If you hate rolling out early (or on time for that matter), knowing you have a short bean grind and wait for the best cup of coffee on the planet, can take the sting out of the first thing in your day. And, it saves big bucks when your coffee isn't as expensive as your lunch.

I bought two bags; your Traverse City store had an empty shelf for several weeks. Customer service was unable to tell me when it would be back in stock. It is my preferred bean coffee for several reasons. 1. High quality bean with consistent roast from lot to lot. 2. Almost all of the beans are whole, very few are broken or crushed. Some brands, specifically Starbucks in your store, often has so many crushed and broken beans that the lot looks like floor sweepings. Because the particle sizes vary from powder to half beans it is not practical to sift the product. 3. Your Members Mark French Roast has a little or no oil sprayed on the beans … this enables a uniform and consistent grind! Many other brands on your shelves, Starbucks in particular, have so much oil I have had to store the beans in mason jars with paper towels to absorb the oil. Otherwise, beans cake up in the burr grinder and I have to break the clog with a chopstick. I realize that Sam’s buyers have to pay attention to costs; but reducing costs by replacing a gram of expensive beans with a gram of cheap oil … is STUPID, So if some mindless buyer try's to reduce the cost of what in that purple bag … stop him or her; the only meaningful result would be a reduction in quality. When I was a young boy one of the highest quality tool companies was Black and Decker; today, as a result of cost reductions, that brand of tools is in the Free Box at Yard Sales.

We've lived this Rick wonderful coffee for at least 5 years now. The coffee grinders at Sam's Club usually aren't meant for this brand or aren't working which has been annoying. So we bought a Cusinart Grind and Brew coffee maker which had made this coffee even better. Luckily we're retired to linger and enjoy the best coffee every morning we've ever had!

French Roast coffee for those desiring full, rich pleasing dark roast without those bitter notes. I drink lots of coffee everyday using an all-in-one coffee grinder/brewer. So far, Member's Mark whole bean coffee has been a stand-out value. Very consistent quality. I highly recommend!

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.

If you enjoy a nice bold cup of coffee that’s not very acidic you’re gonna enjoy these Member’s Mark French Roast Beans! We use 3-4 level scoops of beans for 12 cups. The scoop is a 1/8 cup measuring cup. We’ve tried a few other beans for a change but we always come back to these. ENJOY!!!

I am a picky coffee drinker, must have dark strong coffee. Always wanted to see if Members Mark French dark roast was good but was reluctant to have a fail with a big bag. So glad I finally tried it, it is great! Beans dark and glistening, grind clean, not full of twigs. Flavor super, price can’t be beat. The ground and single serving cup versions are great too. Hooray for Members Mark!!!

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.

I've always enjoyed strong coffee and used to buy Starbucks French roast until it became too expensive. While searching for a coffee that suits my taste I tried Members Mark French roast and discovered it is better than Starbucks and more affordable. It fits nicely in my budget so I'm a MM coffee drinker forever.

Got introduced to this coffee by my dad in Florida on a visit. Consistently good. Switched from Bustello and joined Sam's Club in Texas when I got back home so I could always have some. Recommend trying if you like strong dark French roast . Folger's 1850 "Black Gold" is good as well. Trusted advice from a self proclaimed coffee aficionado.
