Omg. The smell alone will get you and yes it taste just as good as it smells. Its bold and flavorful. The beans are a dark rich brown. Full of flavor. Its a 40oz bag. Love that its resealable so it stays fresh. Although it tasts so good it won't last long.

My favorite coffee of all the Members Mark brand! I love the full body and rich flavor of this coffee. I add a pinch of kosher salt during brewing to bring out the wonderful flavors of this coffee. A must have for coffee lovers at a reasonable price.

These are really excellent beans. Four stars are given rather than five only because I feel that some of the "brand name" beans sold by Sams, which I usually purchase, are noticeably darker in color and I feel make a richer cup of coffee. That said, for anything other than drinking straight shots of espresso, say in a latte for example, these are a more than satisfactory beans.

This coffee smells amazing! Great quality. This is the full bean so you have to grind it. We have a grinder and don't mind using it, I feel like it makes it fresh and enhances the flavor. This is definitely a generous sized bag, I'm probably going to keep it in the freezer because it'll just be my husband and I using it. It's a dark roast which I love because it has more of that rich coffe flavor. Great with creamer :)

We wanted to do the grinding and preparation. We got this to home and enjoyed the aroma, the satisfaction of holding and preparing real coffee for ourselves is something that we enjoy. It's dark and seeds are easy to grind. And there we did brick n mortar of coffee making. Enjoying with family

Having to grind beans is an extra step sometimes people don't have in their busy life. But fresh ground coffee is a big deal for a lot of people. This coffee is definitely fine. Good flavor. Not bitter. Actually for a dark roast, you get the nice dark notes without getting too much bitterness. So I definitely recommend the coffee. If you are person who can taste the difference between fresh ground and buying pre-ground, then you'll probably enjoy this coffee. Any marks against it are because of the fact that it needs to be ground and also that the directions on the bag are very odd.

If you want a coffee that actually tastes like coffee—dark, intense, and unapologetic—this is it. This isn't a delicate, fruity light roast; it's a deep, smoky, "get-out-of-bed" brew that delivers every single morning. Pros:

Not sure if we got a bad batch, or what, since this was our first time buying whole bean French Roast at Sam's Club. The beans smelled and looked wonderful, but the taste was bitter and NO good, no matter which setting we used on our professional grade coffee machine.

Great whole bean coffee , definitely need a good coffee grinder. Rich flavor .. would recommend if your serving alot of people or if your a real coffee lover the serving is a big for just a single person I don't feel like I can drink it fast enough

The beans are in a vacuum sealed bag. The dark roast coffee is good for a cup of drip or to be used in espresso type drinks. There is a slight bitterness to the coffee but it is smooth and full bodied.
