Community’s BEST blend. Epic!
IMHO this is Community’s best blend. Deep rich coffee flavor with just the right brightness which is what sets it apart for me. NOT a smokey burned roast flavor like some French roast. I’m way picky about my coffee...I roast my own green coffee beans with a Behmor 1600+ Roaster using the world’s best micro lot coffees and I would be extremely proud to call this blend mine. A recent recipe change by Community Coffee removed the chicory they once had in this blend. So if you WANT chicory you can buy their ground roasted 100% chicory like I do and mix it in yourself. I’ve found a number of Community blends that I like very much, each good in their own way. But New Orleans Special is just exactly perfect.

My Favorite Coffee...Period
There might be some micro lot Kenya coffees that I would prefer...for 3-4 times the cost. Plus, I roast my own regularly, and I’m very picky about my coffee. And for the rest of the 99.9% of available already roasted coffees out there...IMHO this blend is the best. Perfect combination of deep rich flavor with nice brightness. It’s a real shame that some customers give this a 2/5 rating because they didn’t read the description or brewed it too strong for their taste. That seems more like “operator error” and not the fault of the coffee. This is STELLAR coffee.

Whaddaya mean I can’t give it 6 stars?
I bought this as a six pack during an insane sale. Aside from the typically great prices on Community Coffee this blend scores with its slightly more brisk profile. I roast my own green beans...from all over the world...in a nice Behmor 1600+ Roaster...and I would be proud to claim this blend as mine. It reminds me more of a clean Kenya than other Community blends. I haven’t found a blend here that I don’t like and I won’t drink standard grocery store coffee...they are that much better. And to me this is brighter and is the best. Like all Coffee’s the cup profile of these blends depends greatly on the water to grounds ratio - so experiment a bit to get it tuned just right. You will be glad you did.

This is now my favorite coffee. It tastes like the way coffee smells. Full bodied, rich, extremely smooth.

Our New Favorite is the New Orleans Blend
We've been drinking the Dark Roast for years. We share a pot among four coworkers. The interest in trying something new was low, but we really enjoy the switch to the New Orleans Blend. It has more specific / defined flavors and attributes than the others we have tried. We're not aficionados by any means but this coffee now has taken the lead in "first pot" for us.

Love the New Orleans Blend!!
I first purchased this a few months back and it is always sold out at most of the stores I shop at so I decided to start ordering it online. The 20 oz was a super bonus for me!! Win Win!! The flavor is the best of all the coffees.

Just as great as ever!
We hadn't realized you still had the New Orleans Blend, but had removed the chicory. We loved it with the chicory, but it's still our favorite. We'll continue to order from Community online as long as we drink coffee.

Delicious!
Really enjoy this coffee! It is my new everyday choice, smooth and flavorful.
Love the larger bag option. I’ve been buying community coffee for years and was partial to between roast blend but glad I made the switch to the darker roast.
