Wallenford's 100% Jamaica Blue Mountain Roasted Whole BeanCoffee - Authentic Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee Beans, Blue Mountain Coffee from Jamaica - 16oz

I made the sorry mistake of buying blue mountain coffee while in Jamaica during cruise. Once I was home and tried it, I couldn’t and still cannot, own or buy any other kind of coffee. The reason I’m “sorry” is because it’s expensive but lord have mercy, it’s just sooooo good! This was a new brand for me as I had only tried Jablum but this was slightly more affordable but JUST as delicious. The flavor is perfection. So smooth. Not bitter. I didn’t even know I was drinking bitter coffee until I tried blue mountain coffee! It’s a huge difference. Smelling the coffee grounds before putting it in my coffee machine has become a favorite thing to do - I’ve never been that way about coffee before - like what? My favorite thing to do is smell coffee grounds before making coffee? It sounds so weird lol but this kind of coffee has really brought out a side in me I never knew and I’m grateful. My day is always better when I can start it with this coffee....I wake up earlier to make it and enjoy it before work. It’s that good. I’m compromising sleep! My only complaint is the cost - for coffee it really is expensive 😞

This was the second time I purchased this coffee from this seller, the first pound was exactly how I knew JBM coffee tasted like, but this second pound was nothing like what JBM coffee tastes like, the coffee was very bitter and tasted like some decaf instant coffee. This was an embarrassing Xmas present to give my wife, I am seriously thinking of dumping the remaining beans in the garbage, at over $60 a pound it really is a shame. The one star is no reflection on the seller just the coffee I received, the seller shipped and packaged the coffee just fine. Update...... I was contacted by Wallenford regarding the bad coffee I received, after a few emails with their customer service it turned out that it seems the seal had broken on the pound off coffee I received which in turn had turned the coffee bitter, Wallenford customer service is second to none, I did not contact them but they did read the review and reached out to me replacing the bad coffee, I can say now that the Wallenford coffee is a great cup of coffee, exactly how I remembered it to taste, perfect first pot of coffee from the new pound. Thank You

These are superb beans, worthy of your best brewing technique. The roast is medium to light, giving the beans a smooth, dry look with no oils on the surface (which I suppose implies that they are still inside the bean, waiting to be extracted during brewing). I found the beans to be quite uniform in shape and size, with very few cracked or damaged. Although I couldn't find a roast date on the bag, they came to me fresh...sometimes, I notice the more expensive beans tend to be past their prime - this isn't one of those, at least not in the batch I got. I'm amazed at the difference in taste, depending on how you brew it. Ground to a very fine espresso roast, you get amazingly good espresso...a distinct sweet and chocolate taste, though perhaps a bit light on crema. We grind 10 grams per shot, tamp to 30 pounds, set a five second pre-infusion and 30 second brew at 198 degrees. Glorious - perhaps the best shot of espresso I've ever had. Grind it a bit more coarsely, and you get a fantastic result in the French press...not as heavy or sweet, with a smooth and more pronounced "coffee" flavor. Totally different character than the same bean prepared in the espresso machine. Anyway, if you like a smooth, mild coffee, you owe it to yourself to try some of these beans...in the right hands, it makes some of the best coffee you'll ever taste.

Thought I'd try the reputed 'best coffee in the world' -- of course, best is subjective. I did not find it anything particularly special. It was good, but not worth the price to me. Maybe it wasn't as fresh as when folks go try it there or bring it home straight from a trip there.

Not worth $60. I'm an avid coffee drinker and have tried coffee from all over the world. It's good coffee but there are plenty of good coffees out there for way less. I've also had Blue Mountain Estate from other sources and they were better. Not worth what I paid for it and won't order again.

I've had Wallenford coffee a number of times over the years - I usually order some around Christmas each year. The coffee I got this time is icky - as a couple other people said, it tasted bitter, or like it had been burned during roasting. The package did not appear to be open when it arrived, so that excuse does not work. You CANNOT charge $63 a pound for something tasting nasty like this! In the future, I guess I'll go with the smaller estates (RSW Estates, Clifton Mount, Old Tavern) who hopefully have better quality control. UPDATE: Wallenford came through with another bag. They weren't able to come up with an explanation of what precisely happened with the first bag, but they did make it right. I'll continue to buy their coffee.

I purchased this product twice before with and the quality of the coffee was acceptable. I purchased it December 2019 as a Christmas present and was recently informed that the coffee was stale and had a burnt taste. It was noted the product was roasted in September 2019 which is probably too old for JBM coffee. The product is non-returnable and non-refundable. Very disappointing to have paid over $50 for pound of coffee that wound up in the garbage pail. I won't be ordering it ever again.

Excellent flavor!!

If you've ever tasted good blue mountain coffee, you won't be sorry to give this expression room in you kitchen. Best taken with as few accompaniments such as milk, cream and sugar/sweetener, so that its delicate flavours and aroma are not blunted. For best results, be generous with amounts per cup. Don't try to stretch it out by using less; this has the same effect that it does with cheaper coffees: they all become undrinkable. If you haven't tried it yet, what are you waiting for?

Loved it!

Unfortunately not as I recall blue mountain should be. Maybe there was a packaging problem, but this tastes just like instant decaf. Disappointing really.
