Whole Bean Coffee, Medium Roast, Costa Rican Blend, 2 lb | 2 Pound Bag, Vegan, Allergen Free, Non-GMO, Kosher, Vegetarian, Small Batch Roasted

I’m a big fan of Costa Rican coffees and generally prefer lighter roasts with a bright, clean profile. This Copper Moon Costa Rican Blend has been a solid everyday option, especially for brewing with a French press, which is my go to for brewing my coffee at home. Grinding the beans fresh works well with this blend. The aroma is pleasant and the flavor punches through as you would expect when using a French press. It has the low acidity and smooth character that Costa Rican coffees are known for that make it well balanced and easy to drink. For a medium roast, it still retains some of the brightness I enjoy from lighter roasts, while staying smooth and not overly bitter. It’s not an ultra-specialty single-origin experience for us coffee snobs, but it’s consistent, approachable, and very good as a daily coffee when you’re grinding whole beans at home. If you enjoy Costa Rican coffee and brew with a French press, this is a reliable medium roast that delivers a smooth, balanced cup without being too heavy, and buying it in the 2lb bag is great value for the money when you can get it on coupon at Amazon.

I have to say I ordered these beans with trepidation. So I was pleasantly surprised when I open the box from Amazon and I could smell this delicious coffee smell. I could not wait to open the bag and by the way it is just as pictured on Amazon. I ground the beans in my kitchen aid coffee grinder this morning and I am in love with these Beans, just what I wanted ,the taste is wonderful and I could not be happier. I will order these again in a minute don’t be afraid to buy these beans they are really good.

This is good, rich coffee, on the darker side. Not the signature light roast profile that made Costa Rican coffee's great reputation

I drank this daily for a couple of months, and cups ranged from very good to epic. I eventually got tired of it, though, somehow, and bought some expensive locally roasted beans. They may have been superior, but I didn't get great results. Then I tried another brand. Similar outcomes only. Sometimes pretty good, often just OK. So I went back to this one and just brewed my first cup in a while. Epic! I'm sure I'll tire of it again eventually, but probably probably just temporarily. This is a really solid bean and roast *for how I make coffee.* (If you're curious, I'm very sloppy compared to a lot of coffee nerds: I pour over; I don't know what temp the water is, but it's not still boiling; I don't know how much water I use for the bloom but I get the grounds all visibly wet; I don't usually wet the filter first; the grind is past the half way point between medium and coarse. I don't really know how much grind I'm using. It takes about 10 seconds on my Oxo conical burr grinder. So I do it all "wrong," according to some, but it's how I do it. And this Copper Moon coffee is very accommodating to my sloppiness). I don't know how to describe the taste of those epic cups. But when it happens, every swallow is amazing.

I'm so glad I came across this brand. I really like Costa Rican coffees and this one doesn't disappoint. I use it to make Americanos in my espresso machine. They are very tasty. These aren't super high end beans, but then the cost isn't high end either. However, they produce reliably very good coffee bag after bag for a modest price.

So smooth , great purchase

these beans had a very nice aroma but were bone dry. they seemed devoid of all coffee oil. in my mill they sounded like grinding glass, in the pot they yielded a thin, watery brew of little flavor and mouthfeel, neither of which was improved by adjusting the amount used. but at least the aroma was very nice.

I fell in love with Costa Rican coffee the two times I visited there. This was delicious!
