Kicking Horse Whole Bean Coffee, Z-Wrangler Medium Roast, 16 Ounce

I even got friends to give this coffee a try! One of my two favorites. I use it in both a coffee press and an expresso machine.

The brand of coffee is the best I try different types and am never been disappoint me.

I do love this bean quite a bit. I'm obsessed with the Kick Ass Blend & usually buy that, but every once in awhile I like a change. I had tried a few of their other blends and been a bit disappointed (three sisters, 454 horsepower) but not with this one! While I still think that the Kick ass is better, this blend is also very good! It's a very dark roast, so light roast drinkers beware! It's very robust in flavor but still smooth which is sometimes a tough combo to create. I think though however it's a bit low on the caffeine side. I realize most dark roasts are lower in caffeine compared to light roasts, this one seemed especially so. It could just be me, but after a couple of cups I was still groggy. Usually after 2 cups (my cup is 22 oz. by the way) I'm ready to start the day.

Best decaf on the market, and good price

First I use an AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker which has become my go to coffeemaker.Kick Ass Dark - this is my everyday cup of coffee. I try others and come back to this as my regular. It is strong, dark with a smooth flavor. Never bitter.454 -Very strong flavor. This is a great way to start the day. I have a Subscribe and Save on their Kick Ass Blend and this is a nice alternative. I like strong coffee and this may be the best I have had. Love too see a Kona Blend from them.Grizzly Claw - can you say chocolate? Drinking my first cup and this is a great blend. I love the chocolate overtones.Overall, Kicking Horse has earned 5 stars for a great series of blends. They are consistent and roast quality blends of coffee.

When I had to drop caffeinated coffee due to hypertension, Kicking Horse was the second decaffeinated coffee I tried (I went from caffeinated Keurig dark magic pods). I love it's boldness and coffee taste, yeah sometimes it's a hassle to grind beans the the coffee taste and smell is excellent. A plus is that I now have a good supply of grounds for my garden.

While I would like to write a real "foodie" review, beautifully articulating the nuanced flavors and how balanced it is, with perfect acidity and... you know the rest, I can't. What I can say is that I was a coffee drinker for about 20 years, make that a coffee addict, Then I burned out on it about three years ago and switched to tea. I'm not looking to return to coffee but I have the taste for it every now and then, and other than a good espresso, I'm usually disappointed. I got this for my wife, who is still a coffee drinker, and I can say that this is the first coffee I have enjoyed in a long time. Since taste is so subjective, that might not help people reading this, but as a benchmark, I find Starbucks too bitter, Duncan and Wawa too weak, and I used to be a big La Colombe fan. Now I'm a Kicking Horse fan too. We might try other roasts but this one was excellent.

OK coffee but way over priced
