i was also slightly disappointed in the french roast, as it was the one i thought i would enjoy the most. so maybe it wasn't just you. i really like the 8 oclock beans, cheap too!!! this one here is my fav of theirs...

i kinda liked the Castillo Washed and the other one you didn't like the natural anaerobic. that was one of the last ones i had before i ran out.
i should have ordered it sooner, i forgot how long it takes with that shipping partner they use. it's been less than an hour away for days now.. grr! haha

I noticed the French roasts were $1 for the 2 oz package so I ordered half a dozen and I'm glad I tried them again, not my favorite but there's nothing wrong with it, and I think it will make a good iced coffee and frozen coffee drink so I just ordered 10 more at the same $1 price and I got a couple bags of other 18oz varieties on sale too (I wait for the sales😁)

thats too funny man, i almost did the same thing. since you said the sales run and stock changes i started watching the sales and i ended up ordering 18oz of the french roast for $18.75 w/shipping, comes out to $0.69 for a 20oz. coffee.. thats cheap enough for me, and i like it. like ya say maybe not an all time fav but still a good quality cup of joe!!!

when i get the free shipping they send it through three shipping companies and takes over two weeks and arrives usps at my mailbox a half mile away from my house, when i pay the $3.75 they want for shipping i get it next day fedex right to my front door.

i also bought some of the tea they offer through the sister company.. also of the highest quality and some of the best tea i've had. i now have enough loyalty points to get free shipping next time.

as for the french roast i just add a little extra creamer to it and i'm more than happy!! the french roast was one of the ones i kinda enjoyed better as it was cooling down, brings out the chocolate notes a little more.

they sent my 18oz in three 6oz bags, i like that.. keeps em fresher!! i kinda wish it was a little bigger bag, i get 27 cups from it, just under a full month.

Beachwalker, when i got my second set of samples two of them were different this time. there was no french roast and no espresso roast, instead i was sent these two that i didn't have the first time...

Meant to ask how you liked the decaf?

I just ordered a small sample of it with my last order

not really a decaf drinker but I'm going to give it a try anyway

it was just as good as all the others, i couldn't even tell it was decaf... i still have one cup left of it yet. and one cup of each of the honeys and then i'm out of samples again.

Got my little sample of Swiss water decaf today, don't think I've ever had a cup of decaf in my life 🤔 I always have a cappuccino around 2:00 in the morning, can't wait to try it later tonight!

Sometimes I get three 6-oz bags and sometimes they'll even send me 9 little two ounce bags! I don't mind the smaller bags because like you say it keeps it fresher ☕🐸

Coffee at 2 a.m.? When do you sleep? Even decaf keeps me up. I guess I have a caffeine sensitivity because when I drink a regular cup of joe the first hour I'm like a rabbit. Don't get me started on espresso!

i found that if i do a little bit coarser grind on the french roast i like it more. a little less strong and a little more flavor. i've been drinking it this way most of the week and today i decided to have my last cup of yellow honey, and ya know what man, i didn't think it was any better at all. and that yellow honey was the top of my list of the dozen i tried at first.

having a second cup today right now!!!!

Interestingly that's two of the three coffees that I have here, the French roast and the Yellow Honey

I also have the Monobo whatever it is, which I think is about my favorite

Just my impression but I think why I didn't like the French Roast at first is cuz most French roasts I've had have a bit of a burnt taste, and this didn't 🤷🏻

There's no bad coffee from this company, I even got a sample of the Swiss decaf that you mentioned, I've only had one in the middle of the night and I don't remember it, but I'm going to try it again - I don't think it was too bad
