I enjoy Sumatra beans from my local roaster on a regular basis, so I wanted to try buying in bulk to take into the office. Since I like my coffee bold, I ordered this instead of the regular Sumatra. Calling it “dark” is an understatement. I actually had to scale back the grounds in my French press about 40% – this stuff will punch you in the face twice and steal your car! This turned out to be a blessing in disguise: We normally use 6-7 scoops in our 12-cup automatic at work, but with this we only need 3 or 4 at the most.
Kudos to CBD for actually meaning what they say when they say “dark”! And the actual flavor, once you wrangle control of the strength back, is quite good. Just heed this fair warning: If you find yourself wondering what a 12-cup pot of espresso would taste like, this coffee is for you. Otherwise, you may want to try the regular Sumatra first.
I absolutely love this coffee. Great full bodied flavor with none of the acidity.
This is the first CBD order we’ve been unsatisfied with. The beans appear to be freshly roasted as expected, but the brew elicits a strong char flavor, overpoweringly bitter. In the past, we’ve found CBD to be a fantastic deal at Amazon, but sadly not so in this case.
I am sampling Coffee Bean Direct’s flavors (we go through about one 5 lb. bag per month), and I am quite happy with this. It has a definite dark flavor, but is also quite smooth. I have enjoyed it in my French press as well as my moka espresso pot.
