This coffee was surprisingly rich and smooth. I was hesitant as I usually only drink dark roast, but I was pleasantly surprised. This was full-bodied and had a good finish.

Excellent coffee. This coffee has a nice flavor to it and the beans are uniformly well roasted. The beans were well sorted and don’t have any other material in the bag. This is an excellent coffee for the price. We prefer these to the Members Mark beans but unfortunately like many other items, you never know if they will have them.

My husband is the coffee drinker. He likes the whole bean so he can grind fresh. He puts them in the freezer between grinding a small coffee container. Good value for the size bag. Now if we could just do something about that coffee smell that I’m not crazy about.

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.

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

We bought this brand to give it a test and now we seek it out. We like coffee many ways; Cold Press, French Press, Aero Press and we have an entry level espresso machine and this Don Pablo Guatemala is Fantastic! We also did a taste test against a $20/pound bag of Hawaiian Kona whole beans and the Kona could not touch the Don Pablo for Bean color, Aroma, brewed taste, get this and grind it yourself for the freshest and tastiest cup of coffee that you will be proud to serve.

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.

Pablo’s Pride Gourmet coffee always tastes great and is a fraction of the cost of the famous coffee, which is not consistent in quality or availability. A reviewer of Pablo’s said they used to buy from the famous coffee house for years (also) until their friend gave them a huge bag of Pablo’s coffee beans for Christmas one year and they’d bought Pablo’s ever since. Me too! At least a couple years now! Love it!

Coffee selection. Usually my choice is Pablo Pride or Eight o'clock / in whole bean ; Both are used in making French Press coffee; I find both to my liking and the prices are affordable. Would like to see someone analyze the different choices of coffees Sam's offers , the why's, and reason for buying them; But enjoy these two more than others available at the store I shop in.
