Breakfast Blend by Archer Farms - Review

Review of Archer Farms Breakfast Blend

First taste:
This is supposed to be a milder roast - not even a medium roast, but it has definitely got a bite to it. My first taste of this blend has a definite bitterness to it that is very noticeable. The coffee also has a got a noticeable amount of oil on top of the finished brew. It does not have the flavor depth of a dark roast or medium roast and it is very true to what archer Farms says this roast is.

The flavor is good but it is not as excellent as some of the other coffees I have tasted and reviewed in this blog. This coffee has a smooth mouth feel and a clean finish.


The flavor of the unsweetened blend is definitely okay for the average consumer and it's good enough to keep on hand as a spare coffee in your cabinet.

I would rate this coffee about an 8.4 to 8.5 on a 10 point scale. I would not make it my main coffee just because the flavor doesn't have a great deal of depth.

Since I tend to like dark roast coffee I might be a little bit critical of this particular blend, but It isn't as impressive as some of the other archer coffees that I have drank.

You could do a whole lot worse than this particular blend. It is definitely better than some of the rank-and-file commercial coffees that are out there but it is not to be confused with the top of the top-of-the-line Starbucks, Gevalia or Seattle's Best blends. A is definitely better than traditional Folgers, Maxwell House or other coffees in that genre.

Below is a photo that has some Breakfast Blend next to Starbucks Sumatra for comparison of the roasts - note the difference in color.


Archer Farms has a lot of really nice products, including their coffees. Breakfast Blend is not one of Archer’s best coffees, but it would be good if you are on the road and all you have in a small town is a local Target store.

I hope this review has helped you in the search for that truly good cup of coffee. As always, may your next cup be your best!
