Is this coffee ground or whole bean?

It is whole bean, so you grind it yourself. That suits drip, pour-over, French press and espresso setups.

How strong is a medium roast like this?

Medium roast sits between light and dark, so expect moderate strength and body with less char than a dark roast. The brand describes it as balanced and smooth.

What does it taste like?

The brand positions it as balanced and smooth rather than fruity or smoky. It is a classic everyday cup, not a single-origin with pronounced flavor notes.

Does buying it support firefighters?

Yes. Fire Department Coffee is a certified veteran-owned business and says proceeds support sick and injured firefighters.

How should I store the beans?

Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dark place and grind just before brewing. Whole beans hold flavor longer than pre-ground coffee.

Our take on the Medium Roast Whole Bean

This is Fire Department Coffee's Original Medium Roast, sold as a 12 oz bag of whole beans. It is built as an everyday, balanced cup rather than a single-origin showpiece, so it suits drip brewers, pour-over and French press drinkers who want smooth, medium-strength coffee without dark-roast bitterness. The brand is veteran-owned and donates to sick and injured firefighters, which is the main thing setting it apart from commodity medium roasts. Expect a straightforward, crowd-pleasing cup rather than the fruit-forward complexity specialty roasters chase.
