy Starbucks coffee but this holiday pack of coffee seriously tasted the best. It was creamy, robust, and not bitter at all. With that said, Keurig and Starbucks brew excellent coffee but nothing compared to that once in a lifetime cheap gift bag. I have no idea why that coffee tasted amazing. All I can think of is the combination of beans, roast, grind, freshness, hint of chocolate and brew that made it the most enjoyable cup of coffee. Perhaps it was partially my morning breath or the amount of chemicals in the water that day, who knows. Anyway, onto the review of this organic coffee...I just got done drinking an entire pot of this stuff that was brewed in my percolator brewer, Texsport 9 Cup Stainless Steel Percolator Coffee Maker for Outdoor Camping and the coffee tasted fantastic! It reminded me of that once in a lifetime cheap gift bag coffee. I'm so thrilled since this coffee has become the best tasting coffee I've ever had. The reason I ordered this 2lb bag is because I want to save the Kcups for the weekday convenience and brew this on the weekends. My wife and I drink way too many Kcups during the week and need to come up with a new plan for our massive coffee consumption. During the weekend I end up drinking several Kcups and wanted to start brewing pots again which is the primary reason for the percolator.# Pros- Medium-dark was exactly as I expected. I like bold coffee but not burnt tasting like Starbucks and not weak like McD's.- Beautiful beans. Grabbed a handful for inspection prior to shoving them into the manual grinder.- By far the best tasting coffee brewed in my percolator.- Organic and I like what they are doing.- Best quality for the price.- Rich and creamy bold flavors, hint of chocolate. Not bitter or sour tasting.# Cons- None.With the pros and cons out of the way, I would like to mention; I'm no "coffee connoisseur" and don't pretend that I'm an expert in taste testing coffee. I simply enjoy drinking coffee. I remember that gift bag coffee being one of the best I've ever brewed. Sure I have a problem and need to have my morning coffee, my afternoon coffee, and evening coffee... I'm a software developer by trade and I drink a lot of coffee. The best coffee is the one that you remember and sure it could be McD's, Tim Hortons, etc... I've consumed a lot of coffee from numerous coffee shops here and have not experienced the "wow" moment like I did with that cheap gift bag coffee and I did with this. I have brewed so many different K-cups and the brands I enjoy the most are the Newman's Own and San Francisco Bay Fog Chaser. If you enjoy those brands, I recommend this coffee but please note, this coffee does not taste like the brands mentioned.For those wondering about brewing this in a percolator... I ground the coffee beans in a manual grinder - Most Consistent Hand Coffee Grinder & Coffee Press - Ceramic Burr Manual Coffee Grinder fits in Aeropress - set on a course grind setting (kosher salt). I use the water from my RO system. 1 heaping table spoon of grinds per cup. Watched the glass viewer on the percolator get to the right color. Pour and enjoy.
