    Good value.

    I've tried several coffees in the past year. This ITALIAN Dark Roast Whole bean – 5 LB is perhaps not the *best* coffee, but it ranks very highly. The price makes it even better. At $.52/ounce, it blows away other coffees that I might like better.

    Fantastic Coffee!

    This is great coffee! Wonderful aroma and flavor . I am somewhat of a coffee snob and I was truly impressed. I will be definitely buying this coffee again!

  • Jeffrey Johnson Verified purchase ★★★★☆

    Really good coffee

    Really good coffee. My wife and I like dark roast with a rich strong flavor. This is a great deal for the cost. We would like a little stronger brew but don’t want to pay double or triple the cost of this fine coffee to get it.
