As someone who like bulletproof coffee, I totally get the mouth feel comments. I only have a drip maker at the moment, so it sounds like a press is the way to go.

French press definitely makes a nice cup of coffee, just not with these beans. Pretty disappointed in how bad this coffee was. It's got a strange flavor that's somewhat reminiscent of bourbon, but it's also an odd, hard to place flavor that overpowers the natural coffee flavor. Thanks FB ads for selling me garbage 😂

I like a good Kona blend 👍

Agreed. Kona is my all-time favorite. Hard to find a blend stateside that isn't 90% arabica though and there isn't a mandated standard of how much Kona has to be in it before they can label or a Kona blend. Jessica and I went to Kailua Kona on vacation one year, I got back and quit drinking coffee for probably a month. Rurnt me. Even the little marathon station by the hotel was using 100% kona. It's cheaper to just go 100% than import something to blend it with there. If you get the chance to leave the kids at home for a vacation i'd highly recommend it as a vacation spot. Especially if you like sushi too.

If 💯 Kona wasn’t so dang expensive I’d be drinking it daily 😂

So many options especially on the Amazon , if you like bold strongly caffeinated , they sell some of worlds strongest coffee on there I’m usually good with whatever is at the store if in Amish country I’ll buy a bag

I have drank a BUNCH of BRCC coffee in the last few years. The quality of their products has gone downhill, imo. Either that or both Nancy's and my taste for coffee has gone off the rails from Covid or something. We stopped our subscription several months ago and have been trying the different varieties we find at Costco. "Just Black" and "Beyond Black", both of which I still have at least 5lbs each of, are just not as good tasting as they once were to me.
