365 by Whole Foods Market, Pacific Rim Vienna Roast Ground Coffee, Dark Roast, 24 Ounce

Wow, this coffee really blew me away. Not to mention anyone I have served it to. I don’t usually buy ground coffee, but this one has made convert out of me. I use it in my percolator, so having a pre-ground coffee with a consistent grind makes the process a lot easier in the morning, since my coffee grinder isn’t the greatest. This coffee is for you if you like a full city roast. It’s labeled “Vienna Roast” which is similar, basically it’s a touch lighter than a dark roast. It’s a very rich coffee and you really don’t need much. Ignore the package instructions and resist the urge to use more coffee than you need. One level tablespoon per 6 ounces of water is just right. I haven’t tried it as a drip coffee, but in the percolator, it makes a smooth and strong brew that isn’t acidic at all . I suspect that the bad reviews here are from people who followed the package directions and used too much coffee, or perhaps they’re using different brewing methods. I find that perking it for at least 10 minutes brings out the full flavor.Also, ignore the reviews that say this coffee is too expensive. It is usually much less expensive buying it here than at Whole Foods Market. But like everything else here on Amazon, the price fluctuates wildly. I have seen the price literally go from $5.55 to $20.99 - on the same day. I have a feeling that they lower the price super low to get rid of excess inventory and then raise it once they reduce their stock levels. In any case, just know that the price increases are temporary, no need to panic. I make sure to stock up whenever the price is low so I don’t have to pay full price. It usually has a 3-4 month shelf life, so I keep 3 to 4 bags around at all times, or whatever I can use up in that time period. $5.55 for a pound of decent coffee is unheard of these days, and the Pacific Rim is a 1.5lb bag, it’s truly an amazing value, but please keep it in perspective with the price - I wouldn’t expect a $10 bottle of wine to taste like a $50 bottle. Personally, I don’t ever want to be without this coffee and I’m saving so much money not buying artisanal coffee beans like I used to. 5+ stars isn’t enough.

I absolutely love Pacific Whole Foods ground coffee! It's become an essential part of my morning routine, and I genuinely can't imagine starting my day without it. The rich aroma that fills my kitchen as it brews is simply delightful and sets the perfect tone for the day.The flavor is incredibly robust and smooth, with just the right amount of boldness that wakes you up without overwhelming your taste buds. I appreciate that it's never bitter, which is a problem I've had with other brands in the past. Whether I drink it black or with a splash of cream, it always delivers the perfect cup of coffee.Another thing I love about Pacific Whole Foods coffee is its consistency. Each bag delivers the same high-quality taste, which is something I value immensely. Plus, it's ethically sourced, so I feel good about my purchase.Overall, I highly recommend Pacific Whole Foods ground coffee to anyone looking for a reliable and delicious coffee option. It's a fantastic way to start your morning right!

Used these in the Keurig and the grind was weaker even though it says strong flavor. I looked on the bag and it said to use 2 tbsp for each 6 oz cup when normal rule of thumb is 1 tbsp per 5oz cup. Suffice it to say I tried it in the percolator with 2.5 tbsp to 12 oz and held my breath. It came out really good. The percolator makes the flavor stronger. So it is strong if you brew it in a percolator or the right device. I was worried it was the wrong grind but it was perfect. That said buying coffee can get rather complicated depending on the grind, roast, blend and of course the type of machine you have to cook it in, if you cook it and are not doing a cold press.

Delicious coffee and I got a great price too. I tried brewing this with my small handheld coffee brewer spoon and used only 1 tbsp and got a nice smooth morning eye opening coffee with good flavor. It did not give me the jitters even with a second cup!! So I recommend this brand wholeheartedly to all coffee lovers

My husband loves this coffee. It is always fresh tasting. Never bitter. Good caffeine content to keep him awake.

Really wanted to love this coffee as finding organic online at a good price point is a bit challenging. Alas, this is not it. Had trouble getting flavor--when I made like I usually do, it tasted like I'd used 1/2 the amount of my former coffee. I had to increase to 1.5x my normal amount. That looked more like my usual coffee, but still lacking in any type of complex flavor. I couldn't detect any chocolate or caramel flavor and it certainly doesn't taste like a medium-dark roast to me. Just my opinion.

I once read one of the worse items you can consume that is non-organic is coffee. Hmmmmm...never really thought of it. Did a little research and agreed it did make sense. This organic coffee is very good. Tastes good if you don't like strong coffee and the price is definitely right. A win / win!!

Best coffee!
