NEW YORK JO: 2 lb, Medium Dark Roast, Whole Bean Coffee, 100% Arabica Beans, USDA Certified Organic, NON-GMO, Signature House Blend, Gluten Free, Gourmet Coffee from Jo Coffee

I do immensely enjoy a nice cup of Columbian Jo. Put through a french press with a medium ground bean. Sitting at my breakfast nook perhaps reading a great book by Richard Dawkins. I take about a 6–7 oz cup with a teaspoon of honey and a splash of milk. The milk must be gluten-free along with the coffee and honey. I have found the “Jo” brand is great at that while producing a superior whole-bean coffee. I have only recently found this brand and I am very pleased with it. So many brands of coffee have added chemicals that will contain gluten making their products just a poor or substandard version of what they should actually be. Starbucks and the rebranded Costco (Also Starbucks) coffees are examples of this. It is just so hard to find a good bean that has been properly roasted without having to throw the entire bag away after just one cup because it is contaminated because of the gluten. Do I have to remind myself that if gluten can get in the coffee then what other harmful chemicals could be in there?So, I am finally at peace with my forever coffee being “Jo”.

So, first off, I'm a huge fan of good coffee, but this was my first time making coffee completely from scratch. I've been wanting to start drinking coffee in the morning, but I don't like having too much. I'm more of a one cup ever person, because I'm really strict about my caffeine intake, lol. Possibly to a fault there, but that's more of a personal thing...I got this coffee with a new grinder and an Aeropress all in the same box on the same day, so this was literally my first time using any of these things. I research a lot, and it's not like it's hard to figure out super simple stuff, but I did screw up a little where I think it'll be better in the future.Regardless of that, the coffee was really good. I actually like my coffee a little bitter sometimes, but this wasn't bitter at all. That was fine. Really smooth finish and I enjoyed it. I tried it out with some grass-fed unsalted butter/coconut oil recipe (just those things, no sugar/milk) and I enjoyed it. I tried some without either of those, just black, and it was also good. So overall it's just really good coffee, but if you're looking for something with a little more of a bitter flavor, I'd go with a stronger blend. It's a good all-around coffee, though, and good to have around for guests where you don't know their coffee preferences.I like the beans part, though, because I can just grind up a cup whenever I want. I think any grinder is fine. I loved using the Aeropress, too. I believe that I used it a little too quickly, though, so I think I can squeak out a bit more flavor from the coffee in the future if I slow down there. It was my first time, so I was kind of excited, lol. For those who aren't familiar with the Aeropress, once you have hot water you can basically make a cup of coffee in ~30 seconds (I think mine was more like 20 seconds, though). I wasn't entirely sure how much to use, either, so I just used the scoop from the Aeropress to measure the beans (though the instructions said 2 scoops, but I think that might be a bit much? I would guess 1.5 Aeropress scooper scoops of beans, grind those, and use that would be perfect. I only used 1 scoop, so next time I'll screw around with that).So, overall, good coffee. Nice flavor. Mixed well and tasted good with unconventional coffee accoutrements that I haven't tried before, so that was a bonus. Tasted fine black, too. I assume it tastes fine with any good ingredients. Not the most powerful flavor, but you don't always need some huge rush of taste overpowering your senses, you know? Definitely a nice medium roast, and the crema/heavy dark chocolate flavor is accurate. I'd say more like a ~60% dark chocolate. I'll definitely be trying out a stronger roast from them later, though, as occasionally i'm a huge 80-90% dark chocolate fan, and I'm hoping they've got a coffee that can sate those types of desires. They've got a ton of different types/flavors, so I'm definitely excited to try more.

Good coffee. Worth the money, but the price IS a bit steep.

It seems like I've tried every brand, and the Stone Cold Jo is the winner for my cold brew. Really good coffee. Ground some up less coarsely for a friend to brew hot and he really liked it too. I don't know all the coffee lingo, but it's nice and strong without the bitterness.

My go to espresso in LaVazza Super Cream but I though I would try an alternative, after reading some very positive reviews for Jo Espresso (plus my wife's name is Jo!!) I though I would give it a try. I will say it makes for a very smooth and great tasting expresso (perhaps a bit better if not similar to Lavazza SC) but at more than twice the cost I don't think it's worth the xtra $$

although there was a tiny break in the seal of the bag when it arrived, the coffee smelled so delicious I didn't even think about sending it back. I brewed my first pot this morning and I found it to be everything I wanted--complex, aromatic, satisfying. I also didn't see that I was ordering whole beans, but I do have a coffee grinder and I have happily put it into service!

Tastes remarkable.

It has specific taste, but in terms of caffeine content and the effect it produces in the body this coffee does not have any competitor on Earth

The best flavours!
