I am used to flavored coffee and pods to use with my Keurig but I have been reacting to all the different pods I trialed. I have gluten and dairy free diet restrictions and can consume this coffee (I put it in a reusable coffee pod) without reactions. I do flavor my own coffee per cup so I cannot comment directly on the taste of this one except that it does not taste bitter like the other non-flavored coffee I have tried.

I bought this coffee on a friend's recommendation and my husband and I can't stop talking about how good it is every time we drink it. I understand now what "full bodied" means. It is strong and flavorful without being overly acidic. I won't be buying the "*Big*bucks" type again.

I drink this coffee every day and love it. However I have found the coffee maker you have very much effects the taste of any coffee. I use a Bunn and it is fantastic in this fast drip method of making coffee. FYI my coffee maker broke and during the time it took me to get a new one I used another type of coffee maker and it was not the same at all.... But I kind of expected that from a previous experience. I love this coffee.

These have become our favorite coffee beans. We recently purchased a Ninja coffee maker and brew on "rich". Absolutely delicious. The club ran out recently so we order online. These coffee beans combined with an excellent coffee brewing machine, like the Ninja, makes some of the best coffee my wife and I have ever tasted. Gives us a good kickstart to take on the rest of the day. Why not start your day off right?

I was sad when the Sam's in Southaven, MS quit selling the Columbian Supremo Whole Bean Coffee. I'm glad to find it online. However, this coffee is the only reason I have continued to keep my 28 year membership going. Understanding that it is now only available online stops my necessity for traveling to the store where I would then purchase more items. Now, I am questioning my membership.

I think this coffee is pretty good for the price. I have found it tastes better with the beans ground a little coarser (as you would for a French press or cold brew) versus fine. That's when I get the chocolate notes. There are still some of the "chemical" notes I get from large-scale coffee like this, but I'm hoping that mellows out over the next few days. Is it a locally roasted, perfectly balanced cup of coffee? No. Is it a solid cup of coffee at a very affordable price? Yes. Next time, I'm going to try the lighter roast of Member's Mark, and would be curious how this compares to the Tim Horton beans...

For years I bought Costco Columbian Beans and loved them. There was a big roaster at my local store with lots of choices of freshly roasted beans, and wow. Then, the roaster disappeared and the Kirkland beans were packaged differently, shipped in and only Columbian was available. So I tried it once. Yuck. Once was more than enough so I started looking for a different source and Sam’s was it. These Maker’s Mark Columbian beans are really good, My wife and I have been very pleased. Our coffee maker grinds and then drips the coffee. The price is also more than fair. To be honest, I was somewhat desperate as we had run through the Starbucks varieties and nothing fit the replacement bill. I saw Sam’s beans, which were on sale, and thought why not try them. I am glad I did. You can talk about chocolate and caramel, dark or medium, or hints of fufu, I don’t care. What I will say is that this smells great as it is brewing and makes a very pleasant cup of coffee. As with any coffee you have to adjust the amount to hit your sweet spot. We came off overly dark, oily and a little bitterish Starbucks so I added a little bit more Sam’s beans and voila, a very pleasant cup of coffee. Try it and see for yourself.

First time I purchased this coffee from Sam's Club I bought one 40 oz. bag of whole bean coffee. Coffee tasted fresh and full bodied. I enjoyed it and it's very good price. We use a lot of coffee so the second time I purchased I bought 3 40 oz. bags of whole bean and picked it up at the local Sam's Club store. I opened a bag marked as whole bean and it was ground, so was one more bag so make sure what's in the bag by feeling the whole beans inside.

Since Millstone stopped carrying Columbian beans I’ve been looking everywhere for a replacement. I settled on 8 o’clock and feared that would be the best I’d every find. Then I took a chance on Member’s Mark. It’s fabulous!! I could tell the difference when I opened the bag - the beans had the natural oil that I saw on the Millstone beans. Not dried out like the other brands I tried. And the taste was what I remembered and feared I’d never find again. And if you make it too strong - just add water. When made with the correct amounts of coffee and water this is the smoothest, most wonderful tasting Columbian coffee I’ve had in years. I bought 6 bags!! If this ever gets discontinued, I want to have plenty on hand. I go by what tastes best (and in this case absolutely awesome) but if you want to know the “science” behind it, read Older User’s review. He’s an expert and he gives this product a thumbs up. This product deserves 10 stars!!!!!

I love this coffee. I drink it every day. I give it away as a gift. I grind the beams with a burr grinder and use a pour-over process to make each cup individually. I use a specific water to coffee ratio and a specific hot water to ground coffee introduction. I admit to being a coffee snob and drink only premium coffee like this one.
