## Description

Product Description This San Francisco Bay French Roast Coffee is a specially selected blend of fine Arabica coffee beans from Central America. The beans are French roasted past the 'pop and sizzle' until the beans are very dark brown and oily. Also known as the 'West Coast Roast', this French Roast is a full bodied, intense but smooth coffee with a smoky flavour. Founded over 25 years ago by John and Barbara Rogers, today the whole family work to maintain the highest standards in the industry. San Francisco Bay uses only truly exceptional, hand selected, 100 percent Arabica beans in their Premium Gourmet Blend Coffee. Roasted slowly to their highest flavour point, the beans are then quickly packed warm from the roaster for optimum freshness. The special one way valve on the front of the bag lets fresh roasted gasses out without allowing air back in. This keeps the coffee fresh right to your kitchen.

Review: Whole Bean Coffee – Rich Flavor and Great Value - I recently ordered the [Brand Name] whole bean coffee from desertcart, looking for a fresh and flavorful option to upgrade my morning brew. The package arrived quickly and was well-sealed, preserving the aroma and freshness of the beans. Aroma: As soon as I opened the bag, I was hit with a wonderful, rich scent—notes of dark chocolate and a hint of caramel. It smelled fresh and inviting, exactly what you’d hope for in a premium coffee. Grinding & Brewing: I used a manual grinder and tested the beans in both a French press and an espresso machine. The grind was smooth, and the beans responded well in both methods. I got a full-bodied cup every time, with consistent extraction and very little bitterness. Taste: The flavor is robust yet balanced. There’s a natural sweetness with subtle nutty and chocolatey undertones. The acidity is mild, and the finish is smooth. It’s the kind of coffee you can enjoy black, but it also pairs well with milk for a creamy latte or cappuccino. Pros: Fresh, aromatic beans Versatile for different brewing methods Smooth and flavorful profile Good value for the price Cons: My only minor issue was with bean consistency. A few beans were smaller or slightly chipped, which can affect grind uniformity. It didn’t have a major impact on the taste, but it's worth noting for more meticulous coffee enthusiasts. Conclusion: Overall, this is a great everyday coffee for anyone who enjoys a deep, satisfying cup with rich flavor. It may not be a high-end specialty roast, but it easily competes with more expensive brands in terms of taste and aroma. I’ll definitely be ordering it again.
Review: good for the price, but there are better decaff beans - Firstly, this is phenomenal value for a decaff bean. Makes a tasty coffee, slightly nutty, somewhere between a medium and dark roast. Secondly, ignore any rumours of "oily beans" in other reviews, they just were no worse than any other bean, and those reviews almost put me off buying. Ignore them, these are no more oily than Illy or Lavazza. Thirdly, I must bring the tone down a tad and say they are not on the same level as Lavazza or Illy beans. My favourite will remain Illy (Best of the bunch, but the price is ridiculous), followed by Lavazza (lovely crema and deep rich taste), and then followed very closely by these San Fransisco Bay beans. (slightly lighter/less complex taste than the other two, and much less crema) I'd recommend them if your coffee taste is for a medium roast, but if you like a deeper taste, maybe not quite so much. I can say that they are close to Lavazza, and easily the best of the rest for a decaff bean. Worth trying, I may give them another shot in due course, but I have gone back to Lavazza for now. Tested using DeLonghi Magnifica ESAM 4200S bean to cup coffee machine. Set coffee maker to max amount of coffee, finest grind of bean, and about 1/3 max water volume, then top up with fresh boiled water for an americano.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it made in small batches**
A: As a user of this coffee I would say yes as the consistency in the roasting, the color taste and smell etc could not be kept so consistent in larger batches, i highly recommend this coffe since i started to use it my coffee bill has dropped as coffee shop coffee doesn't cut it anymore.

**Q: Is this coffee organic**
A: The packaging does not show it organic, so unlikely.

**Q: Are these in a transparent package? As your supposed to avoid light getting to your beans because they go off quicker.**
A: Yes the packaging is see-through in some sections. I reseal the bag and put it into a cupboard. I typically go through a couple of bags a month so they never sit for long.

**Q: Can you use this in a cafetier?**
A: Yes, just do a larger grind than you would for drip coffee.
