- Hey, welcome to Coffee Coffee Coffee, your choice
for Average Joe coffee reviews.
Today's coffee is Sam's Choice.
(drumming)
- Okay, so today we are reviewing
Sam's Choice Kenya AA
100% Arabica Coffee.
It's supposed to be a medium dark roast.
It's single-source.
This is a 12-ounce bag, which,
It's kind've deceptively small.
Cause' see, this is like twice the size,
what I mean is--
- The bag is bigger than the amount of coffee.
- Yes, sorry, that's what I mean.
So the bag, when I first saw this bag,
I was like, oh that's like a pound of coffee.
No, it's only 12 ounces, so it's kind've deceptive.
- Yeah it actually looks--
it looks bigger than a pound.
- Yeah, if you were to squish it down.
- But, we've tried another Kenya AA,
which was gourmet New York coffee,
and it was great.
We'll link you to the video for you to watch there.
- That was the chocolaty one, yep?
- No, their Sumatra was the chocolaty one.
- The Kenya was the peanuty one, oh, so good.
- So this, I was at Walmart today,
I don't know why I did that.
It's Christmas season and I went to Walmart,
but it was mostly older people,
pharmaceutical area was full.
I don't know what they put the toothbrushes
and the shaving things, and makeup, and all that,
all in one place, because--
- Categorically, it makes sense.
- everybody needs those items,
- Right.
- so then everybody's congregated into that one section,
- Yeah, human fellowship.
- It's terrible, no, human bumpership
cause' we always hit each other with your carts.
But anyway, so I was at Walmart,
and I saw that and I thought, hey, gonna try it.
- Yeah, single source from Mount Kenya,
which is in Kenya, in Africa.
It's a long-extinct volcano, didn't know
if you knew that or not.
- No.
- This particular one is called
the "Connoisseurs Cup," that's what they're saying
that it will be when you make a cup of coffee.
- We are not connoisseurs.
- We are not, so the largest beans are grated AA.
Hence, Kenya AA.
- Interesting, we didn't know that for the last thing.
- Yeah, and so it's supposed to have some wine-like acidity.
We like wine, so,
and it's supposed to be perfectly tempered
by sweet berry flavors.
Which reminds me of the Ethiopian coffee
has like a blueberry flavor, so, we'll see.
I mean, it was $5.99, right?
For a 12-ounce bag, so, on the cheaper end.
Not the cheapest.
- About average or a little below average, maybe.
- Mm Hmm, so we shall see.
- It does have a little beany smell,
I think.
- Yeah, maybe.
- Maybe, if I smell longer it might, actually,
kind've smell like fruit.
Maybe not, if I wish.
Well, no.
- There is um--
ugh, uh-uh, no, no,
Nope, that's enough coffee for me.
Definitely beaniness, I wonder, though,
we keep calling it beaniness, what if it's a berry flavor
that we keep--
But no, cause' the berry is something we did taste
in the Ethiopian, and it was really good.
Was that Sweetwater?
- Yeah.
- Sweetwater had the Ethiopian Coffee
and it was very good.
It did have that berry hint.
- I'm trying to, it's like--
- For science, I'm doing this.
- Mhm, so we can really give you
the flavor that we're tasting anyway.
I can't figure it out.
- Yeah, it's a...
- It's like it starts kind've cardboard-ish,
but then, after it goes down, that's gone.
So, I don't know what--
- Yeah, it's like, when it first hits me,
it's like, oh that's not very good, and then it's like,
for a second I'm like oh, well maybe it's not so bad,
and then it's like, oh no that's not good.
- Yeah, it has like an intermediate,
interm, inter, inter, inter
- Intermediate?
- Intermediate flavor, it's got three different ones.
- Yeah and so it starts bad
- The second ones like, wait, okay maybe that's--
And then the third one tells you not
to drink any more of it.
- It finishes, not nicely.
And, there's a bug in my cup, so,
I'm definitely done.
- Perfect fitting and--
- So, I'm done.
- So, if you're at Walmart and you're thinking,
hey, this looks interesting because its,
different, it says Kenya, Kenya AA,
looks kinda like they did extra work
to make it nice and good.
- Also, handy feature, this ziplock bag.
- I will say, that's great.
So many of the companies they put that little black
strip on there, and it falls off.
- Yeah, and it doesn't seal, you know?
You've got little squishy thing,
like where it pushes all the air out,
cause' the little hole, but then you all these big gaps
- And then the vacuum sucks it back up.
So, other companies take note:
this, now maybe Walmart can afford to do that,
and put out the bad coffee,
but this a nice little feature here.
- Yeah.
- If I were to give it a donut rating,
what would we say, like on a scale of one to five?
- Um, one and a half?
(laughs)
- Yeah, yes, one and a half.
She keeps trying to force these halves on me, so,
we're gonna concede and say one and a half
because it wasn't as bad as
the one-donut ratings we've had,
and it wasn't as good as the two, so,
we'll have to say one and a half on that.
- One and a half.
- Let us know if you try it or something like that.
- Or if you've tried other Sam's Choice's.
- Yeah, cause' there were four or five of them there
that I'm sure we'll try.
- I'm sure we will.
We try all the coffees.
- We do it for you.
- Yes we do.
- So, let us know in the comments if you try it
or if you'd like us to try something else, right?
- Yep.
- Anything else?
- Nope.
- Alright, until next time.
- Keep grindin'.
