This is the best part of waking up.
I fell in love with this coffee back in 1981 and to this day nothing compares to the the aroma and taste. I order direct by the case and receive my product super-fast.

Cheap Tasteless Coffee from a carless corporation
The Coffee is hollow and too light tasting. Its slightly bitter, but overall extremely flat. If you enjoy the idea of coffee, but hate the taste of anything but water this is the coffee for you. Also this coffee is one of those brands that enjoys tearing up rainforestest and exploiting locals for cheap mass production.

    Fresh, Quick, and Easy
    Quick, easy, and fresh. For some reason Eight O'Clock Coffee is becoming harder to find at my local grocery stores and I live in a major metropolitan area. There are plenty of national grocery chains from which to choose. Buying online is the only sensible option. A large variety from which to choose. It arrives within a matter of three or four days. I have never had a bad or stale batch of coffee. I like to grind my own beans every morning. Eight O'Clock IMHO is the only way to go.

    Still the best
    I have had many coffees over the decades. Eight o'Clock is still my preferred coffee. My mom would take me to the A & P nearby in the 50s, where she would buy it. The aroma was the enticing thing; on the way out, I would chew on a coffee bean. I was really ecstatic to see it return to supermarket shelves.

    Excellent Coffee - Best Kept Secret
    Excellent coffee. I've been brewing name brand coffee from Seattle startups (without giving brands) for decades until a neighbor shared some beans from Eight O'clock…just a couple of months ago. The coffee was incredibly smooth, flavorful and outright consistent. We were hooked instantly! We've made the switch for good.

    Idaho 8 o clock coffee lovers
    My wife and I have been drinking 8 o clock whole bean coffee for 17 years ever since we moved to Idaho and could not find our previous favorite brand. It's our favorite brand we love the taste and the smoothness and will continue purchasing.

    If you like coffee, this is the best!
    Eight O'clock Coffee is the only coffee for me. I couldn't find it locally so I ordered it directly from the company. We like buying the beans and grinding as we need it. It was shipped as promised and we had no problems with our order. Great flavor and the Best that I have ever had! Try it!

    More than doubled the price in a month.
    What happened to the price? Over twice the price since I last ordered. This isn't right!!!

    Honest
    love the coffee but HATE the price now being charged. bought in Sept,2022 now in early Nov,2022 the price has gone up to almost double. This for whole bean coffee is ridiculous, goodbye 8 o'clock.

    Sold stale coffee
    Both bags of the eight o'clock coffee beans were stale and had no fragrance or flavor at all. Very unusual and disappointing experience for us. Literally no fragrance

    I will order online for now on
    We love 8 o'clock coffee and have been drinking it for over 45 years. Since A&P / SavACenter went away it has become harder to find in stores, especially as Whole Bean. Now, problem solved: order online

    Inexpensive but better than most other coffee
    This is the best coffee you can buy for less than 5 dollars per pound and frankly it beats lots of expensive coffee too. You really can't beat the deal. We use it to make cold brew coffee and it seems to be ideal for that.

    Flavor that exceeds the cost; great coffee
    Pleasantly surprised with the flavor. I bought it needing another item to get free shipping, but it ended up being one of the best tasting cups of coffee I've had in a long time. Lots of bright fruity overtones of some of the African sources, great smooth base flavor, and just enough of the roasting depth, without being over-roasted so that's all you taste. Equal to or much better than a lot of the way more expensive beans, much to my surprise. I don't use drip, so don't know how it does with that extraction method. [Vacuum-insulted press pot, medium fine grind, 190F water, 15-20 min extraction time] This became my normal everyday coffee of choice. Good surprises are rare these days, and this happened to be one of them.

    Coffee is fine but packaging wasn't. One of 3 bags I ordered was open with beans all over inside the box . I have ordered the already ground bags and they had an extra tape over the top to keep the bags sealed.

    I was hesitant in buying this because it was less expensive than the other brands. But... it was not long before we decided it was not an inferior coffee. We now only purchase this brand because the flavor is just as good as the more costly ones. We like getting the whole bean and grind it as needed to get a fresh flavor.

    Eight O'Clock Coffee- Almost Perfect!
    Eight O'Clock coffee has long been a family favorite. It has a smooth, rich flavor with no bitter aftertaste. The freshly ground aribica beans offer a distinctly inviting aroma- great for your morning pick-me up. I would love to see this offered as organic coffee as that would be perfection!

    wake up to great coffee
    Excellently roasted beans plus your grinder equals an delicious cup of coffee every time. Drip, percolate or French press, these beans do not disappoint. We have enjoyed them for years. PS They are available ground as well.
