Good medium roast
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Eight O’Clock Original is a good medium roast coffee, which is probably why some reviewers gave a low rating. Most low ratings mentioned Starbucks or Peets as favorites; I haven’t tried Peets, but Starbucks is roasted too dark for me. If you like Starbucks, you might like Eight O’Clock French Roast better.
Everything you’d want for your morning coffee fix
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Eight O’Clock coffee is everything you’d want for your morning coffee fix. Reasonably priced and very pleasant. No strong flavors, except the expected coffee flavor, no after taste, just a good cup a joe. I’ll purchase this again when I finally make it through my four bags.

Coffee brand was rated highly by Consumers Reports and I bought the Columbian, Bokar Blend, and the Original. The Original was not up to the coffee I normally purchase (Starbucks) and certainly not what I had expected. The Columbian and Bokar blend are satisfactory, but not great.

I’m fairly new to drinking coffee, and I love this coffee! Everything else I’ve tasted that friends swear by is bitter. My grocery store stopped carrying it and I was desperate, and found out Amazon had it so I buy it by the 4-pack and am considering the automatic shipments to save a few bucks and some time.
Pretty Disappointed
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I like others tried this coffee on the basis of Consumer Reports recommendation so I was very disappointed with how poor I found this coffee to be. I tried these beans in a drip coffee maker and French press. It lacks any kind of body and I found I have had to use 50% more beans per brew to get any decent level of body and taste, so any hope that this would be great-tasting reasonably-priced coffee was also not to be. I bought 4 packs and am half-way through the last bag and can’t wait to be done with this bland, bland, bland coffee. (I’m obviously too cheap just to dump it)!
I also gave these beans a test in my espresso machine; forget about it! You will get zip in the way of “crema” from these beans (not that they are intended for espresso). An interesting thing I noticed when brewing the beans in my espresso maker was that the coffee stream went to very waterey very fast giving visual evidence to my taste experience of blandness.
So in a word, would I recommend these beans? An unequivocal “NO”.
Mmmm…..Wonderful Coffee!!!!

My Nonna Lucia started buying this whole bean coffee at the Grand Union under the Pelham Parkway El, MANY MANY years ago. The checkout station had a coffee grinder at the very end, so once Nonna paid for her groceries, she’d open the bag and dump the beans into the biiig grinder and flick the switch — brrrrrrrrrrrrrp….!! the beans would grind, and oh what a wonderful smell!!!
Every morning at breakfast, Nonna would set the glass percolator on our humble Bronx gas range, and brew herself a cup of 8 O’Clock Coffee. There she would sit at the kitchen table, listening to Italian operettas on Pasquale C.O.D.’s radio show, while dismembering a big chunk of Italian Bread (from Arthur Avenue), eating a soft boiled egg and regally quaffing her cuppa 8 O’Clock Coffee.
The wonderful 8 O’Clock coffee, in its wonderful whole bean-ness, is still with us. Nonna, unfortunately is not. She left the world at the age of 94, and now listens to the angels (and most probably Pasquale C.O.D. himself) singing in Heaven.
Nonna, this cup is in your memory!! * * Lifts cup, toasts Nonna Lucia, savors excellent brew flavor that brings back intense memories of a Bronx childhood and an Italian grandmother’s love * *
Overrated
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
When I saw this coffee rate top with Consumer Reports, over Dunkin’ Doughnuts and other boutique coffees, I thought I would give it a try. I like exotic starbucks and peets coffees but I am not too snooty to enjoy a can of columbian coffee from the grocery store. Dunkin Doughtnuts coffee, for example is very good.
Eight 0′Clock sucks grinds. It is a very dull, boring coffee with little to recommend it. I guess I could say that there is no off flavor like in some of the canned coffees.
Other than that, not much to say. If you are indifferent to flavor and just like the ritual of grinding and drinking hot black liquid, this might be your brand.
great coffee at a great price
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I started using this coffee because of a consumer magazine’s ratings of it; they said it was very good stuff, and lo and behold, it is. I buy from Amazon because of three main reasons: first, the price is right–shipping is free, and the price is competitive. Second, I can’t find this coffee in Northern California (where I live) as none of the grocery stores seem to carry it. Third, they automatically ship it two you at intervals you select (I started with every two months, now I’m at every three months). It’s a high quality coffee, full of flavor, and the packaging (like most of the better coffees) tends to prolong the quality. I am somewhat of a connoisseur of coffee; I grind my coffee and I use a French press to get maximum flavor. I highly recommend the coffee and buying through Amazon.com.(and no, I don’t get a percentage, this is an honest appraisal for the reasons I listed above).
Simply great coffee
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Consistently tasty coffee, and an incredible deal. Tested this versus all sorts of whole beans and Eight O’Clock is generally better and always cheaper! Only brand that has clearly surpassed it has been the local coffee roaster — but that is a high standard…

This is the only coffee I will drink. I was buying it at WalMart but for a brief time they quit carring it. I was so glad to find it on Amazon. It was about twice as expensive, but it was worth it.

Does not meet the hype
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
We bought this coffee spurred by the hype brought on by the Consumer report rating of it as being the best coffee out there. The fact that it was also much cheaper that the Peets or Starbucks whole coffee we ususally buy was also very attractive. We were however very disappointed. This coffee was neither as tasty nor as strong as either Peets or Starbucks coffee. Even the Costco brand coffee is more flavorful and stronger than this coffee. My wife is a hardcore coffee drinker armed with a french press, and I am a recreational drinker (the type to ad either cacao, sweetener or cream, or all) yet we both agreed that we’d rather spend the $3 or $4 more a bag and get either Peets or Starbucks.

Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Makes a reproducibly excellent cup of coffee day after day. I have strayed on occasion to’ gourmet’ brands, only to return to Eight o clock bean coffee.
Way better cup of coffee than Starbucks at a much cheaper price.
I use only this brand in our Jura Capresso F 7 coffee maker and wholeheartedly give it five stars!
Very good, economical coffee beans

I’ve been using Eight O’Clock coffee beans now for several years. I love the flavor in my grind and brew coffee pot. If you’re looking for a good, economical whole bean coffee, I’d recommend this one.
