Fair Trade Organic Breakfast Blend Whole Bean Coffee

In the interest of full disclosure, I'm usually a dark roast coffee kind of guy. But I wanted to give this Corner One Organic Breakfast Blend a try. I have to say, it was much more flavorful than I was expecting, and that was a pleasant surprise. Even when drinking it black, it was still pleasing to the palate. Not as strong and robust as a dark roast, but still plenty satisfying. My wife isn't a dark roast fan, so it's nice to have this coffee on-hand for when we have to compromise (which is pretty often). Nice that it's fair trade, too!

Hubby is usually the coffee buyer, but I choose this one for a change. Smells great and fresh out of the bag. The medium roast is the perfect level for me, light roasts are too thin tasting and the bolds are a bit too strong. With this breakfast blend I don't need to add sugar, just the usual cream to make it right. Have not developed a taste for black coffee yet. The organic label is important as you just don't know what could be sprayed or dumped on growing plants so that the producer can make more money while your health is jeopardized. It grinds up well and we use it in a Keurig with the reusable K-cups.

I have never tried Corner One coffee before. The Corner One Fair Trade Organic Breakfast Blend whole bean coffee is perfect anytime. I drink coffee before and at work. I have never tried 100% Arabica coffee before. This medium roast coffee is smooth and full-bodied. This breakfast blend is very tasty. It's worth the extra cost. I also like knowing that this coffee is fair trade certified so you know that the producers of the coffee in developing countries are paid a fair price for the beans. It is also certified organic. That has become more and more important to me, and I choose organic when we can afford it on our budget. It's double what we normally pay per pound for coffee, but definitely would be worth it as an occasional treat, or when we have company over..

We’re die-hard coffee drinkers, but this is the first time we’ve ever tried anything from Corner 1 Coffee Company. We’re very impressed with their whole bean Breakfast Blend. I couldn’t help but notice how aromatic the beans were when the bag was initially opened, and they remain just as fragrant each time I re-open the bag to refill the coffee grinder. We recently ordered a new coffee maker that has a bold feature—the setting allows more time for the coffee to steep and extract even more oils from the coffee beans. Too often other brands taste a bit bitter when the bold feature is on, but this medium roast tastes absolutely perfect and well-balanced. Each cup is full-bodied yet smooth—we love the rich flavor. It's refreshing to find a premium coffee that delivers both excellent taste as well as sound sourcing principles. This may be our first bag of Corner 1 Coffee, but it won’t be our last.

A solid but simple light roast blend. Definitely a hint of French roast like taste (I like that in a morning blend). Not a strong after taste... Perhaps a very mild Chestnut like flavor... But really a simple coffee.
