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.

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...

I am very impressed with this coffee. The price per pound is great for what you get. We used one of the regional brands before trying this. We went back to that brand for one bag and found we preferred this over the other brand. I would definitely recommend giving this a try. I use an automatic drop but I am also wanting to try this using the pour-over and cold brew methods as well in the future.

my new daily coffee! i love fancy coffee but the cost is getting so high i needed to control my spending this is a good quality coffee i can enjoy every morning without being worried of the cost. i always have some more fancy coffee but i will only make my fancier coffee on the weekends!

I loved the Kirkland Starbucks beans but had to switch to a Sam's Club membership after a recent move. Didn't think I'd find a suitable replacement of quality and value but this my friends, is IT! Such great flavor, never harsh or bitter. Makes an excellent cup. The undertone of chocolate isn't pronounced at all but definitely there. Oh, I love this coffee!! Please never stop carrying it, Sam!

To be fair, almost every medium roast 100 percent Colombian coffee is very good, and whole bean coffee is going to taste better (to my palate, at least) than coffee bought pre-ground; but this Member's Mark Colombian Supremo seems to be a cut or two above the rest. I drip-brew it for my morning eye-opener (or any time I want hot coffee) and cold-brew a batch in the fridge for iced coffee throughout the day.

I can't say enough good about this coffee (we use whole bean). I've tried them all and this not only is a great value, the quality and consistency are better than other mass brands. Been our favorite for years and we can drink other coffees but choose not to and we only supplement with a few special small batch orders otherwise.

I just bought this coffee to try it out. In the past I have used Starbucks French Roast and Peet’s Major D among other brands. SB And P both had rich flavor. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same with this version of Sam’s Club medium roast. Perhaps it is because it is a medium roast and I am used to a darker roast. I will try out the French Roast version next time and hopefully I will like it.

As for Columbian Coffee this is an extremely poor substitute. Members Mark was much higher quality coffee than this. It had full rich bodied flavor. This cannot even compare. The ratings before me which there were only two but showed only one claim 3 1/2 stars with the showing reviewer giving it 2 stars. The acid flavor, combined with the weak bodied, flavor lacking of this coffee clearly sends the move on signal. Too bad the MM was discontinued in the store but what MM coffee they did keep to sell in-store is offered online as well but NOT the Columbian Supremo. Always the bottom line is instead of what the people want. Had to give it one star because no stars is not an option.

Enjoyable coffee for the morning.. great flavor
