My absolute favorite coffee in the world!
PostedNovember 27, 2012
SoCalSunAndCoffee
From: Southern California
This is, without a doubt, my absolute favorite coffee in the world. That's not a figure of speech. It is 100% true.
This coffee is amazing. The Bourbon varietal is my favorite among coffee beans. Bourbon beans produce a coffee that is sweet, floral and citrussy. This coffee delivers in all three area. This coffee is also very smooth and balanced which is a true credit to the men and women that roasted it.
To get the most out of this coffee just keep in mind when brewing: time, temperature, grind and proportion.For best results with this coffee go with a French press to brew. For the French press let your coffee steep for 4 minutes. You want to make sure your water is hot enough but not too hot (195-205 Fahrenheit). Use a coarse grind for French press and you want to use 2 tablespoons for every 6 ounces of water. It's that simple.
You cannot go wrong with this coffee. Try it. You'll love it!
Yes, I recommend this product.

I thoroughly enjoy the starbucks reserve coffees. Almost all of those coffees are really good. However, the Galapagos reserve provides one of the best cups of coffee I have ever had. I love this coffee and go out of my way to buy a bag whenever I can.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I love this coffee. I can't get enough of it. I first ordered one bag on line. Then a couple weeks later two bags, now I'm going to order four before this reserve runs out. I love this coffee because it doesn't taste thin or bitter. It is rich and warm with a delightful depth of flavor. Notes of carmel and cocco.I am expiementing with different brewing methods and all come out great.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Inconsistent

I bought a bag of this at my local Starbucks and it was fantastic - rich tasting, cola notes, simply delicious. When my store ran out I purchased more online. The coffee that arrived was bland, very mild, and not well roasted. No notes of anything - just flat, bland, coffee with very little coffee flavor. As a matter of fact I have to put way more coffee than I usually do just so the coffee is darker than a light amber. Something is not right and it seems the batches are inconsistent or perhaps there was some sort of error and some other coffees made it in some of the Galapagos bags. Very odd.
No, I do not recommend this product.

I was suprised by the mildness of this coffee. I was really expecting a much stronger flavor with more cola & chocolate notes. It was worth the try, but I prefer a much darker coffee.

Just made my first pot yesterday: freshly ground and used 9 scoops of coffee for 10 cups of water. My coffee tasted like warm cream. There was no taste whatsoever. This is the first coffee from Starbucks that I can say is less than desirable. What a disappointment!!!!!!!
Even my husband who prefers mild coffee to my dark coffee asked me what I brewed. His comment was this has NO taste.
It's horrible! Not only is it expensive, but you only receive a half pound when it is more expensive than a full pound price.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Exquisitely smooth while meeting my penchant for bold and dark coffees. Love the slight fruity notes - that's what makes it a great summer coffee. I bought a bag to try and am getting more :)

Best coffee I have had since I was in the Galapagos in 2010

The very distinct flavor of the coffee I had while visiting the Galapagos Islands April 2010, I purchased 3 bags to take home with me after my trip, and thought I would never enjoy that flavor again. The low acidity and the incredible flavor of this truly organic coffee, was a memory to be treasured...when I found out Starbucks had gotten some Galapagos Coffee, I had to buy some, and I did and was so very pleased that I tasted the same coffee I brought back with me 2 years ago, I have since ordered several more bags...
Yes, I recommend this product.

One of my favorite Starbucks Reserves.
Drink it black to get the full flavor, I'm not good at describing the taste, I think the description on the bag says it all. It's not smokey and not i think it's between a medium-bold.
