This coffee satisfies my search for a fine South American brew. I really like the high notes in this bean, which is precisely what I miss when I spend too much time on, say, a Sulawesi (which I like for other reasons, however!). It to me awhile to find the bean that satisfied my taste, and I warmly recommend it to you if you share my pleasure in Central and South American beans.

So I've tried a lot of different green coffee beans, and it was more of a realization my husband and I came to that this is our favorite; we'd always look forward to the Colombia bag. Now this is our go-to coffee, always have it on hand. Been roasting in an SR-800 until about 10-15 seconds into second crack. Has amazing complexity, but not too much of any one flavor. It can be as bold as you want, and it's not acidic. I'll admit that there are definitely some beans that are broken and janky, and it takes a bit of extra time to go through and pick them out, but don't let this deter you. This is a very good bean in my opinion (just got an Aillio Bullet {woohooo} so we will see if anything changes with the different roasting method).

When I first opened the bag of this Organic Colombian I was a little afraid of the quality because many beans were damaged and not consistently sized. However, after roasting this to just the start of 2nd crack, the flavor is incredible. This bean has a natural sweetness to it that I haven’t really experienced elsewhere. A very nice body and smoothness to it as well. Just slight enough acidity to give it some life. I’ll buy this one again!

This is a very good coffee. Not my favorite, that would be Costa Rican La Magnolia, but very good. What makes this so good is the way it roasts. If you're new to roasting grab a bag of these beans. They have a very recognizable first and second crack with a nice pause in between. I'm using a Behmor 1600 and my initial program is: 1#, P1, D, ++, start. I roast to about 15 seconds into second crack. Give it a try and enjoy.

Dark roasted. I think there's a lot going on here, complex? Nothing that would make me not like it. The description is accurate, lots of nuance, nothing overbearing, nutty, fruity, flowery? maybe, but subtle. Personally If anything I think it's a bit sweet.

I don't know all the fancy terms for coffee, but after six decades or so of coffee drinking I do know what I like. And I like this coffee. I primarily do cold brew these days and brew if in batches. I've done this bean in both medium and dark roastsand both make a very tasty cup of coffee. You can definitely taste the difference between the two. Medium gives me a more fruity taste and dark more of a chocolaty taste. These days I stick to organically grown coffee and prefer to buy beans from the small cooperatives.

I ordered this coffee about a month ago, roasted it a few times. I cannot find any redeeming qualities of taste or flavor - it's just boring and bitter no matter how light/dark I roast it.

This is a very smooth coffee. I especially enjoy the high notes it offers to blends. I really like blending Columbia with Sumatra, which for me produces a very rich cup of coffee.

I roasted tis to a light medium roast and it very wonderful coffee. Made a cup for my neighbor who usually takes cream and sugar. She said she could drink this straight. I use it in an Aero Press.

These are great beans for a novice roaster. They roast fairly uniformly with great depth and character. The brew tastes wonderful.

Brewed a pound of this last night to a light roast and split the beans in half and flavored 1/2 as Cherry Chocolate Truffle and 1/2 as Butter Rum. The cherry was amazing and can't wait to sample the butter rum next. I will likely share the Cherry with the family for a great christmas surprise.

Colombia Organic Sierra Nevada FTO has become a mainstay of our regular orders. It is rich and very smooth. We are not fans of the sweeter coffees. We like them dark and bold. Each of our orders, we get 5 lb of these beans, and try out some others. We have tried a number of different levels of roast with this one, and have found these beans to be fairly forgiving. We roast in a cast iron wok that came with my grill over a propane burner I use for brewing beer. Which reminds me, I have used these beans in a porter that came out excellent, too!

We've been roasting our own coffee for almost 5 years. We eat mostly organic food and grow much of what we eat so we thought " why don't we gat organic coffee?" Our search lead us to Coffee Bean Coral and this is our second order.
We roast to Full City as we enjoy strong flavor and this product fits right in .
We"ll be back in a few months to get some more.

Despite the rave reviews I see here, not at all like other South American/Central American coffees. Similar to East African coffees, with a more earthy, winey, flavor which I do not find appealing. Perhaps CBC calls this flavor "nutty" in the descriptions. Just beware of this. I always equate this flavor with coffee that has gone stale or has oxidized. Everyone has their like and dislikes. Maybe this batch is atypical?

A solid Colombian bean for everyday drinking. Taken to a full city+ or Vienna roast made for pleasant drinking black, with balanced acidity and a mild chocolate aroma. I'd recommend this as an excellent modestly priced bean to bulk up on for home roasting.

Great coffee bean, roast well: I do it just pass the first crack for me and my husband likes it just pass the second crack, nice brightness.

I have tried about a dozen different varieties of beans so far. This one is my favorite. Very distinctive flavor profile. It is very complex, with a lot of different flavors going on in the cup. Somewhat fruity I would describe it. It has a strong and pleasant aftertaste. Keep it lighter than dark roast, it loses complexity at darker roasts. City plus to full city for me. Any time I think of this this bean I want to drink some. Absolutely delicious!

Whenever and wherever possible, I try to stick with organic coffees or those that are labeled RFI (Rain Forest Initiative), and FTO (Free Trade Organization). I just believe these are better tasting and better for you from a healthy perspective and better for the workers and sellers to the buyers. Colombian coffees have long been a favorite coffee among many people and especially as a breakfast coffee. I roasted a pound of this yesterday 7/6/20 (on our anniversary), and the aroma was wonderful. I'm impatient and even though one should wait anywhere from 24-48 hrs. to grind and brew, and this does make a difference. I just cannot wait that long. :) Ground and brewed a pot yesterday afternoon and another this morning. Honestly, I could not tell the difference. This is a GREAT morning coffee! Smooth and delicious and what one expects from Colombian coffee. Have not had this in a bit. Glad I ordered it! It is many people's favorite coffee of all and perhaps the most recognised? It is a good thing to have a variety of coffees and when you return to your favorite, your taste buds wake up and scream with delight, THANK YOU!!! :)

I am just beginning to learn how to roast coffee. I'm using a Poplite Hot Air Popcorn Popper. I chose this variety because I have always enjoyed Columbian coffee and it's organic. So far the flavor has been consistent. I count on that as I experiment with time and temperature and how they affect the flavor. I haven't roasted a batch that I didn't like.

I just started home roasting. So far I enjoy the flavor of this bean. It has an inviting aroma and a little bit of texture too.
