Budget Coffee or Hidden Gem? Costco Mexico Oaxaca Review

Welcome back to Coffee with Carl and Guy! Today we’re reviewing a coffee we never expected to find at Costco — the Kirkland Signature Organic Mexico Oaxaca Single Origin coffee. Yep… Costco is doing single-origin specialty coffee now, and we had to find out if it’s legit. In this episode, we break down: ✔️ Tasting notes (caramel, chocolate, roasted peanut) ✔️ Roast profile & bean appearance ✔️ How it brews in our drip setup ✔️ Grind size obsession (Guy’s “Obsessive Coffee Disorder”) ✔️ Whether this $20 / 2lb bag is actually specialty grade ✔️ How it compares to Phil’s, Peet’s, and Brazil-style coffees ✔️ Our thoughts on Costco’s mystery roaster ✔️ Why grind size, brew method, and water matter WAY more than you think Whether you’re a coffee nerd, a Costco fan, or just curious about affordable single-origin beans, this review has you covered. If you’ve tried Costco’s Kirkland Mexico Oaxaca, drop your thoughts below! And if you own a Monolith grinder… we need to talk. 😂
