Review: Smooth, Bold, and Perfectly Balanced – My Favorite Everyday Espresso - Kicking Horse Coffee has earned a permanent place in my kitchen. I’ve tried countless espresso blends over the years, but this one strikes the perfect balance of smoothness, richness, and aroma. The flavor is bold without being bitter. It's a complex mix of chocolate, fruit, and roasted depth that tastes like something you’d get from a specialty café. What really stands out compared to other coffees I’ve bought on desertcart is its consistency. Every bag I’ve ordered has been fresh, aromatic, and evenly roasted, which says a lot about Kicking Horse’s quality control. Whether I use it in my espresso machine or French press, it produces a thick, velvety crema and a satisfying cup every single time. It’s also worth mentioning that this coffee is organic and fair trade, which makes it an easy choice ethically as well as flavor-wise. For anyone who enjoys café-quality coffee at home, Cliff Hanger Espresso delivers a premium experience without the café markup. Great color and good acidity too. Review: Great for espressos, macchiatos & cappucinos, a little weak for lattes - The short & sweet: Pros: good quality, fresh beans. Con: might be too sweet for people that like espresso I am a big espresso fan and usually aim to try new flavors out there. Kicking Horse has been always on my mind when purchasing beans but I can't recall the last time I actually did. So, when I ran out of my personal batch, I decided to give them a try. I love medium roasts, although most of the ones I get are usually light because I prefer the bitter/acidity taste for my specialty drinks (mix with milk). Nevertheless, I wanted to try the Cliff Hanger medium roast and see if I would like it. Beans: the beans are oily and fresh in the packaging, and smell delicious Espresso: straight up pulled shot, the Cliff Hanger is aromatic and gives off (to me & my nose) a light taste of dark chocolate. It is sweet to the taste and acidity levels are minimum. Macchiato: I think this is where this bean shines! A macchiato with the Kicking Horse tastes heavenly! There is a sweet spot for any bean and I think this is it! Cappuccino: I do enjoy sweet cappuccinos, but do have to say the coffee is a little distant in this mixture Latte: I feel like this blend is too "smooth" for lattes and gets lost in the milk Overall: I think the Kicking Horse is a great bean if you want to use it for espressos, macchiatos or cappuccino. If you are an avid latte drinker and like the coffee taste, this might be on the lighter side for you. ## Features - TASTING NOTES: Silky and complex, wild berry syrup with a smooth cocoa finish. - ROAST: Medium - ROASTED IN THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS: It’s all deep, dark and delicious, roasted right below the towering Canadian Rocky Mountain peaks - AROMA: Blackcurrant, milk chocolate and brown sugar. - ORGANIC, FAIRTRADE, KOSHER, SHADE GROWN, ARABICA COFFEE: Coffee that is good and fair for the coffee drinkers, the farmers and the planet. 100 percent Certified - ORIGIN INDONESIA, CENTRAL & SOUTH AMERICA: Grown in a socially and environmentally responsible way, by farmers with sustainable businesses they can depend on - RECOMMENDED BREW METHOD: French Press, Drip, Pour Over, and Espresso ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0027Z7KN6 | | Age Range Description | 12 to 24 Months | | Allergen Information | Nut Free | | Best Sellers Rank | #9,204 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #101 in Roasted Coffee Beans | | Brand | Kicking Horse | | Brand Name | Kicking Horse | | Caffeine Content Description | Caffeinated | | Certificate Type | Nut Free | | Coffee Blend Name | Cliff Hanger Espresso | | Coffee Roast Level | Medium Roast | | Coffee Type | Coffee Bean | | Container Type | Bag | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 2,870 Reviews | | Diet Type | Kosher | | Each Unit Count | 35.2 | | Flavor | Cliff Hanger Espresso - Medium Roast | | Item Dimensions | 11.8 x 11.8 x 10.1 inches | | Item Form | Whole Bean | | Item Package Weight | 1.03 kg | | Item Volume | 35.2 fluid ounces | | Item Weight | 2.2 pounds | | Liquid Contents Description | Beverage Type Not Listed | | Manufacturer | Kicking Horse Coffee | | Model Number | 629070700049 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 12 | | Package Information | Bag | | Part Number | 629070700049 | | Roast Level | Medium Roast | | Size | 35.2 Ounce (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | Organic | | Sweetness Description | sweet | | UPC | 629070710048 | | Unit Count | 35.2 Ounce | | Variety | Arabica | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Kicking Horse - **Caffeine Content Description:** Caffeinated - **Flavor:** Cliff Hanger Espresso - Medium Roast - **Item Form:** Whole Bean - **Roast Level:** Medium Roast ## Images ![Coffee, Cliff Hanger Espresso, Medium Roast, Whole Bean, 2.2 Pound - Certified Organic, Fairtrade, 35.2 Ounce - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61b7JL2ww-L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can I use these beans in my Breville Barista Express with attached conical burr grinder (BES870XL) or will they ruin it with how oily they are?** A: I didn’t know this was an issue. I have the same machine and same coffee and haven’t had a problem in six months of ownership. You think they made a burr that can’t handle oily beans?? **Q: To those of you who didn't like this roast, can you please recommend something that you like better?** A: I've tried 3 roasts from Kicking Horse, Three Sisters was spot on if you like bold flavor but smoother roast. Beans appear to be perfect blend of dark & medium colors. **Q: Is this for espresso machines brewing only?** A: No, I use it in my drip coffee maker and it's wonderful. **Q: Is the dark roast good for french press?** A: That's why a dark roast is often called French roast, it's made for a French press! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smooth, Bold, and Perfectly Balanced – My Favorite Everyday Espresso *by M***M on October 7, 2025* Kicking Horse Coffee has earned a permanent place in my kitchen.

After years of Lavazza, to which I have been devoted, flirtations with Illy, roasters in NYC, North Carolina, and beans shipped straight from the source, I've found a sane, balanced, bold, not bitter, full espresso coffee that is affordable and made by a smaller company. Amazing. It works in a stovetop coffee maker (Bialetti) and it is particularly gorgeous in my Delonghi 702, producing a rich crema, dense flavor, smooth. Wow. Oily beans? Well, I guess they are a little oily, but no more than a Lavazza, Gaggia, or Illy bean... I've had NO trouble grinding (and I don't have a fancy burr grinder) to a mid-espresso grind, tamps well...it's running through the machine just fine...don't over grind or over tamp especially with an entry level 15BAR machine. Seriously, I just don't think it gets much better. November 2013.... But....after a year of drinking and enjoying this, I'm beginning to miss the bite of Arabica bean...or something. The roast may have been getting lighter in the past 6 months. Did they change bean type or source? Are they roasting lighter? It looks like they have but frankly, I don't know. It's still a good value but I've just ended my subscription for this in favor of a local coffee roaster. If I had to depend on what was here on Amazon, I'd likely go back to Cafe Espresso by Lavazza...or Illy if you can afford it. But I like knowing where my beans come from and like talking to my roaster...so goodbye Kicking Horse, it's been fun. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kicking Horse Coffee, Cliff Hanger Espresso, Medium Roast, Whole Bean, 2.2 Pound - Certified Organic, Fairtrade, 35.2 Ounce - Kicking Horse Coffee, Three Sisters, Medium Roast, Whole Bean, 2.2 Pound - Certified Organic, Fairtrade, Kosher Coffee - Kicking Horse Coffee, Swiss Water Process, Whole Bean, 2.2 Pound - Organic Whole Bean Coffee Decaffeinated --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/1340959-coffee-cliff-hanger-espresso-medium-roast-whole-bean-2-2](https://www.desertcart.in/products/1340959-coffee-cliff-hanger-espresso-medium-roast-whole-bean-2-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-09-01*
