The Bean Coffee Company Review and Giveaway

Review by Angela Mackintosh

Writing and coffee are the perfect companions! There’s nothing like a buzzy cup of coffee to get your story wheels churning.

This year, I’ve been focusing on building a daily writing habit, with the goal of finishing a first novel draft by December. Every morning I brew a pot of coffee from my regular drip coffee maker because it’s quick and easy, and get to work. I like dark roasts and drink my coffee black, except for a scoop of collagen powder, so the coffee’s flavor has to be spectacular.

Today, I’m thrilled to share my review of the organic coffee crafted by The Bean Coffee Company, which has just become my favorite coffee brand. We also have a discount code and a giveaway!

Why I love The Bean Coffee Company

Buying organic food is important to me. The Bean Coffee Company uses organic, natural Arabica coffee beans, certified by the USDA and CCOF (California Certified Organic Farmers). This means it’s free of pesticides and artificial fertilizers. Organic coffee has a wonderful taste, and many health benefits. It’s high in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, which boost the immune system. I can taste the difference between their coffee and non-organic, and I feel good knowing that I’m drinking chemical-free pure coffee.

As a Southern California native, I love supporting local businesses. The Bean Coffee Company is a family-owned business based out of Oceanside, California. At their facility, they carefully roast their arabica coffee beans in small batches by hand. Their high-quality coffee is a testament to their twenty-five years of roasting experience, and it tastes delicious.

What I Thought About Their Coffee

I tried their Organic Le Bean ~ Dark Roast Coffee, and immediately I noticed how clean and flavorful it tastes. Opening the bag releases an intoxicating bittersweet almost-chocolatey scent. After grinding the dark shiny beans and running them through my drip coffee maker, I drink it black. The coffee tastes smooth and rich, a little toasty and decadent, with a slightly nutty flavor. It’s not bitter or zingy like some dark roasts can get, and it gives me plenty of energy to start my morning writing session. After two sips of coffee, I put pen to paper and can feel the sparks fly between plot and character ideas.

The one-pound bag is 16 ounces and you get a lot of cups for a great price. It’s $14.99 on their site or you can buy it on Amazon, and you have the choice of ground or whole bean. I tried both and they are equally wonderful! They have a wide variety of flavors—everything from seasonal pumpkin spice and mocha java to hazelnut and vanilla—and I’ve heard their decaf is fantastic, too. I just ordered some for my partner, who loves the flavor of coffee but can’t have the caffeine. He also can’t have gluten and will appreciate that their coffee is gluten-free. Lately, we’ve been enjoying hot beverages around the firepit at our ranch, and I can’t wait to try the decaf under the stars.

Before this, I’d been a Peet’s coffee fan for years, since a friend of mine managed their San Francisco shop and would send me some periodically. In between shipments, I’d also pick up a bag of Kirkland coffee at Costco. The Bean Coffee Company’s roasts are hands down tastier and smoother than the other two! I also like that their bag is resealable, which was a problem with the Kirkland coffee that I always had to tape and clip shut. So now that I’ve found my new go-to, I’d love to share some with you.
