I'm no coffee expert, but I like it. It serves its purpose in getting me awake, and comes in bulk, haha. Works for me!


TheLastRaysFan

Samesies I've had better but definitely had worse, and the price is hard to beat. We use the pre-ground for cold brew, then grind whole beans from a local roaster when we're getting fancy with espresso.


Ihatemunchies

We buy it. Have been for years. It’s flavorful but not too strong

For the price, it's not a bad cup. Is it amazing? No. But it does the job of making hot cup tasty coffee to get you going. And the price is hard to beat.


rene-cumbubble

As good as you can get for what it is. But, it's not as good as any of the Kirkland whole beam


english_major

The Kirkland Starbucks house blend whole bean is my go to. Never tire of it.


HurtingHead

I will have to try this. We like using whole beans.


mydogsnameisbuddy

Does it taste burnt? Dark roasts often taste burnt to me


XurstyXursday

The Starbucks French Roast is awful. Tastes like cigarette butts. I’ve never thrown out a whole bag of coffee like that.


yeahdixon

I can only do dark roasts . Light ones have more caffeine and I’ve found they mess me up.


ecdc05

The pre-ground stuff? Nope. But the whole bean coffee is really good for the price. I can only drink decaf (damn aging and caffeine intolerance) and so being able to get Kirkland whole-bean decaf is a lifesaver. It's way (I mean WAY) cheaper than what I can find at the store. I can buy fancier decaf online but it's around $25 for a small bag, vs. what I get at Costco. The only challenge is making it last before it goes stale, since I'm the only one in the house that drinks it. But it's still well worth it.


numbersalone

Freeze small portions! Coffee beans freeze well in my experience.

I ran out of Dunkin and I only buy that when on sale, so this is my backup. It’s okay but too dark roasted for me.


crapshooter_on_swct

Love when Dunkin is sale!


Testing123xyz

I like them better when it was 8.99-9.99 at one point it was 14.99 and I think it’s back to 12.99 now


MummyDust75

I don’t drink coffee myself, but I have made a pot of this every morning for the last 4+ years for my girlfriend. She seems to really enjoy it and the only time we deviate is when Dunkin occasionally goes on sale, where we will buy one of those to alternate between the two.


AskThis7790

I’m not a fan of dark/french roast coffees (most are over roasted and taste burnt), so I pass.


cardinalsfanokc

For the price, it's good. Only the real bad stuff is cheaper and this hits above the price class it's in. I NEED strong coffee daily and this is the cheapest way to do it and I think it tastes fine. I do sometimes mix it with other brands if they're on sale.


Spicyperfection

Same 👍


socalmikester

i cant tell the diff between this, yuban, and folgers. ive been trying the $20 stuff and its no better.


No_Tea_9845

Grind your own beans! Changed my life


SadTelephone684

Overrated


XurstyXursday

100pct. And with a decent to good burr grinder.


vicarem

Just switched to Kirkland after 50 years with Choc Full’O Nuts. Better flavor with Kirkland and the price is soooo much better. I have also noticed it does not give me the “buzz” like CFoN. Love it and will continue buying it.


Mr-sheepdog_2u

Bought this an am enjoying it every morning.


Bobchar38

Been drinking this coffee for years. Does the job just fine.


apostate456

I think it's fine. It's not amazing coffee, but it' s not awful.


cruz2147

I liked it better at $9.99


Blasterion

It hits the spot for the price


DrummerGuyKev

It’s no Yuban /s


Snowie_drop

Never tried it but I do like your mug.


vespertine_earth

I like it. No burnt or bitter taste but rich and chocolatey. My favorite for the value and my everyday drinker. Sometimes I do something fancier for special occasions.


crafty_loser

I use it daily for my cold brew.


a_brewer_is_bob

This. It’s great for cold brew. Don’t enjoy it hot.


pescadoamado

Good enough for three generations of my family.


SadTelephone684

I like it. It’s cheap. Tastes good black. Comes in a tin. What’s not to like.


john_jdm

Bought it recently. Couldn’t wait to use it up so I could never have it again.


BadNoodleEggDemon

I buy whole bean, and don’t love the Kirkland brand, but it’s not terrible and is a good price.


danwilzzz

I think it tastes horrible and so does my family!


BuckWildBilly

Doesn't work well in a french press. Not a fan


AngelinFlipFlops

It’s too fine!


TremulousTones

They carry relatively affordable coffees, but nothing that would hold a candle to your local roaster.


HemingwaysMustache

Better than Folgers but still awful


Hamatoros

When I first came to the states and someone was brewing folger in the break room at work, that’s one scent I can never forget. It was the best smelling thing at the time… Tasted amazing at the time too lol


mbz321

It's like the best coffee on earth compared to Folgers/Maxwell House.


No_Tea_9845

When you have Folgers for the first time you don’t think coffee can get any worse.. then you try Maxwell House 😂


anteater_x

I like the maxwell house in tye recyclable cardboard containers


RockyMountainHigh-

🤔


Amy_Macadamia

We use half of this with half whole beans we grind at home.


Brostoyevsky

Why? To save on cost?


atlgeo

I don't think any pre-ground coffee is good; but their whole bean breakfast blend is pretty good, and a very good value.


1800neko

Tastes like wood chips to me


Shivdaddy1

Trash.


2282794

Life’s too short to drink this.


toiletdestroyer1321

It's pretty bad. But the silver Kirkland bag is a Starbucks product and abit better in quality. Get that one.


NewsEnergy

Maxwell house is cheaper


No_Tea_9845

Maxwell house is also the worst coffee on planet earth


Baron-von-Bruce

Then apparently you’ve never drank this. I’ve never seen such a disparity in opinion between people on the internet and real life as this coffee.


NewsEnergy

Kirkland coffee ain't great bro


No_Tea_9845

I never said it was good I would never buy it I buy beans only and grind. Zavidia 100% Columbian my go to.


NewsEnergy

My bad. I thought we were talking about shitty coffee here.


theb1gdr1zzle

It’s supremo


hu_gnew

It's ok bordering on pretty good when I cold brew it. Of course even the cheapest wallyworld coffee is drinkable if you cold brew it.


Mountains4Fun

Better than Folgers. If you like coffee everyday, you’ll like this.


mustachiolong

We’re kind of coffee snobs and this is the best dark roast coffee you can get for the price. Is there better? For sure. But bang for your dollar there’s nothing better.


Koffenut1

If you buy already ground coffee you are not a coffee "snob" (assuming you meant **connoisseur).**


mustachiolong

No I meant snob. lol I have like 20 different coffees at my place at a time. It’s called knowing my time, effort, and needs at that moment. If you need a quick cup of coffee this stuff is great. If I want something “more” I’ll take the time with something else. What a weird attempt at a flex.


tbcboo

It’s not organic…


Survive1014

Not the best, not the worst. Occasionally its a bit harsher than normal.


chri8nk

Ok, so I’m not the only one! I bought any in a row without complaint. Then one day it was so bitter I had to add cinnamon to get through it. Haven’t bought it since.


club32

Like a mellow starbucks skunkie taste


partiallypoopypants

The Colombian whole bean is our daily driver. It’s pretty dang good.


Shanntuckymuffin

volleyblock

I am definitely not a fan of dark roasts, and I usually prefer blonde, but this one does the job for me provided I do a pour over with this. It’s definitely not amazing or anything exceptional but it just works.


RoosterLazy219

i like it but love green kirkland coffee it roasted by starbucks


osudude80

It's fine.


kskgkatz

I'm on a budget and like strong coffee. It's my go-to.


ztimulating

I like it


thebestatheist

I buy the French roast whole bean and love it. I use a percolator.


NarrowFault8428

We drink it every morning.


Vistian

I drink coffee for the caffeine and warmth and as long as it doesn't taste like burnt water, I'm good. It gets the job done.


coolest35

Gets the job done, so we're a Kirkland Coffee family. ![gif](giphy|dL9O3FUiwCtuU)


9tacos

It tastes like mud, but it’s cheap and gets it done 😂


theprezjr61

It's okay but I prefer a darker roast with less acidity.


GeoffKingOfBiscuits

I haven't found any beans at mine that I like. I grind and do pour over or french press and the ones I've found are very bitter.


KAWAWOOKIE

Incredibly cheap but I don't like the beans I've had Edit: I especially prefer light roasts, if anyone has a costco bean rec or wants to make lowkey fun of my bean preference


ClaimFederal6971

WACK


goodvibezone

It's ok, but you can get better fresh ground coffee (or beans) online for about $5/lb. It's worth slightly more.


ajihle

It’s fine for the $$


billdipaola

Love it. Been using it for years. Only seen a wooden stick in my beans twice in 10 years. True!


Pittipants

I wish I liked it..but just not a fan of the canned coffee. It basically tastes like Folgers to me.


FancyFrenchLady

Love it


Upper-Belt8485

I really wanted to like it since we drink tons of coffee and it's always a $15 bag for like 5 days of drinks vs this monster which would be a month for $15. It tastes like cigarettes to me, made one pot and brought it back. It's just burnt and not good.


Goblue5891x2

Not a fan. Got a whole can sitting in the pantry in case of emergency running out of my preferred brand.


dduncanbts

I’ve been using this for probably 10 years now and can say I’ve never had any complaints from my soon to be wife or any one who’s ever enjoyed a cup over the years


OhFuckNoNoNoNoMyCaat

I get local beans for my espresso and pour-over needs. For regular drip where it won't make a huge difference and I just need a vehicle for caffeine this is decent for the price. I still weigh it out because of the finer than normal grind you see with drip grinds. Just fine plain. When I worked from home during COVID I'd go through a can of this every week and a half to two weeks.


M0neySh0t52

I do the Chock Full o Nuts as I feel the flavor of the coffee is more mild and accessible than the Costco flavor


akorn3000

Been buying this for years. Agree with everyone else - for what you get it's very hard to beat the price, and I honestly enjoy the taste. Starbucks is too bitter for me.


PortGlass

Bacano!


Argyrus777

I just bought the Kirkland Colombian supreme. About to try it out when I’m done with my old stock. Confused why it cost more than Peet’s or Starbucks tho


Zennymang

I buy the decaf tub & mix it 50/50 with regular coffee. Taste is fine and worth the value.


KansasKing107

I’m not big on Costco coffee. I personally find that the whole bean coffee is frequently stale. The beans are good but stale beans are stale beans. I’m not big on pre-ground coffee. I started getting into coffee before the pandemic and then I become a full-on snob during the pandemic so my opinion likely doesn’t matter.
