Six years later and my superior rating still holds
Updated review, Dec 2022: I first tried the 454 in 2016, and my initial review below stands. I've sampled others in the Kicking Horse stable too, and while they're quite good, they don't have the seductive oomph of the 454. It continues to be the most consistent roast I've found, always delivering that smooth luxe profile between raw and bitter. The aroma is full and deep, the body is complex with hints of leather and dark chocolate, and the finish is a warm slow burn of char and earth notes. Honestly, at this level coffee can only become different, not better. I've yet to find a worthy challenger. I keep it in its bag or an airtight container, grind with a burr grinder on medium-fine, and use the recommend amount, which I also described below. My in-laws visited for Thanksgiving, and I served it with a little whipped eggnog on top. Oops. Made it harder to get rid of them...be careful with this stuff. I recommend busting it out for true coffee lovers and people you'd like to keep around longer. Or just hoard it like I do. Bah Humbug! Salud, R * (Original review from 2016) If you're reading this, you're a coffee purist like I am (others call us snobs, but we all know better.) And like me, you've been disappointed all too often by recommendations that have led you to more of the same-- acidic, flat, unremarkable brews. Starbucks, Coffee Bean-- even Peet's can be overrated, and the only thing they consistently provide is inconsistency. However, the 454 from Kicking Horse, while a bit pricier than our usual fare, is worth every penny. It's a delicious, lush roast with hints of baker's chocolate, a smooth finish, and very low acidity. In sum, it's a superb coffee. In my quest for the ultimate cup--which is not over, but has dramatically narrowed--I also found some terrific advice for getting the most mileage out of your beans. First, a burr grinder really does make a difference. I used my old blade grinder for years, and my coffee was always decent. However, the more I read, the more I thought about trying one. I bought a Cuisinart, the $45-ish jobby. Short story is that instead of pulverizing the same beans over and over, which makes your grind size inconsistent, it grinds the beans once as they pass into the hopper, and you can control the coarseness. I'd get one. Next, search online for articles about how much coffee to use; there's lots of great info abounding. Boiled down, they say that bean to water ratios matter, and they're right. It's 55 grams of coffee to one liter of water. Sounds like a pain to measure, but it's not. Once I got a cheap scale here on Amazon ($10 or so) I figured out how much my press and carafes held, and used some basic math to dial in the right amount of coffee. It was easy, and our presses and carafes hold similar volumes. Anyway, I just poured the beans into a measuring cup, took note of the mark, and put the scale away. I also tried veering away from my permanent gold filter. Sacrilege, maybe, but my wife likes her coffee less gritty, and I wondered if sacrificing the natural oils vs. the grit was a good trade. It was. In fact, I'm coming to prefer the paper filter taste (Melitta non-bleached), or rather, the texture, over the gold filter. I still like the permanent filter, although my French press beats them both. Medium-course grind from the Cuisinart, six minutes in sub-boiling water, stir once, and it's like nothing I've had before. Sinfully aromatic, big mouthfeel, and eminently enjoyable. I don't think I've had a better cup of coffee. It also makes a great pot of drip, noticeably better. And regardless of what anyone says, your own preferences are paramount. What's best is what you like the most. Drip, press, single cup it--choose your weapon. But I'm burying the lede. The quality of the beans makes the cup more than anything else, and the Kicking Horse 454 is superior to most coffees I've had; it vastly outclasses all the bitter slop we've been led to believe tastes good. I've also tried the Kick Ass, and I prefer the 454. It's roastier and richer. I've also noticed that some reviewers say that the 454 tastes burnt, heavy, etc. Of course, we all have our own taste buds, but I respectfully submit that this is bunk. The 454 is my new mainstay because I dislike burnt, heavy coffee as much as I dislike weak, acidic coffee. The 454 has exceptional balance. If nothing else, it's worth your while to try it. Experiment with your brewing methods like I did. I've finally arrived at a consistently excellent brew, and I'll warrant your thoughts about coffee will change if you do the same.

Beware "subscribe and save"
Good coffee but the price doubles and triples on subscribe on subsequent deliveries. Don't know if it's intentional or a glitch, but it's happened twice so we canceled.

My all-time favorite line
Kicking Horse is one of the few brands I drink anymore; by comparison, the Folgers and Maxwell House are just cruddy swill. The 454 mixed with the lighter roast creates a tasty blend that has the caffeine punch one want. I'm old enough now to truly care about quality, and alone enough to afford it; It's not just about taste preferences, it also impacts how much one does/doesn't consume - which is also an aspect of health - or not. 1 pot of good quality coffee knocks out the 2-3 pots daily of the swill - it's a no-brainer. Bladder and budget both appreciate it.

My Favorite Coffee - But the price has simply blown sky-high.
454 is by far my favorite coffee, have bought it religiously for a couple yrs now. I was raised behind a lunch counter & have had a cup of coffee in my hand or nearby since I was 12. Coffee means a lot to me. It's my lifeblood. I love dark, rich roasts. I'd used Latin brands for yrs, but 454 became my everyday go-to. Incredible coffee. Yes, it's always been on the slightly pricey side, but not that far out of range from my local mkt's good loose beans & it's tastes so much better, tho' the mkt's is really tasty & full-bodied. However, a couple wks ago, 454 on AMZN doubled in price out of the blue. Boom. From ~ $22 / bag to $41 / bag. Overnight. Uh, no; it's coffee. I got an AMZN email saying it'd dropped to $30 & I was wavering, but no. Chkd the AMZN site & no, it wasn't $30, it's still going for $41. So I'll just make do w/ the mkt's loose beans which are really good, just not the power punch of 454, until the price comes back down to something sane.

Great sub to Grizzly Claw
We normally brew the grizzly claw, but sometimes it's not available, so 454 is a perfect alternative/sub. Can't really tell much difference between these two. Solid choice!
