 All Star Java December 7, 2008
This Eight O'clock coffee is most assuredly, 'finestkind'! You can go out and plunk down bundles of bucks for your 'high-fallutin' name-brand coffee, but you'll only be spittin' in the wind. The French roast is robust, smooth, and aromatic, with no trace of bitterness. The original [red bag] is excellent, as well. We usually buy the whole beans and grind them at home. If you're not already using the Melita funnel drip system, give it a try. After all, your coffee will only be as good as the water you start with! Have you ever experienced a decidedly sour cup of coffee? If you have, look no further than the coffee-maker's water delivery system. In between batches, the stagnant water in the tubing becomes a bit funky. I once tore-down a typical brewing machine, the greenish slime that I found in the water lines was the stuff of sci-fi thrillers! Incidentally, for all of you coffee connoisseur snobs out there, if this brand of coffee was good enough for my parents' ol' percolator, than it's certainly plenty good enough for me.
Smooth, full-flavored, great value August 30, 2008
We are daily home brewers and love full flavors like French Roast. After bouncing around from various retailer chain-branded coffees (which were inconsistent in my opinion), and occasionally trying the stronger roasts of more maintstream coffee brands, we decided to try Eight O'Clock. I think I heard it was highly regarded by Consumer Reports. Aside from the convenience and value of buying in bulk here, we are loving the taste - smooth, rich and no bitterness. Great product.
 I'm not that excited about it. August 1, 2008
I purchased a 12-oz bag (whole bean) of the french roast based on the several glowing reviews posted here. After finishing off the bag, I have to say I'm not too impressed. It's okay, in that I would definitely choose this over any Folgers coffees that I've ever had, but the roast was SO dark that it tasted burnt (I mean completely charred), which masked most of the flavors that might have been there.
It's possible that I just got a bad batch -- that happens from time to time. But honestly, I'm not willing to buy another bag to find out. I've recently started buying from the Roasterie and Atomic Cafe -- with coffee so good, that there's no going back for me. :-)
Compare cost per ounce April 9, 2008
This is an excellent coffee, but the packages are too small. The alternate, 5-pound bag of the same product is much more expensive. As of today's (4/9/2008) pricing, this small bag is 44 cents per ounce, but the 5-pound bag is 52 cents per ounce, about 18 percent higher for a more efficient package.

I don't know why this product received so many 5 star reviews. I would rate this somewhere between Folgers and Rocamojo Coffee (one of the better coffee beans that you can buy on Amazon). It is about half the price of Rocamojo coffee but it is also twice as expensive as Folgers. Does it taste 2x better than Folgers? No. Is it 50% as good as Rocamojo? Yes.
