Very Good! May 10, 2010 I have been buying whole organic coffee beans for a few years because organic doesn't seem to bother my stomach like regular beans would tend to do. I have been drinking this coffee for a couple weeks and enjoying it very much. The taste is great, it's not too strong or weak - will definitely buy it again!

A bit "Hit or Miss" Apr 13, 2010 I have been chasing that perfect cup for some time now, lately through Amazon by buying and splitting the bags with a neighbor. I use a press, the neighbor goes drip. The first bag of this Sumatra was the best consumer coffee that either of us had ever found. It shipped to us extremely fresh, still working off gas in the bag and foaming in my press pot. The aroma from the bag was strong and wonderful and it carried through to the press and into the cup. Bag #1 was easily the best coffee either of us had ever brewed.
The second bag was quite a disappointment, not stale but also not really fresh, with only marginal aroma in the bag and not even recognizable as coffee in the cup. However, even at that the flavor still matched up close to our previous best finds here at Amazon- about the Fogbuster level. We decided to give it another try, and bag #3 was somewhere in between, but still only a pretender when compared to that first bag.
One interesting thing about this coffee, which I have experienced with no other: I am single and make a press first thing in the morning. Then (coffee connoisseurs stop reading now) warm additional cups up in the microwave as the morning goes on. Something about this coffee takes the microwave rewarming far, far better than any other coffee I have ever used. I don't understand why, but it does- all the way into the evening if need be (OK, I'll admit it, sometimes even overnight). Single guy, what can I say, but that is a significant bonus for me.
My shipments come from Lexington, KY. I assume Amazon has warehouses around the country. Part of my fresh/not-so-fresh problem might be due to the volume consideration and turnaround at that particular warehouse. We have decided to give the Sumatra one more try but I feel we will more than likely be moving along after bag #4. I'll let you know how it goes.

coffee lover Mar 05, 2010 we have been using starbucks coffee for about 4 years and when we saw this coffee on amazon we read the reviews and decide to try it. It was very good, not bitter, we like our coffee quite strong so that was a pleasant surprise.

Beans are very fresh and oily, taste is nice and bold. This is my new favorite coffee Mar 01, 2010 I like my coffee nice and bold. I normally drink Starbucks Sumatra blend which has been my long-time favorite. I decided to give the Organic Camano Island Sumatra Dark Roast Whole-Bean coffee a try and boy am I happy I did. The coffee arrived tightly sealed in a clear bag. I will warn you that it's difficult to impossible to open this bag in a way they you can continue to store the beans in it. I would be prepared with some type of storage container of some sort. I opened the bag and found the most fragrant, freshest coffee that I have found so far. The beans were nice and oily the way I like them. I ground them very fine like espresso and this is one of the best cups of coffee that I have ever tasted. I am absolutely very impressed with this coffee, especially since I had never heard of the brand before. Not to mention with the subscribe and save discount I was able to get a very good price on this coffee. I will definitely be a return customer time and time again. I feel very comfortable recommending this coffee to everyone.
