I ordered 5 pounds of Ethiopia coffee beans. I am extremely disappointed in the flavour of the coffee. The beans are packaged in clear plastic bags, which exposing to light is a no-no for coffee beans, so we put those clear bags in a black garbage bag in our kitchen drawer to ensure no light gets to them. The beans don't have the l look of freshly roasted beans. They look faded and old; therefore, my coffee/espresso doesn't have the smoothness or notes that I get when I buy them in the small batch at London Drugs. I was looking at saving some money by not buying so many small batch beans, but I won't be doing that anymore.
