2LB Don Pablo Colombian Supremo - Medium-Dark Roast - Whole Bean Coffee - Low Acidity - 2 Pound (2 lb) Bag

THE. BEST!Tasting is my life. Literally. I am a Sommelier. I can tell you that this coffee, in my opinion, is perfect.Bold, but very smooth, slight hint of caramel and dark chocolate, good balance of acidity without that "burnt" taste many other coffees give you.Searching for the right coffee is like a journey one usually doesn't realize they are on. They go day to day trying this and that. Until that random order, or friend's recommendation leads them to this.You know you have found the right coffee when you first open the bag, as the aroma is nothing short of what you should smell when watching Hollywood coffee commercials.Then when you see the beans roasted to the faultless equivalent of an artisan chocolate truffle piece, you understand you are about to enjoy something special.The light, oily sheen of fresh perfection surmizes the realization that what you have been drinking up until now has been a dried up representation of broken promises.As you indulge that first sip there is a peaceful hush as if the whole world goes quiet for a half second. No war, no politics, no drama, and then you slowly return to earth, imbibed with the knowledge that this is the culmination of someone's truly back breaking labor and it almost doesn't even seem fair.Value? Priceless!!!With that a warning label should be added to the bag. **Not for the weak willed, as only those with strong conviction will POSSIBLY stave off the inevitable addiction**. But there are worse things in life, and this is NOT one of them.So enjoy your cup of angels singing, and warm sunshine on your face. Put the checkmark next to this on the bucket list and move to hangliding or traveling to Japan (both I highly recommend), and live your life.In all seriousness though, this cup is SO good that I find myself refusing to get coffee out somewhere if I know I will be home in a "reasonable" time-line. This will ruin "other coffee" fornyou. I use this in my Espresso machine, but have had everything from the Long pull, to the Cappuccino, Americano and even a regular brewed cup of coffee and this does NOT disappoint.Enjoy responsibly.

I consider myself a coffee-snob so I didn't really believe I could find really excellent coffee, at a reasonable price, online. Recently, I was very pleasantly surprised.Backstory: I've always preferred Columbian coffee for my daily morning cup. That doesn't mean that I don't enjoy other varieties for a change of pace: I'm also particularly fond of Ethiopian; Guatemalan; and Mexican. But my standby has been Columbian all my adult life, For many years (40+ I would imagine) my Columbian store-bought, stand by was "Brown Gold". For me, it outclassed everything else on the store shelves and even many of the boutique/specialty brands (I was never a Starbuck's fan---reminds me of birch tar). Cup after cup, year after year, Brown Gold hit the spot for me. It was usually the most expensive coffee on the shelf, but I felt it was well worth it.And then one day, they stopped selling Brown Gold----I mean, Mother Parker's just stopped producing it! I couldn't believe they stopped selling this outstanding product. I went into serious withdrawal and deep mourning. I've been on a quest for a replacement for several years now. Recently, I "chanced" Don Pablo's Columbian Supremo right here. BINGO!Right out of the package, the beans smell divine. The roasting is perfect. (Brown Gold was a medium roast and I thought I preferred that). Don Pablo is a medium-dark roast that hits the spot for me. They advertise "low acidity" and I don't know how they accomplish that but it's true---it's very low acidity which I appreciate; some mornings, it permits me 'another cuppa' without the reflux. The aroma is marvelous (fills the entire house) and the flavor components, are downright wonderful. I've always maintained that coffee aroma and taste rarely match, .i.e., the aroma far-and-away beats the flavor; for this brand, they are neck-in-neck, A spectacular find! And the price? Just amazing.This coffee is a worthy replacement for my beloved, Brown Gold. My mornings are 'right' again.

I began ordering these coffee beans six months ago when my city was on Covid lockdown and I couldn't get to either of the stores where I normally buy my beans and at one of the places (Whole Foods), the Colombian beans were all sold out even for delivery. At a time when everything was dark and dreary what a pleasant surprise - these Don Pablo beans are really very good and they are well-priced. They are always shipped pronto, too. Six months on, I'm still purchasing them. They make a quality everyday cup of coffee and that suits me fine.I like them better than the ones I used to purchase locally for the same price. They seem more fresh and full-bodied. I think the Whole Foods Colombian is better - richer and their beans are not shiny like these - but they are also more expensive so I'm perfectly happy with Don Pablo. I'm not a coffee snob but I do like a decent cup of Colombian and these beans manage that.

For the price you pay Don Pablo's whole bean coffees are always fresh and always great tasting. My only problem with them is that they tend to bog down my grinder. They're a little bit oily. Other coffee brands don't have that and I can go a couple of weeks without cleaning my grinder. With Don Pablo's, I'm cleaning it every other day. However, I still choose them over and over again, because the coffee is worth the hassle.Update: I bought this in late November. I opened it in mid to late January. It's now February. I still have almost a pound of it left. However, it still brews like it was the first day that I opened it. I haven't found any other off the shelf brand that is that fresh. My complaint was with the oiliness. However, there is another small complaint. They only seem to know how to do dark roasts. Colombian coffee, imho, is better when roasted medium to medium dark roast.
