so you’ll have to open it to release the smell and the bag is extremely secure to the point that I had to cut it open rather than just unseal it by pulling on either side.

My very generous bag of coffee came nicely ground, and the smell is amazing

It has the stay fresh tabs that allow you to fold the open bag down and secure it shut

like having 3 smaller bags as it helps with freshness.

Though a Decaf version, the AmazonFresh Decaf Columbia coffee (excellent keeper bag) opens with a whoosh of wondrous coffee aroma.

Tastes fresh and smooth, nice large bag.

This large bag is perfect for times when you plow through the Java

The bag is really too big in my opinion, and not suitable for long term storage.

and I prefer several small bags to one large one, just in terms of keeping it fresh.

I use a little half n’half, and this cup of coffee was perfectI deducted .5 star because this was the most difficult bag to open

to make up for this sad bag.

The grind of all of these coffees I've tried has been very fine, almost sandy, which I like, and, since it's me alone, I LOVE these smaller bags

These bags give me the convenience of not having to grind -- not that it takes a lot of time, but sometimes I'm lazy.

Barring that, you may want some form of container to keep the somewhat large bag fresh

The second bag, which I also opened just before using, was noticeably stale, even a full 5 months before its best-by date.

How it smells as it's doing so.

but not as good as in a good coffee roaster/shop.

It's not insipid, and stands up to the stronger brews I prefer, as well as having enough flavor for those who prefer a weaker one.
