San Francisco Bay Coffee - Medium Roast Whole Bean Coffee - Hawaiian Blend (2 lb bag)

Fog Chaser was a gift 💝-I have been drinking San Franciso Dark Roast but the last bag was more acidic than usual, so I wanted to try something else. This Fog Chaser whole bean is fantastic! It’s very rich, smooth and velvety, but plenty strong without being bitter or burnt . The beans are oily as they should be and the coffee tastes very fresh. This is what I will be drinking from now on! I sent a gift bag to someone who also drinks French Roast (from a popular coffee house chain store), and she was also impressed and says she is switching to this coffee. I like their fair trade practices and the 2 pound bag is such a great value!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This Decaf coffee is GREAT!! I prefer to get the whole beans so that I know exactly what's in my cup and I've tried MANY brands. I'm also very picky about ONLY buying "water processed" so as not to have the chemicals used to decaffeinate coffee in my cup. This is probably my favorite in regards to taste and price. Love it!

I have purchased several blends from San Francisco Bay coffee company, so I will leave a brief blurb for each one. Overall, the company produces good whole bean coffee for the value. It smells and tastes fresh.Decaf Gourmet Blend: Very basic decaf coffee. It is only fine. It definitely has that rather flat, decaf taste. It was better than most decaf coffees from the grocery store, but still not something I really wanted to drink.Bay Bridge Blend: This coffee is supposed to be a medium roast, but in my opinion it is a pretty dark medium roast. It has good flavor that is bright and not too acidic. Still it is darker than I preferDecaf Bay Bridge Blend: Incredible! When I received my first bag of this decaf, which I decided to try since I didn't like the Gourmet variety, I was worried that someone had incorrectly labeled a bag of caffeinated beans because they smelled so delicious when I just cut the bag open. This decaf is far and away the closest I have tasted to regular. It has lots of character and flavor. I highly recommend San Francisco Bay Coffee just for this particular decaf blend, which absolutely deserves 5 stars!

Strong, smooth flavor. Delicious. Grind well and evenly. Coffee is getting so expensive... ☕☕☕

You will definitely enjoy this coffee (hazelnut) whole bean. Good price, quality roast, no bitterness.

Wasn't my 1st choice in coffee beans, but I tried them and now I'm hooked. They are on the bold side without having what I feel is a bitter taste in the bolder beans.

Beans are almost black. Shiny, slightly oily, with a pungent aroma. More intense than most very dark roasts I have tried, with a burned earthy flavor. Tastes over-roasted to me; I will try mixing with a lighter roast to see whether I can drink some blended combination.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I visited a buddy at his house and had a cup of coffee made by his fully automatic coffee maker. (His is very similar to mine, but more expensive than the one I subsequently purchased here on Amazon.) Check out my review for that. Anyway, I was really impressed with the coffee he made. When I received the order, yup, it was as good as what I had experienced at my friend’s home. Just go for it, you’ll like it, too!
