Gevalia House Blend Ground Coffee, 12 oz. Bag

I am by no means a coffee aficionado but there’s something different with this coffee. It seems smoother and has no bitterness that some other coffees have. It is now the one I use the most. If you like dark coffee this is not the one for you. But for me it is right in the middle where I like my coffee to be.

This is my favorite coffee. Gevalia used to offer light roast and dark roast. I would blend them with Yuban coffee in order to create my own flavor blend. Since they no longer offered light or dark roast, I tried the Traditional Roast and found that it was nearly as good as my own blend. I would say that the flavor notes are fruity and nutty.

I am sensitive to bitter flavors and tried different coffees for years to find the smoothest blend. I have settled on drinking this Gevalia brand. It smells wonderful and is always smooth. When we have company over for coffee, they always comment on how good it is. It costs a little more, but if you consider how little the difference is per cup, it's worth it.

This decaf tastes full-bodied, so you can use just a bit less of it, for brewing, than the bargain brands. The price is somewhat more than we usually spend on the same amount of Great Value coffee, so we only use it on the weekends, as a treat. It is worth the extra money, however.

I am a fan of this brand of coffee for both overall value and quality. This particular variety, the dark gold roast, has a smoother taste than most dark roast coffee, but still much bolder than a medium roast. There are strong notes of cacao in both aroma and flavor. It has become one of my favorites very quickly, and I highly recommend it.

If you haven't tried Gevalia, splurge! Yes, it is a bit pricey but I would rather enjoy 2 cups of fabulous coffee than 4 mediocre cups of competitor's. I also buy Maxwell House which is smoother to me than Folgers, but when I can find Gevalia I buy 4-5 pkgs at a time. The coffee is ground to almost a powder, it is never bitter or acidic. I just wish Gevalia would bring back their white ceramic latched-lock coffee container. If you love good coffee, this is about the best you'll find in a grocery store.

I wanted a quality decaf. I honestly don't know what that is. It's not Dunkin. I've had this brand in the past, and I enjoyed it. Back then I was drinking it with cream and sugar though, so I don't know if it masked the coffee itself, or maybe my tastes have changed. This isn't bad, but upon opening the bag, I did not enjoy the scent. The taste was fine, and I will finish the bag. Eventually. But I'm not sure if I'll buy another.

While I received my order in a timely fashion, the manner of delivery was strange. I ordered 12 packets. The first order came in (I assumed it was complete), only contained 7 packets. Another delivery came later on with 3 packets. Then a final delivery with just 2 packets. All the while, I kept getting notifications of another delivery expected soon. Efficiency is not a description I would use. 3 separate deliveries by 3 separate individuals just doesn't seem logical. I guess any process to get the job done is admirable, but I am still in disbelief how it went down. Charles

packaging was contaminated with larva, in the folds of the coffee bag . i reported it to Walmart. the coffee was not effected and is delicious but unfortunatly will not be ordering any more. must be in theshippi g or warehouse.

Years ago, my brother had a subscription to Gevalia Coffee and it was wonderful. Full bodied, smooth, and just delicious. When I saw that Walmart carried decaffeinated Gevalia, I was very excited, but this does not compare to the subscription Gevalia. It tastes more like the company is getting rid of its rancid and damaged beans by palming them off on the unsuspecting grocery store market. I can't even describe what it is about the coffee that tastes so bad. I would call it bitter or sour, but that isn't even quite accurate. It is both strong and weak at the same time, if that is even possible. I think someone needs to coin a new term to describe how disgusting this coffee is...maybe something comparable to dishwater. I am one of those people who doesn't like to waste things. I will make my family finish a box of cereal, even when no one is particularly fond of it. If they forget to use the chip clip, they are eating stale chips until the bag is finished and heaven help anyone who opens a new bag before every crumb of the old bag is gone. Normally, I would suffer through a bag of subpar coffee. I am no quitter. I will force myself to finish a terrible book because I am a person that sees things through. That said, I would rather give up coffee for the rest of my life than finish this bag. It went into the trash, because my conscience couldn't handle causing the suffering it would bring if I tried to give it away to a friend or neighbor. Do yourself a favor and skip this coffee. Heating up a kettle of muddy water would be a better choice.
