It’s pretty good, doesn’t taste like dog or roadrunner! Rich and smooth blend!My cousin brought this to us from Seaside CA. The Packaging reminds me of the old Roadrunner cartoon.![]()

Niiiiiice!!! I've been walking by that bag at Costco....I might have to reach for one next time I need coffee.Well today I filled the hopper on the Vario W with Kirkland Signature Espresso roast. It's pretty darkly roasted. A lot of glistening on the beans. So, I was not sure what I was going to expect. I recall trying this product once quite some time ago but no recollection of how it went. So, seeing how quite well roasted it is I'm amazed at how "mellow" a brew it made. Now maybe that is a testament to the high quality of the 54mm flat ceramic burr Vario W? Rather than the little Shardor inexpensive 40mm conical I'd tried it on? Also IIRC last time I tried it I did so in the Moccamaster that gave me so much trouble to get a quality brew out of. But I did this AM, an 80+ (IIRC 81.5) dose in the OXO 12 cup, and holy cow what an amazing cup! No harshness, very smooth, almost a little sweet. Honestly WAY WAY better than what I expected. Very happy!

I was truly and honestly surprised how good it is. IDK who is supplying it though.Niiiiiice!!! I've been walking by that bag at Costco....I might have to reach for one next time I need coffee.
I just bought a bag of Mayorga Cubano roast, which rarely goes on sale at Costco. The price chafes my cheap-*** a little bit, (and it's only a 2lb bag to boot), but I only drink one cup a day, and the missus is a tea drinker, so I'll get byI was truly and honestly surprised how good it is.

Yeah.....I get that. They might carry the Mayorga because they're a local company. Whenever we're out of town, and I see a Costco, we try to stop in because they have different stuff.That is one I have never seen locally. I think our Costco here being in the middle of a huge farming county has people who think we're all a bunch of backwoods dweebs out here. When I've gone into the Costcos nearer Chicago night and day differences in what is on display. Here not much variety of anything. Same at our local Sam's Club. I can count on one hand between both stores the amount of bean variety I see.
I believe it. They do those $5.00 off sales on coffee all the time. The brands vary, but I've snagged the Cubano & Muy Macho cheap a few times over the years. The Mayorga doesn't go on slale as often so, whenever I see either one on sale, I'll buy a bag, whether I need it or not. I like Starbucks French Roast too, but I'll only buy it when it's discounted, which happens a lot more than the Mayorga.My buddy has emailed me twice over the past three weeks or so saying there is Mayorga Cubano at Costco, 2 lb bag, for $12.75. Hard to believe.
