    A beautiful cup of coffee!!!

    The Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Dark Magic Whole Bean Coffee is a lovely, perfect balance coffee. Both bold & smooth it struck all the right cords for me. I think going with the whole was a good decision as you get that fresh from the espresso stand aroma & taste.

    Strong dark flavor as dark roast should be.

    Very dark coffee. Makes a very strong cup of coffee. I use stronger beans which has less caffeine. Its different from other coffee but i enjoy it.

    Better than Starbucks and a bigger bag.

    Great coffee. We like it better than Starbucks French Roast which used to be our go to coffee. It’s also a larger bag so compare price per ounce.
