Yaucono Whole Bean Coffee, Medium Roast, Puerto Rico, 2 lb Bag | Arabica coffee, rich, balanced flavor, sweet aroma, whole beans, imported from Puerto Rico

Yaucono coffee rooted in the rich traditions of Puerto Rican coffee culture offers a delightful coffee experience for those who appreciate freshly roasted whole beans. This medium roast promises a balanced flavor profile suitable for daily brewing at home or in a small office setting. Opening the bag (my favorite part) releases an inviting aroma that hints at its freshness and careful roasting. Grinding these beans just before brewing unlocks a vibrant cup that is both satisfying and approachable, making it a great choice for both coffee novices and aficionados alike. If you're looking to enjoy an authentic Puerto Rican coffee without needing to visit the island, I highly recommended Yaucono as my first pick for everyday indulgence or special coffee moments.

I love coffee. As a coffee lover (but not a connoisseur, mind you), I have tried coffee from all over the world, thanks to Amazon. I am actually a product tester for some coffee distributors on Amazon. I DID NOT receive a sample of this coffee in exchange for a review. Instead, my little brother called me and told me I absolutely had to try this brand of coffee. I was skeptical, as I usually am regarding "greatest coffee I ever tasted" claims. But, he is my brother, so I figured I would humor him and give this stuff a shot. I am really glad I did! He told me it would provide me that much loved caffeine kick, and was he ever right! I have looked all over for the type of coffee bean Yaucono uses, but I cannot find it. I suspect it is some type of Arabica bean, but I can't be certain. Anyway, regardless of the bean type, this stuff has one heck of a kick! But, unlike some coffees with a lot of caffeine, it was not acidic. My stomach is rather sensitive, so I was afraid this would give me trouble. Alas, it did not. It is exceptionally smooth and just made for a great cup of coffee. I use a Jura Capresso superautomatica machine to brew my coffee. It is one of those machines that grinds the beans and brews the coffee in one action after you push a button. It allowed me to try this coffee in a variety of coffee drinks. First, just a plain cup of black coffee was delicious. Like I said above, it is just super smooth and rich tasting. I also tried it as an espresso shot, which was very tasty. I think I liked that the most for a quick morning wake up. I also made a couple of lattes with it, which was really good. If you do not like black coffee, a latte with frothed half and half is absolutely amazing with this blend. Finally, I added some shots of hazelnut coffee syrup to the latte and it paired very well. All in all, I am thrilled my little brother called me about this coffee. I have never visited Puerto Rico, but if they drink this kind of coffee all the time, I have really missed out! Although I get a lot of coffee super cheap, I will not hesitate to pay full price for this coffee and always have it on hand. No regrets here!

After 40yrs of coffee drinking,this coffee is best,low acidity and great flavor,u cant beat it for the money,it does what coffee is supposed to do,I love every sip and when done im left wanting more,u know its good when u look forward to the next cup,Ive had the best and expensive and they dont compare!

good coffe

I have been trying alot of different Puerto Rican coffee to support my island. But they all say its great and they not until this brand omg the taste is great and smooth its the best I ever had. Will buy again for sure. Highly recommended!!!!

Disclosure: back in the '60's a neighbor in Ponce, PR owned a "finca de cafe" (coffee farm) near Yauco and as a 10 year old child I stayed there several times during the harvest season, and even helped spread the freshly harvested beans on old concrete drying pads in the sun. My first coffee experience was "cafe con leche" : boiled milk and sugar blended with strong brewed coffee from their farm. Since Coca-Cola invested heavily in the PR coffee industry quality has undeniably suffered. This bag of Yaucono could well be a blend or may possibly be 100% coffee from Puerto Rico. I give it 4 stars because of broken beans, inconsistent roast, but it still Tastes Very Good!

Yaucono is consistent and delicious. My husband grew up in Puerto Rico and we love Yaucono, we were delighted to find out we could buy it through Amazon and it was ACTUALLY the same product we got in Puerto Rico. Highly recommend! Great value for your money. We had my MIL ship a few times and buying through Amazon ended up being a cheaper way to get this product.

Wow! - I never thought my wife would ever _PREFER_ drinking her coffee (the only way good coffee should be drunk) BLACK! For the last week she has requested her coffee straight! I, a true-believer in 100% Kona coffee, never thought I'd would find _any coffee_ that could compete with the coffee I enjoyed on the big island several years ago - including Jamaica Blue Mountain. Cafe Yaucono Original Coffee Beans have rich flavor and an unbelievable low acid content - It must be tasted to be believed. I wish to thank our good friend, Armando L. Cruz-Rodz (an ordained Deacon - among other things), who was born and raised in Adjuntas, Puerto Rico - I took his word one Sunday morning that nothing compares to the coffee grown in his neck of the woods. He is true to his word, and will be receiving a bag of "Café de Puta Madre Whole Bean", the coffee grown in Adjuntas, Puerto Rico, as a "thank you for sharing" gift - and not just the coffee. PS. Google "Café de Puta Madre Whole Bean" - At ~$71.11 for two pounds, this is a bargain! I'm not sure how much better Café de Puta Madre Whole Bean is from Cafe Yaucono Original Coffee Whole Bean - But I'm am sure to try it out - soon! Fortes * Great taste * Good buy * Very Low Acid * Started something that Kona couldn't (i.e. my wife drinking black coffee) Foibles * None 25 April 2016 UPDATE: My wife and I have nearly consumed our Café de Puta Madre Whole Bean purchase. While the Café de Puta Madre Whole Bean may have a slight edge regading taste and smoothness, at $13.99 per pound versus $35.56 per pound, there is no contest. 06 September 2019 UPDATE: 18 bags latter and nothing has changed - Tastes just as good as the first time I purchased this coffee! STILL HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Maybe a bad quality batch. This coffee is one of my favourite but this batch is bitter and taste like charcoal.
