Good balance even when it’s cold

Jamie
Lovely aroma, rich flavor, initial slightly sweet tasting note. More like this please!
1/25/2023

Amanda
Fantastic blend, made for really great espresso and French press. I was seemingly more sensitive caffeine-wise to this coffee.
1/5/2023

Michael
Really nice, chocolate and nutty espresso with great body.
11/17/2022

David
nice balance. enjoyed the nutty flavor with the subtle hints of cocoa. had an earthy aroma that enhanced the nutty flavor as it lingered on my palate
11/8/2022

Garrett
Not quite blonde but a good roast.
8/27/2022

Moni
Loved it a bunch.
2/20/2022

Larry
Loved it!
1/3/2022

Pedro
Wonderful flavor. I use a 15:1 ratio for a pour-over. I get the chocolate and almond immediately. I think if you go to 16-18:1 it might lose some of the intensity. Loved it
12/11/2021

William
Did not enjoy this at all. No matter how I adjusted the grind size and ratio, the flavor never improved...too bitter/dark/burnt.
11/20/2021

Randy
Nice balanced taste
9/17/2021

Jacob
really great coffee, well balanced
9/3/2021

Angela Marie
Loves this! Low acid
8/5/2021

Melina
Well balanced coffee and liked the hint of sweetness from the chocolate.
7/25/2021

Emma
Love this one
7/11/2021

Mercan
Loved this one! So flavorful, chocolatey and nutty and no bitterness
4/28/2021

Arash
It doesn't feel right. It leaves a bitter after taste in my mouth after each sip. It spells wonderful though - I loved it when I opened it but the flavor is disappointing
4/2/2021

Lauren
Enjoyable!
3/29/2021

Paije
Super earthy taste, perhaps would have worked better on a smaller sizes portafilter, as it was quite watery regardless of grind size
2/4/2021

Cory
I loved this coffee so much - i am considering adding it to the rotation again.
1/26/2021

Thomas
Good flavor prefer darker roast
1/7/2021

Cindy
This blend is for coffees and I'm looking specifically for espresso blend
12/15/2020

Donna
Too dark for my liking. Can see it working well for espresso.
12/1/2020

Samuel
This coffee tastes exactly as it’s described. Very enjoyable and rich flavor without the sourness sometimes present in espressi.
11/12/2020

Andrew
loved it
11/10/2020

Amanda
Smelled amazing but a little light in flavors. I don't get any chocolate notes but do taste the almond/nutty flavor. It's a pleasant coffee to drink just nothing stands out about the flavors.
6/28/2020

Mayce
This is by far our favorite! It was delicious and had the right strength of flavor.It wasn't too bitter and the tasting notes weren't overwhelming.
6/14/2020

Carlee
The flavor was a little dull for me. It was bitter but without the delicious flavors that many of the other coffees offered.
6/8/2020

Michelle
The flavor felt too light. I'd like something a little bolder.
6/5/2020

Veronica
This is AWESOME. Really smooth and almost sweet. I can drink this even without creamer. I love the after taste. I was nervous that this was a "blond blend" as I usually find them a little less rich tasting...but this one is perfect.
5/15/2020

SU JUN
Ok.
12/2/2019

David
Okay, but for chocolatey darker roasts doesn’t hold a candle to Colombe Afrique
11/9/2019

Heather
Light but still bold
10/13/2019

Amber
Bold smell, almond and malt aftertaste. Chocolate note missing. It’s a nice blonde, but I tend to prefer stronger flavors
8/18/2019

Ryan
thought it was a bit weak, flavors were a bit muted.
8/6/2019

James
My favorite so far!
7/15/2019

Cameron
Great for cold brew
7/10/2019

Pam
Not much flavor. A little too light.
6/20/2019

Erin
This was not our favorite. It tasted either too weak or too bitter.
6/6/2019

John
This was a relaxing roast; very balanced where no one flavor overtook the rest. It was always enjoyable any time of the day.
3/17/2019

Adam
Smooth and simple.
2/9/2019

Nicole
loved it!!!
1/22/2019

Rhonda


Sorry, I thought I was commenting on the last coffee I received. I haven't actually tried this one yet.

After trying it, I would give it 2 stars.
1/11/2019

Kaarene
loved this coffee
11/4/2018

cindy
Loved it! I had been away from home and came back to this smooth delicious roast and was full of warmth and thankful to be back.. Thank you
10/17/2018

Sakshi
Tasted muddy and kind of bitter
10/15/2018

Jill
This was my second favorite so far, after the Intelligentsia. It has a nice flavor but it doesn't taste bitter.
8/18/2018

Wayne
Nice body, no bitterness, lacks deep coffee flavor
8/3/2018

Lisa
This was one of my favorites in my shipments. Well balanced.
3/23/2018

Kelly
I haven’t been really enjoying the picks based on my most recent profile so I changed it up a bit. I did enjoy the blonde blend and I’m looking forward to trying the single origin that’s on the way.
12/30/2017

DJ
Not crazy about this one, flavor profile was a bit muddy and a little more bitter than I like.
12/17/2017

Jimmy
A little too dark for my tastes.
12/17/2017

Greg
More earthy than I like. Not getting the cocoa notes. As a brewed coffee, very run-of-the mill “Starbucks” style coffee. It makes a descent espresso, but doesn’t knock it out of the park for me. Nothing exceptional about it.
12/17/2017

Alexandra
Loved that it wasn't too overpowering.
12/16/2017

Andrew
Lacked body. Under roasted. No suitable for drip machines.
12/15/2017

Zach
Very good and smooth. Although I wish it had a more prounounced flavor.
12/15/2017

Abhaya
This was not blonde, but rather dark and one dimensional, lacking complexity.
12/13/2017

Tom
Not very good. Wrong way to end the year's subscription
12/12/2017

Home
Wonderful light and sweet but not too sweet.
12/12/2017

Milica
I like it better than the last. I have been drinking it with non-dairy creamer for the Advent season..but will drink with milk (which is what I prefer) after Jan 7 at which time I will have a better idea of how much I like it. Would you be able to please send me this request again after Jan 7. And please hold off on sending another coffee until then?
thank you.
Milica
12/11/2017

Stephen
This is right up my alley. Very well balanced.
12/7/2017

Stephanie
Trying to finish this as fast as I can. Terrible tasting.
12/7/2017

Trish
Excellent coffee. They keep getting better!
12/5/2017

Warren
Loved this. Not as bold as the Atomic last week, but still good flavor.
11/23/2017

Manning
Good lighter roast. Nice and smooth for the morning
11/16/2017

Jennifer
Decent, enjoyed in aero press & as espresso. It didn't have much aroma that I could pick up, though.
11/16/2017

Brian
I personally preferred (and my coworkers agreed) that the Atomic blend was a tad better than this one, perhaps because it had a more bold character, something a little more exciting. This is a great cup of coffee though in its own respect, muted, not too overpowering. I enjoyed both blends, though atomic a little more.
11/13/2017

Ted
Too much like Cafe Bustello. Maybe I ground too fine?
11/9/2017

Rachael
Just Ok - a little bland
11/8/2017

Daniel
I really enjoyed this blend. Not roasted too much and the tasting notes were fairly accurate. I wish it had a stringer body on top of which those testing notes could sit but it's certainly not lacking in that area. Overall a satisfying blend.
11/7/2017

Scott
Change. The. Packaging.
I had to cut open this bag with scissors.

You cannot, and I mean can not, be more than a degree over 205 with this coffee. Some notes of cinnamon, with a smooth, chocolaty finish. Even with my Chemex, this coffee has a good body and mouthfeel. A little oily, but not too heavy. My personal opinion, nothing to write home about.
11/6/2017

Joe
not very strong flavor
11/2/2017

Greg
Bitter/burnt tasting. I've tried adjusting to improve the taste, but haven't had much luck. Not enjoying this one.
10/23/2017

Kelley
I really enjoyed this one. I found some earthy notes, which was great, with just a hint of chocolate. It was a great mix.
10/23/2017

Becky
Good but not very rich in flavor
10/23/2017

Rachel
Fine, but nothing to write home about. I think I prefer a darker roast
10/12/2017

Dylan
This was a really good bean. What I found lacking was the sweetness wasn't there like I had hoped. This had a good smoky nutty taste that did remind of eating almonds. Other than that it was either oily or something as it had a lot of cling on my grinder. I had a hard time getting out from my vario w
10/3/2017

Henry
Very fresh and good crema, but acid and lacking in interest. Tasting notes didn't come through for me.
10/3/2017

Brett
This is awesome. The perfect balance of excellent flavor and drinkability. The roast is light, but the flavor is not. Its not powerful flavor but delicious subtle flavor that balances just right for a little cup of heaven every morning. I think this was my favorite.
9/30/2017

Jill
This is a light roast when my preference is medium.
9/24/2017

Olivia
Really got the almond in this one, which was a fun new twist from the coffees I'd tried in the past. Also loved the walk on the lighter side as far as roast! I think I'm still a medium roast girl, but variety is the spice of life, right?
9/21/2017

Amy
I've tried making this coffee for a week now and just can't seem to get it right. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but every time it tastes really burnt. Not happy at all with this one.
9/20/2017

Nicole
Didn't have much flavour.
9/17/2017

Joseph
This coffe bean was pretty good. I normally make lattes and cappuccinos so I will revise my preference to espresso roast.
9/5/2017

Connor
Used for espresso, great flavor, but not quite strong enough.
9/4/2017

Lane
This blend was not very good. Flat, Starbucks-y taste.
8/31/2017

Steve
Extremely light bodied
8/29/2017

Andrea
Too burnt tasting for my liking. Played around with the water-coffee ratio to appreciate the chocolate-almond nuances
8/26/2017

Ben
This coffee has a good texture and color. The flavor falls a little flat black, but is great with a bit of cream.
8/26/2017

marcus
This one was definitely better than the previous.

Good rich and complex flavors and was fairly forgiving in terms of shot timing.

I think my only complaint would be that its acidity was pretty sharp for my tastes.
8/26/2017

Stephen
I'd say this was an average coffee. Not worth $16 but not bad tasting.
8/25/2017

Josh
I enjoyed this blend a lot. I really enjoyed the roast level, it wasn't too dark and not too light, it was just right. The flavors were great as well. There were some earthy tones that I picked up on, most likely from the almond and chocolate. I brewed it in my french press and in my drip machine and it turned out great both ways!
8/3/2017

ASHLEY
The coffee it's too light. Although I don't want French roast.
8/2/2017

Ollie
Too bold for my taste - would prefer something lighter and less bitter.
8/2/2017

Amanda
I love this coffee so much! I've been drinking it hot with vanilla almondmilk creamer and it is delicious!
7/31/2017

Andrew
not bad, just somewhat of a bland taste that left me wanting something more flavor.
7/31/2017

Daniel
This coffee does not have a roast date on the packaging. it says it's light roast but it's definitely a dark roast bean. This coffee seems stale and has a bad odor.
7/30/2017

Michael
Smooth and nutty. Great crema. Very good coffee.
7/29/2017

Rich
The roast is really burnt smelling and do not like that.
7/25/2017

Michael
Great flavor and taste.
7/20/2017

Dipika
I did not like the taste of this coffee. It is a little too strong and acidic.
7/17/2017

Adolph
This blend is mild and not what I expected.
7/16/2017

Corey
Not bad. Just nothing noteworthy, really. Similar to my previous selections in terms of chocolatey, nutty, but for me, I'd like something with a little more of a pronounced flavor that would set it apart from the pack.
7/16/2017

Philip
After drinking the Atomic Blend Ava Blonde Blend seemed average. While the smell was nice and it was smooth and not to acidic, the flavor was not bold, unremarkable and not to different from beans you can get at the grocery store. Prefer the smell, Blend, and unique taste of atomic Blend to Ava Blonde.
7/15/2017

Jesse
Great coffee. Brewed using a v60 pour over and used in Saeco Intellia espresso machine with a splash of 170 degree water. Great balance and notes came out well with both methods.
7/12/2017

Nikki
Tried with a chemex and as an espresso blend. This blend seemed to have a higher acidity level than we usually drink.
7/11/2017

Hsiao-Wen
Okay when brewed by a mocha pot. Not overly earthy nor overly bright - should I say lack of surprise too? I will try to brew by French Press tomorrow and may come back and edit my review.
7/8/2017

Amit
Just had my first cup and I am already looking forward to my next cup. The nutty taste and full body worked really well for my cup of cappuccino.
7/3/2017

John
I enjoyed this cup. Although, for me it was not all that flavorful. I could really taste the chocolate notes, but I would prefer a "brighter" cup of coffee next time.
6/25/2017

Kyle
This coffee is great but I liked the atomic blend more due to its robust flavors
6/24/2017

Andres
This has been the best one yet. My tastes are certainly evolving and I got all the flavor notes out of this one. A nice nutty blend with a smooth chocolate finish just like its printed on the bag. The after taste was so nice and smooth. It was a tad light and it was interesting how the bean aromas were not as strong as I usually like them, but the flavors certainly made up for it.
6/20/2017

Michael
I was a bit surprised that I liked this coffee as much as I did. When I read that it was a lighter roast I didn't think I was going to enjoy it, but I really liked it. I guess I'm going to need to re-explore some lighter roasts
6/19/2017

Matthew
well balanced
6/18/2017

Andrew
Really excellent. Exactly what I look for in a coffee.
5/14/2017

Joseph
very smooth and drinkable, good for a morning coffee, but lacks an oomph
5/13/2017

Caleb
Like the richness and deep flavor.
5/9/2017

Jeannette
Really??? Way too light
4/24/2017

Patrick
Good, but maybe a bit too subtle.
4/14/2017

Jay Cee
I don't like chocolate flavored coffee. I like Jamaica Blue Mountain and Hawaiian Coffees. I also do not like to buy my coffee from certain places because of political policies that the countries may have. It there a way to see what you want to send me before it gets picked?
Thank you.

Zosia
Not very flavorful
3/1/2017

Erica
I am a chocolate lover and this coffee hit my taste for that perfectly!
2/26/2017

Malcolm
Really good flavor for a light roast! Really enjoy it although I might like a little richer blend for my next offering. Thanks!
2/21/2017

Mary & Roger
A bit weak with funny after taste
2/3/2017

Jordan
It was a lighter roast than what I normally drink, but the chocolate notes were particularly enjoyable!
1/25/2017

Judy & Terry
We enjoyed the flavor of this coffee, however we felt that this was more of a medium/dark roast than a light roast. We are primarily brewing our coffee with the Chemex method. We enjoy a more full-bodied coffee, but we would like to start trying single-origin coffees to determine what variety of beans we prefer.
1/12/2017

Betty
the flavor was to weak for us.
1/8/2017

Betty
the flavor was to weak for us.
1/8/2017

Gil
Nutty and chocolate is okay, but roast is too blonde; I prefer stronger, dark roast.
1/1/2017

Bennett
Based on the description, I thought I would love this, but there was a distinct tobacco-like flavor and a bitter acidity that overwhelmed my palette a bit. I enjoyed this, but it's definitely not something I would go out of my way to find.
12/29/2016

Jill
Really disappointed in this one.
12/18/2016

Jorge
I don't remember too much of this coffee but I remember enjoying the taste and aroma.
12/11/2016

Brien
Smooth and satisfying. I definitely taste the chocolate. Lighter than I normally choose, but instead of being weak and leaving me wanting something more it was crisp and refreshing. Like a breath of fresh air. I'd buy this again.
12/10/2016

Victor
Very good coffee, kinda generic tasting. Not so different then the store bought I've been using!
12/5/2016

traycee
I would not consider this a light roast. I'd say it's dark if anything. Reminiscent of a Starbucks or any of the other large, over roasted, tasteless coffees. I couldn't pick out any tasting notes from the burnt, chalky taste.
12/4/2016

Sasha
I had an allergic reaction to this one and had to throw out.
11/6/2016

Andrew
This is a great light roasted coffee that is easy to drink. For every day cofeee, I prefer a more medium taste
10/23/2016

David
Very dark for a "blonde" roast. Not a lot of flavor, not interesting in flavor profile at all.
10/16/2016

Chelsea
Loved it!
9/28/2016

Paul
Ok as far as 'blondes' go, I would put it more toward the 'balance' side of things. Nothing outrageous flavor profile wise. I mixed it with coffee I actually like to finish the bag.
5/11/2016

Susan
Did not like this coffee. Tastes more like tea than coffee. I noticed floral, not nuts or chocolate.
5/4/2016

Beth
This coffee was really nice. Had a mellow approach to the palate. I quite enjoyed this one.
4/29/2016

John
a bit light and acidic for my liking.
1/27/2016

Audra
Good flavor
1/15/2016

Christopher
I do not know enough about coffees to give an "Anthony Bourdain" - esque review but I made it in a Mr. Coffee type coffeemaker and not my Chemex as I usually do (out of laziness) and it was still really great! I will make it out of the Chemex next go around and hopefully give you a more accurate review. I am a sucker for good packaging/design though, I know that makes mes sound superficial (which it is) but if you could tailor future coffees to that that would be great!

* also for the sake of variety could I get a coffee from Africa or Asia just to compare?
1/14/2016

Claire
This one's tasty. Makes me happy. I'm in a silly mood. That's the end.
1/6/2016

Blake
The coffee was very good, but a little weak. I love the rich, nutty taste, but also want to venture out. I look forward to the next box and it's history/location.
12/2/2015

Lindsey & Keith
Loved this coffee! It was perfect black (the way my husband drinks it) and perfect for almond milk and sugar (the way I drink it). Thank you Conner and Samantha!
12/2/2015

Sherry
Good. It's a little to light of a roast for me
11/20/2015

Peter
Didn't really care for it. Boring cup.
10/17/2015

Joe
I wouldn't say that this is necessarily bad coffee, the taste is there - just not the type of coffee we prefer. It's not a bad morning cup but we like something a little fuller.
