Good, dark roast flavor. Works well in my super automatic coffee maker. I orginally tried the Starbucks Espresso whole bean from Sam's but it had too many broken beans and loose debris that kept jamming my machine. This Members Mark whole bean has none of that.

Found this on clearance at my local club and am so glad I tried it. I love deep, dark roasts and this fits that bill perfectly. It's great for pour-over or french press, IMO, and is a bargain. I had to reorder online (not in stores) and have it on auto-ship now. Great value, Thanks Sams for carrying this.

I love these coffee beans. We grind them for our percolator coffee pot. It has a wonderful rich taste and isn’t bitter at all.

This coffee much milder than the Columbian I was buying. Then I learned a pinch of salt on the freshly ground beans removes any bitterness. It works.

Great quality works well in our self grinding espresso machine. Doesn't leave a residue . The flavor is rich and not bitter. Also tastes good as an espresso setting.

As longtime addicts to Seattle Smack...Sam’s offers an amazing step up to robust flavor and gourmet quality without the Jessie James “hands up” experience of the fork-tailed mermaid. Great price! Great Coffee! Great Caesar’s ghost, Clark! Drink up!

The coffee is absolutely wonderful. So why the 3 star review? The bag.... the bag is absolute garbage. The ziplock seal busted when opening the package for the first time. Unprepared for this, the coffee had to go into a clear ziplock bag. Not the best place to keep coffee beans.

Love the coffee. New short seal on side of bag impossible to work with--especially if trying to use store grinder.

We like our coffee strong, so we almost always buy french roast. We usually buy a major retailer's brand, but the Sam's Club price was low enough it was worth a shot. But it was a relatively light roast with less flavor and oils than the Seattle-based coffee. We tried it once (single cup pour-through filters) and donated it to a local non-profit that could use it. It would probably be fine for people that aren't picky about their coffee.

The new packing does not allow a vacuum seal. The old aluminum packing often got a minor tear or puncture that would break the vacuum seal, but could at least start out vacuum sealed. The last time we ground coffee, the static charge on the beans sent ground coffee throughout our kitchen! It was a big mess to clean up & the beans weren't as fresh smelling. We are going to be buying our coffee from another source.
