Oh my my! We've recently discovered Kicking Horse coffee and honestly, I can't tell you which one I like best, but I will tell you this Kick Ass blend is just deliciousness in a mug. We like a good, strong coffee in the morning for blowing off (up?) the cobwebs, but many blends we've tried are just too bitter/acidic in a strong brew. Not Kick Ass. Strong but gentle, ya know? Full-bodied, with a nice smoky aroma and flavour without the burnt flavour being sucked up by the wish-they-were-hip crowd over at St____ks. If you like a dark roast, please do yourself a favour and try Kick Ass. Extra points for being organic and Fair Trade. Extra points for being a Canadian company. As well, every bag of coffee we've received from Amazon using the subscription service has been fresh; I have to confess, I love it when the package is waiting for me after a long day at the office capped off by a long commute home. I open the bag right away just to inhale that wonderful aroma. I'd like a few words now the with the reviewer who penalized the company! one whole star because the bag didn't have the little adhesive tab: Really, Dude? That was your only complaint? And it was worth docking the grade by 20%? I keep my coffee beans in glass jars. I guess you hadn't thought of it. I bought some nice glass canisters st Ikea, but if you don't want to do that you could wash out a pickle jar and reuse it for storing your wonderful Kick Ass beans. You're welcome. Read more

Normally I buy beans from a local roaster. I saw the price on Kicking Horse varieties and decided to gamble. I wondered about how old the stock would be, but the bag I got had an Aug 2025 best by date. Not bad, but probably still roasted at least a month ago, probably a couple months. Couldn't be any good, right? Well, was I in for a surprise. I chose the Smart Ass blend for the flavour notes listed and, believe it or not, they were surprisingly present. This is a medium roast, and looked about right. No oily beans here. I've tried them as a V60 pourover, as an Americano through my espresso machine, and even a turbo shot. To my unrefined palate, I'm getting a strong pitted fruit presence, like cherries. Some may like it, others may not. I liked it at first, but it kinda wore thin after a while for me. For $12/lb on sale the value is definitely there, if fresh roasted isn't available. At regular price, I'd still rather get local fresh roast for $18/lb Read more

The taste of this coffee is horrible. I am a big fan of the brand and have tried everything in their range (except the decaf), and this has to be the worst coffee I have ever tried. One word sums it up - yuck!🤮 Read more
