What is the roast level? Blonde, medium or dark? What is the expiration date? Thank you.

Medium roast. Expiration is February 27, 2014. It was too sweet and buttery for my taste.

Best used by June 3 2014 date. Roast is a heavy medium--not as dark as standard Starbucks but darker than blonde

Mine shipped from Starbucks direct via Amazon - Bought in October - my last box says 2/27/2014 There is no brew strength on the box - but I would say blonde - I don't like Starbucks Pikes coffee straight - too strong . I love this and like the Blonde.

Roast is a blonde, and I am already through mine, it wasn't close to the expiration date.

Dear "L", I do not know the percentage of coffee to the sweet cream added to the pumpkin spice, the base coffee is 100% Arabica coffee. How that rates as medium or strong or dark roast I have no idea, however there is a phone #for more information at Green Mountain Coffee 1-888-879-4627, or you can continue on-line @ GreenMountainCoffee.comLuck to you and let me know what you find out in your comparisons...I've already finished off the cocoa so I don't have the box to gain any information for you there. Sincerely, B Seawright

Hi I did not know the expiration date prior to purchase, but I suspected it was about 2-3 months based on other reviews that I read. My box had a 3 month expiration date and was plenty of time for 2 people to use during a 2 week cross-country drive. The product never went bad and we enjoyed fresh cream in our coffee every day!

There is no expiration date from what I can see on the can. I use my four 8oz cans within 3 months and have had no issues. It is great coffee.

I really can't remember what the expiration date was, but I do remember the coffee was fresh, I purchased this for my husband and he loved it so much he has purchased several flavors in a larger 12 ounce package. He was able to determine which ones he really liked by purchasing this sampler.

Here is what it says on the bag, "The ORIGINAL" 'Our oldest and most iconic roast. From Latin America to East Africa. our Master Roasters carefully search the world for premium 100% Arabica beans. Medium roasted to deliver sweet and fruity notes with a well balanced finish.' Sorry about the 'Arabica' but that's all that is on the package.

I've roasted over a hundred batches with the FR SR500 and although there is a caramel/burnt sugar smell afterwards, I've not had much smoke. It is a good idea to roast under a kitchen hood to help eliminate the smell, but I don't even turn on the fan anymore as we've gotten used to the smell. Can you tell me about your roast:Are you new to roasting? How dark did your beans get? Did you reach second crack? How long did you roast?

Not sure if it's the expiration date but this product darkens in color when it gets old. Fresh product is butter color

There is a "best before" date on the back of the bag. I have used mine after this date, it is probably not as fresh, but still good. The grounds do have a lighter appearance as they age. Still very tasty, though.

We buy the Kick Ass Dark but I assume the beans are about the same. It takes us about 3 weeks to use an entire bag making one pot of coffee a day. We just keep the beans we are using in a metal tin and what doesn't fit in the tin we keep in the bag folded over with a clip in the cabinet. I can say we have never had a batch that isn't fresh.

I love the medium, Patti. It's called Three Sisters and is a delicious blend. If you like very strong coffee, go with the dark. Hope you like it! BH

On the black side of the k cup there is a date. I just brought some and the expiration date is 6/2014. Need to hold under light and turn the cup and you will see the date. I just brought over 300 k cups from amazon in August. I brought them for me and for my granddaughters who are in college. I have been buying all my kcups from Amazon.com and really never had an issue with any of the coffee I brought. The pricing is great and the coffee is even better. This coffee is darker and richer and I love favor.

Mine just died this week after a year of pretty regular use for coffee roasting. I roasted probably 0.5 lb every other weekend. Light roasts, about 4-6mins/per batch x 4-6 batches. Not as long as I'd hoped but not horrible for <$30.

It is regular - not bold. I also have The Original House Donut Shop and that is medium roast - extra bold. This is also very good. Enjoy both.

Hi Jerry, We have expiration dates on the bags of Coffee Fool coffee if you buy directly from Amazon. If you buy through Amazon and we ship it out the coffee is roasted and shipped out within a few days. (Same if you buy direct from us of course) We have customers that prefer to freeze their coffee if it will be a while until they will use it. But is also keeps well in the unopened bag for a few weeks. So I do recommend you buy direct or through Amazon with us fulfilling your order. Thanks, The Coffee Fool

I was getting the French Roast through S&S; and has gone well for several months. I love the coffee. They just notified me though that they were switching it out for Columbian as FR no longer available with S&S.; Columbian is a medium roast, so I'm pretty bummed. I think I'm going to try the Original instead. It doesn't say if it is light, medium or dark. But many good reviews. Bottom line - I like the S&S; option to get another 15% off of products I use frequently, but they switch out what is available just often enough to be a bit frustrating, but not often enough to turn me off.
