Fresh Roasted Coffee, Brazil Minas Gerais, 12 oz, Light Roast, Kosher, Whole Bean

This coffee is excellent. Notes of brown sugar and fruit on the palate. I find it light enough for mornings without being boring, and it has enough acid and complexity for an afternoon or night cup. It’s light roast so the beans are not oily, however not so lightly roasted that you miss out on the subtle flavors. Coffee appears to be quite fresh, no bitterness or stale flavors to be found. Shipping was quick and I’m honestly really excited to try all of the different varieties they have. This company has an almost endless selection of light and medium roasts, really glad I tried this.

Edit - since my original review I've bought this two more times and am ordering another 2 lbs bag now. The Brazil Minas Gerais is consistently great. This has become my daily cup. ------ I've reviewed quite a few of these Fresh Roasted Coffee offerings the last several months, they're quickly becoming my go-to brew. This review is for the Brazil Minas Gerais light roast. This coffee is fantastic, I've been thrilled since the moment I scooped some out of the bag. While brewing the scent is faintly floral and fruity and it's got a good bloom to it. Taste-wise, it's very chocolatey with very slight fruit and sweet hints, and mouth feel is thick, rather malty and almost syrupy. It's so good! I can't recommend this enough, I can't say enough good things about it, and my recommendation is to just buy a bag and enjoy. I'll definitely be getting more. ------ Disclaimer: I French press all my coffee in a steel press, and use an electric kettle for careful temperature control of the water (202f at time of pour) and I pre-warm the press with warm water before brewing. Your results may vary if you brew with different methods like moka pot, espresso, chemex, Clever dripper, or standard coffee maker.

Good tasting coffee. Very mild. Not acidic at all.

I used to get brazil single origin coffee beans from a source that's no longer available. I found another brand of comparable quality but it's very expensive and the only bag size they sell is 12 oz. So now to this Fresh Roasted Coffee brand: it definitely tastes very similar to other single origin brazil coffee beans I tried in the past, not acidic, not bitter, somewhat sweet, with a very slight earthy note to it. I'm not a coffee snob but I can tell that the roast is light, just like what it says on the bag. Price wise, it's within my budget, and the good thing is that they offer larger bag sizes. Overall I'm satisfied with this purchase. I hope the seller is able to maintain the product quality.

Possibly the best 'rsik' I've ever taken on buying a coffee I had not previously tried. I purchased it based on the specific location in Brazil where these beans are from, and that a light roast was promised. I had tried another roaster's beans from the same region and fell in love with it. And I was not disappointed. This is full bodied, rich, aromatic - nothing (overly) 'light' in the taste (only in comparison with the roasted-in-an-ashtray-tasting coffee often used for Americanos), and yet there's a spaciousness in the taste to allow sublte hues to shine through. There's a much appreciated, beautiful marriage of mellow and robust here, as well as a comforting chocolatey aftertaste.

I'm on my 2nd bag. Watch out for hardened beans or rocks/pebbles. It'll ruin your grinder. Flavor is there but mfr could do a better job sorting and removing rocks or rock solid beans. Stopped my grinder cold and had to work on unbolting the bit to get the rock dislodged and taken out.

Fresh beans, very thick crema, low acidity. Great coffee!

Awful taste, not what I expected. Never again
