Magnum ExoticsCoffee, Blue Mountain Ground Coffee Blend - Light-Medium Roast, Made from 100% Arabica Beans, Rich & Smooth Flavor, Fresh Roast - 1 Lb Bag (Pack of 2)

Okay, so I actually got this for my mom since I don’t drink coffee. But I know this blue mountain coffee is popular for being great tasting. She drinks a lot of different coffees and I’ve purchased different brands before for her. She really loves the taste of this one.

Some of the best tasting coffee out there.

Quite close to the flavor of real Jamacan

Brings back fond memories of Jamaica’s great coffee

Exelent coffee

You probably know about Jamaican Blue Mountain but avoid it because of the price - give this budget grind a go. It's grown on an land near the pricey one, so it has the same properties. It's all about the altitude it's grown at.

After reading reviews I was pretty excited to try this. Very disappointed! Maybe because it's pre-ground. As anyone, when I opened the bag and smelled it I could tell it would be mediocre at best. Honestly smells and taste like any big brand a low to mid grade coffee. Will not buy again:(

Let me just say that I've never had Blue Mountain Coffee before, so I can't compare it to a full 100% blend. I'm also not a coffee connoisseur (don't roast/grind my own beans...yet), but I do like a nice light-medium roast with smooth flavor and low acidity/bitterness. From what I've heard and read, Blue Mountain coffee beans are the gold standard when it comes to that which is why I was very disappointed in this coffee. Maybe I'd built it up too much after reading all of the positive reviews, but I found it to be quite average with a moderate amount of lingering bitterness and acidity afterwards. To be honest, I would prefer Starbucks Veranda or Breakfast Blend as opposed to this. Both have a similar bitterness and slightly more acidity (yes, I know everyone complains about Starbucks being over-roasted), but at least they have more flavor to show for it.FWIW, one of my friends (who recommended that I try Blue Mountain coffee) had the 100% stuff when he was over in Jamaica and he said that it was the best coffee he's ever had. When I told him I'd purchased this, he was very curious and excited to see how it compared (knowing that it was a blend). Having no idea of my opinion, he stated that the taste had very little similarity to the real thing and was significantly less smooth.So bottom line, at $10/pound, it's not overly expensive, but it's also nothing special. You can get as good or better for a similar price in a non-"Blue Mountain" blend.
