Costa Rica Tarrazu Coffee - Whole Bean Coffee - Freshly Roasted Coffee - Cubico Coffee - 12 Ounce (Medium Roast)

Edit: Looks like Amazon is lumping together reviews for multiple beans. My experience was with the Peaberry coffee.Ordered 5/22, delivered 5/30 (not Prime), roast date was that same week. This coffee - using a 10g beans per 6oz water ratio - is absolutely phenomenal using a pour over. There's a nice roast taste with complementary bright acidity and medium body, and I find notes of dark chocolate, cherry, earth, sugar, and blackcurrant in the cup. Ive never felt the need to "review" coffee before so hopefully that says something about how much I enjoyed this. Will be happy to order from Cubico again!

I ordered this because I had run out of Yurgacheffe that I loved. I expected them to taste pretty much the same. I made my first cup right away, using the same amount of coffee I had used before. I use a French press. I have to say I really disliked it! It tasted sour and had a bitter finish. But I read up on it and realized I might have made it wrong. So I tried it again, this time measuring 2 tablespoons (instead of 3) for 8 oz of water (I always use bottled water.). When I poured it, it looked lighter than i usually like. Added cream and some sugar. And I changed my opinion. It was interesting. The "sour" was much less pronounced, and the bitter was much less bitter. It tasted like a really good coffee but was just very different from what I'd expected. I had made it too strong the first time. It turned out the difference between this coffee and my usual one was this one was "medium" roast, and my other one was "medium city plus). That one was a slightly darker roast but still "medium." If you think it's sour and bitter, maybe try using less coffee in the water. It makes a big difference. The package recommends 1 tablespoon, I used 2, and it's very good.

I “discovered” Guatemala Antigua coffee about 25 years ago, and ever since, when I’ve had a sudden hankering for it, I’ve gone on the hunt. It used to be less than easy to find, but the internet changed all that. Still, you can’t be 100% sure of getting the best when you order online. I’ve had some disappointments (Rabbit, I’m looking at you).But this coffee ... mmmm ... so good, just what I believe Guatemala Antigua should be. Apparently each small batch is personally roasted and ground by an employee who signs his/her name on it along with the date. I ordered mine in K-cup form, and the roaster packed my coffee in delicate, homemade-looking pods. They produced wonderful flavor.The price is just what I think such attention to the customer and passion for flavor warrants. When I just want a caffeine injection to start my day, I can brew up something cheap and be OK with it. But for that cold winter Sunday morning when you have time to indulge yourself a little, I highly recommend this coffee.

Each bag has freshly roasted and packed coffee beans, which is so important to those who really care about the flavors of their coffee (as opposed to those who consume coffee for caffeine). And the flavors are amazing!I decided to buy the Rwanda beans for my shaken espresso with orange and espresso Romano because Rwandan beans are known for the fruity, citrusy flavor. When I tasted it by itself, though, I was able to taste layers of deep, complex flavors - bourbon, wine, fruits, etc. So, I did make the shaken espresso and espresso Romano as intended and they turned out wonderfully, but I also made a couple of batches of cold brew, which was equally amazing.I'm glad I have this on my Save & Subscribe list. I would like to try other beans by this roaster, too!

First the k-cups themselves are very well constructed. The cup is translucent allowing you see the coffee and unlike some brands there is an adequate amount to make a large cup without sacrificing flavor. The top is sealed well, there were no loose grounds in the bottom of the package and not a single k-cup has left grounds in the bottom of my cup or more importantly left behind after brewing and gunking up my machine.The coffee itself is wonderful. Dark enough to have the more intense flavor I like without having that bitter or slightly burnt taste that isn't uncommon in a darker roast. I'd put this in the medium to dark roast category. It holds up well by itself if you enjoy your coffee black but it doesn't get lost behind the flavor of cream and sugar if you add those.Overall a very satisfying brew. I've found it's not too easy to find actual good coffee in pre-make k-cup form and it's been a pleasure finding this one. I ordered this particular one simply because I had never tried coffee grown and roasted in Rwanda and I really enjoy it. Will definitely order this again and probably try some of their other varieties as well.

I purchased the Cubico whole bean Guatemala Antigua coffee through Amazon. It is my favorite and I order four bags at a time so that I don't run out. Unfortunately today I received my order and it was the wrong grind. I order the whole bean so that I can grind it myself for my coffee press. It was delivered medium grind. I ususally grind it coarsely. This has never happened before from Cubico and it was a disappointment since I was really looking forward to my coffee plus it is very expensive. Normally the quality of this coffee is worth the price. Of course this coffee is not eligible for return. I have notified the seller about my experience.**I would like to update my review**I wrote to the seller the same day I received my coffee and I received an immediate response. He seller is sending me the correct coffee at no extra charge. The company rep was polite and responsive. I admire their desire to maintain a good reputation. For their customer service and the quality of their product, I give them five stars.
