Equal Exchange Love Buzz Ground (1x10 Oz)

I crafted this coffee in a China coffee/tea brewer. This coffee, when brewed, is very pleasing. I am very happy to have this coffee! Love buzz is great! Next time maybe I'll order the 3-pack special. I would recommend Love buzz to a friend.

First off, I bought this coffee specifically because it's organic, fair trade, and ethically sourced. Because coffee can be absolutely loaded with leftover pesticides I always go organic and I love that the company really does give back to local communities and helps to give people better lives. As far as flavor, whoa is it strong! And that's comparing it to Pete's organic French Roast which I thought was the strongest I'd had before this one. We use this in a single cup porcelain immersion dripper and it seems to be the perfect grind for that, which isn't always the case with pre-ground coffee. The aroma upon opening the bag was dark and sweet and powerful. I learned quickly that I really only needed about 2/3 the amount of coffee that I usually use to make a nice dark cup and I don't have to steep it quite as long to get the same strength. The first cup I used too much and steeped it too long (the same as I would have with my other coffee) and it was cloyingly strong with a hint of bitterness even through the honey and cream that I use. That's actually a bonus for me though because now I can use less coffee (and in turn spend less money) to get the same strong cup. As long as I use the right amount & steep for the correct amount of time it has a nice smooth taste that's very full flavored and enjoyable. I will absolutely be buying this again & will probably end up making the switch from Pete's.

It's our favorite coffee...bold, robust, smooth, nutty, and fruity. The aroma is intoxicating when you first open the bag, reminds me of when I lived in South America.

Great purchase, love the coffee.

My lifestyle is turning towards nearly everything organic. I, for one, wonder if the coffee I drink is toxic or healthy. After reading some articles on how processed non-organic coffee is, I want to avoid them like the plague. In my opinion, any chemical(s) added to a plant are regarded by our body as foreign and attacked by our immune system. It just wreck havoc on our body since it can't be absorbed. In an online article I read, it stated:"Coffee is one of the most chemically treated crops, with some estimates stating every acre of coffee gets treated with 25 pounds of agriculturalchemicals...studies have shown that roasting the coffee seems to decrease toxins by about 85 percent. The 15 percent that remains is stillenough to encourage buying organic coffee instead..." Pretty scary, yes?On the hand, well-sourced coffee acts as an antioxidant. With this mind, I feel a lot better drinking this coffee. I do not get the jitters from drinking two cups; however, drinking two cups often necessitates frequent trips to the ladies room.Taste is another factor. I chose this blend of coffee as a concession to my husband's preference for strong tasting coffee, and my preference for a mild, smooth blend. I have to say, that based on my taste, this coffee is a bit on the bitter side. I will want to try the "Breakfast Blend" from this company to discover if the taste is more to my liking.Overall, I am pleased with this coffee. Trying another blend that is milder is on my list of

I absolutely love this coffee more than any other I have ever tried and I have tried hundreds! I use the Subscribe & Save to save money. My caveat for this last order is they sent me ALL whole bean rather than the ground I had asked for. I did not realize it until I went to open a package. So now I have to go out and buy a coffee grinder so we can use it! Returning it is 1) a hassle since I live in the country and 2) I opened one of the packages! I am sure fresh ground will be as delicious as the ground but this shipment is a bit of a miss on their fulfilling my order!

I found the coffee too finely ground, so when the coffee was brewed it felt like some of the grounds came through into my drink. The flavor was ok but the sooty texture of the drink made it less enjoyable. I wouldn’t purchase it again.

This is sooo good! I love coffee but will restrict myself to 1 cup of coffee a day. I tried the LoveBuzz based on other reviews and I'm so happy I did! Everytime I make a cup, I have to restrain myself from making another the way it tastes so good. The aroma, the flavours, the body...you won't be disappointed if you give it a try. All the flavours and hints that they say this blend has, is no joke. True to the very last drop. I'm a dark chocolate lover and I prefer my coffees medium roast (not dark roast).
