Tweet The Bottom Line A list of my coffee bean reviews This is my list of Coffee beans I have reviewed. They are no longer putting them in order of preference because I feel a bit overwhelmed with other priorities. I have listed them here with the name, link, and rating. Palates change from person to person so I certainly do not expect everyone to agree with me, but I certainly hope this help give you a starting point of where to look. Feel free to leave comments of brews you think I should try and put on this list. I am always open to suggestions. And just so we are clear, a score of 3 is a good score. Gevalia limited edition Karoma Estate Coffee stars: 5 Looney_Bean_Organic_Nicaragua_Blend stars: 3 Looney_Bean_Organic_Mexican_Blend stars: 3 Looney_Bean_Columbia_Supremo_Huila stars: 4 Looney_Bean_Organic_El_Salvador stars: 3 Loony_Bean_Brazil_Cerrado_Blend stars: 2 Loony_Bean_Organic_Bolivia_Blend_Coffee stars: 4 Gevalia_Papua_New_Guinea_2010 stars: 3 Java_Delight_House_Blend stars: 3 Java_Delight_Whole_Bean_Colombia_Supremo stars: 3 Caribou_Coffee_2010_Perennial_Blend stars: 3 Zabars_Mocha_Style_Whole_Bean_Coffee stars: 3 Caribou_Coffee_Reindeer_Blend_2009 stars: 1 Caribou Coffee Guatemala El Socorro Stars: 5 Bottomline: An incredibly light coffee with wonderful notes of caramel. Absolutely wonderful, just don't add anything into it. Gevalia Columbia whole bean coffee stars: 4 Bottomline: A mild coffee with a mild floral note. Typical of the columbian coffee I have tried. Nothing bad with this one. Caribou coffee Colombia Timana Stars: 4 Bottomline: A good Columbian coffee that is neck and neck with Gevalia's Columbian. It just lacks some uniqueness. Zabars Columbia Blend Coffee stars: 4 Bottomline: A good cup of coffee just nothing surprising. I find this to be a typical and good cup for Columbian coffee beans. It is neck and neck with the Gevalia version. Caribou Coffee Obsidian Stars: 4 Bottomline: A good dark roasted coffee. I was very pleased with it. Gevalia Café Sperl Stars: 4 Bottomline: A very well done coffee, just nothing out of this world. Caribou coffee Perennial blend Stars: 4 Bottomline: A great warm tasting coffee that I recommend. Gevalia Signature Blend Stars: 4 Bottomline: A nicely balanced blend. Trader Joes 100% Kona Coffee: One of the better Kona Coffee’s out there Stars: 4 Bottomline: A good and smooth coffee but I was wishing for some more balanced character for the price I paid. Not worth the price in my opinion. But if you like good yet boring, and have the money for it then I say go for it. Gevalia traditional roast Stars: 4 Bottomline: A simple yet balanced brew. Caribou Coffee Mocha Java Blend Stars: 4 Bottomline: A nice little gem from Caribou, not perfect but something I'll buy again. Caribou Coffee Guatemala el Paraiso Stars: 4 Bottomline: A unique and pleasing coffee, but nothing to die for. 4/5 ain’t bad. Roast Master's reserve Loma Linda Stars: Bottomline: World Market Kauai Peaberry Roast stars: 4 Bottomline: A good bean for those that want a good cup that doesn’t over power the taste buds. Caribou coffee LaMinita Peaberry Stars: 4 Bottomline: Average composition but nothing bad. Zabars blend coffee stars: 3 Bottomline:One of Zabars better and more complex blends; and quality vs. price ratio is very good Caribou Coffee Kenya Stars: 3 Bottomline: A good middle of the road coffee Gevalia Rainforest Organic Select Varietal Coffee Stars: 3 Bottomline: A good coffee worth trying but just not Great. Gevalia Costa Rica Peaberry stars: 3 Bottomline: A good coffee with a bit of earthyness and chocolate flavor to it. Not over whelming for a coffee drinker. Not the best but a good choice if you are looking for variety. Gevalia French Roast stars: 3 Bottomline: If you like your coffee strong and robust, then this is the coffee for you. Nothing wrong with it, no bad after taste. A great bean roasted well but not too much. If you do not like bitterness then stay away. If you like mud for coffee, give this a spin because it will probably change your perspective of how dark coffee should be. Gevalia Mocca Java stars: 3 Bottomline: For Gevalia coffee, it is pretty pedestian. There is nothing wrong with this cup (typical of Gevalia), it is perfect in the sense of it being coffee. But it lacks complexity and character. Starbucks Colombian Narino Supremo Stars: 3 Bottomline:An acceptable colombian coffee if you don't have any other options. World Market Sumatra Medium Roast stars: 3 Bottomline: An average coffee for the average drinker. Zabars continental blend coffee stars: 3 Bottomline: No real character to it, just a good cup of coffee.. Starbucks Coffee Kenya stars: 3 Bottomline: A descent coffee for someone that likes a more earthy roast. It has a pleasant, yet bold taste. As far as complexity and character are concerned, it has none. Gevalia Antigua Coffee Stars: 3 Bottomline: A good coffee that is better when pair with food or someone that really likes acidic coffee's. Caribou Coffee Daybreak Morning Blend Stars: 3 Bottomline: A good coffee, just nothing unique or life altering. Indian Malabar Stars: 3 Bottomline: Half the caffeine with all of the taste. Trader Joe's Moka Java Coffee Stars: 3 Bottomline: Just an average coffee. Zabars French Vanilla Decaf Coffee stars: 3 Bottomline: An average flavored coffee that is perfect for everyday drinking.
