Review on Premium SF Bay Coffee: Fog Chaser Whole Bean 2LB (32 Ounce) - Perfectly Balanced Medium Dark Roast by Brian Hazzard

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Still tastes better than Starbucks

Our local Costco has stopped selling this brand. They've made this before and then brought it back and I hope they do it again because it was the cheapest whole bean coffee they sold and it tastes amazing. It came to Costco in a 3 pound bag for $17. It's about the same price here at Revain, but it's only a £2 bag. We almost ran out of a bag I bought here at Revain but I was headed to Costco so thought I'd see how much another whole bag would cost. the cost of coffee beans. Starbucks French Roast was $17 for a 2.5 pound bag, so I decided to give it a try. Not even close. When you opened the package you could tell it didn't have the great flavor that SF Bay French Roast has. And the coffee was good, but not nearly as strong and aromatic. So after we've used up that Starbucks bag, we'll probably be heading back here to Revain for an SF Bay coffee. But I want Costco to carry it again as we get money from Costco for our purchases and it was a bigger bag.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • You may get hurt
