2LB Don Pablo Gourmet Coffee – Signature Blend – Medium Dark Roast – Whole Bean Coffee – 100% Arabica Beans – Low Acidity and Non-GMO – 2lb bag

Don Pablo is one of the best coffees out there !!

As with the decaffeinated coffee from Burke Brands, this Signature Blend whole bean coffee is an instant hit!

Using 100% Arabica beans this S.Blend has the full aroma of roasted beans once the package is opened. The beans are not as dark as I saw with the decaf by Burke, more a medium roast. The blend is Columbia, Guatemala and Brazilian coffee. Tasting gives a full bodied, low acid flavour which to me is key. Once again, as I mentioned in previous reviews, I really am fond of the smaller “family run” small batch product such as this. The results speak for themselves. Value for the money is an added plus with Burke Brands LLC in that a gourmet level coffee is available at this price.

Es la segunda bolsa que pido, el cafe es muy fresco y polivalente porque sabe riquisimo en espresso, americano y capuccino.

Mis invitados incluso me han preguntado que si le pongo chocolate cuando les preparo capuccino. En lo personal yo lo consumo en americano o espresso y tiene muy pero muy poca acidez, buen cuerpo y sabor achocolatado y cero amargo.

Simplemente encantado con este buen cafe.

Admittedly, I have only ever used these coffee beans to make my cold brewed iced coffee, so I can’t attest to the experience when prepared hot. That being said, I originally tried this product because I was looking for decent priced coffee beans in bulk, and absolutely fell in love with the flavor.

I’m in law enforcement, so I drink coffee like it’s going out of style. I’m fickle about my coffee. I work 90+ hours a week, so coffee is basically breath to me. After partaking of the swill that ends up in the breakroom coffee pot, I reverted back to brewing my own at home, and with my multiple 16 hour shifts, cold brewing became my choice of brewing to have enough coffee to last me through my shifts.

But… cold brewing gets expensive. It takes more grounds to seep and cold brew coffee than it does to make a simple pot of coffee. I discovered Don Pablo when I was searching for bulk beans. I fell in love after the first shipment.

I’ve experienced a wide range of coffee styles. My Dad was a truck driver, I owned a restaurant, and I’ve worked for millionaire construction contractors. Three industries of “how’s the coffee?”. Don Pablo has been my go-to since I discovered it.

The packaging is superb. I typically order a 5-pound bag of roasted whole beans that typically lasts me almost 2 months. The resealable bag keeps the beans as oily and glossy from the first day I open it to the last. It’s all about the oils. If your beans are dry, you lost the game.

The flavor is robust, yet very smooth, not overpowering or bitter. I grind the medium roast. I prefer medium roast when I brew hot, but the Don Pablo medium-dark is perfect for my cold brew. It’s smooth, not brackish. I ran out of Don Pablo a while back. I bought a few bags of different roasts of beans from different stores, just to get by until my shipment arrived. The roasts I bought at the Box Stores were bland, dry, and had off-flavors. Now they’re just sitting in my coffee cabinet, waiting for me to unload them when a fair-weather friend comes to visit and I can get rid of those subpar beans.

I probably wouldn’t write such an intricate review if it weren’t for that fact that I drink Don Pablo every day and it’s become a part of my day. Seven days a week. I cold-brew Don Pablo twice a week, to get me through a work week, that I drink over a 12-cup pot of it every day. I cold brew it, throw it over ice, and it’s robust enough to last through a 16-hour shift in my thermos and be as good to the last drop as it was from the first.

Love the coffee, a really great medium roast for cold brew but wow… the price increase in 3 months, up almost $5. Seems like whenever I start digging a coffee brand the price skyrockets after 3 or 4 orders. Hate to see you go, but the search continues. Bye, bye.

I first discovered the Don Pablo brand many years ago at a Sam’s Club store when my previously preferred brand was out of stock. Now, I’m pleased to see that it’s available on Amazon at a fair price. I must admit, Don knows very well how to grow, process and price coffee beans. I loved the Guatemala whole beans, but now he’s got me hooked on the Signature blend – well done Mr. Pablo!

In the six decades that I’ve been consuming coffee, I’ve had expensive, highly rated (by the professional tasters organization) whole bean coffees and Don Pablo coffee ranks right up there at the top of the list.

Oh, and I love reading the Don Pablo story on the back of the packages. Nice touch!

My absolute favorite. Love the smooth taste.
