3.0 out of 5 stars Good coffee, but 26.3 ounces, not 32., May 18, 2010

This review is from: Cafe Altura Organic Coffee, Sumatran Dark Roast, Whole Bean, 32-Ounce Bag (Grocery)

This coffee was very good, being at least the equal of the best of the 7 different coffees I have tried thus far here from Amazon. It was very fresh, had excellent aroma, and produced a very nice brew in my French press. Upon receipt of the coffee I noticed that the bag was nowhere near full. I have had other coffees come in less-than-full bags, but this one seemed to be way off. Since I sell merchandise online myself, I have an accurate postal scale. The "2 pound" bag came in at almost 6 ounces less than a full 32, including the weight of the bag. From previous orders from Amazon, other coffees seem to be based on the "as delivered" weight, not on some sort of weight prior to roasting. The bag itself did not have a breather, so it is hard to imagine that almost 20% of the weight was lost in shipping. Don't know what happened here but the result is that I feel I payed almost 20% more for the beans than the advertised price. I am curious if others have noticed this from this company. I would like to think that I simply got a careless shipment and not a care-less policy.

I have long enjoyed Cafe Altura's dark roast coffees. They have a rich, bold flavor and the actual beans smell freshly roasted. Also, it is nice to have a fair-traded, organic coffee at this price.

Highly recommended

Really an outstanding coffee. Consistently good flavor from bag to bag. We have been enjoying this for over a year and have not been disappointed with the Sumatran Dark. The roast is optimal -- luscious and aromatic, like espresso, not over-roasted and burnt. Love the fact that it is organic and fair-trade also. The value is excellent, especially with Subscribe & Save.

I can't say the same of other varieties of Altura that I've tried; I've only been really pleased with the Sumatran, not others. Also, this coffee blows away competing (and much more expensive) offerings from Jeremiah's and Appassionato which lacked freshness and full flavor.

Truly a quality buy! Full 5 Stars - Highly recommend!
