My long time favorite is Chock full of Nuts. This roast whole bean is richly flavored, smooth and full bodied. I’ll buy it again!

Not as good as Kirkland French Roast. Kirkland is smoother, bit more oil in the beans, little darker.

I've been through a lot of different coffees, and this, by far, was the best I've ever had. So why was it discontinued?

We've been drinking this coffee for a while, it's the closest to Starbucks but so much affordable. We also buy the k-cups.

Prior to the new packaging, I would have given 5 stars. The new packaging is very difficult to open. When it's finally open, trying to pour it into the grinder is a problem -- coffee spitting out and beans all over the counter.

If you're a picky espresso drinker, you won't like the flavor. Tried it, gave it away & went back to Starbucks' dark roast. Even though I grind my own beans, it still has the cheap flavor of canned, generic coffee.

This tastes like regular coffee. Nothing French Roast about it in appearance (dull not shiny beans, no FR aroma and definitely no FR taste. Just ordered more of the Barrista Brava which is awesome. I’ll save this for run out emergencies.

After its recent comeback from "out of stock" status, this coffee is now a far cry of what it just to be, I don't think it even qualifies as French Roast (not oily/dark enough), and I've bought three bags in two different occasions to be sure.

I've purchase this coffee a number of times, and it is very good coffee for the price. However, use caution when ordering it online because the packaging has trouble surviving shipment.

So I just finished a bag of CS and thought I would try out the FR and see if it was any better. It was not. Although it is a medium roast, the CS was more full and rich in its taste and flavor profile and it helped that it had hints of chocolate. The FR just wasn't as rich or as full in flavor. I was surprised since the FR is a darker roast and usually darker roasts are richer.
