Guatemala Bella Carmona Antigua Guatemala: Bella Carmona, Antigua

My absolutely favorite daily blend. This is a simple daily reminder that life is good, roasting great beans is worthwhile and a great French Press brew is the best way to start the day. I just bought another 25 lbs. to enrich my life and help me remember to thank God for microclimates, moisture and soil that produce such beans. I’m going to stop now, because I’m afraid you’ll raise the price, or your supply will be depleted. Coffee Bean Corral has become my go-to supplier for beans. Always reliable, providing what they accurately describe. I have yet to be surprised, or disappointed by them; which after years of spotty, hit-and-miss quality from other vendors is so satisfying.

Very good bean! Nice balance. It's just a good, full, rich flavor. I've been a light roast guy till I got my own roaster from CBC, but now I'm loving the medium to darker roasts better. I roasted this just barely into 2nd Crack, about 8 minutes on my SR800 till I shifted to cool down mode. I think I didn't like darker roasts before this because of the charcoal stuff from Starbucks. lol. There is a limit to "dark". This bean is worth buying again. I got in a Guatemala Sample Pack. CBC has super good service and it's very fast. Good folks there.

We love variety, so I normally roast 2 different lbs. of coffee each week. Last week it was CBC's Mocha Java Blend and this one, Guatemala Bella Carmona Antigua. We make one pot of one and the next pot of the other. I love them both, but at the end of the week, we ran out of the Guatemalan, before the other. I think it safe to say which one we liked better over the other with this particular pairing. African coffees and South American coffees are both just unique as each coffee is from all the separate areas (countries). Guatemalan has long been a favorite and have not had any in awhile. This was just a beautiful coffee in my nostrils when roasting. It is flavorful and has a nice taste of satisfaction lingering in the mouth. A well selected coffee CBC, well done! Would definitely order again!

WOW! Now this is an excellent coffee! Super rich tasting and well balanced. Chocolate notes and also a nutty finish. Very rich tasting....everyone LOVES this coffee!

The coffee has a slight bitter note, but full bodied. It is on the stronger side and definitely has a high caffeine content. Would Buy again.

Received in Guatamalan sample pack during 22% off sale, this is probably my new favorite, replacing the La Flor del Cafe. Roasted to City+. Wonderful aroma just fills the house. It's even smoother, creamier and more milk chocolatey. Taste coats your mouth and stays there for a while. Just outstanding!

This has been my daily brew for years, it’s so good that I’m afraid to let the secret out. This marvelously complex coffee is an integral component to the quality of my life and a gray fog would likely mask my morning world without it. Please don’t increase demand and drive up the price. It would increase the number of grumpy old people hunting me down, because I released the truth about this secret elixir.

This offers me an alternative to my regular Ethiopian coffee, and it is a wonderful cup. Roasted in my Behmor 1600 to the start of 2nd crack, I find this a very enjoyable way to start my day.

If you get the roast right this is impressive coffee roasted long to get into 2nd crack pulling at 430F as a dark medium. I have never had Guatemalan coffee bought pre roasted this good. Great flavor to the last drop.

Great for espresso. Originally bought these beans already roasted from a well known roaster. Decided to seek it out and roast for myself and couldn't be happier. We primarily roast for espresso, took it to 2nd crack as others have mentioned with very nice profile. I'll also agree, a minimum of 3 days to off gas made all the difference. Would highly recommend.

Really like this coffee. Roasted just shy of the 2nd crack. This is fast becoming a regular morning treat, with just a touch of Italian Sweet Cream.- French Press style. Highly recommend.

Really nice coffee. As of this minute, I'm drinking a cup made in my French press. Nothing not to love about this bean. Just buy some.

Will be reordering this coffee over and over again. It is a great cup of coffee roasted at any level! It is perfectly balanced and great body.

Excellent cup of coffee!! Roasted FC in my Behmor 1600+ AB (from CBC), rested/degassed 5 days, brewed drip in my Brazen Plus & immediate reaction was creamy buttery chocolate ... all the way to taking that last gulp of cooled coffee (which I NEVER do) before refilling, 2nd cup was the same - buttery chocolate to the cooled end -delicious. Glad that I bought 10#, will definitely reorder!!

As a gift I received a sampler pack with 16 varietals. Though I liked them all, this is my favorite. I’ll still try other varieties (the joy is in the hunt) but I like this enough to get 5 lbs. Mmm.

I'm not a coffee sophisticate, I just want a good rich cup that has no bitterness. I've been roasting for 10 years and went through all kinds of beans looking for something better than the last. But, in this Guat. bean, I have the good cup for a good price. BTW, I use a moka pot with espresso grind at 60gm/L.

Great service - I love this coffee, especially the hint of chocolate

This is an outstanding coffee with no single mistake in aroma, flavor or after taste. one of my favorite. thanks from Saudi Arabia Coffee Bean Corral.
