BROOKLYN SIGNATURE BLEND | Whole Bean Coffee | 1 LB Bag | Medium – Dark Roast Level - Bold & Balanced | Premium 100% Arabica Origin

I was surprised to read that many found this coffee bland. Did they order ground or fresh whole bean? And if whole bean, how was it ground and in what way brewed? It's not just the coffee bean that makes a great cup of coffee, even though that is 80%, how it is brewed is also very very important and when the bean is ground and how it is ground is also integral in making that perfect cup. If you grind your coffee too fine, you will find your cup more strong and bitter; if too course, it will be weaker and yes, more bland. If your coffee maker is a fast brew, those are the best as it forces the water through at a fast pace exacting the taste and caffeine perfectly. If you brew in an older machine where the water tends to sit in the coffee before forcing it through, your coffee will become more bitter and even taste old, even if your beans are fresh. Also, are you using city water or fresh bottled water or purified water? There again, it makes a monumental difference in brewing the perfect cup!!So people, before writing a review on the coffee itself, test yourself and examine how you are brewing. You will be amazed at what you learn and find with each cup!!I have been a taster of coffee beans for years and have traveled to Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and South America to experience and taste at its highest. Indeed blessed...so when I write and review coffee beans, I truly do the best and be as honest as I can be taking into account every possibility.So as far as this coffee goes, I have purchased this many times and have never had a bad batch. I found it fresh in both taste and smell. The beans always have had that oily look, which is what one looks for in freshness. Take a bean and crush i, then taste and smell; you will find you can learn a lot from a bean this way.The last time I received this, it was not in the normal packaging but in a plain brown wrapper without all the company info, people complained about this; therefore, the coffee was removed. In all honesty...REALLY??... who cares how the coffee comes or what is delivered in -- whether a can, company paper or a plain brown wrapper. As long as its fresh and meets tasting standards, which this does, does it really matter??!!I've enjoyed this coffee and hope you do too. Sorry to hear that is has been removed due to customer complaints.Amazon, I urge you to bring it back ASAP!!

Smooth tasting coffee. I will purchase again and again. Very pleased

Would definitely buy again ! Also purchased as a Christmas gift due to its great quality and taste.

Not the best coffee for the price but not bad either, I’d buy Jamaican Blue Mountain instead

I’ve been disappointed by most of the coffee I’ve purchased from Amazon. This is the only brand that’s comparable to Inteligentsia, but more affordable. My wife and I agree and will get more once I finish the other bag from these guys. It’s also nice not to have a bag that fights me. It’s 2019 ... you’d think a good bag would be more common. A nice detail. This coffee is worth a try if you like med-to-dark roast. It’s rich without being harsh.

I like a blond/ light coffee and my husband likes a bold/ dark roast. This one works for both of us - no bitterness, just smooth coffee flavor. This is my new go to for everyday and for guests.

I started with Chocolate Indulgence and then tried Southern Pecan. Now that I grind my own now and then, I decided on these beans. I am not surprised that they are wonderful. As another reviewer said, this is my favorite coffee company. I'm a Texas gal who is proud to say, "I love New York!"

I brew this coffee in my ninja drip coffee maker..Every morning I have the best cup of coffee you could brew at home.I even brew a extra mug of coffee to go!I love this coffee… I enjoy the same flavor of coffee with every cup
