Eight O'Clock Coffee The Original Ground Coffee, Medium Roast, 21 Ounce (Pack of 1) - Sweet, Fruity, Well Balanced

Where do I begin. The price of it is absolutely phenomenal at five dollars a pound you can’t beat that deal. When I get coffee at five dollars a pound it’s usually oily crappy dark roast coffee that isn’t good. This coffee is a medium roast or dark roast. It’s a six out of 10 on the roast scale. When you look at the coffee it’s really clean with no young beans Earl beans all the beans are standardized. When you have different colored beans this means the coffee is cheap. This isn’t cheap coffee. Being from the state of New Jersey I’m proud to say this was roasted in my home state and they do a damn good job. This coffee is found in many bagel shops around New Jersey and New York. And Where do I begin. The price of it is absolutely phenomenal at five dollars a pound you can’t beat that deal.

This coffee is found in many bagel shops around New Jersey and New York. And I am proud to drink it. I have tried at least 20 coffees on my SAECO Xsmall espresso machine. This machine is supersensitive and if the beans are too oily or dunk rain well even after adjusting the grind. The machine clogs up and then you have to take the whole machine apart. It’s one of the best espresso machines I’ve owned but it’s very selective on the kind of beans you want to use. I’ve tried 20 different brands going from coffee at $40 a pound to my local Winco store that sells five dollar pound of coffee bags which are oily and cheap. Out of all 20 coffees. Only two worked. PYK coffee and EIGNT O’CLOCK. Everything else clogs up the machine either it’s too oily or artificial flavors are added or the coffee is just cheap coffee and sold at a high price. I even used very overpriced $40 a pound Starbucks coffee from Rwanda and it clogged up the entire machine and the espresso tasted like garbage. I even tried a Starbucks blonde roast which is supposed to be a little dryer and it still clogged up the machine. Any Starbucks coffees that I used with clog up the machine and break it and I’ll have to replace parts. But this coffee 8 o’clock. Does the job. It doesn’t clog up the machine. It cooks really well.

When the coffee PUCKS come out. They all together and they are in one piece where I can lift them up and feel them. Because of this you can tell the coffee is good. When are you Starbucks coffee or any other brand of the 18 brands I’ve tried The coffee would either break apart in the internal machines mechanism or it would break apart when dumped in the drop drawer. Which tells me the coffee is oily and low quality and it was roasted too high of a temperature and not slow roasted. Which this means the coffee was roasted at a high temperature and all the oil’s were pulled out when roasted meaning you don’t get a lot of caffeine and you get a crappy burnt cup of coffee like Starbucks. Even though this coffee is cheap don’t judge the price. The price is well priced for what you’re getting good quality cup of Joe nothing too crazy. And the people that say taste like mud those are the people that want to drink hazelnut latte is filled with a bunch of sugar and garbage artificial flavors. To describe it it’s a good cup of New Jersey coffee that you would have the bagel and cream cheese and it works amazing my espresso machine I’ve been on the hunt for a good coffee for the last three years and this is the one that really makes the deal. My espresso machine has pull 200 shots of this coffee and not once has a clogged up and not once have I had to replace a single part because of this espresso machines ability to use this great coffee.

We keep this on auto delivery and enjoy the brew. However, delivery! The delivery was made by USPS Select and a stated near the front door. It was not on the porch but left in pouring rain. The box is so soggy we can’t even open it up. Amazon drivers deliveries are always great, items placed thoughtfully and photo proof. I cannot say the same for the USPS Select.

It makes me happy to have my coffee throughout the day and not run out! Pretty good for decaf, eight o clock original caffeinated is my fav! I'm just old and had to cut back.

My preferred espresso beans have gotten too expensive. These beans work well in my automatic espresso machine and are not too oily. While the espresso itself tastes fine, it lacks any notable features. For daily use, however, it is more than acceptable.

Plenty strong had a good flavor to it and I had no problems with that compared to Starbucks or anybody I go to that right now and I'm happy about that

A friend of mine told me they put fillers in ground coffee. It made sense to me, since they put fillers in practically everything else these days. You don't know what you're buying anymore. A little research, and I saw that she was right. Besides knowing what's in it, you can't get coffee any fresher than ground right before you use it. And it's cheaper in the long run. So I went back to the old school, and started grinding my own. This coffee has been around since my childhood, and there's a reason for that. It's excellent.

Highly recommend. Medium Roast, perfect balance of not being too bitter nor too weak. I really like the taste.

We love strong coffee this is it.... dark Italian espresso... better price than the store thanks amazon... we buy the whole bean and grind our self well we use a coffee grinder aroma is wonderful wish the bag was better the wire thing almost always comes off but the coffee dosent go stale either

Best coffee in the world

This coffee is becoming harder and harder to find, especially at a reasonable cost. Hopefully we will be able to find it again.

Es uno de los que más me ha gustado pero lo sentí un poco caro para el café de diario, si lo volvería a comprar sin duda para ocasiones especiales

El producto muy bueno el precio no tanto

Es un producto que me encanta su sabor, excelente café.
