Gevalia House Blend Medium Roast Ground Coffee - 12oz

I received this brand of coffee in the past in a subscription service that I have with this particular company. I remember drinking this particular brand in my early twenties when I just started my career in public service and I had to have a couple morning coffee before I head to work. This was so flavorful that I was able to enjoy two cups of this particular brand. Since then, I have now lessened my cup usage and only drink one cup a day. It's mainly an iced coffee and this brand of coffee never disappoints me. It has so much flavor that I think it would be used best in a hot Brew application. I have not tried it in a cold brew application however, I think it would be exceptionally well if put in that type of environment.

Packaging is great and keeps coffee fresh. Great value for your money. Smells very rich and fresh. Flavor is nice and bold and brewing instruction are easy to follow.

Excellent coffee - extremely tasty!! Gevalia used to be an exclusive order only coffee-but it’s so good to have it in stock at Target!! Yum!!

I absolutely love the aroma from this coffee, and the taste is delicious! It really wakes me up in the morning! It's a great value for your money indeed!

Many years ago, I purchased Gevalia coffee because I remember as teen my Mom had the Gevalia canister and subscribed to their mail-delivery coffee. It wad great tasting coffee back in the day. So, about ten years ago, I, too, started buying it, since our local store had it. But then my store stopped carrying the whole bean, and the ground version was too fine for a Chemex or pour-over coffee process, so I stopped buying it. A few weeks ago, I saw Target had Gevalia, and decided to try a bag. OMG. What did they do to this coffee? I tried brewing it several different ways (Hario pour-over, automatic drip, Chemex) and it was horribly bitter every time. I even adjusted the water temperature and brew time (reducing both) to try to compensate for the powdered-sugar texture grind of the coffee. Nothing worked. I ended up mixing what was left with another coffee, which made it tolerable. Still, I could taste the bitterness. I don't know if they are using a cheaper bean or mixing fillers in with their beans, but it is God-awful now. I won't be buying another bag.

I’ve been buying Gevalia for 30+ years back to the days when they used to advertise in magazines and sell it mail order. I’ve tried other brands including other premium brands like the Italian brand, illy, but I always find myself going back to Gevalia. It is very full bodied owing to the fine grind, but very smooth at the same time. It fills the house with a delicious aroma when it’s brewed too. I like to blend it with equal parts of Target’s Caramel Macchiato three heaping scoops of each to 2 3/4 cups of water that produces a strong espresso strength brew that I add to hot milk and half and half. It’s insanely good!! (If I do say so myself ;). But every one of my guests that have had it basically swoon over it too! It’s pretty much the best home brewed coffee you can get, it’s very reasonably priced in relation to how good it is, and I hope it’s available forever.

Tastes like the overcooked coffee that would be offered for free somewhere. Has the aroma of decaf. Too finely ground. Target app suggested this as a backup and they have no business calling it “medium-dark” when dark is mentioned nowhere on the packaging.

Great coffee and very smooth!

My favorite to make drip coffee at home. It has the right balance between bitterness and flavor. Rich aroma, not heavy, smooth and delicate. As for the price, I get it on sale, so good value for money.

Very smooth tasting coffee. No bitterness.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried this Gevalia coffee and really liked it. Smooth and not bitter. Definitely recommend you give it a try! #ThePerfectCup #Gevalia #GevaliaKaffe #GEVALIAxInfluenster #complimentary #contest @Influenster @influenster.eats @gevaliakaffe

So far this is my go-to coffee. It smells amazing as soon as you open the bag, and the grounds are the right size for my expresso machine

I have been using Gevalia house blend for 23 yrs... still using the free coffee maker I got from my first order. The formula has changed about a month ago, it tastes like any other cheaper brand, very bitter, almost a course grind and the scent is offensive. I don't mind paying more for what I want, but when what I want is not what I'm getting,.. I'm very very disappointed 😔

From a fellow coffee lover: i love the smell of this coffee. Made me quit starbucks. Smells and tastes delicious. Must try

Gevalia House Blend is really the best bagged coffee to use if you HAVE to use a coffee maker. It is less acidic than other pre-ground blends, has a fuller body, and tastes better in this preparation. It also holds up well to cream and flavored creamers. If you are not using a French press or pour over, spend the extra few bucks for this brand and thank me later!

Gevalia truly is the best coffee brand you can buy in the store. The flavors are elevated and they taste is always smooth. The House Blend is great black. It’s smooth, balanced, and rich. It’s more expensive than others but worth it.

Great tasting, rich coffee!

We've been drinking the Gevalia medium house blend for years, and love it. I was glad to see Target has it available to order @ their .com, of which I am a regular customer.

Highly recommend! Subtle hints of chocolately notes.

While shopping for coffee, I saw this and thought I'd try something different! If you don't like very strong coffee, then I recommend this for you to try! It has a very nice, smooth, medium roast blend! I'm enjoying every cup, and have about enough left for 2 more full pots to make!
