Trader Joe's French Roast Coffee Dark Roast 100% Arabica Whole Bean 13 oz

Product Details

Trader Joe's French Roast Coffee — Dark Roast | 100% Arabica Whole Bean | 13 oz

French roast is the end of the road — the darkest, boldest, most unapologetically intense roast level in the coffee world. Trader Joe's French Roast delivers exactly what that promises: a full-bodied, smoky cup with dark chocolate and caramel notes, low acidity, and a smooth finish that lingers. No brightness, no delicacy, no subtlety. Just a serious dark roast that means business from the first sip. If you drink your coffee black and bold, this is your bag.

This 13 oz (369g) whole bean coffee is made from 100% Arabica beans roasted to a dark French roast level. Nitrogen-flushed packaging preserves freshness from roast to grind. Kosher Pareve certified. Vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free. Whole bean format — requires a grinder before brewing. Grind immediately before brewing for the freshest, most flavorful cup: medium-coarse for French press, medium for drip, fine for espresso or Moka pot. Approximately 26 cups per 13 oz bag based on 2 tablespoons per 6 oz serving.

Trader Joe's French Roast is a TJ's staple — a no-frills, high-quality dark roast whole bean at a price that makes specialty coffee shops look overpriced. The 100% Arabica base keeps the boldness from tipping into harsh or bitter territory. The nitrogen-flushed bag means the beans arrive as fresh as the day they were roasted. For dark roast drinkers, this is the kind of everyday coffee that earns permanent shelf space.

Works in French press, drip coffee makers, espresso machines, and Moka pots. Also pairs well with milk or cream for a bold latte base. Store whole beans in an airtight container at room temperature — do not refrigerate or freeze.
