Coffee Bean DirectPenny Pincher's® Dark Roast Blend, Ground Coffee, Dark Roast, 5 Pound Bag (Pack of 1)

When I saw the name Penny Pincher I hesitated. I want superior tasting coffee so I wondered if the savings would reflect in the taste. I was blown away. It’s evident that Coffee Direct knows how to create a rich tasting blend at an excellent price without sacrificing flavor. It’s a middle of the road not too sharp and not too mild tasting coffee and the aroma is incredible. It’s become a favorite of mine. I buy the whole bean which makes it even fresher tasting. If you know coffee and don’t always want it to taste like dessert, Penny pincher is great on its own or just as a base for a designer beverage. I can make my own version of Starbucks without the burnt bean taste and for pennys on the dollar. Actually, it tastes so good it doesn’t need a ton of syrups. Just grind it, brew it and drink it.

Love the whole beans and grind them as we need them. Delicious, fresh, smooth with great color and even size.

Cheap and good . 4 star for price ....everything else kinda average

Update: Cs reached out and refunded me for the mishap. Excellent communication. Mistakes happen, I will repurchase the coffee.Original review:Coffee (light roast) is very good. Beans are dry and flavourful. The last bag I purchased had a metal button in it.

Wow! I was not expecting much from this, but this is awesome! I was skeptical for a few reasons. First, it's a blend, and usually blends are a way for brewers to get rid of their old beans and mark them up like they're a premium product. Second, this is the most economical whole bean that I've ever seen anywhere. On a per pound basis, it's really only half of what you can get anywhere else. Third, I'd never heard of Coffee Bean Direct before. Well, this blew away my expectations. It's one of the tastier coffees that I've ever tasted. Granted, it's not the best coffee ever, but in the class of economy coffees, this one blows away all the other coffees in its class.These beans last for a long time, too. I repack mine into smaller Ziploc's, because five pounds is a lot of beans. We usually take about three months to drink 5 lbs of coffee, so this is the perfect size for us. Oh, the other reason to get this is if you get 1 lb bags at the store, a lot of times, they're only 10 or 12 ounces. So, if you're trying to get a good deal on coffee, then you should definitely try this, because it's a full 5 lbs.I also picked this because it's a medium roast. I started roasting my own beans a couple years ago, and I learned that unlike rum, the lighter the roast is generally better. The other thing that really surprised me was that beans taste way better about a month after they're roasted. Grinding is a different deal, though. In my opinion, the best coffee comes from freshly ground beans that were roasted 1-3 months ago. And, my shipment of beans were roasted about 1 month before I got them. There's quick turnaround on these, since they're such a hot item right now, so you can probably expect your beans to be just as fresh as mine were.Overall, you really should get this, especially if you're someone who values the best mix of quality and quantity.

The coffee was very bitter. I enjoy many different coffees but this one was one of the worst I have tried. I called the company to inquire about it but I was never contacted after leaving a message. I would not recommend Coffee Bean Direct Decaf Penny Pincher's Dark Roast Blend.

I drink WAY too much coffee! These beans are fresh, and tasty, and I do not miss the caffeine. Not to mention the good price is fair! The last time I purchased decaf coffee beans in a store, they were stale. Why do coffee sellers not want us to have decaf BEANS? I definitely recommend this coffee, and I'll be a steady customer.

Worth the money, love the taste. We ordered again!
