McCullagh Coffee 100% Arabica Premium Ground Medium Roast Coffee

Very convenient

This is excellent, mild, arabica coffee from the importer/roaster (McCullagh Coffee Roasters in Buffalo, NY). I've ordered this for our household for over 10 years, and there has always been a date code on the inside cartons indicating that it was roasted and packed a few days before they shipped it to me. Fresh! The online description "63 packs, 2 boxes" is a bit confused. What you actually get are two boxes of 63 packs each, or 126 packs total, shipped in an outer box. I weighed the packets and found them each to contain precisely and consistently 1.5 ounces. So that's 126 times 1.5 ounces, or 11.8 pounds of coffee you're getting. At today's price including shipping, that works out to about $4.50 per pound. With my yield calculations (see below), this works out to EIGHT CENTS per 8-ounce mug. So this is a great bargain for good fresh coffee itself, so much the better that it is individual packs. Really, you could brew a fresh pot, pour yourself one big mug for the road, and throw the rest out, and it would still cost you only forty cents. Take that, you Keurig snobs! The individual packs are vapor-barrier type (metallized mylar) which keeps the ground product fresh for months. It takes our household about 3 months for us to use 126 packs, and it seems just as fresh at the end of that time as when it first arrived. This solves the biggest problem of buying bulk coffee, that as soon as you open a package, it goes stale within hours, but with these sealed portion packets you don't have that problem. You can have this economy and convenience for your one-pot/day household that takes months to finish a shipment, not just an office that burns through pot after pot every day. If you're buying 12-ounce bags of coffee at the grocery store, this one batch is going to save you the chore of 16 shopping trips. And they deliver it! Note: these are 1.5 ounce packets which is *not enough* for a 12-cup (64 ounce) Bunn pot (or Mr Coffee carafe)! So you have to brew a smaller amount for a proper strength! Just don't fill a Bunn pot all the way! We use 40 ounces of water per packet in a Mr Coffee type drip maker. Thus we start with filling to the 8 "cups" on the carafe scale, because coffee maker "cups" are 5 ounces of water, not 8-ounce cups, to get 40 ounces of water. Comes out perfect moderately-strong. If you want a full Bunn pot, then you'll need to add maybe a third of a packet to one full packet. Now coffee snobs are going to dislike something that isn't precious, but if you want fresh, basic, mild American-style coffee, this is it. Having a long-lived pre-portioned bulk supply, delivered, that keeps for months, is a great bonus and convenience.

Great flavor, individual packages are just the right amount.

Great coffee

This is NOT bad coffee, this tastes O.K. The BEST was from, well, I`m not allowed to advertise for someone else. NOW THAT WAS SOME FANTASTIC COFFEE. I will NEVER enjoy,coffee like I did with X company. The only reason I`m not buying THEIR coffee is because, it was ALWAYS sold out. This coffee is easy to use. Good strength. Good value for my money, but just OK.

great handy packs Great convenient packs no fuss!

Easy to use packaging and a mild taste.

Awful! Every single one is open. Coffee everywhere.
