Donut Shop Medium Roast Whole Bean Coffee - Fresh Roasted Coffee Beans - Pairs with Donuts & Pastries - 32 Oz

I've been looking for coffee beans that make a solid cup of coffee, and I'm delighted to say that I found it! Coffee preferences and tastes are very subjective, and what's good to one person might not be to another, so keep that in mind. What I want in a good cup of coffee is a straight forward coffee taste. No bitterness, no burnt taste, just something smooth and simple. I don't use a lot of sweetener in my coffee, I generally make it in my Keurig and add a dollop of heavy whipping cream and sometimes a teaspoon of chocolate Keto Chow for the sweetness and flavor. This coffee tastes like a lightly sweetened coffee candy when I make it that way. When I opened the bag, I was welcomed with the delicious aroma of quality coffee, and this bean does deliver on that promise. It's a solid bold flavor without being too strong, and the coffee taste isn't lost when I add the chocolate keto chow and heaving whipping cream. Once this bag is almost empty I'll begin subscribing to it for regular deliveries. it's that good.

I have a bad habit of buying expensive Starbucks drinks. I have been trying to get away from buying Starbucks and have successfully done so in the past. Albeit temporarily. Part of that success is having coffee beans at home that I can grind every morning to make myself fresh coffee. And I have to say I am very pleased with the taste of this coffee as well as the value. It has become more and more difficult to find good whole bean coffee selections at the local store so just ordering it ahead on Amazon has been my solution. I will definitely buy this again. I do not consider myself a connoisseur. I am just an average Joe looking for a real good cup.

I tried this Whole bean coffee for the first time. It was on sale for $10 a 32 oz bag so I could not pass up that deal. It worked great in my Espresso machine and had no issues with pressure. The beans are not oily so I did not get any build up. I got the Medium Roast. I usually use dark roast beans. It was smooth an not bitter. It was a bit lighter than I like, as I said i usually get a darker roast. Overall for the price and quality you can't beat it. I do recommend trying this brand out. It was really good. Much better than some higher priced / well known brands

1st off, I'm NOT a coffee expert. But I love coffee. There was a little independent coffee house I went to for a few years. I loved their regular coffee because it had "something" about the flavor, or feel that I really liked. They closed & I never found out what kind of coffee it was. Since then, I've bought a hand bean grinder, a French Press, a Krupps burr electric grinder, looking for THAT coffee. I'm NOT interested in espresso, latte's or any of that stuff. Just good coffee. I've been trying a bunch of different brands & types of whole bean, but none had what I was looking for. UNTIL NOW! The Real Good Coffee Co. "Donut Shop Medium Roast" is what I've been looking for. The beans are very dark & shiny (for those that know coffee beans). When the bag is opened, the aroma is not any different than I expected. But the coffee I get is what I've been searching for. I've made it in my French Press, My Hamilton Beach single cup coffee maker, & just threw in a handful of grounds in boiled water on a camp stove. Each time, I'm really satisfied.. I know coffee flavor is a personal thing & some folks get carried away with the "Art or Science" of coffee brewing. But I just want a good cup or tall mug of coffee a few times a day & this is it. So long Arbuckles, Starbucks, etc., etc. Incidentally, the Krupps burr grinder grinds too fine for French press, even on coarsest setting. Hand grinder is better but more work. (Although the finished-brewed- coffee is about the same.)

taste good

It’s not bad coffee, but it’s not particularly special.

My wife and I have been brewing coffee for years, mainly to get a better bargain than what you get driving through Starbucks (PNW native here, these are fighting words already where we're from), but also because the quality compared to drip coffee from these types of establishments is either burnt, old, bitter, take your pick. It hasn't always been this way, we used to watch our checking account drain as the addictive convenience of getting a morning boost in the car was too good to turn down. But the pandemic (and with it, working from home) brought us back to brewing our own more consistently, and believing we would be doing this for a while we thought it necessary to put some time and effort into researching what roasts would earn their way into our cupboard. Heed all who read further: your search for your new favorite home-brewed coffee ends here. We have tried all of "Real Good Coffee Co.'s" whole bean roasts which we grind daily and drip through our Braun filtered coffee maker (another topic but wow, best kitchen appliance ever), and not one disappointed. Every. Single. Batch. About as fresh as you can imagine, so much so that my pregnant wife will open it when it arrives just to smell it, never at a time of day where we are even brewing coffee, it's great. I tend to go towards the Breakfast blend myself, she prefers the dark, but we have not gotten a single batch that was even slightly off in terms of freshness. Very consistent on the roast, so we expect and are delivered the same quality every time. And in an air-tight 2 lb. bag you definitely get a killer deal per cup compared to the afore mentioned drive-thrus. We tried so many highly-rated roasteries from all over the world in our quest, and plenty of small local shops as well (good ones out there also, support local! Just a different experience-go through their drive-thrus!), and RGCC wins every time. I'm almost certain I've formed an addiction, and aknowledging that for me is the first step to buying more bags, baby. This is a 100% unsolicited review, and in fact I very rarely write reviews (don't let the wordiness of this one fool you, I just finished a cup and the power of the bean is manifesting through my thumbs), however the product these guys put out very much warranted some praise. Plus, it's important that folks recognize the greatness that comes out of the PNW (sorry 'bux, not to knock you here, you play your role), and these guys fit the script!

I love the flavor of this coffee it's strong but smooth and gives you a great energy in the morning.

Coffee tastes great! Bag was broken when received though. Beans spreading all over the place in the box. Received an offer of a full refund or replacement later on. Great customer service experience too. Will continue using their products!

This light roast is a great coffee, not the best coffee I've ever had, but miles above the average.

Bit darker than what I'd call a 'light roast' but good coffee none the less.

This shouldn't really be marketed as a light roast, I found it to be pretty darkly roasted and not the flavour I was after. I honestly couldn't even finish it and ended up giving it to a friend that doesn't mind a darker/almost burnt flavour. The price is pretty good, but again, it's not a light roast by any means, and doesn't have the same flavour. Just take a look at the beans, they are basically black in colour and shiny/greasy looking.
