Original Whole Bean

The thing about coffee is there seems to be a high degree of brand loyalty. Different brands taste pretty significantly different. People start out with a certain brand, learn to associate that aroma & taste with coffee. (I know that doesn't explain the horrid swill served up at Starbuck's, but what really would?) I've been drinking eight o'clock for half a century. It has a rich, mellow flavor and does the important work - waking me up. Coffee prices have gone through the roof for several reasons,none of them good. This is a very good price for a very good coffee.

I like to wait before leaving reviews so I can share a real long-term experience. I’ve been using the Eight O’Clock Coffee Whole Bean, The Original, 40 Oz 2-Pack regularly in my Bosch cappuccino maker and automatic drip machine for over a year, and it’s been excellent. • Flavor & Consistency: Smooth, rich, and never acidic in my experience. The taste is very consistent from batch to batch. • Versatility: Works wonderfully for espresso, cappuccino, and regular drip coffee — all with great results. • Quality: A reliable brand with decades of experience. The beans grind well and brew perfectly every time. • Value: 40oz 2-pack lasts a while, making it convenient and cost-effective for daily coffee drinkers. If you want a dependable, versatile, and flavorful coffee bean that works in multiple brewing methods, this is a great choice. Highly recommended.

The Eight O'Clock Coffee The Original Medium Roast in the 40-ounce whole bean bag is an absolute winner and a staple in my kitchen. This coffee delivers consistently excellent flavor that genuinely satisfies without breaking the bank. The medium roast is perfectly balanced—it's smooth, rich, and never bitter, making it a wonderful choice for a daily morning cup. It has a classic, straightforward coffee taste that holds up beautifully whether you drink it black or with cream and sugar. The aroma alone when you grind the beans is fantastic! What really seals the deal is the value. The price for this large 40-ounce bag is highly competitive and often similar to what you would find at major club stores, making it incredibly convenient to have delivered right to your door. For the combination of excellent taste and superb value, this is the best whole bean coffee deal around. If you appreciate a reliable, delicious medium roast, you won’t be disappointed. Pros: Tastes Great: Smooth, rich, and never bitter. Excellent Value: Competitively priced with club store pricing. Fresh Whole Bean: Allows for maximum flavor retention. Reliable Daily Drink: Consistently high quality.

It honestly breaks my heart to write this because I absolutely love this coffee. For the longest time, the Eight O'Clock Original was my daily driver. It is "The Original" for a reason—it’s a wonderful, flavorful, easy-drinking medium roast. Plus, being able to get it in whole bean meant I could always count on a fresh, fantastic cup of coffee to start my day. Before recently, it was easily the best option out there for both quality and value. ​Unfortunately, they completely jacked up the price. With the cost nearly doubling from what it used to be, it just isn't affordable for a daily routine anymore. I sadly had to cancel my subscription because of it. ​If budget isn't an issue for you, the coffee itself easily deserves five stars. But purely based on the price hike, I just can't justify it anymore. Five stars for the flavorful coffee minus one star for the price hike.

I use Eight O'clock Original Whole Bean for pour over. It produces a good cup of coffee that is consistent from bag to bag, cup to cup. I usually buy it at my local grocery store but decided to try ordering form Amazon for a better deal. Enjoying a cup now while I write this review. I was very pleased with how it was packaged, the 6 (18oz) bags were boxed from the parent company of Eight O'clock and that was packed in an Amazon box. Product arrived in excellent condition and the Best By date is 6 months out. Thank you Amazon

There are a few brands of coffee that I buy in general. They are all medium roast and what I drink 90% of the time. I'm not a coffee snob and as long as the coffee isn't too acidic, I'm generally happy. I find my taste buds acquire the taste of the current bag after a few days of a switch. This makes a completely fine daily cup of coffee. I find the whole beans more consistent so I usually order. One bag lasts me at least a month. I do use an espresso maker so that may affect my results but I don't get complaints anytime I serve this. I believe this is the best value in coffee beans that I purchase.

I’m a coffee connoisseur and love this product! I’ve been using it for many years and never have been disappointed. The beans always grind well and the flavor is always consistent. In my opinion it one of the best products out there. The product arrived quickly and it was super fresh. I have nothing but praise for this product. Buy a double pack which is a great bang for the buck as compared “other” places to purchase it at. 100% recommended.

We purchase the whole bean coffee. I purchased a high end coffee machine that ground the beans for each cup. We like our coffee with a stronger taste but not overly bold because this can cause bitterness. We tried over a dozen different coffee brands without satisfactory outcome. I saw Eight O’Clock and remembered the brand from when I was younger and my parents used this brand. I brought a two pound bag to bring home; I was shocked at how good the taste was. I made a cup for my wife without telling her we were trying another brand. She was half way through her first cup and commented on how good this coffee tasted. Please try this brand, you will not be disappointed.

Oh wow so fragrant Just worth the wait .. Greatful it finally arrived So now my mother can sit and enjoy her 8oclock coffee 😊

I have tried different brands of coffee, but none can stand up to eight O''clock. Far as I am concerned it is the best and I will stick with it.

Did not taste the same as I bought in store

I received a one kilogram bag which is 35.2739619 ounces, and paid for a 42 ounce bag. Shorted by about 1/6 th. thats about 16.67% less coffee than i paid for.
