Question 1

why did the price increase more than double from my last order?

Accepted Answer

The higher price listed over $12.99 is when Tim Hortons is out of stock and the other seller (not Tim Hortons) is set as the default seller. For some reason amazon runs out of stock and then after a few weeks its back. I always order 4 bags at a time so I don't run out. I really wish they had a subscribe and save agreement with Tim Hortons. After switching to Eight O'Clock beans for a number of months, I found that Sam's Club carries this 2pound Tim Horton's product in their stores for $12.88 per bag. Check their website to see if it's available to you locally.

Question 2

Is this stuff supposed to taste different than the fine grind? My sister received a bag of fine grind for Christmas that was from Canada. It didn't look like the tins on here and had Christmas winter pictures on the side. It tasted a bit different, with more of a smooth flavor on the tongue. I'm not sure if it was beca…

Trevor,I am a proud Canadien and American.  I lived 16 years in Canada and know Tim Hortons very well.Tim Hortons has 3 grades of coffee and that is why sometimes the coffee taste different.As for these beans, it well depend on how much you grind it as well as the amount of beans you use.  Always fresh grind right before brewing, keep the coffee in the freezer and most important once it done brewing, dump the filter.The beans I find is top grade and this is what I do.  I find the coffee has a nice round and smooth flavour.  I am picky about coffee and drink it black.  Also, I use crusinart coffee maker because it brews slower.  The slower the brew the better the taste.  Plus if the burner is to high, it will burn the coffee.I hope this helps and sorry about the long winded answer-

Question 3

what is the roast level?

Accepted Answer

They call it medium, but as some have mentioned it seems to give you some aspects of lighter and darker roasts at the same time. Has an earthy taste, but a bit of a “green” light roast taste too.

What you get will depend a lot on how finely you grind it, what brewing method you use, and how much coffee you use per cup though. I ground it a little finer than usual for a pour over, since it’s medium roast, then brewed a pour over with 2 tbsp per 8pm water. This resulted in the earthy plus “greenish” taste combo without much bitterness or sourness.
