Coffee did not taste as if it was fresh. The beans tasted more stale than ones from the grocery store.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Major D is excellent coffee, if you enjoy a darker roast. Try it even if you don’t, with bit extra milk. Great as a drip and terrific as a latte! Been drinking it for many years.
This has been my go-to blend for over 7 years, but with the packaging change, the blend has also changed. It’s now more acidic and fruitier and tastes like a cheap version of Starbucks’ Blonde Roast. So disappointed, will not be purchasing again.

Thank you for your feedback on our Major Dickason's Blend. We didn't make any changes to our coffee or the material for the packaging with this redesign it was only a design change. In any case, your feedback has been shared directly with our leadership team.
This was my goto coffee back in the day, we’d brew this in the office at least twice a day amongst others like sumatra and other dark roasts from Peets. Now that im retired, i dicovered this blend is pretty good as espresso shots and or lattes and has been my morning coffee of choice again making one or two lattes a day. Its just a nice smooth rich cup of coffee that has some rich flavors that are different from your everyday dark roasts. Even as espresso i can get a nice crema and easy to make delicious lattes, americanos or iced coffee its all good with this blend. Give it a try, I'm sure you will love it as much as i do.
