San Francisco Bay Coffee - Medium-Dark Roast Whole Bean Coffee - Fog Chaser (2 lb bag)

So I’m developing into a little bit of a coffee snob. I’ve gone more to darker roast coffees that enhance flavor, aroma, and taste. I even bought a Techivorm coffee maker that brews coffee at the perfect temperature to deliver those profiles. Get the beans and grind daily. You get the best results of the coffee flavors that way. I used to buy from a small coffee distributor called Weaver that had excellent coffees. But retirement and cost made me have to seek lessor expensive coffee bean alternatives. I read up on this San Francisco Bay Medium-Dark Fog Chaser bean. I decided to try a 2 lb bag. I received it a couple days ago. I anticipated what was I gonna get from this bean. To my delight and surprise it hit on all my taste buds! The flavor is robust and smooth, but not overpowering. I have always liked a little creamer in my coffee to take away the bitter taste, but this kept the coffee flavor present. This is a good coffee! I’ll buy it again. It’s a great alternative to some other high priced coffee beans and still get what you want…great coffee flavors and taste. Enjoy it! I did.

Please let me start by reassuring you that this is a rare moment as I'm not one to normally write reviews. I'm also not being paid for this review. I'm simply in love with this coffee. As I sit here in what everyone is referring to as the "storm of the century", I reached over to take another sip of coffee and had a strong moment of reflection on how damn good this coffee truly is. The moment the mug drew near, my nose picked up such a beautiful aroma of mocha and it has such a wonderful nutty mocha flavor that is always soft and smooth without a hint of bitterness. I have been consistently purchasing Fog Chaser every since I discovered it here on Amazon almost 2 years ago. I am, dare I say, more committed to this coffee than any man or job I've ever had. I find the price reasonable for a 2lb bag, but I was beyond titillated for the Black Friday deal and bought 4 bags! As a former Barista and lifelong coffee lover, my sincere appreciation to you, San Francisco Bay coffee. You’ve officially set the bar, and my mornings, very high.

The whole beans in this San Francisco Bay Fog Chaser bag of coffee are dark, glossy, and whole. They brew up to a smooth cup of dark coffee. I expected a little more of a bite for a dark roast -- I like a hint of bitterness -- but I know that smoothness may be a plus for some people. It does seem to have a little more caffeine than Peet's Major Dickinson. Again, that's for better or worse. This 2-pound bag is a good value. You get a lot of quality beans.

This is the second time I've chosen to buy HAZELNUT CREME coffee beans. No tasting date. When I opened the package, a wonderful aroma wafted out, and the beans were sparkling and incredibly fresh. Although there's no tasting date, I don't care; as long as the beans are fresh, I'm very satisfied.

Excellent bold, rich coffee. I’ve been drinking SF Bay’s “Fog Chaser” for many years. One day, it wasn’t available and so I tried this. Equally delicious coffee. I wouldn’t hesitate to try any of San Francisco Bay’s coffees. Very good and well priced.

This out of all the coffee I’ve tried is the best. No bitterness, great depth of flavor . Very nice roast

The coffee is great but not for the price they have. I can buy at the grocery store for $10 cheaper.

A favorite - just right not too acidic and full of flavor

Magnífico café. Tostado oscuro, con cuerpo y personalidad. El aroma es irreal, delicioso. Es un café para conocedores, no como las blandeces de tostado débil que toman los millenials ahora. Este café tiene toques de chocolate y cereza. No es ácido. Recién molido es de verdad, increíble. Lo preparo en AeroPress, prensa francesa, V90 y mocca. En cada caso es maravilloso. Si lo vas a echar a perder poniéndole leche y dulce, mejor toma Dolca. JAJAJA Altamente recomendado.

Did not quite like it. It tastes light.

I like dark and bitter, this is close to my favorite French roast. However my other half says it tastes burnt. So different taste bud different perception. Will check out this brand's other flavors but keep this one in my future purchase list.

no me gusto para nada muy acido, no lo compraria de nuevo

Slightly burnt taste, but not bad value for money. Just wish it had a fresher aroma than what I perceive as something similar to Starnuckd pikes peak. It tastes and smells better when mixed 50% w Lavazza red bag in the grinder.
