Magnum Exotics, Blue Mountain Coffee Blend - Medium-Light Roast Ground Coffee, Made from 100% Arabica Beans, Rich & Smooth Flavor, Fresh Roast - Blue Mountain Blend, 1 Lb (Pack of 1)

Some of the best tasting coffee out there.

Used to get it at Costco, not longer there. Excellent blue mountain blend a lot cheaper than 100 percent blue mountain coffee

Brings back fond memories of Jamaica’s great coffee

Not many of us can afford to drink 100% Jamaican Blue Mountain on a daily basis. As such, I've tried several Blue Mountain "Blends". Based on the price none of these blends could contain more than 25% Blue Mountain beans, and most likely contain only 10% or so. Of those I've tried, the Magnum is the truest to real Jamaican Blue Mountain. It maintains much of the flavor of JBM and much of the smoothness with only a small amount more acidity than you would normally find in pure JBM. The most notable difference is the strength. JBM is so great because it pack a bold flavor without being overly dark, burnt, or acidic. Magnum has chosen to maintain the overall flavor profile but with less boldness, I assume to keep acidity in check. For daily use this is a good compromise to make. Other blends go the other way and come across as burnt and acidic. This will likely be my daily coffee for quite a while to come.

Exelent coffee

You probably know about Jamaican Blue Mountain but avoid it because of the price - give this budget grind a go. It's grown on an land near the pricey one, so it has the same properties. It's all about the altitude it's grown at.

After reading reviews I was pretty excited to try this. Very disappointed! Maybe because it's pre-ground. As anyone, when I opened the bag and smelled it I could tell it would be mediocre at best. Honestly smells and taste like any big brand a low to mid grade coffee. Will not buy again:(

Let me just say that I've never had Blue Mountain Coffee before, so I can't compare it to a full 100% blend. I'm also not a coffee connoisseur (don't roast/grind my own beans...yet), but I do like a nice light-medium roast with smooth flavor and low acidity/bitterness. From what I've heard and read, Blue Mountain coffee beans are the gold standard when it comes to that which is why I was very disappointed in this coffee. Maybe I'd built it up too much after reading all of the positive reviews, but I found it to be quite average with a moderate amount of lingering bitterness and acidity afterwards. To be honest, I would prefer Starbucks Veranda or Breakfast Blend as opposed to this. Both have a similar bitterness and slightly more acidity (yes, I know everyone complains about Starbucks being over-roasted), but at least they have more flavor to show for it.FWIW, one of my friends (who recommended that I try Blue Mountain coffee) had the 100% stuff when he was over in Jamaica and he said that it was the best coffee he's ever had. When I told him I'd purchased this, he was very curious and excited to see how it compared (knowing that it was a blend). Having no idea of my opinion, he stated that the taste had very little similarity to the real thing and was significantly less smooth.So bottom line, at $10/pound, it's not overly expensive, but it's also nothing special. You can get as good or better for a similar price in a non-"Blue Mountain" blend.
