Supremo isn't a brand name for marketing purposes; it's the highest grade of Colombian coffee, based mainly on the size of the beans. Millstone Colombian Supremo is a dark roast that fares well in reviews from both everyday drinkers and coffee aficionados. Those sources differ about harshness, though, as may be expected. Some say it's a bit harsh, at least without milk, and others describe a slightly burnt flavor. Others don't find it bitter -- but rather complex and smoky. If you want something less strong, reviews say Eight O'Clock Coffee 100% Colombian (*Est. $6 for 12 oz.) is the best supermarket coffee.
We found the best reviews at Cook's Illustrated magazine, which did an extensive blind taste test as well as shipping the coffees off to a laboratory. ConsumerReports.org also tested it in an older review of 25 caffeinated and 17 decaf coffees, but this report is no longer available online. We also found an extensive review at CoffeeReview.com.

Twenty staffers sample eight whole-bean supermarket coffees, including Millstone Colombian Supremo. The magazine also conducted some lab analysis on each variety (including a measurement of immature beans that get past the sorter and spoil a brew).
Review: Supermarket Whole Bean Coffee, Editors of Cook's Illustrated magazine, Nov. 2005
Kenneth Davids is a prolific coffee reviewer who can be quite caustic in his comments about coffees that other reviewers like. Of Millstone Colombian Supremo he says "this is a fine American breakfast cup, sweet enough to be drunk black but dry enough to complement the pancakes."
