Review on Medium Roast Whole Bean Coffee - 100% Colombian Peaks by Eight O'Clock Coffee, 40 Oz by Timothy Schroeder

Haven't had anything but Eight Oclock Columbian for probably 5 years One of the cheapest big brand coffees but also one of the best. Like most Colombian coffees grown in the mountains, this one is very smooth and forgiving of poor grinding or brewing. Nice aroma when brewing on my super-automatic DeLonghi Magnifica. Decent cream. The medium roast, which I prefer for espresso, never burns. Make it as strong as you like, always gentle on the palate and nose. I've used this bean for Pourover, French Press, Mok, Biggin, and Vintage Percolator Coffee. The only disappointment was the infusion where it didn't have much effect in the drink but was otherwise pretty decent, very drinkable. The beans grind well in every grinder I've tried, including the DeLonghi Magnificas grinder. Don't spend crazy money on exotic coffee with kitty litter. Or an overpriced artisanal roast. This one will suit you.
