Why the 5 (Five) Stars
5 Stars
Why the 5 (Five) Stars
Well because the competition it was up against was significantly worse. The venerated SF BAY Coffee: Fog Chase in my opinion was a burden to the eye, a sting to the nose, and a cough for the throat. I am not a coffee aficionado and I can honestly and with pride admit that I am terrible at descriptions regarding taste or smells or anything really. The latter merely states that I know I am an idiot. So if you would please allow me to apologize in advance for the mediocrity of the following descriptions of the vastly superior (to 1 opponent) Kicking Horse Coffee: Smart Ass, I shall continue...I payed money not for coffee but for an experience or, to satiate the senseless covid ruminations, a hobby. The bag seemed fine with its minimalistic intentions but could do some updating. There’s a lot of unnecessary text that can’t be entirely removed or replace with a hyperbole that your coffee makes horses kick or something of the sort that will make it more probable that the consumer will memorize your brand name and share it in a conversation. But as my scissors cut through that plastic the aromas I’d these coffee were enjoyed throughly. I wanted to make a candle out of it since the smell mattered to me so much. Start grinding and your hit once again with an orgy of different smells which exacerbates the impatience of waiting until the coffee is done and cool. And as I drank the first cup I immediately knew I liked it. I didn’t know why but I knew this was some good coffee and continued to drink it until it finally induced me to make this review. I have been trying to deduce what exactly of this coffee do I like? So I go drinking multiples cups disregarding time which led me to succumb to herbal ;)teas to treat my insomnia. Until finally one day, this day, right know, I knew why i liked this coffee. It was the taste. It took long hours trying to decipher what in the hell this coffee tasted like. What tastes like coffee? But it was darn good. Until it hit me. It tastes exactly how it smells. Plus its smooth as butter. That’s it. That’s a covid epiphany.

I think I had higher expectations, but the flavor wasn’t very bold. And I have to agree this felt closer to a medium-dark roast. However, it’s a good option for the price, especially with the cost of coffee beans here in Hawaii.

Move over, snooze button! Kicking Horse Coffee just became my new morning motivator. Ok, fine, until they figure out a way to get the caffeine into me before I wake up, I will still need the snooze button.

Nevertheless, this coffee is bold, robust, and downright delicious, it's the kind of coffee that makes you smile before your eyes are even open all the way.

Cheers to waking up on the right side of the bed every morning!

Flavor Name: Smart Ass - Medium RoastSize: 10 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
This is my 4th Kicking Horse order from Amazon. I was motivated by the pandemic to mail order beans, having usually gotten them locally. Each order has been a win. I first tried Grizzly Claw, then Kick Ass and now Smart Ass. Having had the dark roast beans for months, I wanted something different, hence the Smart Ass medium roast. As always, I bought the whole beans and then ground them with a burr grinder. For a medium roast with my drip maker, I start with a medium-fine grind. In this, my first effort, it seems to have been the right setting. I would describe the coffee as smooth, low acid, with a mild, nutty flavor. I have had more flavorful medium roasts, but this suits me fine and is a good break from the dark roasts. I will play around with my method to see if I can brighten the coffee up a bit. The order was delivered the next day, which was great. The vacuum in the bag was strong, as it has been for each order. I think their packaging has everything to do with being able to deliver consistently fresh coffee by mail order at a decent price.

I always wanted to try this coffee. Was a little disappointed it doesn't have a good robust flavor and only a 10 oz bag it is expensive from my budget. I really wouldn't recommend this product.

I'm not a big coffee drinker, bought this for my father. The aroma is nice and the flavor is good.

Good at the right price but not a coffee that I would pay a premium price for, considering what else is available
