San Francisco Bay Coffee Fog Chaser Whole Bean Coffee, 2 lb bag

I can be pretty picky about my coffee. I need a dark roast that's gentle on my stomach (I have Crohn's, so low acidity is a must), but I also refuse to give up great flavor and aroma. My morning coffee is something I genuinely look forward to. I bought this because it was highly rated and had excellent reviews. Of course, everyone's tastes are different, so I wasn't sure if it would live up to the hype. After using it for a week, I can honestly say it does. The flavor is rich and smooth, the aroma is wonderful, and it's been easy on my stomach. As for value, it may seem a little more expensive at first, but you're getting a 2-pound bag instead of just 1 pound. I've also found I only need about three-quarters as much coffee to brew a rich, flavorful cup compared to other brands. That means the bag lasts longer, making it an even better value than the price initially suggests. For me, it's absolutely worth the money.

Bold and dark without the bitterness. I switched from SF Bay’s French Roast after the smoky notes became overwhelming, and Fog Chaser is exactly what I wanted — smooth, strong, and clean. It brews beautifully in my Zojirushi. I like it so much I’m even using it to make coffeemel (coffee mead).

This Fog Chaser is better than most consumer ground coffee - but, IMO, not a whole lot better. The freshly opened package smelled good, but it lacked a little bit of the magic of darker roasts. I brewed my first pot, and I get the same from the flavor. Good, but lacking the magic of my favorite darker roasts. This Fog Chaser has an aftertaste that lingers for seconds, which reminds me of my favorite coffees, but it's just "not there". That aftertaste has a remarkable similarity to the coffee we would get aboard ship, while I was in the Navy. Not quite, maybe, but similar. On the plus side - zero bitterness, no acid, no objectionable smells or flavor, smooth and mellow, it is NOT a bad coffee. On the negative side, it simply lacks some of the aromatics that I've come to expect from my dark roast coffees. It's simply lacking the magic that I'm looking for. Good coffee, but I probably won't reorder.

Love these beans! Recommend to everyone we know! Simple & not oily so they don’t clog up your machine!

I have been buying this coffee now for 2 years. One to Two, two lb bags a month. It is perfectly delicious. I love the darkness and the oily aroma. When I first open the bag, I stick my nose in it and just inhale the richness. Regular Cuisinart drip in the morning and French press several afternoons in the week. It is so good that I have to pace myself!! I searched a long time trying to find just the right one for us. Thanks SBC…don’t change a thing😊

I drink 6-10 cups a day. For an inexpensive whole bean coffee. this product is full flvored and never bittner even when reheated. I use the pour over brewing method.

The coffee is great but not for the price they have. I can buy at the grocery store for $10 cheaper.

One of my favorite brands, beans come fresh, moist and smelling amazing! The coffee is full of flavor! Put these on repeat!

Magnífico café. Tostado oscuro, con cuerpo y personalidad. El aroma es irreal, delicioso. Es un café para conocedores, no como las blandeces de tostado débil que toman los millenials ahora. Este café tiene toques de chocolate y cereza. No es ácido. Recién molido es de verdad, increíble. Lo preparo en AeroPress, prensa francesa, V90 y mocca. En cada caso es maravilloso. Si lo vas a echar a perder poniéndole leche y dulce, mejor toma Dolca. JAJAJA Altamente recomendado.

Did not quite like it. It tastes light.

I like dark and bitter, this is close to my favorite French roast. However my other half says it tastes burnt. So different taste bud different perception. Will check out this brand's other flavors but keep this one in my future purchase list.

no me gusto para nada muy acido, no lo compraria de nuevo

Slightly burnt taste, but not bad value for money. Just wish it had a fresher aroma than what I perceive as something similar to Starnuckd pikes peak. It tastes and smells better when mixed 50% w Lavazza red bag in the grinder.
