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 whole bean coffee, we have enjoyed every cup. We discovered it at the club on Mingo in Tulsa and purchased it there until it was removed with a poor management decision recently. We have been forced to order it on line several times lately, thankfully Sam’s pays the shipping due to our Sam’s Plus membership. Carry it back at the club, please. We have requested yo do several times.

This is by far THE BEST coffee we have ever had! My wife refuses to drink anything else after having this do to its none existent acidity level. It does not level a bitter taste in your mouth. We love having freshly ground coffee every morning, almost to point of addiction. We find it popular at our local Sam's Clubs, so we stock up on it as not to run out or it being discontinued. Slight sweetness to the taste, so this is the first coffee my wife drinks straight black out the pot. Highly recommend!! Only thing that has comes close is Illy's coffee we had at Siegel's 1941 restaurant at the El Cortez in Vegas or Community chickory flavor coffee. Enjoy!

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.

I was hoping it would be good, but it is the opposite of robust. I bought beans thinking it would give me a fresh, aromatic grind, but it doesn't even have a very strong aroma. If this is Pablo's best, I hope he doesn't quit his day job. I like to give new coffee's a shot and have found some really cups doing so. This is not one of them and I won't be buying it again.

Personally, I liked these beans. As everyone else has described, they are rich but smooth with low acidity. They weren't too oily right out of the bag which is best for my espresso machine. But everyone in my family begged me to stop buying them because they liked another brand better. (But the other brand was very oily and gunking up my machine). The reason for the one star review is because there was not one but TWO rocks in the beans that possibly broke my grinder on my espresso machine. I am extremely disappointed. Never in my many years of drinking coffee and buying whole beans have I had this poor of quality control. I'm hoping that someone from this company can help make it right. This machine was not cheap and we don't have the means to replace it at the moment.

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!

My favorite coffee by far! Leaps and bounds better than anything else I have had. Full body medium to strong yet still mellow flavor. It's had to get full flavor like this without a bite. We use it for expresso/lattes as well as traditional drip and French press. Even cold brew. Just can't say enough about this coffee!

It was a hit with us! We're going back to get some more.

Seemed to loose flavor quickly after the bag was opened, I sealed it back daily.
