Still testing out different brands of whole beans to find my favorite.

Used this about 3 to 5 times a week. No problems, quick 2 mins cleaning after each use, and great tasting coffee each time. I'm still testing out different brands of whole beans to find my favorite.

I purchased a variety pack so that I could sample all the products. It turns out that I liked that chocolate almond coconut the best.

Now and then, I try other beans from various sources, some locally roasted, some not.  But I'm always drawn back to the particular flavor of these beans.  It's nice that they're inexpensive, but it's amazing that it's the best tasting coffee I've found!  I use a french press and find that limiting the brewing time to 3:45 (4 minutes for most beans), avoids the extraction of the bitter compounds while still extracting the powerful, rich flavor I love.

The beans are of good quality and the flavor is quite rich and full. The roast is slightly darker and significantly oilier than what I would consider a full city roast, but I guess there's not a hard-line standard for what each roast classification means. I'll try their light or "city" roast next time.

Might be me, but the last batch I purchased left an after taste that, although not bitter, wasn't what I had experienced with previous orders of this product. Won't stop me from buying more because it may be the coffee maker or  change with the water in the area.

Out of the four varieties I thought I was experimenting most with the peanut, but that was the flavor I ended up liking the most! The green tea flavor was -very- perfume-y tasting and smelling, not as bad if I held my nose but still bitter. The taro, usually my favorite mochi, was a little musty and the red bean flavor was partially dried out. I'm betting a fresher batch would taste great, though.

I've ordered from Coffee Bean Direct a number of times.  I like their bulk offers of tea and coffee, they always deliver consistent quality.

Not as flavorful as unique origin beans, but much better than the standard name brands.  So far I have been performing a medium-dark roast (finish at the beginning of second crack) and brewing it slightly stronger than full strength.  Regardless of the roast, anything less than at least a full strength brew just doesn't seem like enough with these beans, which kind of offsets the cost savings that convinced me to try this for the first time.  But I do believe that I will order this again because of the quality of the beans: uniform size and shape, no duds, good fresh smell, and great price.

I got a $50 gift card from my work and I didn't know what I wanted to order. Then I thought about the fact that I've recently started grinding and making my own coffee so I figured I'd try out some more expensive stuff than what I find at my local grocery store. This coffee did not disappoint. I love the smell of the beans when I open up their air-tight container in the mornings and the smell of the coffee brewing fills the house. The bean is not what you expect; it is lighter in color and not dark and oily like what you usually see with a darker blend. The flavor is full and nutty and definitely has some chocolate notes. I'm using much less sugar in my coffee in order to get more of the flavor of the bean. I have a feeling I'll be buying this for a while into the future :)

Ive been buying a Jamaican Blue Mountain whole bean blend from a local grocery store for quite a while now and loved every cup. Great tasting coffee.
However, recently the bin has been empty and I was told they are having trouble getting more in. So, I decided to try buying JBM whole bean blends from Amazon (I can taste the difference between the blends and the real stuff, but don't want to spend the money to buy the real stuff). This is the first blend I have tried and so far I am not impressed. This tastes nothing like what I have been drinking and the taste is noticeably inferior. That slight sweet taste just is not there. Ive tried changing the amount of grounds I brew with the thought that the blend might be different than I am used to but no matter if I go a little stronger or a little weaker nothing changes the final result.
Ill move on to other suppliers and see if I can find something I like better.

Still have a tube and tub of this (don't ask), but I've been trying lots of other brands and finding things I like better. I'll go back to this every few days though as it is itself a great product, I just fell in love with some other scents and creamier formulations!

really love some of the varieties.  the lungo didn't have the flavor i expected for a long coffee (after visiting europe, my expectations were very high) but everything else has been really nice. My favorites so far are espresso and intenso.

We have tried five different companies and the favorite turned out to be this variety pack from Martinson.  There was something to please everyone including my daughter and grandchildren who are in college now.  Although I personally prefer medium roast I heard great compliments on the flavored coffees such as hazelnut.  So I will get a pack of that.

Seemed to be fine but still I gravitate to a different brand. Not sure why.

I absolutely love this brand of beans. We are vegetarian and eat vegan at home so beans, grains, and veggies are hugely consumed here. I often get red beans from Camellia, but didn't realize that they had such a huge variety. I enjoy various types of beans that aren't as popular and this is one of those types of beans that fit into that category. I don't know why these aren't more popular because they're so delicious. These beans are definitely one of those southern foods that I enjoy and this name is very fitting. It does describe them well because they have a creamy interior texture. They're really good prepared fairly simply and don't need much to season them. We often enjoy them with greens and cornbread. I always find this brand to be particularly clean. I really love them! If you're not wanting a warm bowl of beans in the heat of the summer; they also make for a lovely cold bean relish dish. Pictured here is croquette made with lady cream peas and corn with a basil aioli. Very very good! I received these beans at a discount in exchange for my completely honest review.
