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.

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.

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.

This is the best coffee I have ever had. I have been a heavy coffee drinker for years and years. If you like real French roast this is the coffee to buy. Most of the other expensive brand names Are a Bitter. I hope they never stop selling this coffee

Read the bad reviews after I bought the product, so I opened the bag with a clear mind. Aroma was excellent, bean color was dark, and oily residue on my hands from a small sample. The next day brew through my Mr. Coffee with cinnamon and brown sugar was very good. Better than spending ridiculous money on starbucks. When I hear people complain about product inconsistencies, all I can think is: 'Get off your a## and take it back.'

I am a review nerd. I read ALL the reviews. I think this vender has a quality control roasting problem. I get this all the time and love it. Every once and awhile I get a light not oily batch. I find if you super grind this you get a decent espresso tast. Grate tast for the price. I will say this though. Starbucks is the king. Even if they are a left wing communist company. Great coffee though. BUT this brand is cost ofective

My husband is very particular about coffee and has a special process he uses to brew it. He is very happy with these beans and I’m happy that they come in such a large bag for a great price. We used to buy Wegman’s espresso roast, but this is just as good and more economical.

We love this coffee shop much, awesome flavor. They use to sell it on the club but not anymore, it's only available online. Don't know why they stop selling this amazing coffee in the club. You think when an item sells so well they would have it available in the store as well. Great price and the taste is amazing.
