Café Altura Organic Coffee, French Roast, Whole Bean, 32-Ounce Bags
I haven’t bought a coffee from Cafe Altura that disappointed me. This is a great French roast; I have no complaints about the coffee, but I will say some of their roasts are better than this one. Its brews great coffee; its just not their best roast.

Well the first time I used these beans in my french press, the coffee tasted great. However, as a started developing my taste for the coffee, I noticed that this particular variety has a strong smokey flavor to it. Some may not like that flavor.
Also, I found that the beans did not exhibit much “bloom” when I was brewing it in the press. I think that has very much to do with the age of the beans.

I like good strong coffee and it’s a good price for organic coffee, especially with free shipping.

The coffee works very well with my french press coffee pot. I make it very strong, yet the coffee is neither sour nor bitter.
