User questions & answers

Question:	Is this coffee tested for mold
Answer:	It is a freshly roasted coffee , why should it be tested for mold? This test has a meaning if you buy imported Italian or other origin coffee which is roasted months before appearing on the selves
Question:	Where Is This Grown
Answer:	Roasted and packed in the USA, says Columbia Medium roast Arabica coffee. It does not specifically say where its grown. I would think if you’re really a coffee aficionado you would be questioning where and when it was roasted.
Question:	Why did the price of Colombia coffee beans jump from $2.29 to $17.69 in 2 weeks
Answer:	Market volatility. All commodities rise and fall based on quantity available, political concerns, etc.. it will go down again.
Question:	Does each bag come labeled with a roast date
Answer:	I have a bag of the "Go For The Bold Dark Roast". On the back of the bag, it has "Best By 06 Oct 2018". Below that are a series of meaningless numbers. That gives us no clue as to the roast date.

Fresh is Best

The fresher the beans, the more satisfying the cup. That’s why our coffees are packed soon after roasting with a one-way freshness valve designed to deliver a high-quality experience at its flavorful best.

Expertly Roasted

Each of our coffees is masterfully roasted in individual batches to unlock the peak of aroma and flavor. We take our time so you can savor every sip.

Our Medium Roast

When it comes to medium roasted coffee, it’s a balancing act. Our roastmasters carefully time each batch to ensure the aroma and toasty flavor of the roast complements the beans’ unique characteristics. Great for those who enjoy medium acidity and a fuller body.

Answer:	coffee bean its excellenet!
Question:	Anyone know if this is good for super automatic espresso machines? I am wondering if these beans are oily

Question:	Are the bags resealable? like ziplock
Answer:	The bags are not resealable that I know of. I use a bag clip to close it.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use this in a pour over
Answer:	Good afternoon Patrice, thanks for reaching out! Yes, you can use this coffee in a pour over. Here is the usage we recommend: 4 tbsp (22 grams) of medium grind coffee for every 12 oz of filtered water. Keep in mind that since these are whole coffee beans, you will need to grind the coffee prior to brewing. Please let us know if we can help further as we're happy to reply. Have a wonderful day!Your friends at Real Good Coffee Company
Question:	Would this be a good choice to use when making chocolate covered espresso beans
Answer:	Hi Peter, thanks for reaching out! We would recommend the Breakfast Blend light roast. Since this coffee is lighter, it has more density, and that should help the beans hold up better when you process them. From a taste perspective, the lighter coffee will be slightly more acidic, making the coffee taste come through the chocolate better. Good luck and please let us know how they turn out! Your friends at Real Good Coffee Company

User questions & answers

Question:	Why aren't there any "5 Star" reviews in the past year? Reviews from over a year ago aren't helpful if the taste has changed as I saw in 1 comment
Answer:	I have been ordering this coffee for several years and still love it. I recently switched from using an AeroPress to cold brew and it is still my favorite every day blend. I have tried others and aside from their own Grizzly Claw I have not been able to find another blend that satisfies my taste buds as well. Glady give it 5 stars
Question:	How long the time I can store this coffee
Answer:	I have stored UNOPENED, SEALED 5-pound bags of several different brands of coffee — and this is the important part — in the back of the BOTTOM basket in my freezer successfully (so far!l) for almost seven — that's right SEVEN — YEARS, now. I "Sharpie" the date on each bag upon the start of what may be a long, cold "slumber" in the bowels of my "not-so-cryogenic" freezer, only to choose an "oldie but goodie" from the collection at some far future date. I have yet to be disappointed from opening and enjoying the exquisite aroma, flavor, smoothness, and even "elegance" of the contents of a 5 or 6-plus year old bag. I have done this ONLY with UNOPENED, SEALED *WHOLE BEAN* coffee. I did try some bags of unopened, sealed GROUND coffee, but couldn't get them to "survive" long term freezer storage more than about 18 months before their respective "flavor", aroma, and "smoothness" profiles started to noticeably diminish.
Question:	What is the different between Kick ass dark & Three sisters medium
Answer:	Just a different roast. I can't tell you the taste difference because we've always drink the Kick Ass because of it's low acidity.
Question:	are the beans in this coffee wet processed, and therefore free of mold
Answer:	Fair trade coffee is not guaranteed to be free of mold or mycotoxins. Bad beans can slip through and even often do. Mycotoxins are present in a large percentage of coffee beans and make it into the final drink. However, their levels are far below the safety limit. Unfortunately, fair trade beans are all over the place on the spectrum. It's nice that the market "drives" prices, but in reality, we need to get away from the system they are using currently. Kicking Horse has pretty good coffee though. For almost 10 bucks for 10oz, I'm gonna try to just support locally roasted beans.

User questions & answers

Question:	Hi may I Know the expiration date of this please
Answer:	3/29/19
Question:	Is this coffee used to make their mochas at their coffee chains
Answer:	No. Mochas are made with milk, mocha sauce and espresso beans.
Question:	Which blend do they use for their iced coffees
Answer:	I make a full pot each morning, any leftovers I pour into a glass carafe, put into the refrigerator and drink as ice coffee. Or make into “coffee cubes”. It’s the reheating that makes coffee bitter I believe. Start with the best coffee, you end up with the best ice coffee.
Question:	What is the shelf life of this coffee -- the recommended use by date -- compared to the shipping date
Answer:	Like one comment from before you can do a vacuum seal to prolong the shelf life and/or at the same time with or without vacuum seal, store them in a freezer ziploc bag in the freezer.

User questions & answers

Question:	are these beans "oily"? thanks
Answer:	hi. the beans are not oily at all. they are perfectly roasted. oily is a misconception that oily is the freshest bean, but it can be quite the opposite. depending on what type of machine you have the Lavazza beans are the best. We have a Gaggia Titanium and all other beans get stuck/clogged. hope this helps.
Question:	Would this coffee be good to use in a regular drip coffeemaker, or is an espresso maker required? Thank you
Answer:	It will make a smooth, flavorable cup of regular coffee. Just grind the beans for a drip coffee machine. The Super Crema Espresso Beans are an Italian roast (medium) rather than a dark roast that is sometimes bitter. Some mornings when time is tight, I make a pot of regular coffee and steam milk for cafe au lait.
Question:	How many servings are in this bag
Answer:	It all depend on how you use it. I use 19 grams of beans to pull a 36 gram 28 second espresso shot (I use a non-pressurized filter). 2.2 lbs = 1000 grams, thus, I get about 52 cappuccinos. I probably average about 2.5 per day, therefore, each bag lasts me about 3 weeks. With a pressurized filter, the standard is 7 grams per shot, therefore, 140 shots. Using my chemex I will use 10 grams per cup, therefore I get 100 cups. Many people use 7 grams per cup, so they will get 140 cups. Hope this helps. (btw, this comes to about 45 cents per cappuccino, with milk it comes to 60 cents each, at 2.5 per day I spend $1.50 for what would cost me $10 per day at Starbucks (the McDonald's of coffee).
Question:	What is the difference going from Super Crema to Gran Crema
Answer:	Both are medium roasts. However, the Gran Crema is 40% South America arabica and 60% Southeast Asia robusta beans, where Super Crema is 60% Southeast Asia robusta beans and and 40% South American arabica beans, so the Super Crema is going to be more delicate with brighter tones (more fruity) while the Gran Crema is going to have deeper and richer tones, more chocolate-y and nutty. For those who say that these beans are bitter, they--or their machine--may be overextracting the beans. If grinding your own, may want to try a coarser grind to make less bitter. If sour, may want to try grinding finer. Can be a little difficult to distinguish the two, so may want to do some research online for how to differentiate. Regarding the flavor of creama (not this product, but generally speaking), creama usually does not taste very good. What crema does help do is allow one to identify how well their extraction went.

User questions & answers

Question:	besides French Roast, which varieties are dark roast
Answer:	From their website: Our coffees are generally considered a ‘medium’ roast. The whole truth is that we source really high quality coffees and roast each coffee just enough to bring out the best of what’s inherent in those particular beans. Typically, our blends are more medium roast and our single origin coffees are on the lighter end of the spectrum. For those of you that love that dark, roasty flavor, we have our French Roast.
Question:	How do insure this is authentic
Answer:	I dont know what you mean by authentic. I will just tell you what i know. I heard a commercial on the radio. It stated that this was the best coffee in the world by a pole. So I bought a bag and gave it to my sister for Christmas 2 years ago. She raved and raved about it and started buying it herself cuz now no other coffee will do. Now I give it as gifts. I've given it to my fiance his mother my daughter and coworkers and everybody says that it's delicious. I hope this helps
Question:	How much time has passed after roasting to ship date
Answer:	I can only respond on behalf of MONSTERZ FACTORY. Our company picks up directly from Stumptown Roasters several times a week. They Roast small batches fresh daily. We send it directly to Amazon as fast as we can, So it is fresh & available to ship to you when you order.
Question:	Is there any way to get reasonably fresh beans here on Amazon Prime
Answer:	Hi, The reason it is difficult to get fresh beans through Amazon Prime is because the prime order system works through various distribution centers where supply sits until a purchase is made. The trade-off is that your coffee gets there within two days, but you run the risk of getting coffee that is past the recommended consume date. We do not offer Prime Shipping because we want to ensure your coffee is received within the two to three weeks of being roasted. Due to the new Biotre bags, we consider anything past three weeks unacceptable to sell. We offer standard shipping, yes it is an additional cost, but we physically ship it ourselves, which means we can ensure your coffee is fresh. Thanks, Jake's Collection

User questions & answers

Question:	Are these beans dyed to appear a darker brown? If so what is used? Thank you
Answer:	No, not dyed. The darker brown refers to the amount of time a coffee bean is heat roasted. The longer beans are roasted the darker brown the are. Dark roasts or French roast or espresso beans are the darkest. They are very flavor forward, some people feel they taste almost burnt or "too strong". Light roast beans are roasted for the shortest time and some feel don't have enough flavor. A medium roast AKA Viennese roast are a good all purpose roast. They have character and can be brewed a variety of ways, pour over, percolated, or dripped. However, you like your coffee, enjoy.
Question:	is the bean oily
Answer:	Not much. if you want the best flavor from your coffee you should order ONLY THE WHOLE BEAN and grind just before you brew. the little Krups one I've had for many years works fine for me.
Question:	Not sure how to store the beans. I have heard; freeze, refrigerate, don't refrigerate. What do the experts suggest
Answer:	We recommend an airtight canister in a cabinet or on the counter, never in the fridge or the freezer. If you Google it, you will find chemists and molecular biologists arguing about which is the best method, but we've just tested it ourselves over several years and have determined that the coffee tastes better longer if you don't refrigerate or freeze it. Because we roast to order and customers often receive the coffee while it is still developing (oil rising to the surface of the bean, the freezer will stop that process and dry the coffee out, and the refrigerator has a lot of moisture, and that is not good for coffee. Occasionally we will get a complaint about coffee quality, and after we determine it is not a problem with grind/preparation, we ask how the coffee has been stored, and often it has been in the refrigerator. We're not snobs, and if the coffee tastes great to you, that's all we care about. Our bags for personal use are sitting out on the counter or in a cabinet, rolled down at the top and secured with the tin tie, and that works just fine for us. Hope this helps!Darron "Don Pablo" Burke
Question:	Is this coffee good for French pressing
Answer:	Hi Paul, thanks for reaching out. Many people enjoy this coffee in a French Press. The key is not to pour water on the grounds while it is still boiling. Bring the water to a boil, but then let it sit for a while until it reaches around 185 - 190 degrees, then pour it in. Otherwise you will scald the coffee and rob it of its flavor. It's important to get the grind right also, and for best results, you want a grind fine enough to get some flavor from the coffee, but coarse enough so the coffee does not pass through the screen. I personally prefer the hand drip method (pour over), as it gets more flavor out of the coffee without imparting the flavor of spent grounds (at least that's how I perceive it). Hope this helps. Thanks for your interest.Darron "Don Pablo" Burke

2 LB Don Pablo Signature Blend - Whole Bean Coffee

Blended for taste, each of these coffees, Colombia, Guatemala, and Brazil, have distinct body characters making the coffee more complex in the cup than a single origin varietal. The taste is sweet and well integrated and the body medium to full. The finish is cocoa-toned and very smooth with low acidity.

The slight caramelization of the natural sugars in the bean give this Medium-Dark coffee a touch of roastiness, while it still retains its natural flavor character, giving it a sweet, pleasant aftertaste. 100% Arabica Whole Bean Coffee, GMO Free. Comes in a handy resealable bag!

*Signature Blend Specialty Coffee is available in 2 or 5 LB bags, and also Single Serve Cups!

How to brew the perfect cup of coffee:

Traditional Drip Machine: Add one level to slightly rounded measuring tablespoon (10g) of finely ground coffee (fine granular sand, not yet a powder) to each six ounce cup of water (177 ml)

Hand Drip Method: Add 8-10 grams of medium-fine ground coffee per cup. Heat water to 190-195 degrees, (88-90.5 c) pre-soak grounds, slowly add water in a clockwise motion. Adjust to taste.

French Press: Add 1-2 measuring tablespoons (10-20g) of coarse ground coffee per cup (177ml) of water and adjust to taste. Never add boiling water.

Cold Brew: Steep equal amounts of coarse ground coffee and filtered water in a covered container for 12-24 hours, strain coffee out and use cheesecloth or a paper coffee filter to remove leftover grounds. Add water to taste.

User questions & answers

Question:	best before date
Answer:	If you buy pre-ground, the best buy is before you ever bought it. With whole beans, don't grind until immediately before you use it. Don't buy more than you can use within a couple of months. First order arrived 3 weeks from roasting date and tasted great . Second order arrived 6 months from roasting date, much longer than I would have liked, however, still tastes great!
Question:	Is this dark roast oily? Can it be used in an fully-automatic machine
Answer:	They ARE oily now. I have used these beans in my super automatic machine for 3 years, UNTIL the last few batches (I have on subscription with Amazon and use only these in 1kg bag per month for 3 years). Now they are so oily they clogged my grinder in 2 bags. I can see it staining my hopper. Now looking for dryer beans.
Question:	How old were the beans you were delivered? Was it roasted more than a month ago
Answer:	4 months past the best by date. Same issued occurred when ordering Lavazza Super Crema beans from Amazon. Orginal product was outdated by 11months, its Amazon replacement was also outdated by 5 months. When ordering this Lavazza coffee beans from Amazon, expect the product to be past its best by date.
Question:	how is this compared to the Lavazza Super Crema Espresso? which is better
Answer:	It's a different blend, therefore a different taste. They are both whole beans to be grinded. Super Crema is intended for commercial use and the origin of the beans and amounts used are different from Gran Crema which is made for home use. Super Crema is 80% arabicas (a mix from Brazil, washed Indian Arabica and high quality Columbian) and 20% robustas (a mix from Indonesia and Vietnam). Gran Crema is 40% South America arabica and 60% Southeast Asia robusta. Most people find them comparable and similar, but taste is a personal thing, otherwise we'd all eat and drink the same things. One last thing, both Super Crema and Gran Crema are intended for mixing and not straight espresso. This does not mean that they are bad for espresso and are most certainly superior to the vast majority of coffee brands available for espresso, but there is certainly better choices for espresso within Lavazza.

Answer:	I have a Jura Compressa and if I set it on STRONG, it tastes like expresso.
Question:	Are the beans oily? It will jammed my grinder if they are too oily
Answer:	Even though it is a dark roast, I did not find the beans to be oily at all, like some dark roasts are. I use a Bodum Grinder and have never had any jamming issues. BTW - if you regularly grind beans, I'd look into the Bodum Bistro Grinder.

Fresh is Best

The fresher the beans, the more satisfying the cup. That’s why our coffees are packed soon after roasting with a one-way freshness valve designed to deliver a high-quality experience at its flavorful best.

Expertly Roasted

Each of our coffees is masterfully roasted in individual batches to unlock the peak of aroma and flavor. We take our time so you can savor every sip.

Our Dark Roast

This is where the toast of the roast takes center stage. Carefully roasted to yield a rich, deeply robust pour, these coffees are perfect for espresso and anyone at home in the smoky, chocolaty dark.

Central & South America

Harvested from the reowned coffee growing regions of Central and South America, our beans are expertly blended and roasted so we can achieve a perfect light, medium, or dark roast.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why aren't there any "5 Star" reviews in the past year? Reviews from over a year ago aren't helpful if the taste has changed as I saw in 1 comment
Answer:	I have been ordering this coffee for several years and still love it. I recently switched from using an AeroPress to cold brew and it is still my favorite every day blend. I have tried others and aside from their own Grizzly Claw I have not been able to find another blend that satisfies my taste buds as well. Glady give it 5 stars
Question:	How long the time I can store this coffee
Answer:	I have stored UNOPENED, SEALED 5-pound bags of several different brands of coffee — and this is the important part — in the back of the BOTTOM basket in my freezer successfully (so far!l) for almost seven — that's right SEVEN — YEARS, now. I "Sharpie" the date on each bag upon the start of what may be a long, cold "slumber" in the bowels of my "not-so-cryogenic" freezer, only to choose an "oldie but goodie" from the collection at some far future date. I have yet to be disappointed from opening and enjoying the exquisite aroma, flavor, smoothness, and even "elegance" of the contents of a 5 or 6-plus year old bag. I have done this ONLY with UNOPENED, SEALED *WHOLE BEAN* coffee. I did try some bags of unopened, sealed GROUND coffee, but couldn't get them to "survive" long term freezer storage more than about 18 months before their respective "flavor", aroma, and "smoothness" profiles started to noticeably diminish.
Question:	What is the different between Kick ass dark & Three sisters medium
Answer:	Just a different roast. I can't tell you the taste difference because we've always drink the Kick Ass because of it's low acidity.
Question:	are the beans in this coffee wet processed, and therefore free of mold
Answer:	Fair trade coffee is not guaranteed to be free of mold or mycotoxins. Bad beans can slip through and even often do. Mycotoxins are present in a large percentage of coffee beans and make it into the final drink. However, their levels are far below the safety limit. Unfortunately, fair trade beans are all over the place on the spectrum. It's nice that the market "drives" prices, but in reality, we need to get away from the system they are using currently. Kicking Horse has pretty good coffee though. For almost 10 bucks for 10oz, I'm gonna try to just support locally roasted beans.

Cafe Cubano Roast– Our Signature Blend

Cafe Cubano Roast is our signature blend. Made with premium, specialty grade coffee, we use our signature Latin style slow-roasting process to provide a distinctly bold cup, with a sweet flavor, and smooth finish. As a child in Nicaragua, Martin Mayorga spent time at cigar factories with his father interacting with Cuban cigar makers who had fled Castro's government. He recalled the men playing dominos, talking about their plight upon leaving their home country, and drinking a distinctly dark and syrupy coffee. Later on when the Mayorga family moved to the U.S., Martin was able to appreciate first hand this rich coffee while spending time with Cuban immigrants in Miami.

1:2.5 ratio | Grind Size: Espresso, Very Fine | Coffee Dose: 14g or 4 tbsp | Water Dose: 45ml or 1.5oz

Sourcing Principles

We build direct, long-term relationships with small farmers and cooperatives that focus on organic, shade-grown, high-quality, specialty coffees.

Our efficient, forward-thinking direct supply chain allows us to support our farmers via access to better financing, cost management, and crop diversification. This ensures you’re getting flavorful, smooth coffee, while paying what is fair to you. It also ensures that farmers are treated equitably and are paid fairly, rewarding them for their hard work.

Our Purpose

We don’t just source and sell artisanal organic products. We exist and operate with the purpose of eliminating systemic poverty in Latin America through the responsible trade of artisanal organic foods.

We have dedicated our lives to creating a sustainable business model that puts farmers first as we believe that healthy farming communities will produce better quality products that ultimately will benefit our valued customers.

Roasting

In a world of mass automation, we roast all of our coffees manually, batch by batch, using our senses and math to guide us in craft roasting great quality coffee.

We roast on batch roasters at our facilities in Rockville, MD and Miami, FL, both of which are FDA inspected and SQF certified. We focus on roasting using our signature Latin, slow-roasting process that provides our customers the smoothest, most flavorful coffees--always roasting fresh every day.

Our Origins

Mayorga was founded over 23 years ago by Martin Mayorga with the purpose of supporting small producers in Latin America, where he was born and raised.

The company has grown tremendously based on its model of equality, efficiency, and quality. The success of the brand has fueled the company's reach to work with high-quality, organic, specialty grade coffees representing over 3,500 small producers throughout Latin America.
