Counter Culture Coffee Fast Forward Blend, Organic, Medium Roast, Whole Bean Coffee, 12 oz

I purchased Counter Coffee Fast Forward blend along with the Big Trouble blend to try a new bean. I purchased whole bean for each flavor. I grind my beans fresh each morning for the best cup of coffee. This flavor I placed in my freezer in an airtight container while I used the Big Trouble beans. About 1 1/2 months later I pulled the Fast Forward blend from the freezer to use. After thoroughly cleaning my grinder, I placed the Fast Forward beans in the grinder. The aroma was wonderful. I then placed the grounds in the French Press. I waited 4 minutes and poured. The coffee was a little 'sweeter' and more acidic than I like. I reduced my French Press time to 3 minutes and used a slightly larger grind. I still found this was not my favorite flavor. I found it too acidic for my taste. I ended up grinding the bag and fed the grounds to my blueberry plants - they LOVED it! I have flowering bushes in February.

amongst the best of beans out there. Pour beans on a tray and see even size without any quakers or broken parts evenly roasted on the date printed. quality! also printed is the country of origin and percentages in the blend. Owners said they swap different origins throughout the year based on best available but then they mix to match style of blend. I only wish they printed the roast level : light, cinnamon, city+, full city, vienna or french. you have to feel of the bag to get an idea. Darker roasts will fill the bag while lighter roasts fill somwtimes half-way. that's because the darker roasts go thru pops (crack) much like popcorn so the bean enlarges a bit each time - darker roasts filling the bag more than lighter ones. not expensive if you realize what you're getting.

I'm a big fan of fast forward, years ago when searching for a consistent high-quality coffee, I sampled all the coffees available in 5 lb. size. They were all good, and each had particular stand-out qualities, but fast forward's sweet, nutty, and year round consistent flavor has won the day for me!

I bought a bag of CounterCulture coffee at BJ'S. It's on the pricey side but it's worth it. I can now drink (this) coffee straight black with no sugar! That's how smooth the taste is. Please keep your means of production same do not get sloppy and greedy.

My current favorite pour over coffee!!! If you burn it, i.e. use a cheap coffee maker it doesn't taste very good as it is a more nuanced blend of coffee. The heater on a traditional coffee maker will burn this coffee quickly.

It smells so good. I opened the bag and saw it was beans that have to be ground. I was so disappointed. 😞 When I get a grinder I know it will be delicious.

Went into a Whole Foods to try a different coffee. Must have been 49 different coffees there. I'd never heard of this before and kind of confused by the name of the blend but I bought it. I'm not a coffee connoisseur but I know what I like. This is the best coffee I ever drank. I just use a $19 Krupps blade grinder but it works and easy to clean. Couldn't be happier.

Everything is always so fresh and delicious! I have not yet try to be that I didn't like. I've used counterculture for two years now, and will continue to do so, the flavor can't be beat! Not to mention it's delivered right to my door, and I can smell the beans from the box. That's how you know it's good!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you like that flavor of real coffee you need to go here. Is so many other coffee's taste like chemical. This is delicious, and I've had many people who had the coffee at my home. Ask me what it is and buy it for themselves.

I received a 24oz bag of Counter Culture Fast Forward coffee as a gift. I absolutely love a coffee that tastes rich, and let me tell you that this coffee tastes RICH! Luxurious! Wealthy! It is exactly what I need to get transported to paradise on a rainy day or an early morning. I haven't had coffee this wonderful since my vacation to the Greek Islands. I highly recommend grinding fine and brewing in an Italian moka pot on the stove. This coffee is THEE coffee!
