Okay, coffee lovers, let’s talk Kirkland. As a blogger who practically bleeds coffee, I’m always on the lookout for that sweet spot: flavor that sings, a price that doesn’t sting, and a jolt that gets me going in the morning. So, when I saw that massive bag of Kirkland Signature 100% Colombian Coffee, I had to ask: Could this be my new go-to, or would it be a bulk-sized disappointment?
Let’s spill the beans on what I liked. First off, you can’t beat the price. Seriously, this stuff is a steal. Six pounds of coffee for that price? My wallet was already doing a happy dance. And when I ripped open the bag, that roasty aroma hit me like a ton of bricks – promising a bold, wake-you-up kind of brew. And it delivers! This is definitely a dark roast, no wimpy flavors here. Plus, bonus points for being Kosher certified; always good to see a brand catering to different needs.
But here’s the real kicker: it didn’t give me heartburn! I know, right? Game changer. I’ve had to ditch so many coffees because they turned my stomach into a raging inferno, but this one was surprisingly gentle. I actually found myself wanting a second cup – and that’s saying something.
Now, let’s keep it real. The description calls it an “interestingly flawed version,” and honestly, that’s pretty spot-on. While it’s a decent cup, it’s not exactly a symphony of flavors. You know how some fancy coffees have all these subtle notes, like chocolate and berries? Yeah, not so much here. It’s more of a straightforward, no-frills kind of taste.
And heads up: the grind is fine. Like, really fine. It worked like a charm in my drip machine, but if you’re a French press fanatic or a percolator pro, you might run into some bitterness. Just something to keep in mind.
I have to agree with Lora L. Mcfarland, who mentioned the price jump. Tariffs have definitely hit this coffee hard. I remember the good old days when you could snag two cans for around $44, but now you’re looking at close to $60. Ouch!
So, what’s the final verdict? Kirkland Signature 100% Colombian Coffee is a solid choice if you’re on a budget and love a dark, strong brew. It’s not going to win any awards for complexity, but it’s a reliable, everyday coffee that won’t break the bank. Just watch out for that fine grind! If you’re looking for a dependable coffee that gets the job done without emptying your bank account, give this one a shot.
My rating? A solid 4 out of 5 stars.
