I received this as a gift. I love dark roasted strong bodied coffee. That’s the only kind of coffee I drink. My first cup was brewed in a small french press. The aroma was succulent. It didn’t have the acidic aroma some compare to cat urine (my wife, a non-coffee drinker). The smell was potent, in a good way. It filled the whole downstairs with the small 2 cup press.
The taste was something delightful. Very bold in flavor with zero acidic flavor that I have grown accustom to with other dark roasts. There is a great nutty or woody background flavor with this coffee. Add a touch of cream to really bring out the nutty overtones. I have always been a Colmbian fanatic until I tried Café Altura’s Peruvian Dark. Though this is beyond my regular budget. I will get it occasionally for a treat.

A very good flavor and no bitterness at all. This is the first organic grown coffee I have tried. I usually buy Starbucks Sumatran or expresso beans, but thought I would try something new. I was not disappointed! I have bought the Sumatran version of this organic coffee and was even more pleased with it. Nice earthy flavor without bitterness.

When I first opened the bag it was almost too rich/dark… After a few days it mellowed out slightly and is one of the best beans I’ve used with my Brevelle Espresso machine.

This coffee is one of my favorites especially when the bag is freshly opened; however, it takes a while to go through two pounds of coffee. It looses some of the flavor over time, but regardless it remains pretty darn good. I just wish I could find a way to keep it really fresh. I have tried freezing it in an airtight zip-lock bag, refrigerating in an airtight zip-lock bag, and storing at room temp in an ceramic airtight jar. Regardless, this coffee is a amazing (especially when brewed with a french press), and I highly recommend it.

This coffee is fantastic. Great, bold flavor with very oily beans. This is the first Altura coffee I have tried, but I will definitely be going back and trying the different types of beans they offer. Can’t go wrong with the Peruvian dark.
