Blind Assessment: The reader who nominated this canned supermarket coffee describes it as "not a harsh acid coffee. The taste comes through. Try it." I did, and found it a good though not great medium-roasted Colombia coffee: robustly acidy with decent complementing sweetness, full- bodied, but with little complexity or nuance. I agree that the acidity is not "harsh," but I did find it just a shade too overbearing and perhaps a touch sour. Notes: MJB is a venerable American coffee brand now owned by Sara Lee.

Who Should Drink It: Those drinkers of the classic, medium-roasted American breakfast cup who discover that every specialty coffee in their neighborhood has been dark-roasted. This is by no means the finest medium-roasted Latin American coffee in the world, but lovers of the old-time American breakfast cup should enjoy it, plus it's inexpensive and easy to chuck into the cart with the rest of the week's shopping. And any canned 100% Colombia coffee is better than almost any other canned coffee on the shelf. |

Coffee, more so than wine, is a continually changing product. Recent reviews, whether written by Coffee Review or readers, are most likely to reflect current versions of a given coffee.
