Love the container

I usually purchase Starbucks french roast dark coffee but it was not in stock so I purchased this instead thinking to try it because it was available and cheaper $16.98 for 40 oz versus $24 and 98 cents for 40 oz of the Starbucks brand. This was a mistake because I find the flavor of the member mark ran coffee to be rather bland. I find that I often don't break more than half a cup because I don't find it flavorful or satisfying. I'm considering throwing the remainder out and not using it.

Something changed. I know the packaging changed which is fine by me. I empty it into a coffee container to keep it fresh anyway. The coffee, however, does not taste the same as it did when it was in the bag. Doesn't taste fresh and not the creamy aroma-filled coffee I used to buy. After trying 3 cartons of the new packaging, I'm done. Will be buying a different brand.

We have been buying this coffee for years. I still prefer the old 48oz can over the plastic bag and the new 40oz cardboard box. I'm glad I kept one of the old coffee cans to refill so the coffee stays fresh longer. MM coffee has always been bold and rich with a smooth taste which we love.

I've bought the bagged version of this coffee for a long time and always felt it delivered good taste at a great price. Since they switched the packaging to the cardboard box, the quality has decline. The coffee is now a finer grind, which seems to be too fine for my coffee maker (a standard drip machine). Water cannot pass through the grounds, so it constantly backs up in the filter basket. It requires lots of stirring and mess to eventually get the coffee to drip into the pot. Additionally, the new packaging is bulky and annoying to open and close.

Haven't tasted the coffee but I wanted MM to know that I bought this simply due to the new packaging. I am tired of plastic and aluminum cans. I am hoping this isn't coated with plastic inside and if it's not and the coffee is decent, I will continue to buy it just for the packaging. I will report back once I taste it.

I've had Member's Mark before and have never been disappointed. This batch however was gross. Bad batch? I tried 2 pots to rule out human error, but one was just as bad as the other. I can usually push through a bad batch, but not this time. It was undrinkable.

Why don't you have this in beans any more??

Good coffee and the packaging seems more environmentally friendly!

Good coffee for the price
