Oneillcoffee Reviews 2

Great coffee, although the staff wasn't very friendly. I stood at the counter waiting to ask a question, 6 employees ignored me until I finally stopped one of them. I may order online, but won't go back to the store.

This review is of the O'Neill Coffee Bananas Foster flavored whole bean coffee.
This coffee was purchased at O'Neill coffee which is a roaster located in West Middlesex Pennsylvania. A 12/ounce bag was $10.99. The coffee was whole bean and came in a familiar mylar/foil re-sealable bag with the standard de-gassing valve. The expiration date was 8 months in the future. Upon opening the bag the air filled with the delightful fragrance of caramel. The bag stated 100% Arabica beans but gave no indication of country of origin. I assume it is a blend with flavoring added. This was a whole bean coffee and the beans seemed.to be of a high quality with no noticeable defects.
I ground 40 grams of coffee to medium and brewed it with 1 liter of filtered water. The room filled with the aroma of coffee and caramel it was very pleasant.
The package claimed tasting notes of banana and brown sugar. What I got was nutty caramel and brown sugar but no banana.
Upon cupping the aroma of coffee was slightly masked by caramel. Tasting the coffee there was the nutty taste of coffee In the background brown sugar and caramel, I did not get any banana flavors. Adding some half and half made this coffee quite enjoyable. I imagine if I had whipped some froth onto the half and half I would have had one of those fancy barista drinks or start off black over ice add some whole milk and a dollop of ready whip and viola another coffee shop drink.
While I can not see me drinking this coffee on a regular basis it was a very nice change of pace. I give this coffee a 4 out of 5 star rating and recommend it to anyone looking for a good flavored coffee.
