The second you open the 10 oz bag, you are hit with a wonderfully sweet, complex aroma packed with heavy notes of sweet syrup, vanilla bean, and ripe stone fruit. The flavor profile is wonderfully cheeky, bright, and beautifully balanced.

Unlike many lower-tier medium roasts, it features absolutely zero burnt or bitter aftertaste, delivering a smooth sip from start to finish. Because they are whole beans, grinding them fresh right before brewing yields an incredibly vibrant cup that acts as the perfect high-efficiency jumpstart to your workday. ## Features - TASTING NOTES: Tart red currant, notes of sugar cane and milk chocolate, with a honeyed berry body. - MEDIUM ROAST: Cheeky, bright, precocious.

It is actually quite the opposite. The lighter the roast, the more caffeine it contains, which is why a lot of light roasts are called "breakfast blends". Some believe that the longer roasting process removes the caffeine from the dark roast beans, while some will argue that it actually has to do with the density of the beans (dark roasted beans are somewhat less dense than lightly roasted beans, therefore having less caffeine by weight). Either way, a light or medium roast is your best bet. Bold/dark taste does not equal high caffeine content. **Q: is it low acid** A: I'm not quite sure about what low acid means to you; however, I can say that this coffee is by far the best we have ever had! Way better than Starbucks, Seattle's Best, and some of the other dark French roast that we have enjoyed in the past. Bold roast coffee beans tend to be more oily which makes them more fragrant and gives a more robust coffee flavor which is what my husband and I enjoy. It doesn't taste acid-y to us. So, not sure if this helpful or not. **Q: I ordered whole bean. Why did it come ground?** A: I have been receiving Kicking Horse whole bean coffee from Amazon for at least two years. In all of that time, all deliveries have been as ordered - whole bean. It is possible to order ground Kicking Horse coffee. Perhaps it was ordered incorrectly. (Check your Amazon order history. ) Otherwise, I can only surmise that it was a rare order fulfillment mistake. **Q: Is this coffee mold free?** A: Yes. Have bought two large bags and beans were excellent. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tasty and flavorful coffee *by M***P on May 9, 2026* This Kicking Horse Smart Ass Coffee is a fantastic choice for those who want a premium, high-quality brew at a great value.

Using it for lattes and mochas. *by C***G on October 31, 2019* I'm certainly not a coffee connoisseur. I've been trying to find my favorite bean for morning lattes and mochas ever since upgrading to a "real" espresso machine, a Lelit Mara, earlier this year. I've gone through a small handful of beans so far, and this Smart Ass coffee is among the best. I normally go for a bean from a local roaster but if it isn't conveniently available (I live pretty rurally and it's often easier to order from Amazon than it is to go to "town") I'll get adventurous and try some new stuff. Kicking Horse seemed well reviewed so I gave it a chance and the Smart Ass seemed to be the most like my preferred flavor profile. It's a solid medium roast so it's not bitter or earthy. It's what I might call "balanced"; it's bright and a bit chocolaty. It's not subtle and it's not aggressive. It's just a really nice smooth middle-of-the-road taste. I might try some others from these guys. I only recently learned that Kicking Horse's parent company is Lavazza, a hugely popular Italian coffee company. What this means for their beans and product, I don't know, but Kicking Horse isn't the small company it might appear to be. Still, it's good stuff, a bit on the expensive side but it's organic and fair-trade. I'd buy it again. In fact I'll probably do that now, I just remembered I emptied the last of the bag. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kicking Horse Coffee, Smart Ass, Medium Roast, Whole Bean, 10 oz - Kicking Horse Coffee, Three Sisters, Medium Roast, Whole Bean, 10 oz - Kicking Horse Coffee, Grizzly Claw, Dark Roast, Whole Bean, 10 Oz - Certified Organic, Fairtrade, Kosher Coffee --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://grenada.desertcart.com/products/26544819-kicking-horse-coffee-smart-ass-medium-roast-whole-bean-10](https://grenada.desertcart.com/products/26544819-kicking-horse-coffee-smart-ass-medium-roast-whole-bean-10) --- *Product available on Desertcart Grenada* *Store origin: GD* *Last updated: 2026-10-31*
