I have not had a bad cup of coffee from Iron Bean.
I was talked into trying Iron Bean Coffee by a friend of mine. I ordered the sampler pack, and immediately fell in love. The descriptions of the individual coffees are spot on. Once my nice sized samples started running low, moved to 1 pound bags of various kinds. Right now my favorite is Ride or Die, but honestly, I will probably continue to switch them up. All have a rich, smooth flavor, and I have never once had a problem with bitter coffee.
At one point I got lazy about my ordering, and ran out. I quick bought a bag of my old favorite, Dunkin', and realized that I just can't go back to drinking that on a regular basis. It tastes so bland to me now. I guess I am an Iron Bean Lifer now, and that is perfectly fine with me.
Along with the flavor of the coffee, the owners of this company are amazing. They are very down to Earth, and appreciate all of their customers. Shipping is fast, and the hand written notes on the purchase label are a lovely touch. You can tell they love what they do, and take pride in their work. I don't see much of that from companies, and it just makes me want to support them that much more.
Honestly, I would give ten stars if I could. If you knew me, that is saying a lot, because I can be a little nit-picky, especially when it comes to my coffee.
