Mt. Whitney Coffee RoastersOrganic Peru Decaf, Medium Roast Whole Bean, 12 oz (340 g)

Wonderful, mild flavor, no bitterness. I rough grind and use as a cold brew and the flavor is great when made this way. I can get 2 servings out of this, so I re-soak the grounds for a second batch. It will be weaker, so use half the water, but the flavor is still good .I find that cold brewing doesn't deplete the beans as much as hot water. I sometimes use the second batch as ice cubes so my iced coffee won't get diluted. The second batch can also be extracted by heating it. Gently - no boiling water. Experiment. Flavor is subjective, so not everyone will like this, but I get stomach aches from regular coffee, and this coffee, and the cold brew method is easy to take and tastes great. The ability to extract 2 brews from each ground batch is great, too. I made a regular batch of drip coffee from this once and the flavor was not as good hot as it is when cold-brewed. High heat may damage the beans. Packaging kept the beans fresh, too. I'm a sugar and cream gal, and I can drink this black.

Nice flavour: a medium roast, generally balanced, decently smooth. Nice packaging which keeps beans 'fresh' for a decent amount of time (releasing some gasses but not too much air exposure). Good price. Do NOT use boiling water. Even though this is already recommended for the best flavour for coffee in general, this one reacts quite poorly to it, so make certain the water cools a little before adding. It is pretty temperature sensitive altogether, and 'too cool' also sort of sucks, so you might want to get a thermometer to ensure you are in the best range (195-205F). Organic is great, and I'd heard good things about the Swiss Water method. This is the first organic decaf coffee I've tried that I've liked (and I've tried over 3 dozen). Now that I've tried this method, I'm willing to explore more brands, but it definitely was a good "beginner" experience.

I purchased the Breville Barista Express to start making my own espresso. I don't know anything about coffee and Starbucks has been the best coffee I have ever tasted prior to buying my machine. This is my first coffee which was not a dark roast. It is absolutely divine.I can't explain how smooth it is. I pulled ristretto shots with my espresso maker and then foamed up some soy milk. I grated some dark chocolate on top with a little cinnamon and it was heavenly. I wish I was knowledgeable enough about coffee or had a more sophisticated palette so I could explain how it tastes but I cannot. The most I can say is that it doesn't have any of that almost burnt intense taste that I now assume is resident to a dark roast. In some coffees that taste isn't bad but in others it can be terrible. This coffee is so smooth while I was drinking it at first I thought it didn't even taste like coffee because I was unaccustomed to the intense flavor. All I can really say is I will buy this again and highly recommend it.

Well Mt. Whitney decaf made it to my "save the empty pack in case I want to reorder some" drawer. There are two others in there with it, so it's not getting 5 stars out of me yet. Maybe I'm expecting too much but I'm still looking for the reasonably priced coffee bean that smells great while grinding, while making it and while drinking it. This does reach the level of good. I had been satisfied on all counts with Dunkin Donuts decaf whole bean bought at the local DD store (not at other locations where the supplier is different from the store supplier from what I understand). They no longer offer the whole bean decaf, and frankly the preground DD just tastes like any other decent decaf. So Mt. Whitney should be on your try list if like me you are searching. It may end up being both our final choices.

I don't know if my particular batch of this coffee was ruined for some reason, but it was about the worst tasting coffee I've ever had; it was undrinkable. It had a foul, acrid, ?grassy taste that is hard to describe. It wasn't burnt at all - a mild-to-medium roast (maybe too mild?). It's almost as if someone added a nasty chemical to the coffee - it was that bad. I even tried adding small amounts of these beans to another type in my super automatic coffee maker, but the coffee made still had that nasty taste.Someone else may want to purchase some of this to see if my experience was atypical; I'm not going to risk it.
