Bird & Wild Medium Roast Whole Bean Coffee vs Grounds & Hounds Alpha Blend Coffee

Buy the Bird & Wild if you want a balanced medium roast with floral and dark chocolate notes and a strong conservation story. Buy Grounds & Hounds Alpha Blend if you want a bold dark roast with cocoa and smoke, or need ground coffee or pods. Bird & Wild is whole bean only and leans on its Smithsonian Bird Friendly and Fairtrade certifications. Grounds & Hounds is the more versatile buy: whole bean, ground and recyclable K-Cups, in 12 oz or 5 lb. Owners of Alpha Blend call it a consistent, smooth dark roast that drinks well black.

• Choose the Bird & Wild if you brew whole bean, prefer a medium roast with balanced acidity, and want certified shade-grown, bird-friendly coffee.
• Choose the Grounds & Hounds Alpha Blend if you want a bold dark roast, need ground coffee or K-Cup pods, or want a large 5 lb option.
