La Colombe Nizza Medium Roast Drip Grind Ground Coffee - Notes of Milk Chocolate, Nuts & Brownie with Honey-Sweet Roasted Nuttiness, 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)

This is excellent coffee. A dark roast with smooth taste.

Great coffee. I drink my coffee black and this has superior flavor to the major brands found in supermarkets.

This is my favorite coffee ever, discovered during the last few years I worked in Manhattan. The price for the bags was way too high for me to have at home, until one day I checked and found it on sale for under $9 at Amazon. This wonderful Corsica blend tasted even better in my Black & Decker coffeemaker than it did in the city. Loved it so much that I bought it again, at a higher price but still discounted. This second bag was a horrible disappointment. It was missing most of its flavor and all of its bouquet. No holes in the packaging, but an expiration date of only 4 months ahead - not sure if this is typical. I made smaller cups twice as strong and got some taste out of it. Since it's a food product, it's not returnable, though I suppose you could get insistent with Amazon about returning it if it was bad. So, buying it seems to be a gamble, but if you win, you really win big. STILL the best coffee I've ever had. (The Monaco is good too.)

Upgraded our coffee to La Colombe a few months ago after battling heartburn and gut issues on another (on every corner) brand. Never bitter, rich, bold flavor - adding a splash of whole milk or cream takes the taste up a notch IMO. We buy pre-ground and use tap water (did I lose you all there? Sacrilege, I know!) but imagine how good it will be with your whole bean burr grinder and filtered glacier water poured over that slow drip (collecting dust in the cabinet above your microwave). --- oh, you're still here. See, I get it. We've got kids, busy schedules, draining corporate jobs, books to read, gardens to water, blah blah and I want to spend less time standing over coffee beans without sacrificing that fresh incredible flavor that once made me a coffee snob. Seriously - this is great quality for an even greater cost and you skip the snobbery and get back to enjoying your daily grind (ps if anyone is looking for burr grinders, aeropress, slow drips, etc ....hit me up on FB Marketplace 😉)

I recently decided to give this coffee another shot, having purchased it before in whole bean form. However, my experience with the pre-ground version has left me thoroughly disappointed. It's disheartening to say that this particular batch lacks any semblance of flavor and freshness. The aroma that once greeted me when I brewed the whole beans is now conspicuously absent. Instead, there's a faint, almost stale scent that wafts from the grounds as they steep. The very essence that defines a good cup of coffee seems to have evaporated along with the grinding process. Upon taking the first sip, I couldn't help but notice the pronounced absence of the vibrant notes that characterized the whole bean version. It's as if the flavor profile has been muted, leaving only a vague suggestion of what this coffee could have been. The lack of depth and complexity in taste is evident, and the cup feels one-dimensional and uninspiring. Perhaps the most disappointing aspect of this experience is the lingering taste of age. The coffee seems to have lost its youthful vigor, and instead, I'm left with a shadow of what once might have been a rich and enjoyable brew. The old, tired taste that permeates each sip serves as a constant reminder of the potential that has gone unfulfilled. As a coffee enthusiast, I believe in giving products a fair chance. I had high hopes for this ground coffee, especially after my positive encounter with its whole bean counterpart. Unfortunately, this experience has taught me the value of retaining the integrity of the bean until the very last moment, preserving the nuances that make each cup a delight.

Excellent coffee, smooth flavor, not bitter.

Deep bodied, full richness and a texture so smooth. One cup brings on a sunny disposition that laughs in the facelessness of procrastination. It has been added to my list of gifting.

taste as promised and expected but the beans are /were bit dry compare store bought
