First Impressions
Kirkland Signature Coffee Organic Summit Roast gives off a pronounced roasty carbon note, reminiscent of a campfire that’s lingered a bit too long, suggesting a deeper roast than its medium label might imply. The sensation it leaves on the tongue is akin to the dryness you’d feel after a long envelope-licking session, a touch of astringency.
On the other hand, Kirkland’s “Morning Blend” roast felt a bit too light and thin for my palate. While their “dark” or “French Roasts” do stand out with a distinct bitterness, they seem to lack that caffeine kick I crave. Overall, while the Kirkland Medium Roast strikes a decent balance in intensity, it still leans more towards the darker, bolder side, setting it apart from the lighter, donut shop brews.
You can pick up on flavors that echo Starbucks—before they mix in all the sugars, creams, and other special touches to sweeten their brews in-house.

Key Takeaways
After sampling the Kirkland summit roast, here’s my takeaway: For a budget coffee, it punches above its weight. While it’s labeled as a medium roast, there’s a clear roasty carbon depth that suggests it’s veering more towards the dark side.
It might have hints of some familiar coffee profiles, but it confidently establishes its own identity. Its boldness is present, yet balanced. For those looking for a coffee that’s easy on the wallet but still rich in character, this one’s worth a sip.
Who is Kirkland Signature Coffee Organic Summit Roast for?
First off, it’s like biting into a rich dark chocolate bar – there’s that unmistakable cocoa depth, but with an added complexity. Imagine savoring a piece of dark chocolate and suddenly discovering those delightful crunchy malted cereal bits inside.
It’s a pleasant surprise that adds a whole new dimension to the experience. Now, for those of you who are all about that bold, Starbucks-like depth, you’re in for a treat. This coffee is going to be your morning ritual, your afternoon pick-me-up, your cup of joy.
However, and this is just a friendly heads-up, if your taste buds are more attuned to the lighter, donut shop vibe, this brew might feel like a heavyweight champion in a featherweight match. It’s got intensity, it’s got character, and it might just be a bit too robust for the real medium roast lovers out there.
