Eight O'Clock Coffee Hazelnut Whole Bean Coffee, Medium Roast, 11 Ounce (Pack of 4) - Buttery, Smooth & Nutty

My go to coffee bean! It is always fresh and perfectly roasted. The taste is like magic in the morning and so is the smell as it brews. I buy the Colombian whole bean, it is the perfect blend of caffeine and just the right strength to get me going. Unlike some other brands this is roasted just right so the acidity content is very low and causes no issues. I order on Amazon when my local stores either run out or the price goes to high! It is $5.00 cheaper on Amazon than at my local store.

It's good, but it takes a while to get the right grind. A medium grind seems best, using four tablespoons, scant for a weaker pot or heaping for a strong one.

Beans looked good (as expected.) Good amount for the price. Saved me a trip 40 minutes away to the nearest place that sells it without price gouging.

I was used to drinking very pricey Sumatra Mandheling coffee and loved the rich flavor, but the price kept going up, and it has become too much of a luxury for me to buy. After researching cheap coffee options, it became clear to me that Eight O'Clock 100% Colombian Peaks was the best bang for the buck. It doesn't have the rich, earthy undertones and mouthfeel of Sumatra Manheling, but it's better than a lot of cheap coffee. It has a rather thin, one-dimensional flavor in my humble opinion. Using more doesn't help, because if too much is used, it tends to have a rather sour taste. UPDATE*** I figured out how to fix the sour taste. I did some reading, and I saw this... "One common cause of sour coffee is under extracting during the brewing process. This happens when not enough flavor is taken out of the coffee grounds while brewing. The longer your coffee brews, the more sugars are extracted from the grounds, making the coffee taste sweeter." My Ninja coffee maker has a "rich" setting, which gives more time for the extraction to happen. After brewing a pot on this setting, it was like magic; the coffee tastes remarkably better! Decent, cheap coffee on a budget.

This coffee is really delicious

I have always favored boldly flavored, dark roasted coffee. A few years ago, I saw this in the store and just went insane over the richness. The aroma was intoxicating. Since then, I had become lax in my coffee making ritual, having settled for the quickness of a Keurig and whatever dark roast K-cups are on sale. When I go to work in the morning, I just don't have time to make a proper cup of coffee. On the weekends, however, I have gone back into the habit of using my French press. If I have the time, it is my preferred way of making coffee. The Italian dark roast is not as easy to find in stores as it once was, but I thought, "Why not try Amazon?" They had it and this coffee is as good as I remember. I used to treat myself to Starbucks Sumatra, but when I tried this, I found a new favorite flavor. Sumatra is good, but I personally prefer 8 O'Clock Italian Dark Roast. For the record, I do not think it is better BECAUSE it is less expensive. I think that it is better AND IT JUST SO HAPPENS to be less expensive. Now if there are better, more expensive dark roasts out there, I would not hesitate to treat myself. But if you want a good, dark roast without spending a lot, I highly recommend it.

Hands down, this is one of the best values you’ll find for a high‑quality espresso. The only coffee I’ve had that rivals this dark French roast is Eight O’Clock’s Italian Espresso whole bean. As an espresso connoisseur, these are the only two I buy. If I had to choose between them, I’d pick the Italian Espresso whole bean every time—simply because I prefer whole bean. That’s the only deciding factor. When whole bean isn’t available, the French Roast ground is my go‑to without hesitation.

Great coffee and great value. They were freshly roasted

El producto muy bueno el precio no tanto

This coffee is becoming harder and harder to find, especially at a reasonable cost. Hopefully we will be able to find it again.

Es un producto que me encanta su sabor, excelente café.

Enjoying the aroma and taste of the coffee

I have been brewing espresso for the last few years. Thought I take a chance on this bean. Turns out bad! Beans is definitely not espresso quality! Tasted cheap and bland. Taught me a good lesson and serves to reminds me in the future. Cheap beans terrible espresso!
