    Good Medium Roast and Worth the Price

    The coffee tastes really good, with a nice medium roast aroma, and it’s a great value for the money considering how much you get. It comes well sealed and smells fresh when you open it. Just keep in mind, like any ground coffee, it will lose some freshness and aroma over time.

    The Best

    I keep going between k cups and this container size. You just can’t beat the cost and just use a refillable k-cup! Great taste and low acid. Doesn’t upset my stomach like some other brands do.

    Better Than Amazon’s Sad Bean Dust

    Quality? Smooth, rich, and actually tastes like coffee instead of burnt cardboard. Aroma? Wakes me up before I even pour a cup. Value for money? At $31 a can I cried a little, but at least I am not drinking “Amazon Basics Coffee-Like Beverage.” Wakefulness? One mug and I am answering emails I ignored for three days.
