Smart Ass

icking Horse Coffee Smart Ass Medium Roast is a standout choice for anyone who appreciates a smooth, easy-drinking cup of coffee. The flavor is well-balanced,rich without being overpowering, and it goes down incredibly smooth with no harsh aftertaste. It has just the right amount of brightness to keep it interesting, while still being mellow enough for everyday drinking. The aroma is inviting, and the whole beans grind nicely for a fresh, consistent brew. Overall, it’s a great coffee that delivers quality and flavor without being too bold or too mild, definitely one I’d keep coming back to.

This coffee is ranked very high among coffee experts for good reason. It has amazing notes chocolate and cherry, is very smooth but bold. I've tried several highly rated specialty coffees but this blend from Kicking Horse is far and away my favorite. At first I thought it was my imagination but every time I come back to this coffee it has such a distinct and very pleasant flavor profile. It's not the cheapest so I drink it more as a treat, but I think that makes it all the more special and enjoyable

I'm certainly not a coffee connoisseur. I've been trying to find my favorite bean for morning lattes and mochas ever since upgrading to a "real" espresso machine, a Lelit Mara, earlier this year. I've gone through a small handful of beans so far, and this Smart Ass coffee is among the best. I normally go for a bean from a local roaster but if it isn't conveniently available (I live pretty rurally and it's often easier to order from Amazon than it is to go to "town") I'll get adventurous and try some new stuff. Kicking Horse seemed well reviewed so I gave it a chance and the Smart Ass seemed to be the most like my preferred flavor profile. It's a solid medium roast so it's not bitter or earthy. It's what I might call "balanced"; it's bright and a bit chocolaty. It's not subtle and it's not aggressive. It's just a really nice smooth middle-of-the-road taste. I might try some others from these guys. I only recently learned that Kicking Horse's parent company is Lavazza, a hugely popular Italian coffee company. What this means for their beans and product, I don't know, but Kicking Horse isn't the small company it might appear to be. Still, it's good stuff, a bit on the expensive side but it's organic and fair-trade. I'd buy it again. In fact I'll probably do that now, I just remembered I emptied the last of the bag.

Kicking horse coffee overall makes great coffee and everyone I’ve tried so far has great flavor. It’s become my new favorite! Use it in my espresso machine at home and has smooth bold flavor without any harshness or acidity.

I have tried a LOT of different whole beans for cold brew coffee. These beans are by bar the best I have ever used. I use 5 ounces of beans in an OXO Compact cold coffee brewer, 24 ounces of water (as recommended by OXO) and steeped for 16 house. When finished I add 5 ounces of the concentrate to 1n 18 ounce insulated cup, 1/3 full of ice. I fill the remainder of the cup with cold water. I then add 6 drops of liquid Stevia for some sweetness, The stevia doesn’t cover the flavor of the coffee up (which is smooth and wonderful) just sweetens it a little. I understand that coffee taste is very subjective, but I think most picky cold brew drinkers will love this stuff, sweetener of not. Good news is; it’s $4.00+ less than Star Bucks, and one heck of a lot better tasting (at least for me). Try it…. You’ll like it! :)

This coffee in my opinion, is weak in flavor, it has no strong robust flavor as coffee should have.... Buy at your own risk.

the cooffee is good. the delivery was very good...but as usual the very skimpy amazon shipping packaging was not good and only provided some scratch protection.

Delicious coffee! Great value product!

What an excellent brew these beans make! Love everything about this bag of beans from start to dripped. Now WHO'S THE REAL SMARTASS?!?!??! ME ME ME ME ME!

Good coffee at a good price. Excellent!!!!!!

A very mild coffee brew, takes getting use to.
