 Good coffee, but 26.3 ounces, not 32.May 18, 2010
By Jack Happens
This coffee was very good, being at least the equal of the best of the 7 different coffees I have tried thus far here from Amazon. It was very fresh, had excellent aroma, and produced a very nice brew in my French press. Upon receipt of the coffee I noticed that the bag was nowhere near full. I have had other coffees come in less-than-full bags, but this one seemed to be way off. Since I sell merchandise online myself, I have an accurate postal scale. The "2 pound" bag came in at almost 6 ounces less than a full 32, including the weight of the bag. From previous orders from Amazon, other coffees seem to be based on the "as delivered" weight, not on some sort of weight prior to roasting. The bag itself did not have a breather, so it is hard to imagine that almost 20% of the weight was lost in shipping. Don't know what happened here but the result is that I feel I payed almost 20% more for the beans than the advertised price. I am curious if others have noticed this from this company. I would like to think that I simply got a careless shipment and not a care-less policy.

 Great Dark Roast CoffeeOct 17, 2008
By JKH

I have long enjoyed Cafe Altura's dark roast coffees. They have a rich, bold flavor and the actual beans smell freshly roasted. Also, it is nice to have a fair-traded, organic coffee at this price.
Highly recommended

Wonderful!Sep 23, 2009
By Amazonian
Really an outstanding coffee. Consistently good flavor from bag to bag. We have been enjoying this for over a year and have not been disappointed with the Sumatran Dark. The roast is optimal -- luscious and aromatic, like espresso, not over-roasted and burnt. Love the fact that it is organic and fair-trade also. The value is excellent, especially with Subscribe & Save.
I can't say the same of other varieties of Altura that I've tried; I've only been really pleased with the Sumatran, not others. Also, this coffee blows away competing (and much more expensive) offerings from Jeremiah's and Appassionato which lacked freshness and full flavor.
Truly a quality buy! Full 5 Stars - Highly recommend!

Very satifying dark whole bean coffeeDec 02, 2008
By Nettie Scott
I've been using this bean for the past year when making my own dark whole bean blend. It has a rich, warm taste and never a hint of over roasting. It is great by itself as well, but when blended with other beans it allows me to create a complex flavor. The price is reasonable as well.

Nothing comes closeSep 07, 2009
By S. Kirwan
"voodoochile #1"
I love coffee, i have tried so many in the past and happened upon the cafe altura. Now, every other coffee out there is just so-so. I occasionally give another recommended brand a chance but it never comes close to this one.
When you open the bag the quality is clear: The smell is intoxicating - not fake like flavored coffees and not 'burnt' like starbucks, but rich full COFFEE flavor. Also, the beans are visually oily, not wet or nasty as i have heard of some coffees in the past but just shiny with the oil (where all the flavor is)
Because of the quality of this coffee i use less, the taste will tempt you to take it black, and its organic from an ecologically-minded farmer....sweet!
