Breakfast Blend

For reference, I'm a bit of what some people would call a "coffee snob." I have an SCA-certified coffee maker (more on that in a moment), V60, and Moka pot. I use a hand grinder to grind my whole beans, and I generally weigh my coffee when brewing. However, while I enjoy a nice cup of Ethiopian beans in the afternoon, I am less particular about my coffee in the morning and just prefer something that tastes decent and is very cheap. I have been buying Maxwell House from BJ's because it was the cheapest I could find in stores, but when I saw Amazon had this Community Coffee for an even cheaper price, I just had to give it a try. The Breakfast Blend hits the mark perfectly for me, and I can see why it's popular in the south. When using cream only (which I only do for medium nutty roasts like this one), I can definitely detect the notes of honey and hazelnut, though it is a bit muted. That could admittedly be due to the creamer, but it also could be a result of an older roast date (date is not provided on the packaging). The best way to describe the flavor is that it's like diner coffee, similar to what you'd get at something like a Denny's. It is not bitter and does have a smooth taste with cream. For brewing in an autodrip machine, I made this with my GE Cafe Specialty Drip brewer which I love because it's one of the few machines out there that lets you select the brew temperature. As a sidenote, the retail price is very expensive, but you can often find it from the Amazon Renewed store for very cheap prices. I typically brew at 8g/4.5 oz cup and 195 degrees F for medium roast coffees like Maxwell House since I find the SCA setting (200 degrees F) to be better suited for light roast coffee like my Ethiopian beans. For this coffee though, I decided to try the SCA setting since the grinds seemed a bit lighter roasted than your typical cheap medium roast. The SCA setting is absolutely perfect for this coffee, so if your machine allows you to set the brew temperature, I would definitely recommend brewing at 200 F. I have not tried brewing this in the V60 yet, but I would assume the same temperature would apply. In conclusion, I'd definitely recommend this coffee if you're looking for a cheap morning brew that is smooth and not too bitter. I will definitely be buying again!

With so many coffees out there, its hard to pick the number one coffee you want to drink and share with your friends - for me, Community Club Coffee is it. Started drinking this coffee over 60 years ago and have found it to be the most perfect coffee ever - the texture, aroma, flavor is so consistent, just haven't found any other coffee like it. Smooth and easy on your gut - great taste! Best coffee ever in my humble opinion.

This was a good price for the amount of coffee received. Two pounds lasts a long time in our house. I use it in the regular 12 cup coffee maker and in my Keurig coffee maker as well. The taste is robust enough for the non coffee connoisseurs.

I found my coffee. Deep, rich flavor for the morning start. Medium grind works well in a drip coffee maker

Good coffee at a good price, but I just noticed the short dating. Coffee arrived 4/1/26, and both bags say “Brew by 5/25/26”. I never checked the date on previous orders.

Great price, great brand. Highly recommend. Great flavor and even better taste. Community coffee has been around forever and I see why. Non acidic, smells delicious when brewed and extremely smooth. Decaf and reg are my favs!

This coffee is so good, and little acidity. Never upsets my tummy. Wish it came in a bigger size. The strength is just right. I would order it again.

Great flavor. Great price point.
