This is some of the best coffee I have ever had. Short of sitting in a Costa Rican resturaunt and having each cup of coffee made right before your eyes, I would suggest buying a bag of these beans. My family has brought this coffee back with us from Costa Rica when opportunity permits, and now I am very excited that it is available online. Once you have tried this coffee you will understand how coffee was meant to be consumed.

I love the texture of the coffee. There is no bitterness and it is very smooth - to where I didn't need cream to cut the flavor. I am usually not a coffee drinker but a friend told me that this is one of the best she ever had. This was intended to be a christmas gift for her but out of curiosity I bought one for myself to include with the 7 bags for her. I now know the difference! Believe me, I had thought that instant tasted way better then "real" coffee until a I had a cup of this java. I was almost tempted not to give the rest of the coffee away.

Also, the shipment was very fast! I had ordered this with other items (books and DVDs). The coffee came in within the week but the other items didn't come in at all. Infact every time I checked the progress, amazon kept pushing the items further away in the shipment date. I couldn't understand this at all! I had to cancel the rest of the order and buy the items elsewhere. Go figure.

Having visited Costa Rica in 2006; I purchased several types of coffee. I found this in a grocery store in San Jose. It was only when I got home I found that it was the best tasting of all the coffies I purched. I could not find it here in Chicago but went on line to several other sites and found it however the prices were a bit extreme. As usual, I went back to Amazon and found the Britt Coffee, it tastes just awesome. It's worth the trip back (twisting mountains and all) just to purchase this one but I think I'll let Amazon do the shopping for me!

I was staying at a friends and found this in their kitchen, not knowing what it was. When another visiting coffee drinker like myself awoke and we tried the resulting brew we looked at each other and said, "What IS this stuff!"

I've ordered it from their website (they do like to spam you if you GIVE them your email... hello), but I find amazon more convenient because I order from here a fair bit.

A couple of years ago I was making coffee for a Costa Rican friend, and I was going to offer him something else when he saw that I had some dark roast Cafe Britt and stopped me, asking why I was holding out on him. I'd thought he'd be not so interested in coffee from his own country, but he said it was his favourite and the best coffee out there. Not only that but people from Costa Rica, when they buy Cafe Britt, very sadly can not get the stuff we get abroad because it's of a higher quality set aside for export. I feel a little bad about that, but I still like the coffee.

I have been getting this coffee for 3 years, ever since we were in Costa Rica. It is the best. We have tried others but always come back to this one. We order it directly from Cafe Britt. Try it and enjoy!!!

I first tasted this in Costa Rica. It's strong and smoooth. Great coffee and I'm pleased it is available from this website.

My wife and I honeymooned in Costa Rica back in 2005 and we loved the coffee we were served; it is robust and well rounded and low acid so it doesn't upset my stomach after two or three full cups. We have been buying this coffee ever since and I have trouble drinking any other brand; even Dunkin Donuts blend is anemic next to this coffee. I think the Poas blend is the best coffee in the Britt line, but we often mix some Dark Roast or Espresso with it to jack it up when necessary. The 11 for 10 bag deal on their site is a bargain. This is great coffee, day in and day out. You will likely enjoy it as much as we do.

I ordered two types of coffee from Cafe Britt. Although the coffee was good, I have been hammered with their never-ending email spam campaign. I've "unsubscribed" from their emails three separate times with no avail. Buy your coffee somewhere else unless you love being spam-targeted for the rest of your life!
