How does this taste compare to French Market brand coffee? Is it about the same taste?

No. We have purchased it before and my wife does not like the "French Market" brand. She is the coffee drinker not me!

I haven't tasted French Market, what I can tell is that Cafe Du Monde is very flavorful & dark, smells very good and it takes only 2 spoons to make 2 cups with great flavor.

I have never had the French market version with chicory added, but judging by the price and the fact that Cafe du Monde is a real place in New Orleans (that only serves this coffee and beignets) I would bet this one is better. It is one of my favorite coffees.

Probably yes. There are also brown lables. The newest product is brown. It is in my opinion, the best french roast coffeeon the market. Having lived in Euorpe several times over the years, Tully's is the closest thing to real coffee bistros you can find. Try it, it's excellent, you'll like it.

I have only tried this brand and I got it for my husband who loves his coffee in the morning. He says this brand of Kona is milder than most that he's had. It doesn't have that bold taste that he's had with other Kona coffees he's tried.

The coffee is great. I don't know if you're accustomed to French press coffee - but in case you're not, it is rich and bold, yet without any of the bitterness that you get from drip coffee. I can drink lots of it and it never upsets my stomach (personally). However, I don't notice a difference between THIS press and a less-expensive press. It is as good, as far as I can tell.

I usually drink French roast until I tried Peet's. Definitely dark roast, maybe middle of extra-bold range.

I've been drinking 8 o'clock bean for over 50 years since it was sold at the A&P; supermarkets in NY. I find this coffee light. I think a much better alternative is the 100% Columbian now called Columbian Peaks. I only use the whole bean and sometimes grind it with 8 o'clock French Roast in a 50/50 blend. I use 3 times as much coffee as the average person to make brew. It is not bitter even though it is very strong but I also drink it with half & half cream. My friends always ask me to make them a cup when they visit.

Perfect with french press. Did not order beans. Coffee was all ready ground but I say it was fine ground. Very smooth coffee. I usually drink Peet's but we tried Death Wish Coffee and it is the World's Best Coffee. Ready to see it in Costco. :)

It doesn't, this isn't a French roast. It has extra caffeine so it's strong coffee with an extra jolt. Where Brista prima French Roast has a somewhat nut like flavor that is on the more bitter end of the flavor profile.

It is 100% your taste and opinion. The paper filters do filter out the oils so if you dislike that about French Press you'll love the Aeropress. If you enjoy the oils and need to make more than one "shot" at a time you'll need the French Press. I find that the Aeropress makes a much more concentrated flavor closer to Espresso because it's easier to get a high coffee to water ratio and the grinds only steep for a few seconds. I keep my Aeropress at work and my French Press at home. But truly, it's like asking which pizza has more flavor, regular crust or thin crust; it's completely subjective.

I "perk" my coffee. The coffee is a mild roast with a robust chocolate overlay flavor. I would imagine that a French press would yield a good mild pot of coffee. You shouldn't have an acidity or bitter taste.

I can answer to the fact that the coffee is creamy and not very sweet but it is sweetened. I experienced an aftertaste.

Actually, I haven't found it to make a significant difference. Of course, consider your current brewing preference. Compared to a French Press, the coffee is weaker. Another thing I found makes larger cups richer and more flavorful is to use EkoBrew refillable K-cups and my own ground coffee. It's much cheaper and you can adjust the results by the amount of coffee.

I was getting the French Roast through S&S; and has gone well for several months. I love the coffee. They just notified me though that they were switching it out for Columbian as FR no longer available with S&S.; Columbian is a medium roast, so I'm pretty bummed. I think I'm going to try the Original instead. It doesn't say if it is light, medium or dark. But many good reviews. Bottom line - I like the S&S; option to get another 15% off of products I use frequently, but they switch out what is available just often enough to be a bit frustrating, but not often enough to turn me off.

They don't taste similar. Coffee mate is a creamer, the syrup is not. You would also need half and half or heavy whipping cream if u want the creamer effect. The syrup has a slightly chocolate flavor in addition to the peppermint - like a chocolate peppermint patty. I think it tastes pretty good :)

French Roast: Boldest of the three, with a bit more acidity than I care for. It's a fairly standard French Roast, so neither as intense nor as bitter as Italian Roast or espresso. Needs 6 ounces or less of water brewed through it to hold its intensity of flavor, though. Java Love is your typical Colombian style coffee and Breakfast Blend is mainly an even weaker version of that mixed with another roast. Neither is strong enough to be called coffee, in my opinion, when using even 6 ounces of water brewed through a standard K-Cup brewer.

No it isn't the organic french roast, but I will try that next time as a comparison.
