Boyer's Coffee Espresso Whole Bean, 36 oz.

The amazing and delicious aroma emitting from the unopened coffee bag and shipping package was the first indication of something special on the inside. The rich and bold smell of the coffee beans had my mouth watering the moment I opened the packaging. The beans looked and smelled amazing. The magic really happened after grinding and placing a couple of scoops in the coffee maker for the first cup. The end state was a nice rich, bold, and flavorful cup of coffee that definitely satisfies your tastebuds and much needed caffeine fix. If you want to take it up a notch, you can add the fresh grounds to your espresso machine for a shot or two to kick start or help you punch through the remainder of your day.

IMHO whole bean coffee is the way to go, grind it yourself in small batches and brew it before it sits too long (even in a sealed container). These beans are dark black and just the right amount of oil; good fresh and not over-heated. The coffee is dark and rich in flavor (I use my espresso machine) it has very little bitterness to it and it is just dang good coffee. I can't attest to making it in a drip maker, but an espresso roast (for an espresso type bean) is worth the money!
