1LB 100% Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee

best coffee ever, worth the price

Well, if you decide to be fancy and buy a $40 bag of coffee beans because the internet says it’s one of the best, brace yourself for the ongoing expense of $40 bags of coffee beans😩 this coffee is absolutely perfect. It is on the milder side of flavor, but a nice medium smooth roast. It’s not acidic at all and has no horrible aftertaste. I am able to enjoy it black (no cream or sugar) because it’s that good. The only downside is 16oz of coffee beans doesn’t last very long. I bought this on February 22nd and here I am on march 6th thinking about reordering. I still have 5.3oz of coffee beans left, but I NEVER want to be without my coffee! EVER! I use between .3 and .5 oz of beans per 12 oz cup and I have two cups per day.

I see some negative reviews here from a few years back. I can't speak for that because I've been a customer for about a year now. This is definitely one of my favorite coffees. I am a conneseur of fine coffees from all around the world- Sumatra, Turkey, Ethiopia, etc. I'd say that this particular brand of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee is great! I had JBM coffee straight from the source and this comes quite close to when I was in the island. I actually like the way this particular brand roasts its coffee. Its very aromatic and tasty. It sounds as if the bad reviews came from the way it was roasted a few years back. Well, it takes time to master such things and I think that it is now roasted just right. I french press my coffee and grind the beans by hand. I only add about 2 TBS per cup, which keeps it light. But I did make full bodied cups for guests and they raved about it. All-in-all, if you keep your coffee in an appropriate canister, away from light and elements, you should have no issue with these beans. My only qualm is that It took 3 weeks to get here, but I understand the issues with supply and demand.

On a recent Cruise through Central America, I collected coffee from all of our stops. Most of the locals will point you to their best coffee brands of which they are quite proud. When I got home I did a blind taste test of them all and while they were all very good the JBM was the smoothest and tastiest coffee. I have had JBM before and remember its smoothness and delicious taste. When it came time to buy some more coffee I decided, that's it, I don't drink that much coffee anymore so I may as well drink the best and ordered some JBM off of Amazon. While this was good, it was not great and I was a little disappointed spending that much and getting what I would call an above-average cup of coffee. I will continue to seek out where I can find the best JBM. Don't get me wrong, this had some of the aroma of JBM but not a lot of the flavor and it was more bitter. So I will chalk this up to a learning expense and continue my search for the best-tasting JBM Positives: - Nice cup of coffee, - Has some of the same smells as JBM - Convenient to buy, don't have to travel to Jamaica Negatives - Not as good as the coffee that I purchased in Jamaica - Just as expensive (about $40/lb) - Not as smooth and lacking some flavor Conclusions: Again, I was a little disappointed when I brewed this as I was hoping it would be the same quality of coffee as what I purchased while in Jamaica. I will continue to seek out better quality. I have a hard time justifying $40/lb for something that is not outstanding. In my opinion, this coffee is on par with other coffees from Central America. 4 Stars

Pricey, but the flavor is terrific. I use the pour-over method with gooseneck kettle to make a cup, storing the beans in an airtight, light-blocking canister, and grinding just before drinking. The beans are slightly tougher to grind manually than some 100% Kauai beans I tried.... possibly because those were medium roast versus the light roasted blue mountain. Flavor-wise, totally worth the bit of extra effort. So good. Just too expensive to drink 7 days a week... so my search continues for a weekday bean. This one will be my indulgent weekend reward.

My favorite brand and seller for this bean for years. Great price great coffee.

I purchased this as a birthday present for my fiancé. She had never had blue mountain coffee and she and I are both connoisseurs. I've had several pounds of actual blue mountain coffee that a friend of mine used to pickup in Jamaica when she was doing her annual mission trips. She warned me that even in Jamaica you need to know who to buy from and what to buy to get the real thing. THIS IS NOT JAMAICAN BLUE MOUNTAIN COFFEE. That being said, the beans are also over roasted, and this stuff is as bitter as a cup of Maxwell House. It does not have the full body or complex taste typically associated with JBM either. The description is also ambiguous as to how it's roasted, in the brief description up top it says its a medium roast but down in the item description is says city roast. Those are two very different things and unfortunately this coffee is the latter. I thought to myself when ordering there's no way anyone would city roast JBM coffee. And rest assured they didn't as this isn't JBM coffee to begin with. Now I know why the seller has a no return policy on this stuff. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. Very dissatisfied. This ITEM IS NOT AS REPRESENTED. I'd give 0 stars if I could. Way to ruin a birthday present.

Coffee is just okay. 30 years ago if you purchased Blue Mountain coffee it was guaranteed highest quality, but this coffee had a ghost of real jBM that I smelled only once as it escaped from the bag when I opened it, and then was unable to recoup that flavor in the beans’ aroma or from brewing the ground coffee. There were slight hints of balance teetering between notes of slight acidity and underwhelming mellow, but overall was missing the full flavor, which must have gone done like a shipwreck off the coast of Jamaica, as I was hoping for a bit of gold flavor. I will keep searching for other brands of JBM coffee and may update this review when I find it. I may be paying more, but once you’ve had the real deal, and you’re yearning for the world’s best coffee, nothing short of perfection will do.
