I've tried quite a few of Volcanica's coffees, including some of their more exotic varietals, such as the Kona Peaberry. Side Quest: Let me tell you something about the Kona. If you're sitting there dropping nickels into a bucket to save up for a pound of the stuff, don't do it. The Kona is wonderful. It's everything you ever wanted a cup of coffee to be. BUT that's all it is. It's a perfectly-balanced lovely smooth coffee. ProTip: That's great and all, but you can get that in other forms for a fraction of the price. The Kona is not worth its sticker price. A coffee that expensive should really jump out and "wow!" you with richness and complexity. The Kona, while lovely, doiesn't do that. It tastes just like the coffee you're drinking now just with whatever bit you don't like about it removed. The best way to describe the Kona is "unobjectionable". It's not terribly memorable, but there's not a thing wrong with it either. So now you've got the scoop on that, get yuo a scoop of this instead. I'm not kidding, put the Kona out of your mind, grab a pound of this, and consider your life complete, It's a great coffee with a very bold richness and layered flavor that you imagine that you'll get with the Kona, but won't. Sometimes a wonderful coffee can be had without breaking the bank. Remember, the most expensive coffee is just the rarest or most in demand, that doesn't mean it's the best. Stay caffeinated, folks! (Hey, we're middle aged. We're too old to do street drugs and too young to be hooked on prescriptions, so this is all we've got!)

Excellent coffee. Low acid, if any. Flavorful.

This is a nicely roasted Sumatra with a great taste. BUT it seems to NEVER be within "FRESH" range when I receive it. This is based on the stated roasting date on the bag (which is hard to read) and the visible (flatter) bloom on my Technivorm Moccmaster. I have been a subsciber of this coffeee for some time now but am starting to look elsewhere for a roaster nearer to me that will ship me coffee that is still FRESH as a subscriber.

Smooth and rich bodied dark roast that doesn’t leave a bitter aftertaste, finally found it!
