Eight O'Clock Coffee The Original Whole Bean Coffee, Medium Roast, 21 Ounce (Pack of 1) - Sweet, Fruity, Well Balanced

Arrives quickly, and it's a time-proven brand that doesn't taste scorched, like so many coffee brands do (Starbucks, Tim Horton, Black Rifle 🤮). Smooth, rich flavor, with good body, at a price people can afford.

I’m always looking for good coffee at a good price, and based on so many great reviews I went ahead and ordered this one. Lately I have been doing cold brew, and I grind my own beans to a course grind for cold brew. Very pleased with the outcome, very tasty and maybe will grind some to do a pour over. Very well may purchase this one again…

Where do I begin. The price of it is absolutely phenomenal at five dollars a pound you can’t beat that deal. When I get coffee at five dollars a pound it’s usually oily crappy dark roast coffee that isn’t good. This coffee is a medium roast or dark roast. It’s a six out of 10 on the roast scale. When you look at the coffee it’s really clean with no young beans Earl beans all the beans are standardized. When you have different colored beans this means the coffee is cheap. This isn’t cheap coffee. Being from the state of New Jersey I’m proud to say this was roasted in my home state and they do a damn good job. This coffee is found in many bagel shops around New Jersey and New York. And Where do I begin. The price of it is absolutely phenomenal at five dollars a pound you can’t beat that deal.

This coffee is found in many bagel shops around New Jersey and New York. And I am proud to drink it. I have tried at least 20 coffees on my SAECO Xsmall espresso machine. This machine is supersensitive and if the beans are too oily or dunk rain well even after adjusting the grind. The machine clogs up and then you have to take the whole machine apart. It’s one of the best espresso machines I’ve owned but it’s very selective on the kind of beans you want to use. I’ve tried 20 different brands going from coffee at $40 a pound to my local Winco store that sells five dollar pound of coffee bags which are oily and cheap. Out of all 20 coffees. Only two worked. PYK coffee and EIGNT O’CLOCK. Everything else clogs up the machine either it’s too oily or artificial flavors are added or the coffee is just cheap coffee and sold at a high price. I even used very overpriced $40 a pound Starbucks coffee from Rwanda and it clogged up the entire machine and the espresso tasted like garbage. I even tried a Starbucks blonde roast which is supposed to be a little dryer and it still clogged up the machine. Any Starbucks coffees that I used with clog up the machine and break it and I’ll have to replace parts. But this coffee 8 o’clock. Does the job. It doesn’t clog up the machine. It cooks really well.

When the coffee PUCKS come out. They all together and they are in one piece where I can lift them up and feel them. Because of this you can tell the coffee is good. When are you Starbucks coffee or any other brand of the 18 brands I’ve tried The coffee would either break apart in the internal machines mechanism or it would break apart when dumped in the drop drawer. Which tells me the coffee is oily and low quality and it was roasted too high of a temperature and not slow roasted. Which this means the coffee was roasted at a high temperature and all the oil’s were pulled out when roasted meaning you don’t get a lot of caffeine and you get a crappy burnt cup of coffee like Starbucks. Even though this coffee is cheap don’t judge the price. The price is well priced for what you’re getting good quality cup of Joe nothing too crazy. And the people that say taste like mud those are the people that want to drink hazelnut latte is filled with a bunch of sugar and garbage artificial flavors. To describe it it’s a good cup of New Jersey coffee that you would have the bagel and cream cheese and it works amazing my espresso machine I’ve been on the hunt for a good coffee for the last three years and this is the one that really makes the deal. My espresso machine has pull 200 shots of this coffee and not once has a clogged up and not once have I had to replace a single part because of this espresso machines ability to use this great coffee.

I have been drinking Eight O'clock coffee for at least 10 years. I especially enjoy it when made with fresh ground beans so I have been disappointed that some clubs including my local one have removed their coffee grinders. They still sell only the whole bean coffee but have no way to grind it. The home blade grinders do not grind as well as the big burr grinders the stores had and are noisy as well as messy. I would give the product 5 stars for coffee house coffee at discount store prices except for the lack of a grinder. Online you can purchase pre-ground beans but the coffee is not quite fresh

great coffee very smooth

It’s good coffee. Medium roast. Handles cream and chocolate syrup for me, black for my doppelgänger. The coffee I crave and grew up with. The caffeine I need. The traditional beans of New York/Philly. Delicious. It’s smooth, can be bold and basic essential caffeine goodness. I prepare grind mine coarse, perk it old school, in a stainless steel percolator on the stovetop. Drink it all day at various temperatures. Decant the last cups into a bottle and refrigerate for the morning iced coffee.

Very good tasty coffee that is above average, solid packaging, and has been a proven brand for years. Great to crank up the workday in your travel mug, or enjoy the slow sipping goodness on the weekends.

The packaging for this coffee is excellent, with a reliable seal and valve that keep the beans fresh. Upon opening the bag, the aroma is a standout—notes of dark chocolate and wine dominate, with a smoothness that is not overly roasty. It's an amazing aroma that draws you in right away. The beans are uniform in color and have a good level of oil, though I did notice a few husks here and there - not a big deal considering this is a blend. The roast accuracy is spot-on, delivering a perfect medium roast as advertised.In terms of flavor, it has a medium body and a high, vibrant acidity that makes each sip lively. The taste is subtle yet distinct, with fruity and earthy notes reminiscent of wine. I didn't expect to enjoy the winey flavor as much as I did, but it really works and adds a unique dimension to the cup. The smoothness is consistent, though there’s a slight bitter tail that balances it out nicely. Overall, the flavor profile is exactly as described on the packaging, and I could easily drink this coffee all day.With cream, this Columbian Peaks truly shines. Cream enhances the flavors, making the wine-ish qualities even more enjoyable and adding richness to the cup. This coffee is probably my favorite right now and definitely the best I’ve tried in far too long. The quality and flavor are outstanding for the $8 price tag, and I would strongly recommend it to absolutely anyone because it's just that good. Overall grade: A+.
