Great Flavor for pre-ground coffee.
After traveling to the Netherlands and drinking Douwe Egberts coffee in just about every restaurant I decided to try to get some DE Coffee in the US. It's not very easy to find! I prefer a whole bean coffee for the freshest taste, but this pre-ground is hard to beat. Distinct flavor and the medium blend is the perfect match of a smooth drink and a bold flavor.

Douwe Egbert Coffee
At my local Yacht Club the Douwe Egbert coffee they serve is probably the best coffee I have ever had. The coffee I ordered on-line is almost the worst coffee I have ever had. There is absolutely no comparison between the Yacht Club Douwe Egbert and the on-line ordered Douwe Egbert. If Douwe Egbert wants to sell more coffee, they are going to have to give it the same...

BEST THERE IS. . .hands down!, September 15, 2006
This review is from: Douwe Egberts Ground Coffee - Medium Roast (8.8 ounce) (Misc.)
Do you remember that old commercial from the 1970's that was later spoofed in the movie "Airplane?" A couple has just finished dinner when their host offers the visiting husband a second cup of coffee. When he happily accepts, his wife gets a concerned look on her face and thinks, "Jim never has a second cup at home," suggesting that the coffee she makes in her own kitchen must taste like swamp water.
Well, Jim and I had that in common. I NEVER had a second cup of coffee. Don't get me wrong - I LOVE coffee, but unless I was cramming for a mid-term at 3:00am in college, I'd never found a cup that was good enough to warrant more. But that all changed when I discovered Douwe Egberts.
I'm probably the only person here who isn't Dutch and hasn't had this coffee in the Netherlands. In fact, my first experience with Douwe Egberts was in Las Vegas - I just didn't know what it was called.
I LOVE Las Vegas and make the trek 3-4 times a year. For the past few years I've stayed at the Paris Hotel and had breakfast/lunch in their buffet (Lunch is served at 11, so if you get there at 10:30, you can have their amazing breakfast AND lunch for the price of breakfast!) The coffee was the best I'd ever had - no kidding. I'd have cup after cup and couldn't get enough! I'd be more hyped-up and jittery than a washer on spin-cyle, but I didn't care - the coffee was THAT good! After several trips and regardless of the hotel, it got to be that I'd HAVE to make it over to the Paris - JUST FOR THEIR COFFEE. But every time I'd ask the server what kind it was, they'd never tell me. Then one trip I found a server who was from my home town. After schmoozing her for a while, I finally got her to give it up. She went in the back and returned with the name scrawled out on a meal ticket. Yes, it was this nectar from the gods, Douwe Egberts! Perfectly blended and roasted, I promise you won't find a better cup of coffee - even in Seattle. It is a bit pricey (I get this same package at a local Dutch store for $6.20), but if you think about what you pay for a "gourmet" cup of coffee at the corner Starbucks, this is a bargain.
Take my word for it. Splurge a little and see if you don't agree with me. Or if you want to just try a single cup before you blow the whole $8 on a half pound, you can always fly to Vegas and get some from the Paris buffet which I also highly recommend, but we'll save that for another review.

The Best there is, January 18, 2004
This review is from: Douwe Egberts Ground Coffee - Medium Roast (8.8 ounce) (Misc.)
As a resident of the Netherlands, it was funny to find 'our' national drink on an american site. How wonderful for you people that you have been given the oppertunity to tast Hollands Best Coffee. It let you see that there is more to Holland than Cheeses, wooden shoes, tullips and windmills. Yes, there is also coffee. Try dunkin'a bisquit in it preferably a 'speculaasje'

BEST COFFEE EVER, March 9, 2005
This review is from: Douwe Egberts Ground Coffee - Medium Roast (8.8 ounce) (Misc.)
For coffee that is SIMULTANEOUSLY smooth AND rich,
nothing beats DE Aroma Rood.
Especially yummy if you take it with cream & sugar.
A treat with a stroopwafel (round Dutch buttery waffel cookie filled with caramel) warmed up atop the rim of the cup from the steam eminating from the filled coffee cup. (typical Dutch way to enjoy the 2 together)
IMHO Best Tasting Coffee in the world.
Lekker koffie, eh ?

Better than Starbucks, September 28, 2006
This review is from: Douwe Egberts Ground Coffee - Medium Roast (8.8 ounce) (Misc.)
Just like the first reviewer, I also first tried Douwe Egbert coffee at the Paris hotel in Las Vegas. I love coffee but as soon as I tasted this, I knew it was something special! My boyfriend and I asked the server what kind of coffee it was but he said he couldn't pronounce it. We found out from the bartender. This is the smoothest, tastiest coffee I've ever had; it's hard to describe it exactly; you just have to try it!

Douwe Egbert Coffee, May 16, 2009
This review is from: Douwe Egberts Ground Coffee - Medium Roast (8.8 ounce) (Misc.)

There is absolutely no comparison between the Yacht Club Douwe Egbert and the on-line ordered Douwe Egbert. If Douwe Egbert wants to sell more coffee, they are going to have to give it the same taste as what I get at the Yacht Club.

Supberb!, June 15, 2008
This review is from: Douwe Egberts Ground Coffee - Medium Roast (8.8 ounce) (Misc.)
Have been a coffee drinker for 40 years. Douwe Egberts coffee with its gourmet flavor and aroma is a treat for the senses. Shop Froogle for substantial savings.

Medium Roast Coffee, not over burned beans!, June 14, 2008
This review is from: Douwe Egberts Ground Coffee - Medium Roast (8.8 ounce) (Misc.)
Have to say up front. the shipping cost was about $50 (yes $fifty dollars) So I won't be able to afford this again. However, it was Heavenly, delicious, aromatic, wonderful. It's great to find a good quality coffee in a MEDIUM roast. Most coffees, and coffee shop stores overcook and burn their beans. Some people like that.
This is a perfectly moderately roasted coffee, as is the de-caffeinated medium roast.
glad I bought it. Pricy, but this is a luxury as it is so rare to find this quality of taste.

Terrific Cup of Coffee, April 20, 2008
This review is from: Douwe Egberts Ground Coffee - Medium Roast (8.8 ounce) (Misc.)
This coffee was first found while staying at a Wingate hotel and if a coffee can be characterized as a "Vintage", it earns it very well.

The real deal, January 12, 2008
This review is from: Douwe Egberts Ground Coffee - Medium Roast (8.8 ounce) (Misc.)
How many times have you gone to a nice restaurant and had coffee that just
made you sit up and take notice?
My Wife and I eat Breakfast out, Sundays and are served DE's.
I finally had to ask the waitress what brand was used as we haven't had this good a cup of coffee in along time.
There is an absence of bitterness and a smoothness that is hard to describe.
I've placed my second order and this time it's for more than one bag.
