Great Coffee. I use for espresso. Very distinctive flavor 5 stars

I love Verve coffee. It has a little sweet taste and very smooth. My husband has been drinking this coffee for a few years; among all of the coffee beans he has tasted, he loves this brand the most.

I've bought both the 1950 and the Sermon. This particular review is attached to the 1950, which is the most recent I've bought, but I will also talk about Sermon. Both of these make for an excellent espresso, which I'm making in a Breville Infuser machine, and my preferred format is a 10 oz latte with a double shot (2 oz, or 38g of output). The espresso shots are smooth and each has the characteristics that you'd expect as the tasting notes described by the roaster are pretty spot on.Usually I'll use a different bean for my pourovers because often a particular blend that makes an espresso to my liking isn't quite what I like when making a pourover. In this case, the 1950 actually makes both to my liking. The Sermon in my opinion was also good for both as well, but the 1950 was the one I preferred for pourover, though for espresso shots I'd have ranked both about equally, just depending on my mood for the day.These beans are packaged well, in the kind of bag that is characteristic of most good roasters these days, vacuum sealed in a high quality lined bag and a good ziploc-type resealable top. This one is better than some in that the opening is via a nice easy pull strip so that you're not having to cut across the top.Best of all, for such a quality roast, the price on this is very attractive for this quality.I have only tried these two blends, but I do think I'll try a few others.

This is a wonderful decaf. When intelligentsia discontinued the decaf el mago I desperately needed another Swiss water decaf coffee that wasn't acidic or bitter ,and had no odd kaftertaste like lime or pineapple. This is the first coffee I've found that hits all 3 requirements. It smells and tastes faintly of honey ,which is delicious, and luckily for me it is not too acidic . I can drink it pure or mix it with my milder low acid beans for a decent cup of coffee.

We get Verve Coffee all the time ordered directly from Verve. It’s very freshly roasted just before it’s sent. Thought we would save some money through an Amazon subscription. Coffee arrived with a roast date from 2 months ago and really tasted terrible. I question if it was even verve coffe or other beans thrown in a Verve bag. Never again - we will stick with getting it direct.

Being from the PNW, I wanted to like these beans, but they blend and roasting is just not good enough for use in an espresso machine. It works fine for a drip or 2 minute steep in an Aeropress, but is just bitter and oily as an espresso drink. Even a cortado comes out bitter. Add in the cost and that the oily beans get stuck in the hopper and it just isn't a good value and I won't be buying them again.

good flavor but slightly expensive

The love the Verve. I get the whole beans because coffee taste pressure and the packaging is really pretty to have out on display on your kitchen counter.
