Surrounded by mountains and three volcanoes, this coffee plantation is located next to the picturesque Lake Atitlan in Guatemala. Grown in high altitudes and nourished to perfection without the use of any man-made chemicals, this organic coffee is medium bodied with a complex flavor and an enchanting aroma.
Grown under the shade of trees, protected by migratory birds, and nurtured by an environment that encourages slow growth, the coffee beans are bursting with bold and rich flavors by the time they are harvested. After meticulous hand-selection, the beans are wet processed and sun dried; everything comes together perfectly to produce a gourmet coffee that brews into a remarkable cup time after time.
Smooth and robust, this delightful gourmet coffee is perfect no matter what time of the day it is. Experience the goodness of Organic Guatemalan coffee.

Very tasty!
By Paul from Grand Marais, Mn on February 18, 2012
I've been buying light roast Guatamalan coffee for a number of years, from a local vendor who also sells fair traded coffees. This is a very pleasant non-acidic, and smooth coffee. Perhaps a little too good for my own good, as I enjoy it so much, I drink way more than I probably should. The coffee was shipped quickly, and was obviously fresh-roasted when it arrived. I recommend it highly.I would recommend this item to a friend.

Very nice coffee. Grinds easily, and brews into a rich cup of coffee.I would recommend this item to a friend.
As good the 2nd time around
By Richard from Louisville, CO on January 10, 2012
I thought I had entered my review the first time I drank this Guatemalan nectar of the gods. I guess I didn't but all I have to say is this is the second time I ordered this wonderful tasting, aromatic treat. I generally confine my coffee drinking to the early morning but I often make an exception for the Santiago Atitlan - it is certainly is great to start each day as well as any afternoon or early evening urge for a great cup of coffee. Impressive!I would recommend this item to a friend.
i order it for myself and my friends.

Great coffee at a great price!
By Sam from Morgantown, WV on November 8, 2011
We are committed to purchasing fair trade organic coffee, but had problems finding local sources at reasonable prices. When I found Coffee AM during a general search for Organic Coffee, was pleased to find organic coffee, at reasonable bulk prices. Then when we tried the Guatemala Santiago Atitlan, we were blown away by its smooth and rich taste. Have already recommended both the site and the coffee to friends, in hopes that we can recruit more WV coffee drinkers to the fair trade organic camp.I would recommend this item to a friend.

Great coffee!
By coffeelover from Orlando, FL on July 3, 2011
This coffee has such a nice, smooth flavor and is not at all bitter, which is exactly how I like my coffee. It is a bonus that it is organic and fair trade. I also can't say enough about Coffee AM. They have super fast shipping, and the coffee is always such high quality.I would recommend this item to a friend.
REALLY nice coffee, especially for the price
By T from Nashville on May 2, 2013
I would give it a 5 but I reserve that for outstanding, memory-inducing coffee. I've only had such coffee a few times in my life. This particular brew is rich, aromatic, smooth with a warm overtone, hints of chocolate and just slightly earthy, no bitterness. I've been systematically trying various national varieties: Guatemalan rates at or near the top of my list - this one is better than most Guatemalan! => Almost a 5!
I would recommend this item to a friend.

Atitlan Smooth
By Jeff from Brooklyn, NY on April 21, 2013
After visiting San Pedro in the Atitlan region of Guatemala we brought back as much coffee as we could carry. When the supply began to run low we searched on-line to find the best deal to keep the rich and smooth world renown coffee as part of our mornings. CoffeeAM has the best prices and their beans are the real deal. I would recommend this item to a friend.
Great Coffee! Great Service!
By Kevin W. from Abilene, TX on April 13, 2013
Nice full body with a moderate crispness! Initially, I was anticipating (and hoping for) a bit more of a bite, however, let's face it, when it comes to taste, it's all very subjective and depends on many factors, such as what you've been drinking and also eating in the days and of course, minutes prior, and ultimately what you're used to, or anticipating. The perfect quantity, grind, water and then sipping temperature also play huge factors, so some experimentation is often necessary to discover the "sweet spot" with any given coffee. After the first day or two of starting into my 5 lbs., I was already greatly enjoying my brews at my typical quantity and grind, simply based on the adapted expectations factor. As is usually the case, as the coffee cools a bit from the initial brew temp., the nuances in the flavor (as accurately detailed in the product description), really begin to blossom. (Ideally the brew temp is in the neighborhood of say, 175º to 190º and definitely not much higher, while the best flavor is in the 140º to 165º area.) (On a side note: As an experiment, I made some "sun coffee" in "camp-fire" fashion, as in grounds right in the pot, though without the fire, using this Guatemalan, in fact, and it worked surprisingly well. It actually had a nice flavor, never having surpassed 115º in temperature. Raw foodists' delight!)To give you some comparative perspective to help you understand my tastes relative to your own, I drink my coffee black at what most consider a strong brew (with the frail often whining, sadly, unable to conceive of diluting with more hot water), however it's really the quality of coffee, grind, and method that make my brews strong, rather than the quantity of beans I use in the mix. Brace yourself, but in my case, I typically only use three to four Tbs. of beans, at most, in 54 oz. of carbon-filtered water. (Unless, I'm making expresso, of course.) ("OMG, is that all?", says the befuddled naysayer. "But, what about the 1 Tbs per cup instructions?" Seriously, does anyone really brew that heavy? Anyone with quality coffee and taste buds, that is? If so, I'll bet their grind looks more like cocoa nibs or very course sand, which of course, releases far less flavor.)
The key to releasing the flavor of the bean is grinding to powder (Heaven forbid!) but not dust (ideally just before it starts really building up too much of an electrostatic charge). French Pressing is then a good way to go if you're only a single-cup drinker, but if you're a single-pot (or more) drinker like me... I prefer to drip-brew through a permanent "gold" filter, which lets some dust pass through and gives the coffee some extra body along with a special "bonus" of sediment in the bottom of the cup. (Oh bother...) (For the finicky, studies show there are a lot of beneficial nutrients, antioxidants, etc., in used coffee grounds... like..duh! Besides, you're also getting more of your money's worth, so, don't let the limitations of preconceptions cause you to miss out! Be adventurous! Just don't forget to give your teeth a quick tongue scrub before grinning.) Actually, by the time I pour the coffee through the grounds to catch any particles that may have overflowed, and then again into my glass-lined thermal carafe, the coffee is undoubtedly gaining a tad bit of strength in flavor, though I've never really found it to add much. (Too bad.)
For another comparative reference, in case you're familiar with it, I am currently going through 5 lbs. of the Organic Peruvian Andes Gold, which I'll post a near identical revue on, which the exception of the crispness. The Peruvian is definitely smoother than the Guatemalan, though there is still a very subtle hint of crispness. It is also slightly sweeter than the Guatemalan, though both of these coffees offer some very subtle sweet "chocolate-like" undertones.
Back to the Guatemalan, if you like "strong coffee" (need I say... as in freshly brewed, full body, as opposed to waitress lingo for evaporated and burned...) you'll definitely enjoy this choice!
Oh, and CoffeeAM will likely have it roasted and shipped within a day of your order, so you'll be sipping it within the week! Sweet!

BOLD BUT SMOOTH
By Gil from Missoula, MT on April 6, 2013
Dark bold coffee which is smooth. It is not bitter as some coffees are. Smells great, tastes great.I would recommend this item to a friend.
over roasted for a light or medium roast
By Christian from Charleston,SC on April 5, 2013
i do not like the over roasted coffee( bitter) but on the review,it said that it was medium or light and good flavor.So I bought it and unfortunatly,this coffee was darker than a medium roast,but not as dark than a dark roast.But this is my taste,.and it does not remove the quality of this product .It may be good for drip coffee but not for expresso.I spent 25 years in coffee business in Europe,and I am used to light roast coffee and this one was not light or medium roast.
I use Guatemala from allegro for the last 10 years(whole food)which is really light roast and not bitter at all.
