Copper Moon Panama Bouquete Coffee, Whole Bean, 5-Pound Bag Consumer Report
Copper Moon Panama Bouquete Coffee, Whole Bean, 5-Pound Bag Review by cian "cian" (Chicago, IL, Los Angeles, CA)
Never did business with (or heard of) Cooper Moon before this order. I was mousing around Amazon and found a very good deal (sale/mark down) on a 5 lb lot of freshly roasted coffee beans (Panama Boquete) -- which is why I was motivated to take a chance on an unknown (to me) company. Since they advertise and sell product on Amazon, it wasn't the same (again, to my way of thinking) as going on eBay and buying product from an unknown vendor (I do that too, but that's another story). Plus free shipping. I no longer order coffee from anybody that charges me the full rate for shipping! It has to be a low flat rate or free shipping! My wife and I are hearty coffee drinkers (it is our beverage of choice) and although I buy at least 5 lbs at a time we probably order 10-20 times per year (according to my shipping history with various vendors). If you multiply that by $10.00 up to $15.00 (UPS) depending on the size of the shipment, the coin you save can surely buy either something else, or more coffee!
Anyway, I ordered, and 6 days later beans were delivered by UPS. Everything was in great shape. The bags had proper ventilation (small gas vent near upper middle of coffee bag). Since Amazon shipped it, the coffee bags were well packed with box filler adding extra padding to the beans. When I opened up the bags the smell of fresh roast coffee was wonderful. Store bought cans or bags smell okay when you open them for the first time, but freshly roasted coffee perfumes the entire kitchen with an aroma of spice, berries and the smoke characteristics of the roaster that did the cooking and the varietal (type) of coffee bean purchased. In this case the PB beans had a city roast and they had a light citrus tang that really lends to the flavor of the coffee.
Of course the proof of good coffee is in the tasting. I made a pot. Poured a cup. (slurp!). Great stuff. Panama Boquete is a hearty coffee with complex flavors (berries, earth, a little chocolate and citrus) and a deep, smooth finish.
I have nothing critical to say. I got a great deal with free shipping; beans arrived in the alloted window of time and were freshly roasted. Copper Moon and Amazon get a top score.
Copper Moon Panama Bouquete Coffee, Whole Bean, 5-Pound Bag Review by M. Armstrong
Every 5lb bag of whole beans I've bought off of amazon has been tasty and worthy of 5 stars (even outside of subjective preference, they are GOOD coffees, if maybe roasted too dark or too light for my tastes, etc). This product defied that standard. The beans were dry and dusty. Many of them were broken into smaller pieces already, and the coffee brewed is distinctively "bad." I suspect that my 5lb bag may have been old stock, but it was a huge dissapointment. I soldiered through the last cup today and felt compelled to prevent others from making the same mistake I did. Go with something else.
Copper Moon Panama Bouquete Coffee, Whole Bean, 5-Pound Bag Review by Fred's Reviews
Panama Boquete has been a favorite varietal of mine for a few years. On review of the Copper Moon label, it turns out this bag is actually a blend--and specifics of varietals included are not disclosed. At least one third of beans are broken or misshapen, Grinds up pale, dusty and dry. No character, even with French Press preparation. I will not buy again. Try Coffee Bean Direct Panama Boquete, Whole Bean Coffee, 5-Pound Bag for a few more dollars. If the Boquete is too much dough, try their Poor Man's Blend. I have bought both several times. Superior beans, carefully sorted for uniformity, and nicely-roasted.
