*Please note: Sumatran coffee contains more defects than other origins. It meets the criteria of Grade 1 Sumatran coffee (each country's grading system is unique, dizzying, and sometimes doesn't relate directly to defect count). Cracked or split beans are due to the unique wet hulling process they use. We find that, though present, these defects don't present as taints or faults in the cup, and are typical of Fair Trade, Organic offerings from Sumatra.

Don't mistake Sumatran coffee for "Sumatran Gayo Honey"

Taste is subjective, so one coffee is not necessarily better than another. Sumatran has been the preferred coffee after trying them all. If "Sumatran Gayo Honey" ever returns to the store, it may be wise to avoid it. Friends, neighbors, and family members kept asking what was wrong with the coffee. It smelled like urine. Without any experience, I can't tell you if it tasted like urine, but it was very unpleasant. Washing the beans helped somewhat. As long as you're getting real Sumatran coffee, it's hard to go wrong with that. Everyone has complimented the taste of the (real) Sumatran coffee so far. I'm considering staying with Dean's Beans in spite of this, but shipping expenses are getting out of hand.

I should try others. Should, but...

As a long-time coffee drinker, I know that experiencing other flavors of coffee should be a good thing, but I have found the perfect bean, so why? These beans work well for me in all the ways I make coffee: cone drip, press, and espresso. I have never ended a mug or carafe with the bitter taste so common with other beans and that is why maybe I should try others, but why? When you have the best, why change?

Most people would rate this a five, for good reason. . .

I found it necessary to do a medium roast with these rather than my preferred lighter roasts in order to ensure they'd all cracked and could be ground easily. Need to wait at least a week post roast to start consuming but it's well worth the wait: the flavor is intensely sweet and nutty and cocoa-ish with a subtle chocolatey aroma. Real good flavor for about 10 days after the 7 day post roast wait.
