Gobena Coffee 5lb Fair Trade Organic Certified Nicaraguan Whole Bean Dark Roast, 100% Arabica Specialty Coffee, 80 ounces, 5 pounds, Bulk

Gobena is a wonderful company, and their coffee, particularly their Nicaraguan coffee, is smoothe and absolutely delicious! amazingly good coffee and a good cause as well -- doesn't get much better than that in our opinion!

Excellent coffee, dark roast but not bitter. Fair trade organic and profits going to the charity are great incentives to purchase more. Just subscribed for the 5lb bag

The part about helping orphaned children was a surprise which I read about with the papers that accompanied this order. It made me so glad. The coffee is also organic and Fair Trade. It's a nice big brown bag full of shining dark coffee beans. I grind by hand, daily, and use the pour-over method to brew my single cup. This coffee tastes very good. I will re-purchase in the future.

Had high hopes for this coffee based on the 4 five star reviews. What I got was a bag of coffee beans that looked really good, not dried out yet a little oily. Then I ground them an brewed a cup using the drip method. What I got was a brew that had a taste of muskiness to it. Best I can relate is it tasted like I had cleaned the cup with Pinesol and had not rinsed it out before brewing the coffee. Unfortunately, the cup was clean, and after at least a dozen other attempts, each brewing still had a off putting chemical taste to them. Just threw away the beans and ordered a more expensive brand I have used for years. Moral of the story is that you do get what you pay for. I recommend you steer clear of this one! My apologies, the strange taste was still present when I used the new coffee, and I found that the culprit was the creamer I was using. The stuff comes in a giant size and regular size and I had been refilling the small one with the large for months. Should have cleaned out the bottle before refilling. When I smelled it today, it was the strange smell I thought was from the coffee. So, giving the coffee the 5 star rating based on the quality of the beans.

After ordering dark roast whole bean coffee from another supplier which no longer has beans, thought we'd try this one from Amazon. This one is amazing, if you enjoy a strong bold flavor with no bitterness. This is far better than restraunt or grocery coffee. We will continue to order these beans as long as available. Highly recomend.

great tasting coffee

I had no idea how EXPENSIVE coffee beans could get until my partner started getting more into grinding his coffee fresh every day! Since we've been quarantining, we haven't had a chance to check our favourite discount spots for good quality coffee beans, and I had price tag shock after perusing Amazon for a while. Fortunately, I found this one which meets my partner's preferences of being an organic dark roast and had a lower price (by weight) than other choices I saw. He has really liked it and has since ordered several more bags for himself. I enjoy this with him on occasion, too!

Let me start by saying that I am a coffee snob. I am picky and look for many things. Plus one: Beans arrived in quality packing that is environmentally friendly. Plus two: beans smelled super fresh and were nice and oily when package was opened. Plus three: coffee was full of wonderful flavor and aroma when brewed. Plus four: came with a little note and feel good story about the good works they do. I highly recommend and will buy this coffee exclusively going forward.
