Tim Hortons Whole Bean Original, Medium Roast Coffee, Made with 100% Arabica Beans, 32 Ounce Bag

Excellent coffee. Not too strong or bitter, smooth no strong aftertaste. A little expensive.

Consumer reports had this as a top coffee to buy, it is very good not bitter.

I started ordering because I wanted a Canadian product. Now I get because it's DELICIOUS! Full-bodied, never bitter, super smooth. I use it to make espresso and it's great in my Capresso machine and AMAZING in my Moka coffee maker. Hope it remains available. Elbows up!

I've seen a few other reviews that referred to this Tim Horton's coffee as a "good old fashioned coffee." I think that's a pretty good way of putting it and here's what I mean by that. In days gone by you could purchase any of several big name brand coffees at your local grocer and be greeted with a great roasted coffee aroma upon opening and a very agreeable medium body medium acid coffee in the cup after brewing. Those days are gone for a decade or two now, but if you know what I'm talking about from those days and want to experience them again, this coffee from Tim Horton's is the way to do it. This was my first order of this coffee. I turned to it because I needed something not very expensive to tide me over until my next regular five pound subscribe and save order ships a few weeks from now. I purchased this based on the reviews but honestly wasn't expecting this coffee to be anything more than passable. Well, it is more than passable. It is in fact quite good. Upon opening the bag I found beans of good quality, in good condition and of uniform size and roast. The roast level is what I'd call a City+ to Full City roast, meaning that the coffee has an evenly roasted appearance that is a medium brown, not at all a dark roast, and that a lot of the fruity character of the original varietal remains. (At Full City+ and higher levels, coffees are darker, sugars are beginning to really caramelize to the point that there is some degree of bitterness and oils begin to develop on the bean surface. None of that is the case here.) I ground a portion of beans right after opening and pulled an espresso for sampling. (For those that don't know, espresso doesn't refer to a dark roasted coffee but instead is a method of extraction where a measured amount of water at a controlled temperature is passed through finely ground coffee under pressure. Any coffee can be used to prepare an espresso.) The initial shot I pulled was spot on with good crema. On tasting there was a great "old fashioned" coffee flavor with nice body and medium low acidity. Just delicious really. I've also sampled this coffee with a drip grind in a pour-over drip coffee maker. Again, just a really nice cuppa. If you've had the (all too rare) experience of a really nice fresh cup in a restaurant at breakfast or after dinner, this coffee will remind you of that experience. All in all color me impressed when I didn't expect to be impressed. Great value for a really good coffee. Wish I could make it four and half stars but since I can't, take me word that it's a four plus star coffee at the price. I don't hesitate to recommended it for anyone looking for that "good old fashioned" coffee roast, aroma and flavor. Very nice. On edit (January 7th, 2013): The first time I ordered this coffee was because I needed something to tide me over while waiting for my next regular five pound subscribe and save order to ship. The highest praise I can give a product is to order it again. I've just ordered this Tim Hortons coffee again. And this time I ordered it not because I needed to take a chance on something to tide me over. I ordered it because having tried it, I wanted more.

Great coffee and used for years Then greed set in with a 25% price increase so I changed brands.

It’s Tim Horton’s coffee. Of COURSE it’s good! There are two secrets to brewing great coffee: 1) Beans begin to oxidize the moment they are ground. Always grind exactly as many as you are going to use in the next hour. This will ensure that you get the most, and best, flavor from the beginning of the bag to the end. 2) The most important flavors in coffee are carried in the oils. Coffee oil which sits for any length of time turns rancid. This makes the old oils on the surface of your machine bitter. If you don’t remove them, they will ruin the next batch of coffee. (In other words, rinse every metal and plastic surface which comes in contact with coffee - in Hot, Running water - between each use of the machine. If that sounds like a lot of work, let me assure you that it’s worth the effort! Your family and friends will soon be asking why your coffee is so much better than everyone else’s. If you want to take this to the next level, add three shakes of cinnamon, and half a shake of nutmeg, just before brewing.) Tim Horton’s whole bean coffee is a great place to start. Enjoy!

This coffee is bold and delicious and on par with Dunkin coffee for sure. I keep the beans in the refrigerator and grind a bag at a time for use. The aroma is breathtaking and taste is wonderful.

I love Coffee and this is the best tasting brand I have ever had. I can see why Canada is in love with it. Goodbye overpriced Starbucks this is what eveyday Coffee should taste like. I can highly recomend this, so give it a try you will be singing "Oh Canada" too. By the way the PRICE is awesome and you get more for the money you pay.
