  • This is THE ONE!
Size: 2.2 Pound (Pack of 1)
Once upon a time, my husband and I used to buy a cup (at least) of coffee shop coffee every day. Eventually, we decided we should just make coffee ourselves at home: buy the packaged coffee shop coffee, make it on our home coffee maker, done and done, right? Well, not so much. The coffee we made at home just didn't taste the same as it did in the coffee shop, and we couldn't figure out why. So we researched. What we found was that there are about a billion variables to making a good cup of coffee. And after all our research regarding methods and equipment along with a bit of trial and error, we now have our home coffee making perfected to our liking. I'd like to caveat this by saying that I am by no means an expert on this stuff--just a regular person who did a lot of research and figured out what PERSONALLY works for me, and if anything I say here happens to help someone out who was in the same shoes I was, then that's great. First off, the coffee maker. We brew our coffee in a Technivorm Moccamaster (apparently one of the few consumer coffee makers that actually heats the water up to be hot enough to reach the ideal temp for making coffee--probably the biggest reason why our initial attemps at home coffee making failed. It's pretty pricey, but you can replicate the same results for much cheaper using a $15 pourover contraption, though it'll involve a more manual effort on your behalf. Another alternative at $150--still somewhat pricey, but about half the cost of the Technivorm--is the Bonavita; if the Bonavita was around back when we were researching coffee makers 3 years ago, we probably would've opted to get that one instead, primarily for the cost savings. The Technivorm was our best option at the time, though, so that's what we got, and we're still extremely happy with it, even after 3 years of daily use.). Just as importantly, we make sure to use high-quality whole bean coffee [stored well if you're not using the whole bag within a week (we use the Friis coffee vault) since CO2 and light are not friends to coffee beans. We also freshly grind just enough whole beans for that particular brew cycle just prior to brewing, and we use a good quality BURR grinder--in our case, the Capresso Infinity burr grinder. Refer to Alton Brown's coffee episode if you're curious why it's so important to use a burr grinder as opposed to a blade grinder.]. We eventually realized we weren't huge fans of a lot of the whole bean coffees easily obtained in supermarkets or large chain coffee shops (I'm looking at you, Starbucks), yet didn't like paying shipping for the coffees from independent, small-batch roasters (as good as those coffees were, I really, REALLY hate paying for shipping). As such, I turned to my trusty Amazon Prime to save the day. I found Kicking Horse Coffee Kick Ass Dark Whole Bean Coffee via the stellar reviews, placed an order, and hoped for the best (2.2 lbs. is a lot of coffee to have if it turns out I didn't like it). Thankfully, I'm happy to say that I've found THE ONE! This coffee is complex, deep, and smoky, yet without any burnt taste at all. And the fact that it's fair-trade and organic is icing on the cake. And (AND!) if that weren't enough, it's quickly and easily available on Amazon Prime AND part of their subscribe-and-save program. WIN! Extra tips: - Preheat your carafe and coffee mugs by filling with hot water and discarding before using so that the cold carafe and coffee mugs don't steal all the heat from your freshly brewed coffee. - Only use good quality, filtered water for brewing. - Make sure you grind your coffee according to how coarse/fine is recommended for the particular coffee you are using, and make sure you use the correct proportions of coffee to water (for those who have European coffee makers such as the Technivorm, keep in mind that a cup of coffee made in these coffee makers is typically less ounces than in American coffee makers). - Clean your burr grinder on a regular basis by using the white rice method. This is especially important if you grind oily coffee beans such as Kicking Horse Kick Ass Dark. ... show more

  • Very good brew!
Size: 2.2 Pound (Pack of 1)
I love coffee, look forward to drinking it every morning, but I’m not an “aficionado”. I just like what I like - dark but not too dark. I have a cheap drip coffee maker (Hamilton Beach Flex Brew) and just want a good cup without breaking the bank. I’ve pretty much tried all the grocery store brands, and this was the first time in years for me to break out my old coffee grinder, I think purchased in the 90s. Another reviewer recommended 55 grams coffee to one liter water. For my 14 oz mug, that means 23.6 grams. I followed that formula to weigh the beans, ground them up, and popped them in. Great cup of coffee! Strong and dark but also smooth - not bitter at all. I drink black coffee, but at a coffee shop the dark roast is usually too bitter or ashy for me - this was not. The next day I tried cutting back to 21 grams of beans, just to see if I could save a pinch. Nope! It was acceptable but I had to add a little raw cacao powder to enjoy it. The 55 grams per liter formula is PERFECT. My fave “less expensive” grocery store brand is Wide Awake. By my calculations, this is about the same price per cup, and I like it better. The extra time to weigh, grind and fill is worth it. Note - as others have said, there was no roast date the package but there was a “use by”. The date on mine is April 2021, I purchased in June 2020. The beans are not oily and smell great to me. When I grind them. very little of the grounds stick to the walls of the grinder. It will take me about 5 weeks to use all the beans, so hopefully they will still taste fresh in late July if I keep them sealed well. ... show more

  • Thank you to all reviewers for providing clear, concise, and accurate descriptions of this coffee!!
Size: 2.2 Pound (Pack of 1)
This coffee is incredible! Immediately upon opening the bag, the aroma was so divine and our mouths began to water. We ground up enough beans for a pot of coffee and as the coffee brewed we were assaulted with even more mouth-watering scents. I couldn't wait for the full pot to brew, snuck (is that a word?) a cup and was treated with one of the best cups of coffee EVER! We have been faithful Starbucks Espresso Blend coffee connoisseurs for years and have found only one other coffee that comes close - that being Green Mountain Dark Magic. The one thing I don't like about the Starbucks Espresso is that it does get a bitter taste if not brewed perfectly - which can be difficult to do consistently. But while looking to purchase the Starbucks Espresso Blend at Amazon, I came across the Kicking Horse coffee that I've never heard of before. I was intrigued...read the description and it sounded like something we might be interested in. Their blends sounded quite interesting so I decided, as I always do, to read the reviews. My sincere thanks to all those who previously wrote a review on this coffee. My purchase was based on those reviews and I want all to know your reviews were honest and offered incredible descriptions. Many, many reviewers are obviously much better with words that I can ever hope to be. And being so many good reviews, I then had to decide which blend to try. Opted for the Kick Ass and we have found our new favorite coffee! Wow - that's all I can say (see, told you I wasn't very good with words). This is so good, no bitterness, smooth and simply divine. Everything you want in a good cup of coffee. The price is extremely reasonable, as well, for a premium coffee. I highly recommend Kicking Horse Kick Ass coffee!!!!! We will definitely be trying their other blends and hope to have the same experience. ... show more

  • Nice complex dark roast
Size: 2.2 Pound (Pack of 1)
I am a bit of a coffee snob. I drink my coffee black and I expect flavor from a dark roast coffee. I generally go for Italian roast from Starbucks or Thanksgiving roast or Christmas roast. It’s so hard to find a good dark roast complex flavored coffee and I think this one fits the bill. It does not taste burnt which is good but it does have some complex deep flavor ... show more
