Overview
Brooklyn Coffee sells this Italian dark roast as a 5 pound bag of whole beans, roasted weekly in NYC. It is sized for households that go through a lot of coffee and grind their own rather than buying small bags repeatedly.
- 5 lb whole bean bag
- Italian dark roast
- Roasted weekly in NYC
- Described as strong and smooth by most reviewers
Who it's for
Works well for heavy coffee drinkers or multi-person households who grind their own beans and want a strong roast at a lower cost per ounce. Not the pick for someone who wants to test a small bag first or who dislikes a heavily roasted, smoky edge.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Most reviewers called this a strong, smooth dark roast and pointed to the price, working out to roughly 52 cents an ounce, as a reason to keep reordering, with several saying it is now their go-to. One reviewer disagreed, describing it as rather dull and over-roasted with a slightly burnt taste closer to a French roast than a clean Italian dark, and rating it lower across several brew methods they tried.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 5 lb bag lowers cost per ounce for regular drinkers
- Roasted weekly in NYC for freshness
- Reviewers describe it as smooth and strong
- Works across drip, espresso and press per reviewer use
- One reviewer found it dull and over-roasted with a burnt edge
- Packaging can vary from the listing photo
Performance notes
Roasting in small batches weekly rather than sitting on inventory is the stated reason for the fresher aroma reviewers describe, and the Italian dark roast level is built for a bold, strong cup rather than bright acidity.
