Columbian - Rio Grande Roasters 3 Lb. Bag Whole Bean Coffee

Absolutely my favorite coffee blend on this earth! I used to work for this company and actually had never tried this blend until my district manager sent me a "sample" package to try. I've been a loyal drinker of this blend ever since and that's been 17-18 yrs! So glad I can still find it since I no longer live in New Mexico. If you like hot chocolate and like coffee, this is a great blend to try. I didn't think I'd like it since chocolate & coffee just didn't sound good to me but since my sample was free, what the heck! Never turning back. This is my perfect coffee and I love it!

Holy Smoly, this is some good stuff!!! I can't believe the beautiful deep rich chocolaty smell in exudes from bean to brew , and then the taste... pure chocolate nirvana!!! We just bought a bag last week and are almost out!!! I use a Cuisinart bur coffee maker and brew several pots of it a day for my family and I. It is just crazy good and I will be buying again!!! Also want to note several things about this coffeethat may help those you hunt for The Bean. With this particular flavor and roast, The stronger you make the coffee, the more pronounced the chocolate flavor becomes. Secondly, it is very smooth and have a wonderful lingering chocolaty aftertaste in your mouth. Lastly, the coffee will stay fresh if you close up the bag after use and then place the bag in an air tight canister or Tupperware... it even recomends doing this on the bag😉 My recommendation is if you love chocolate and you love coffee, then buy this roast!!!

Tried the pinion whole bean, and was pleasantly surprised at first opening the coffee bag. Wonderful aroma -- pine nuts and chocolate, besides coffee beans. The coffee's taste is quite good, and free of acid. I found the coffee drinking a little better by addition of evaporated milk. There must be numerous add-ins. To my surprise the aroma from a standard drip coffee maker provoked some inquiring bustle by those about. Will buy this coffee brand again.

Decent flavor, strong but not overpowering chocolate notes and classic pinon profile. Worth grabbing.

Good flavor.

So good!

Good

Ever since Las Chivas coffee roasters wen't out of business its been difficult finding a comparable replacement...until now. Every Christmas my loved ones get Pinon coffee. Originally thought it was a bit pricey however on arrival I realized I purchased the 3lb bags. Everyone I gifted says they enjoy the coffee. I bought an extra bag for myself and agree. The beans are dark brown and have a shiny coat. The smell of Pinon when opening the bag is a welcome aroma. The taste can be on the bitter side if brewed strong and or ground to fine. I will be purchasing more.
