Don Francisco’s Double French, Dark Roast Ground Coffee (28 oz Bag)

This Coffee actually surprised us, we taste many many coffees a week so when we see something like this we just have to order it. Most of the time we find that if it’s a very pretty package it’s not really that good. But in this case, they pay as much attention to the coffee as they do the packaging. and that is a good thing.

First off the smell just radiated through the kitchen and it was pretty heavenly and one of the coffee aromas that you just can’t wait to pour into your cup, mug, tumbler so have you. We were really thrown back by it, a very deep dark delicious aroma.

We expected it to be bitter and no it was not at all ( Well to us any way we realize that everyone has different tastes and opinions) To be honest we really do not like dark roast coffees but we really like this one. But again this is just our opinion if you decide to order and try it then we hope you like it as much as we do.

We are not going to pump you up as to why you need to buy this coffee, we are just here to show you how many brands of coffee that are out there and that the choice to try them is entirely up to you. We really enjoy trying new coffees. As a kid of the 70s I am used to very limited choices and now there are so many amazing brands out there we get giddy as all hell when we are looking for a new brand to try.

So take a chance and enjoy whatever brands you can life is short.

Death Wish Coffee. When you absolutely positively have to be up for the next 72 hours this is your coffee ! .. A little more pricey than most but still none the less way worth the extra dollars..

Victor Allen Coffee….

We use this coffee all the time we run on down to Restaurant Depot and get a few boxes of the K- Cups because they do not simply last a full week we just go through them that fast and well we are working literally 24/7 so to be honest that is why we go through it so fast ..

AmazonFresh Colombia Ground Coffee, Medium Roast, 32 Ounce

To be truthful we did not think we would ever like this coffee, actually I did not think I was ever going to like it.. But one of the interns got it on the sneak tip and well gave it to me when I asked for a cup and after drinking two full cups they told me what I drank . I was pretty much hooked after that..

So there you have it the best three coffees this week and I have to admit they are a solid three ..

Please enjoy if you decide to go with any one of these !

Kona Coffee From Koa, I have never heard of this coffee before. I have never even heard of this coffee brand whatsoever neither. But we are coffee reviewers so I was on the fence about this as well.

Ok I admit it there was no way what so ever I was going to try this, I saw the bag on the counter and said to myself. I’m going to go and do something constructive and edit some content for our YouTube Channel.

Then after a while, the smell of the most amazing coffee hit me like a freight train. I said to myself OK I gotta have a cup of that. I broke out my tumbler and poured a nice big cup lol but it was worth it. The taste was amazing even before I put my creamer in it. At one point I was thinking of just having it black. But I saw the Reese's Creamer in there and well yea I just had to.

And of course it was even more amazing even after I put the creamer in it, and it just had the right amount of pick me up too. Not very strong but not weak neither. Some coffee's are just not that strong and you even up having to put more grounds in just to make it decent but that is not the case here.

As a person who drinks at least a pot of coffee a day, I need my caffeine sugar not so much but my caffeine oh hell yea.

The Story Ok Koa...

As taken from their website...

This is the Kona Coffee Forbes called “Best in America”

In 1997, Koa Coffee started as a small family business. A true “Mom & Pop” with a little boy and his dog running and playing in the Hawaiian sunshine as they tended their precious Kona beans.

Blue Ribbons and Buzz...

Over the years, our hand-picked Kona Coffee has won the coveted Gevalia Cupping Competition, PCCA Coffee of the Year, we were featured in Forbes "Top 10 Coffees of the World" and we made Forbes' "50 of America's Best" as the "Best Coffee in America."

With much Mahalo to our friends and our many loyal customers, Koa has grown and continues to grow. Along the way, we became the American dream, proudly providing employment to the many staff who bring their friendly smiles and Aloha spirit to Koa Coffee.

Our Commitment to Pure Kona Coffee has never changed…

Except, perhaps, to become better as we adopted more quality control than we had in those early days. We have better roasters, so every batch is perfect, every time. We have better packaging too, so our coffee smells just as fresh when you open the bag as it did when we sealed it. These days we are also exploring other premium coffees from Hawaii and celebrating their unique flavors.

Some things will never change…

We still pick every bean by hand, harvesting only when the beans are cherry red. No mechanical harvesting that would mix bitter green beans in with the red. We have real people roasting your coffee and real people packing every order. And, we still cup every roast to be sure the taste of Aloha is spot on, every time.

At Koa Coffee, They have always been dedicated to offering our customers the finest Kona Coffee experience, while also sharing the beauty and Aloha of the Hawaiian Islands. That’s who we are, and that's who we will always be. Much, much Aloha to you!

As You Can See...

Their story is amazing and trust me I wish I knew about them back in 1997 you see back then coffees were still coming of age so there still were not many options and well the internet was still growing so you just could not go online with ease and order your favorite coffee..

But that was then and this is now so don't take my word for it try some for yourself. Listen I can tell you all day long how we love it, then you see some other review with someone who did not like it so its just best that you see for yourself if you like it or not.

Personally we hope you do...

So…

After patiently waiting for Amazon to deliver our latest coffee to do a review on. I open the cabinet and find a box of Victor Allen’s Donut Shop Blend Coffee. I totally forgot to review this order, we have just been so off-kilter lately. I must have looked at this box 50 times in the past week. And it just dawned on me.

Now there are many brands that offer a Donut Shop Blend and quite frankly they are ok. Hey I’m just in it for the Caffeine and the taste, but I gotta say this is really a good tasting coffee even before the creamer. Sometimes I just like a good cup of joe black with no sugar, and this brand I can drink either way. Its a mild tasting blend no and yes its a bit bitter but that goes away after a few sips once you get used to the taste.

Now again many people will have their own opinion and that is perfectly fine. But it is in our finding that this brand has really done a good job with this blend.

About Victor Allen…

Victor Allen’s Coffee was founded in 1979 in Madison, Wisconsin. We strive to consistently offer the finest premium coffee with pride in bean selection and expertise in roasting and packaging.

They source our coffee from more than 25 countries around the world. The vast majority of our beans are 100% Arabica beans, which are known for their quality, taste and smooth flavor.

All of their products are gluten free and certified Kosher.

All of their coffee products are non-GMO.

Again…

You see one or two good reviews for this coffee, and you will see one or two bad ones. Everyone has their own opinions on this brand and blend. Our only advise is to try it for yourself. Only you know what you like, we are here just give you a thought that is all. Now we actually hope you like it as much as we do. Because this is actually our second box of this brand and blend.

So there you have it! Good Luck!

Do you want to know what the best time of our day is? The very early morning when we fire up the coffee pot choose a brand that we decide to review and make a few pots. And the best thing is that its not your everyday run of the mill coffee.

its not your Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts or maybe even one of your local gas station coffees like Speedway or WAWA. Which sells millions dollars of cups a day no harm no foul. But its your everyday run of the mill coffee that you must have had day in day out over the past few years.

Now you come to this brand Kirkland Signature Coffee, not something that you see everyday driving down the street. You will not find this stuff in any gas station or any other place you can just walk in and grab a good cup of coffee.

Now I am going to spare you the normal description they always say about coffee. Telling you The beans are hand-picked and specially selected to ensure the finest cup of joe. After harvesting, the Colombian coffee beans undergo a careful roasting process until they reach a deep, robust color. They’re immediately ground so each can captures that full-bodied flavor you love from Kirkland coffee. As soon as you smell that sweet, smooth aroma, you’ll know your next cup of java features only the highest-quality Colombian Supremo coffee.

Even tho I just typed it well you get the picture.

Now we hope you order it and try it out and enjoy it
