Independence Coffee Co. Madalyn's Backyard Pecan Flavored Mellow Body, Light Roast Whole Bean Coffee, 5 Pound Bag (Packaging May Vary)

I've gone through many, many different coffees with varying levels of satisfaction. I tried this coffee in pod form first, and was very impressed by it. But as we all know the pods can be pricey, and generate waste (although the pod form of this coffee is compostable.) So I decided to buy a bag of the beans, and to me this tastes even better than the pods. Of course, that is partially because I can ground the beans fresh and have better control over the brewing process. But I must say that the aroma and flavor of this coffee is superb. The flavor is very smooth and not so acidic and bitter as many other coffees I have tried. I guarantee that if you have a good taste for coffee, you will love this. The caffeine content is really good too. A cup or two of this wakes me right up. And lastly, this coffee is roasted in small batches by a small business, and I believe in supporting small businesses, especially when they make a product as fine as this. These beans are roasted in a small town in Brenham, Texas and I think they've done a fantastic job with their coffee! I've got this set as my coffee subscription now. One thing to note is that while this bag of beans may be slightly more expensive than some value brand coffee, the taste and aroma is unparalleled. You get what you pay for. I encourage anyone to try this great coffee and support this small business and their awesome coffee! I am very happy with this product.

We got this at a local store when visiting Texas to bring home to Georgia. So happy to find it again on Amazon! Great taste! Highly recommend. Smells amazing and very smooth to drink.

Smooth tasting.

Really good coffee.

This is the best coffee ever. Make it fresh everyday. The aroma smells so good we have now put on subscription so we don't run out.

taste great!

I live in NC now, so I can't get my fav coffee anymore from HEB :( Now I gotta get from Amazon, which is more than I want to spend. So, I don't get it as often as I'd like to. Gotta treat myself from time to time though...

The most important thing about buying a whole bean is that you want to buy within a couple of weeks of time of roasting. Because after two weeks later, the flavor starts to decline rapidly. In this coffee bean case, I ordered it wrong, I wanted it regular (without flavored) whole coffee bean, not flavored coffee bean, but due to my mistake, I ordered this Pecan flavored coffee. I could have returned it, but since I opened it already, I did not want to return back which will cost the company. Since it was my own mistake by ordering this, I decided it just to try the coffee. Definitely, it has a lot of pecan flavors, actually too much. The problem of the most of flavored coffee is that those companies tend to use too much flavors to cover up the bad coffee quality and bad roasting. The roasting of this bean wasn't so bad, actually it was evenly roasted, however, it just seems like this coffee was roasted a quite a while ago. So all I can taste was the pecan flavor and some bitterness underneath. Also, it would help if the company can write the roasted date on the bag.
