Overview
Kick Ass from Kicking Horse also comes pre-ground: this 10 ounce bag skips the grinder step the whole bean version requires, while keeping the same organic, Fairtrade, kosher dark roast.
This is the ground version of Kicking Horse's dark roast blend, roasted in the Canadian Rockies from 100% Arabica beans with no additives, fillers or flavoring according to the brand. Reviewer reaction leans strongly positive on smoothness and strength, with one dissenting note about body compared to pricier dark roasts.
- 10 ounce bag, pre-ground medium fine, dark roast
- Certified organic, Fairtrade and kosher
- Roasted in the Canadian Rockies from 100% Arabica beans, no fillers or additives
- Suited to French press, drip, pour over and Moka pot
Who it's for
Fits people who want a strong, smooth dark roast ready to brew straight from the bag, no grinder step required. Less suited to buyers who specifically want to grind fresh beans themselves for maximum aroma.
