Oakland Coffee Works, Organic, Straight Edge Decaf Blend, Certified Compostable Bag, 12 Ounce, Whole Bean

I was a little bit wary of buying this coffee at first solely because of the expensive price tag attached to it. The only reason being that I am an avid coffee drinker and I was afraid I would fall in love too hard with this brand and not have the mulah to thoroughly supply myself with it. Well, assumption was correct. This coffee has a flavor that's dark and earthy. It's a very bold brew so your cup will be swimming with flavor. As for the money part, I found that it isn't quite an issue because a little goes a long, long way with this roast. Only a handful of beans will do otherwise your coffee will be over the borderline of "dark roast". Which is a good thing! You aren't completely wasting all of your coffee beans on one pot just to try and achieve the perfect brew/flavor! I will say it took me a few attempts to figure out the perfect amount but once you get it down to science you will be absolutely hooked on this coffee. It's also compostable. It's actually the first 100 percent certified compostable coffee! So you won't feel bad about tossing it out and can add to the carbon footprint a little bit less. Anything helps, right? If you are a caffeine obsessed lunatic like I am then I recommend you buy this at least once. Just give it a try! I promise you won't be disappointed! - @yetiyoungblood

Update: my husband was moaning about the fact that he was truly out of his good coffee when Amazon delivered a fresh bag of Atomic Garden. He was so delighted! I’ll need to order more for his birthday!!!!!!I have to admit, I bought this because of Green Day, but my husband absolutely loves it! He also likes (as do I) that the proceeds go back to help the people of the villages where the coffee is grown and picked. I also got him a bag of the decaf, which he also loves

I live in a house shared by 5 other ppl and myself. We tried a lot of different brands and we all agree on Oakland. The flavor is great and I love that it has depth

I bought this mainly because I was intrigued to learn that one of my favorite bands from my childhood, and still today, had gotten involved in the coffee business. After using these beans to make pour over coffee in my Chemex, I was 100% impressed. This is hands down one of the best organic dark roast beans out there. In comparison, I really love Trader Joe's Guatemalan Whole Bean Dark Roast and Kicking Horse 454. Really, really nice and smooth coffee - I had lower expectations, but I truly love it and recommend it.

Tasted good. But there was an unexpected amount of coffee bean debris at the bottom of the bag. Been buying a lot of whole bean coffee from small outfits without having this problem. Made me question the quality of the product. Don't be dazzled by the "Green Day" hype.

I love the flavor of this coffee. I tend to Brew my coffee stronger than most people, it is very smooth and low in acid. All my friends that have tried this coffee want to know where I got it. I highly recommend it.

I love the flavor of this coffee. I bought this for use in my espresso machine and it's great. It's a little pricey which is the only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars.

Gave this as a gift to picky coffee fanatics. I asked about two weeks later if they liked it, and they said it was already gone! The packaging and altruism impressed them, but the amazing flavor was the real surprise. They’ll be buying more.
