    A Taste of Home

    This brings back so many memories or growing up with my German godparents. Taste just as great as I remembered

  • Ross Barentyne-Truluck Verified purchase ★★★★★

    Great great coffee!

    The best coffee we’ve ever had. Too bad it costs almost twice as much as our usual brand, but once in a while, definitely worth the splurge!

    German bold coffee

    Great German bold coffee

  • Brad Verified purchase ★★★★☆

    Great coffee beans but they are pricey

    Nice bold flavor but the price has increased significantly since I last purchased it. If the price doesn’t come down a bit, I’ll try a different brand. Hence, only 4 stars.
