AmazonFresh Reviews

My friends gifted me AmazonFresh Colombia Medium Roast as a pseudo-joke, as they were heading out of town for a month and also dropping off 2 gallons of milk they'd forgotten to cancel. The value brand Amazon coffee, pre-ground and open for about two weeks, still offered a surprisingly solid experience. I try to be fair to big brands and just taste things as they come. They are rarely amazing but usually not terrible. This one's solid. It's a not bad interpretation of the old skool Colombia Supremo profile, with a lively acidity and a notable chocolate-orange note. Think Juan Valdez, ha ha! The rich and deep chocolate aspect adds a satisfying dimension to the cup, while the citrusy undertone complements it nicely. The acidity is well-structured, clean, and crisp, enhancing the overall brightness without overwhelming the palate. Despite not being at its freshest, this coffee provides a well-rounded and enjoyable experience, making it a solid choice for those who enjoy a bright and flavorful medium roast. I don't think I'd seek this out, but I wouldn't complain about it if I got it at a muffin shop. Given it's pretty inexpensive, I'll score it a 4 here (I usually give decent hotel coffee a 3.5).
