Colombian Supremo

I’m really impressed with this brand coffee this is the second 2lb bag I have purchased this flavor taste similar to Dunkin’ Donuts original flavor and I also purchased the Italian roast which was delicious. I would highly recommend this coffee and look forward to trying the other flavors. I drink this coffee hot and black or iced with half and half, both ways are excellent.

Great coffee!

Good stuff, nicely roasted, well-rounded coffee. It's not quite up there with the most sophisticated ones I've tried but this is perfect for a daily cup.

I'm very pleased with this coffee. I keep several varieties of whole bean on hand so I can switch up my coffee when I feel like a change of pace. I have been using other brands of Colombian Supremo for a long time and it's hard to beat a good cup of Supremo. I wasn't completely satisfied with the others I had tried, they weren't bad but I knew there was better coffee to be had so when I worked my way through a bag of whole beans I'd order something else -- making my decision based on reviews and the percentage of 4 and 5 star ratings. I stumbled across this coffee and thought "why not?" It gets good reviews except for a few sour apples that are always present on any product. So I went ahead and ordered it, feeling that at this price there was little to lose and with the great reviews there might be a lot to gain. I'm glad I ordered this coffee because finally I'm satisfied with my stock of Colombian Supremo. I had bought several bags of Colombian Supremo and then moved on without reordering any of them. I'll be ordering this one again. It's always possible that I got a particularly good bag, that someone else didn't get a good bag, or that any single bag of beans isn't representative of a brand. One needs to bear such things in mind when ordering coffee beans online. It's not like you can taste the coffee before buying it. Still, none of the others I've tried in the last couple years was as good to my taste as this one so I'll try this one again. Another thing to keep in mind is that flavor is not an absolute. There are individual variances in the taste experience so what appeals to me may not appeal to others and vice-verse. I find this brand from the bag I got to be very full bodied and smooth with no bite and no bitterness. It's what I'm looking for in a Colombian Supremo and that is a very happy discovery. Especially being as it's significantly cheaper than other coffees that don't taste as well to me. Rather than write another review, if my experience with this brand changes for the worse I'll come back here and amend this one. If you don't see a dated update below then what I have to say about this coffee still stands. Update 17 March 2015: I noticed my stock of this coffee was running a little low, it's been six months since I bought this bag so I thought maybe some people would like to know how it stores and tastes after that amount of time. Bear in mind that I store all my coffees in air tight opaque containers, that's important if you're going to keep several varieties of coffee on hand and not use up any one variety quickly. I also store my coffees, pipe tobacco and cigars in a temperature and humidity controlled environment That probably isn't a big issue with air tight containers, I just have room for my coffees where I store my tobaccos. I know the "freshly roasted" snobs are going to turn their noses up so if you're one of them, go ahead and stop reading right now. I don't care what you have to say because taste is more important than theory to me. I know what tastes good to me, I won't benefit from anyone telling me that what I like I can't possibly like because blah, blah, blah. This coffee has stored extremely well. It has gotten even smoother and more mellow with storage but is still as bold as when I first opened the bag and dumped it in a container. This may be why some folks say a new bag doesn't taste like the one they got before, if the coffee has had time to mature between when the bag was first opened and when the new, freshly roasted bag was opened then there's going to be a difference in taste. I have enough of the first bag left that the bag I'm having delivered today will sit in it's air tight container for a while; but just to experiment I'll brew a pot with beans from the new bag when it comes to see if there's a difference. I'll try to come back and update this review when I've had time to evaluate the new bag of whole beans. So far I'm very pleased with this coffee and it's the only Columbian Supremo that I've ordered more than once from Amazon. If the new bag is as good as the first one I'm probably done searching for Supremo. If not, I'll let everyone know.

Very good coffee

A lot of reviewers are describe the coffee as a few things: rich, smooth, fresh, no acid taste, not bitter at all, best coffee ever, high quality, superior, etc. No. Absolutely not. None of the above. The coffee doesn't bloom. The expiration date several months after. There is no indication of roast date on the back. The company gives no indication of roast date other than the coffee being immediately packaged after roasting (who knows how long the coffee has been sitting before it was shipped?). This coffee is definitely better than the big chains like Starbucks who leave their packaged coffee on shelves for months. But it is no where near fresh roasted coffee. Oh yeah, the beans are very oily. Medium roast beans have a hint of oil on the surface. Just FYI, oily beans are an indication of old beans. Oils leak out of the beans over time. More time = more oil. Longer/darker roasts also bring out more oils. Someone mentioned that the coffee gets "richer & richer as the oils mature werks after you get them.". There are way too many red flags in that statement. Just no. Where did you even hear that from? Rant done.

I’ve been regularly buying these beans for the last 5 months. I love that this coffee is freshly roasted. I get the Colombian Supremo and usually grind the beans right before I brew. This is the best coffee I’ve had in a long time. It is balanced without any bitterness or sourness to it. Truly a great value. I highly recommend!

I spent a couple of days figuring out the best grind coarseness and amount of coffee to use for the best flavor, but in the end, I just don't like it. It doesn't mean it's bad, in fact, the beans look good and grind very well, but it's just not coffee that I want to drink.

Read al lot of positive comments, decided to try. Ordered 3 different packages. However coffee doesn’t meet the expectations. Coffee should be light to medium roast but in the package it is strong roast, which nobody likes at home. I will continue buying my local brand, where the roast intensity is stable. Had so much hopes for this coffee and it turned into completely waist of money.
