Flavor Name: Kona Blend
Size: 80 Ounce (Pack of 1)
First of, I'll admit it - I'm a coffee snob. That being said, I'm not sure what happened with some of the other reviewers' products, but I'm EXTREMELY happy with this coffee (so far*). The beans were all nicely roasted with no under-roasted beans or rocks like others have mentioned. The aroma is all
that a fresh, perfectly roasted Kona should smell like. The weight (without the bag) was 2 grams over 5lbs. I divided the beans up into 1lb bags and used my vacuum sealer to preserve the freshness. *Why "so far"? Well, to be honest, I still haven't tried a cuppa yet. But from everything I've observed and smelled so far, I'm sure it will be delicious. I'll update this review once I get a chance to do that.

This is better than any other brand. I’ve tried others. Kona coffee beats them all. The downside. Everyone wants me to make the coffee using Kona Coffee. I’m going through pounds of coffee. No bitter taste. No jittery nerves. Just a good cupper or as we say, “a good cup of Joe”.

Underwhelming but .......
Flavor Name: Kona Blend
Size: 80 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Flavor is just ok offering only hints of Kona flavor however the price point is excellent if you're trying to save a bit here and there. I'd buy a smaller quantity again as long as the price doesn't go up too much.

Which is good, because it stays fresher longer. When I use it, I will vacuum seal whatever is left to be stored. I have a container that can hold about 2 pounds, and it keeps air out too. So, I think my coffee will be just fine. The beans make a good pot of coffee

Kona in name only, freshness not guaranteed
Flavor Name: Kona Blend
Size: 80 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Note: I purchased this through Amazon Warehouse, as I've done for Starbucks, Peet's, Kicking Horse, etc. I've had very good deals and generally fresh coffee for these other brands. This First Colony Coffee was not worth it at all. The only good thing I could say about this was that cost per pound was
decent. But the "best if by date" was padded, in my view, and the beans were stale. The Kona blend is in name only and I think the rest of the beans were subpar Arabica you might expect from Folgers (which I despise) or others. I'm a marginal coffee snob, willing to try different beans at good prices, and this was a strikeout. Caveat emptor.

I'll admit it, I'm a little bit of a coffee snob
Flavor Name: Mexican,Whole Bean
Size: 80 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I'm picky about my coffee. I love a good, smooth flavor that is not bitter nor too bold. The best word I have is really that it's all about the taste being smooth yet also rich (in that it tastes like coffee, not hot water). I've found, in general, coffee beans from Mexico fit perfectly. They are my
absolutely favorite. I've tried others, and every one falls short from this region (and beans from US... don't get me started, YUCK!). My favorite, in the past, was Ruta Maya, but it's hard to get where I live and expensive on Amazon. After much searching and bargain hunting, I found First Colony awhile back and LOVED it! The taste is smooth, rich with flavor, and delicious! I have a bean to cup coffee maker to give me fresh coffee every day, and this brand is now my new favorite. I highly recommend trying it, you won't be disappointed. I'd veered away awhile cause the price went too high and found one that was pretty good. I was so glad to find this at a lower price point the other day and was quick to snatch it up! If you like a smooth, non-bitter, not sharp taste, you'll love this. If you prefer more of the European taste, this might be too mild for you and you'd want to look for French or, possibly, Italian. That'd be depending on your taste preferences as they are quite different, but I find French & Italian much bolder/sharper/more bitter. I hope this helps!

Okay taste, but the beans seem dry. No sheen to them, which makes me wonder about the roasting process.
