I adore fresh ground coffee, and the Kicking Horse did not disappoint! The aroma that is produce both before grinding and after is simply amazing. The flavor is bold without the bittnerness of other brands. It does not leave you with a sense of needing more, but it is so good it is hard not to finish a pot by yourself.

Kicking horse is for coffee lovers that like a bold taste and don't need any hazelnut creamer to sweeten it up. It's a dark roast that's rich and velvety without being bitter. A French press or pour over is the best way to brew it.

The coffee tastes great and gives a shot of energy. I love grinding the coffee beans in the morning to get my morning java. The smell itself is invigorating and makes me feel active and energetic every day

I'm pretty picky about my coffee so I expect nothing less than perfection when it comes to my morning wake-me-up. The Kicking Horse Coffee, 454 Horse Power Dark Roast coffee was just what I was looking for. A smooth, dark coffee, it has all the caffeine I need in a tasty beverage. I really liked that it was whole bean coffee so I could grind it myself resulting in a fresher brew. Having had dark roast coffee, it's hard to go back to mild or medium and the 454 Horse Power Dark Roast is dark enough that you get a strong coffee flavor, but not so much that you drinking bitter coffee. My only issue is that my expectations were set a bit too high; with a name like Kicking Horse coffee I expected a strong smooth brew that tasted divine; instead I got a good, but average dark roast coffee. Don't get me wrong; it was a rich flavor, but I expected more so I was a little disappointed. Improvement wise, I would aim for more of a robust flavor and aroma, this was the only thing that let me down a little. I would recommend this coffee to anyone who is looking for a smooth, dark roast coffee to replace their current store brand or generic coffee.

I've been drinking this coffee for over a week now and all I have to say is wow. It has such a nice depth of flavor to it. Strong, but smooth and rich with a bite. I will be buying more of this brew!!

This coffee has great flavor and great taste. It is not too strong to my liking but i also don't drink black coffee I add creamer everytime. Being it's a dark coffee it has that deep flavor and I like that. Overall i really enjoyed tasteing it and wouldn't mind puchasing more of it

I decided to try a new.coffee blend because my old brew diddnt feel like it was getting the job done. I can happily say I'm glad I decided Kicking Horse 454 Horse Power! This stuff smells fantastic and brews with a velvety earthy aroma that still packs the power to get me to 5pm everyday!

This coffee is so delicious, it does not disappoint if you are looking for a very good dark roast that is not bitter. It has hints of chocolate with a smooth finish and best of all low acidity. I tried the whole beans freshly ground in a french press as a hot coffee and also freshly ground in a cold brew french press and both ways did not disappoint. I will definitely be adding this to my shopping list.

I really enjoyed the Kicking Horse dark roast coffee. I usually drink light or medium roast coffees and was surprised at how smooth this dark roast was! The coffee brews nicely in my French press, with zero bitterness. I can't drink it every day because I'm not always wanting dark coffee, but it's what I will reach for when I'm looking for a dark roast. The coffee was a little light on the caffeine and wasn't as strong as the coffee I usually buy. Overall, this is a great high quality coffee!

It is very good. I would buy it again. It has a nice flavor and it is also energizing. I usually use creamers but have been trying to slowly lessen the amount to switch to black coffee and this coffee has been easy to do that with.
