I am so delighted to have found this coffee! It is smooth, mellow and delicious and has become my favorite now. I'm also very picky. I currently have two other "pricey, top of the line" choices here at home but I've been ignoring them since discovering Pablo's beans. Great price and I'm going to get back to the store and buy a couple more bags as I'm afraid of not being able to get it now that I've found it. Thanks Pablo and Family! Great product.

This was one our favorite coffee beans, however 2 of the bags we've purchased had rocks in them. One was very large and damaged the burrs on my grinder. The manufacturer took care of us and said the growers dry these over the ground and can rarely get rocks mixed in. After a couple more bags it happened again so we've switched brands. It's unfortunate because we really liked the flavor.

I'm a coffee drinker for 30 years. I drink 1 cup in the morning and I want it to be strong, not bitter, tasty, and aromatic. If you only have one, you want it to be a good one. This is the best coffee I've had, and to get it at this price is amazing. Dunkin Donuts coffee is the next best, IMHO, but this costs less and has, I think, a bit more flavor. You have go - no, you GET to - grind this yourself, but that gives you a wonderful, fresh flavor that is worth the minute or two to grind it each day. I sent some to coffee-holic friends up in Starbucks country (Oregon/Washington) who drink 20 cups a day, and it has become their favorite.

Sam's doesn't carry a good quality DARK ROAST/FRENCH ROAST whole bean coffee reasonably priced -- this is it. It's good, but not AS GOOD as Walmart's brand French Roast K-Cup or Costco's San Francisco Bay's French Roast. Sam's needs to carry a quality, dark roast, French roast whole bean coffee priced better than Starbuck's overpriced one.

Let me tell you, I'm a hardcore coffee fan. I hand grind my beans in a conical burr grinder. I measure my water temperature with an HDE Temperature Gun Infrared Thermometer w/ Laser Sight to the proper 175 degrees Fahrenheit, then I patiently push that water through my grounds with an Aeropress. I've had coffee at all price ranges. After trying Pablo's Pride, perhaps the least expensive you can find retail, I know cost is not the factor in quality of flavor. Pablo's Pride is exceptional coffee. Aside: One night, my wife and I were heading to a party and didn't have time to stop by Sam's, an hour away. We were running out of Pablo's Pride, so I decided to get some buy some beans from one of those fancy organic grocery stores while we were there. I bought the most expensive Kenyan beans. The description said it was bold, not for the faint of heart and at $15/lb, they were right. That coffee was highly acidic and turned sour before I finished my first cup. The taste was flat and unexciting. Pablo's Pride however, at the other end of the price scale, is bold and delicious with long lasting full flavor and none of the sourness at the end. I brew three days worth at a time and the first cup is just as good as the last cup. I drink about 2-3 cups a day. I experiment regularly with different coffees (all whole bean), here's how I rank them: $7/lb Folgers Gourmet (not good) $14.99/lb Kenyan from a high end grocery chain 8 o'clock (pretty good IMO) Starbucks Brand, various blends (all good) Pablo's Pride (excellent) Incidentally, I bought this coffee after searching the web on my cell phone for "best Sam's Club Coffee." Pablo's Pride had the best recommendation and I'm so glad I took the chance. It's a spectacular value and a great flavor. Next time I'm at the store, I may get 2 or three bags to last.

The best full flavor non bitter coffee since 24 Karat Kona (not that 10% Kona Blend). Look forward to Pablo's Pride every morning. Can not get this coffee in my local club so I drive an hour and buy more than one bag at once. Use one and freeze the rest - it stays good. I have been drinking coffee for years but I am picky - this one is wonderful, great quality.

For cuppacino espresso you can't beat it and the price is great. First, I would like to say to those that read and leave reviews dark roast has nothing to do with how strong the coffee is. That's determined by brewing method and size of grind. Research how to's to understand flavor extraction. The dark roast determines flavor. If your coffee is weak then your grind and water ratio to coffee amount is off. This bean also makes a good cup of coffee if you like a roast cocoa flavor. ENJOY

Terrible coffee. I usually buy Member's Mark or CopperMoon, but gave this a try because of its description and pricepoint. We drink a lot of coffee and this we have to choke down. It gave my wife heartburn and its flavor is awful. Never going to buy this again.

These are tasty, reasonably priced coffee beans, and I definitely recommend.

Great tasting coffee. Beets Starbucks by a long shot!
