Amazon Fresh Direct Trade Nicaragua Ground Coffee, Medium Roast, 12 Ounce (Pack of 3)

I was genuinely surprised by how good this Amazon Basics Colombian ground coffee turned out to be. It brews up smooth with a slightly rich, bitter finish that gives it a nice depth, especially considering the price. I’m using a cheap $20 Mr. Coffee drip machine, and it still comes out grea, so I can only imagine how much better it would taste on a higher-end setup.The aroma is fantastic, both from the bag and in the cup, with a darker, full-bodied scent that really hits when you bring it to your lips. I've tried a lot of budget coffees, and this one easily stands out as one of the best values. Definitely something I’ll keep buying, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for solid coffee without breaking the bank.

Hubby was looking for a new source of Vanilla Flavored Coffee when our local store stopped carrying theirs- and I bought him this and he let me know he was pleased with it! Will want to keep it on our list once I know what pace he is using it at.

Great‑price daily brew that punches above its budget beansPicked up this 2‑lb bag of Amazon Fresh Colombia to replace the pricier boutique roasts draining my grocery budget. I brew a full pot every morning in a drip machine and occasionally run a pour‑over on weekends.### What hits the spot* **Smooth, medium‑bodied cup.** Notes of mild cocoa and a little dried‑berry sweetness—no burnt aftertaste.* **Consistent grind size.** Works straight out of the bag in a standard paper filter; no sludge in the carafe.* **Wallet‑friendly.** Runs roughly half the cost per ounce of my local roaster’s Colombian beans.* **Rainforest Alliance certified.** Nice to see an eco label on a store‑brand option.### Where it falls short* **Non‑resealable packaging.** Once you cut it open it’s wide‑mouth to the world—transferred to an airtight canister to keep it fresh.* **Lighter than some “mediums.”** Dark‑roast fans may find it too gentle; I bump the scoop count by one for a stronger cup.* **Aromatics fade after two weeks.** Flavor stays fine, but the just‑opened scent diminishes quickly without solid storage.### Real‑world impact* **Budget win.** Saved about \$12/month compared with my former brand while still enjoying a genuinely good cup.* **Office crowd pleaser.** Colleagues who normally drown coffee in creamer drink this one black.### Hacks & tweaks* **Vacuum canister or Mason jar** after opening = fresher aroma to the last scoop.* **French press brew** at a 1:14 ratio intensifies body for those who like more oomph.### Who it’s for* Daily coffee drinkers who want quality Arabica without boutique pricing.* Households that go through grounds quickly and appreciate the bigger 32‑oz bag.* Anyone easing into medium roasts from lighter breakfast blends.### VerdictKeep and reorder. The flavor‑to‑cost ratio makes this my new default pantry coffee. Just plan on transferring it to a sealed container and upping the dose if you favor a bolder brew.

This is fantastic coffee. We have been buying this on a subscription service for a couple of years and it is consistently delicious, robust, and smooth. My husband is from Colombia so he enjoys coffee from his country and I have always drunk Colombian coffee. This Amazon Fresh coffee is terrific.

This coffee is my favorite! I can't find anything in my local grocery stores that even compare. It's a medium roast which is perfect. It's very smooth.

This is a light roast. It is aromatic but lacks flavor and the caffeine content is disappointingly low. I found myself using a few more scoops than usual trying to get a good cup from it. Won’t buy again.

I really like this coffee for my cold brew coffee maker. It is a full flavored coffee that is so smooth as a cold brew. The price is economical for such a good quality coffee.

I bought three bags of this coffee, and two of them arrived with slight tears which resulted in coffee grounds inside of the shipping box. The tears were small, so after brewing a pot to determine whether the coffee was still fresh (it was, see below), I removed the rest of the coffee from the two torn bags and vacuum-sealed their contents.The coffee was excellent...great aroma, well-balanced acidity, no bitterness (hooray!), and a long aftertaste. Highly recommended if you prefer lighter roasts. And unlike the Amazon Columbian coffee that's labeled as medium roast but in reality is closer to dark, this coffee is indeed a light roast.I noticed in the reviews that others have also complained about torn bags. I actually wonder whether the packaging robots are the cause, versus the bags themselves being substandard. Either way, I hope the issue gets fixed before I place another order.
