Bassline Espresso Blend
Coffee Story
Description
The Bassline Espresso Blend was carefully roasted for you by Passion House Coffee Roasters. Here is an espresso for those who crave chocolate, nuts and a heavier body. Passion House still puts their little twist on espresso but have toned down the fruit and floral qualities they are known for. This espresso is a pretty perfect partner for milk. This cup is fantastically full bodied, with notes of chocolate and nuts.

Great light balanced taste, taste light nuts and slight cacao. Great quality

Good. A little too smoky. Well balanced.

It was good, I tasted the chocolate and nuts and I am looking forward to the next adventure.

Maria
Great scent in the bag, smooth and pleasant flavor but ultimately more mild than I like
12/2/2024

Brandon
Nice high notes. Good roastiness. A bit watery tasting.

Much better Americano than espresso
12/1/2024

Vanessa
It has a strong lemony note that almost covers the cocoa notes. I didn't like it, but people that like very citrusy coffee might like it.
11/29/2024

Jay
I had difficulty dialing this one in for espresso. I was shocked at how dense it was. It also seemed on the lighter side of medium. It was okay. Maybe I got a bad batch, but I could always get the citrus to come through but not as much of the chocolate. Probably wouldn't do this one again until I have tried more.
11/28/2024

Pamela
I found it balanced and smooth. Not like an espresso at all. Very drinkable.
11/22/2024

Rylan
We found it to be a little sour

too milky
10/20/2024

Christine
More acidic, less full body
10/20/2024

Timothy
We found this coffee to have a nice balanced taste but with some subtle but unique flavors. It certainly tastes different than other espresso blends that we have tried but in a good way. The more my wife and I drank it the more we liked it! I am now looking forward to tomorrow morning so I can enjoy my next cup of this coffee!
10/11/2024

Lauren
A simple espresso blend. Full bodied and smooth.
10/10/2024

Dale
Strong flavor without bitterness. Full body.
10/6/2024

Jorge
Good coffee to start with. Would love a more full-bodied experience. Lemon notes are not much noticeable with milk.
10/6/2024

Caleb
I enjoyed how well this paired with milk as I usually don’t do lattes. It was not too dark. I drink espresso straight and I enjoyed it
10/2/2024

Phil
Too much fruit and floral qualities
9/29/2024

ALAN
Nutty, well balanced
9/28/2024

Pelin
Strong flavours for my preference.
9/22/2024

Codi
A little too heavy I think. The nutty flavor is too powerful for my taste.
9/21/2024

Dariusz
Very smooth & velvety with a great body on bare espresso. Tasted great with milk too.
9/19/2024

Wesley
We loved this!
9/13/2024

Kelly
Too much like a regular Italian dark roast, even without the oilyness. Less of anything like this please.
9/12/2024

Lance
Delicious
9/9/2024

Annie
Honestly, just "meh.' I wanted to be excited about it, but it frankly tasted thin and unmemorable. It wasn't excessively bitter, nor too sweet. It just...didn't really make an impression. It says it's the perfect partner for milk, but even when used in those types of drinks, it didn't bloom. It wasn't bad. But it wasn't anything better than adequate.
9/4/2024

Anne
Fine I think. I don't have alot of espresso experience. I use a moka pot. I am looking for more Carmel and nut flavors and less chocolate flavors
9/4/2024

Kelsi
We really enjoyed these beans, and my brother actually buys them straight from the roaster in Chicago. We brewed them in our automatic espresso maker and made both coffee and americanos. My husband drinks them black but I drink them with some milk. We enjoyed the strength of the espresso flavor without feeling too dark.

Emma
Bitter
8/29/2024

Walker
A bit on the acidic side for our tastes.
8/26/2024

Patricia
Mentioned in my beginning questionnaire that I didn’t prefer fruity. Yes, this coffee definitely has a lemon note at the end. Would not want to receive this in the future. Ok for a milk-based drink, but not something I want to drink as an espresso.
8/23/2024

Michael
Very nice balanced taste. Able to get a good extraction.
8/10/2024

Karen
So yummy in a latte!
8/9/2024

Inna
Liked the full body flavor, but a little too acidic.
8/2/2024

Kevin
Long shots, short shots, 4 different grind sizes.. I was unable to tame the citrus. I find it very nice with milk, from cortado to cappuccino, or else it makes a light lemony latte. Interestingly, the latte exhibited cocoa notes when cooled.

UPDATE: Last shot was at a very fine grind setting, makes mud with many other blends, but tasted nearly as advertised. It was also slightly over 1:1 (18.5:20.5). I failed to understand that this blend is far from the typical 1:1.5 or 1:2, 30-second-shot blend. I am fortunate to have a grinder that can get settings from the internet, which is how I found my flaw here. Maybe having access to those suggested recipes and grind settings would help us more accurately experience and rate the coffee. I change my rating to good, but I need to get another bag to finish dialing in for my taste.
7/31/2024

WeiHsin
It has good flavors and nice thickness/richness
7/23/2024

Anthony
Only my second bag of coffee and am finally dialing things in with correct tamper, timing, grind, etc. I'm enjoying this blend--still have a bit of work to get the full notes from it, but finally tasting coffee house espresso over old Nespresso pods.
7/23/2024

Steven
Loved it
7/23/2024

Christina
I really digged this one. Tasted the high quality
7/19/2024

Jerry
Very good. I like a roast slightly darker.
7/15/2024

Alison
Absolutely fantastic. This one stood out from the pack!
7/7/2024

Hailey
This bag was okay. The shots were a little too bitter/sour for my taste. I did prefer cortados with these beans over a single espresso shot.
7/4/2024

Abby
I really like this coffee. It's very smooth and I can taste the lemony aftertaste that others have mentioned. It works well at a grind size of 5 in my Breville Barista Express. I like these shots most in an iced latte, no syrup/sweetener required since the coffee has so many great flavors.
7/2/2024

Lana
Love it!
6/24/2024

Paul
This is my first experience with a specialty coffee, so I don’t have much experience other than grocery store coffee. I did notice a distinct overall upgrade in the entire experience. As for brewing, I am still working on dialing in the perfect shot. I am close, but still need to fine tune the grind level for a perfect 2:1 extraction. I am using 18g in a Breville Barista Touch along with WDT, precision tamper and a single dose hopper. Bottom line is that I don’t feel that I have been able to experience all that Bassline has to offer. What I can say is that we are happy with it and would not complain if we had to drink this for the rest of our lives. ;o I feel I need more time with this blend to really give proper feedback.
6/20/2024

Peter
This one got lost in transit, rated it by mistake.
6/10/2024

Christopher
When I saw an espresso blend first in the queue my first thought was something along the lines of "great, more burned beans," because that's typical of espresso roasts. But they were not burned at all. Definitely what I would call a medium. The flavor is lighter, and the note of grapefruit is very prominent, in both drip brew and espresso, It makes for a very drinkable drip brew, and is definitely better than your typical commercial coffee, but its not really my favorite. Espresso is bright and grapefruity, but lacks the body that I like in espresso.
Worth trying, but I can't say that I'd buy a second bag.
6/8/2024

Mario
I recently tried the Bassline Espresso Blend from Passion House Coffee Roasters, which is described as having a heavy body with notes of chocolate and nuts, making it an excellent partner for milk-based drinks like flat whites. While I found it pretty good for my flat whites, I didn't pick up a lot of the distinct chocolate and nutty notes mentioned. The full-bodied nature of the espresso was evident, but the subtle flavors were less pronounced for me. Overall, it's a solid choice, especially if you prefer a richer, less fruity espresso.
6/7/2024

Samantha
Delicious
5/13/2024

Isaac
Too harsh.
5/13/2024

Zachary
While I am definitely enjoying this one, I find the tasting notes a bit off. There isn't a hint of lemon on the backend; rather, the blend's lively citrus note is quite present. As I sip the double shot I just pulled, I'm struck by the (mostly pleasant) acidity right from the get-go, which is balanced by some lovely dark chocolate and almond notes. Citrus notes dominate the medium-length finish, though, and a tart aftertaste lingers for a bit on the tongue.
4/28/2024

Yosef
The flavor was very good but no as strong as I wanted
4/21/2024

Eli
Difficult to brew correctly, didn’t get most of the tasting notes. Slightly acidic.
4/14/2024

Dan
Solid
3/19/2024

Brian
Silky, somewhat sweet. Pretty good as espresso alone. Loses it's notes when mixed with milk.
3/5/2024

Malcolm
This is probably my least favorite so far, but that’s not saying much. I still really enjoyed it on the whole, especially the hints of lemon at the end. We are still only using a 6 cup moka pot to make our coffee, so our grind is fairly fine, by and large. I’d love to try something a tiny bit *more* fruity and floral, while also trying to avoid crazy high acid levels and not going totally “out-there”-funky. Thanks!
2/28/2024

Lisa
Had a more citrus forward flavor than expected. Would like more chocolate notes up front. This was delicious and paired very well with our creamers and milk.
2/7/2024

Maggie
Mellow, smooth wonderful blend for my moka pot.Perfect blend of chocolate / nut versus the fruity types. One of my all time favs.
2/7/2024

Peter
Matches notes perfectly. Made me think of a peanut butter cup when using for latte. It is very easy drinking, though perhaps a bit light on body and flavor.
1/28/2024

Cole
Good. I liked the cocoa notes, but wished it was more pronounced. Could have been a bit more robust, and a little more sweetness would be appreciated. I did like that it was a more medium roast and I think I prefer the less bitter taste.
1/23/2024

Naomi
Pulls beautifully. A little bit light and fruity for my taste. Still really good, want something more marshmallowy.
1/23/2024

David
Was difficult to dial in. Brew notes not provided.
1/22/2024

Katlin
Good coffee! I think we decided to get a dark roast coffee in the future though!
1/12/2024

Jacquie
Nice nutty flavor! Not too acidic.
1/10/2024

Tim
It was a little weak. I loved the taste and different hints of flavors that I may not normally have with my other store bought coffees. But my biggest weakness to the coffee is that I prefer a more robust strong coffee. I’m sorry if my terminology or expression of tastes is wrong. I hope I am getting my point across. I am excited for the next batch though!
1/7/2024

David
Beans were dried out.
1/4/2024

Parker
Mild, nutty taste.
1/1/2024

Michael
Pretty good, tasty, but mild
12/21/2023

Corey
A good light easy drink, can have multiple cups and enjoy. If you prefer a more of a medium coffee, this is for you. If you want a dark hard hit, I'd try something else. I do taste the lemon on the back end. Not overly powering chocolate.
11/26/2023

Sidney
Not sure if it needs a longer time to sit after the roasting date, but I couldn't find an espresso ratio that worked for me to find the listed notes.
11/21/2023

Robert
I didn't find the bright fruit and floral notes toned down. Maybe they were stronger before but I found they are still very present now
11/12/2023

Erin
I enjoyed it very much. My wife preferred the Parisi. Finding the right grind for these beans was a challenge, they were more dense and packed tighter using my normal grind making the pour a bit long.
11/11/2023

Nicole
First bag, first time using espresso machine at home. Hard to dial in (the machine), but beans were yummy enough to still be okay when I pulled unbalanced, sour shots.
10/27/2023

Adam
Was interesting, though not as tasty as the previous one or the Highwire Roasters “Core” (Emeryville) that is my normal staple go to.
10/23/2023

Ryan
Very good, balanced coffee. Great as espresso milk drinks.
10/23/2023

Latoya
This was good but it was not great.
10/21/2023

Scott
Wasn’t like wow that’s amazing, but it was better than what we have used before
10/18/2023

Amy
Good standard coffee. I enjoyed it, but would also enjoy something with more complex tasting notes
10/15/2023

Matt
Pretty good, a little lighter than normal for espresso, so it's definitely a different experience. Brewed well for pour over too
10/13/2023

Samantha
It's good, however I find the flavor is a bit overpowering with milk drinks. It's not quite versatile enough for much personal preference.
10/8/2023

Casey
Tasted great with some hazelnut creamer!
10/7/2023

Juan
Great pick. Went well in lattes but also as a single espresso shot. I did find that the coffee taste faded away a bit when heavier flavors were added into the latte such as honey. But other than that it was a great pick
10/2/2023

Matthew
Nicely balanced and consistent. Delicious in hot and cold milk drinks. Perfect for a midday Americano. Not quite as full bodied as other espresso blends, but still lovely.
9/20/2023

Marcus
Apparently I prefer less full bodied. Probably would be great with milk but I usually have small americanos
9/18/2023

Sarah
Yummy but didn’t feel like the caffeine was hitting
9/15/2023

Ivan
The aroma is nice but I got a strong citrus flavor that overpowered anything else.
9/11/2023

Darren
It was okay. Not quite the taste I’m looking for. Didn’t like it at first but it grew on me a little bit.

Changed it to a 4 stars because I started liking it.
9/10/2023

Paul
One of my favorite roasts! Perfect balance of acid and depth. A true medium roast.
8/29/2023

Ashli
Yes, chocolate, as most Espresso roasts will have, but this one was almost milk chocolate-y, very pleasant surprise!
8/14/2023

Leslie
Flavor was lacking.
8/8/2023

Irena
Sour taste dominates, which was not my favorite.
8/7/2023

Jack
Smooth and chocolatey. Makes a great cappuccino/flat white.
7/28/2023

Sarah
This was a bit too bitter for me. Lots of lemon aftertaste.
7/26/2023

Kristy
It has a nice flavor, but was lighter than I expected from a medium roast.
7/23/2023

Matthew
Roast seemed lighter than advertised. Big citrus flavor.
7/21/2023

Pace
Lacked flavor imo. Will not buy again.
7/20/2023

Giulio
very balanced. delicious. this has a medium roast with a blend of different coffees
7/12/2023

Sean
Good intro, but a bigger fan of the full body taste of the latest coffee
6/29/2023

Christina
In my opinion this coffee is light in body and barely a medium roast, tasted more like a light roast coffee. Lemon flavor does hit you at the back of the tongue. If you like fruity notes this is the coffee for you. Once milk is added this coffee to me was too sweet.
6/25/2023

Catherine
It was a little too light for me
6/22/2023

Tricia
Smooth, almost like a dessert coffee. It has the feel that there is milk in it, I don't drink milk. The fine grind clogs the filter of the drip machine.
6/1/2023

Kevin
Grinds very nice, can definitely taste nutty and floral notes. A bit sweet.
5/19/2023

Jessica
Loved this one! Always consistent, never had a bad cup.
5/16/2023

Yuyang
Creamy and well balanced flavor
5/13/2023

Kristy
Tasty but too...light? Color was off, and I found myself increasing from my usual measure of grounds in my brewer...
5/11/2023

Marcus
It's good, just more on the light side. I was expecting more of a bold coffee flavor.
5/11/2023

Paul
tasted dry, not veryaromatic
4/30/2023

Elizabeth
I had higher expectations, found it didn't mix with my hazelnut creamer very well.

Alex
good flavor although i am not a fan of the lemon aftertaste. i only make cappuccinos and lattes so i am glad to be receiving beans that are good with milk.
3/29/2023

Candice
I absolutely loved this! The moment I took a sip I was like ohhhh this is what incredible coffee should taste like! My husband on the other hand liked it, but prefered the Peet's dark roast beans.
3/26/2023

Alan
A tad light, but great flavor
3/20/2023

Jenny
Very subtle and not as deep a flavor as the others
3/8/2023

Kristen
Excellent! Favorite one so far
2/27/2023

Kent
The floral notes are subtle but are nice. It's been a little tricky to dial in, but that is probably just user error. Would like to try something more single origin next time.
2/26/2023

Sanjay
Bland flavor, not nearly as good as Lavazza super crema.
2/26/2023

Mahesh
This highlights why I dislike blends. They are next to impossible to dial in properly unless done very well. When I can get a proper extraction, it tastes okay but it is highly inconsistent.
2/21/2023

Barrett
This espresso is bomb. Very syrupy but still bright and juicy. Makes good v60 too.
2/17/2023

Amy
Very Smooth
2/16/2023

Ilya
Very bitter and acidic. Not enjoyable at all.
2/16/2023

Richard
Ive had a decent amount of fresh roasted coffee. This doesn't taste fresh roasted to me. But who know. Wasn't my favorite. Not bad. Not Great. A little bit bold and dry. I think we like the more medium stuff for daily drinking which we are looking for here. I do like Illy medium espresso for espresso pretty well. Maybe more oily
2/16/2023

Jessica
It did not have much flavor. The beans were dry with no oils. Overall nothing special.
2/10/2023

Josh
Could not get good extraction from this coffee.
2/1/2023

Camilla
I specifically requested no dark roast coffee beans in my shipments as they don’t work well with my Jura machine, which is the only thing I use for coffee.
1/30/2023

Ian
Good cocoa notes, good black and even better with a little milk. The grind is a little too fine so I can’t make a full pot in my drip coffee maker without the filter getting clogged. Very nice medium roast. Very solid coffee.
1/30/2023

Riley
Loved the chocolate notes
1/28/2023

Mark
Good, interesting flavors
1/5/2023

Steven
Delightful.
1/5/2023

Les
The roast was too light for my preference. It almost had a green grassy overtone.
1/1/2023

Kelly
Flavor profile is good but I like a coffee that is a bit more robust / full flavored.
12/20/2022

Christopher
Really consistent pull in my machine. Great taste with nutty note. Want something still a little darker.
12/3/2022

Dawn
Not my favorite
10/29/2022

Lindsey
Loved it!
10/10/2022

Kailey
A little too fruity
10/4/2022

Very bitter out of the espresso machine. Made good lates though.

I really dislike nutty coffees by the way....
9/30/2022

Max
10 to 9 grind
9/4/2022

Gordon
This coffee was great! Easy to dial in, with a very rich body and a surprising (and enjoyable) acidic finish. Will definitely add this one to my queue again.
8/21/2022

Mark
Medium body. Decent flavor. An ok coffee.
8/2/2022

Katie
It's easily my favorite so far; it is delicious, and there's no bitterness. It brews into a smooth, delicious cup of coffee
7/16/2022

Andi
rich and easy to drink
7/13/2022

Michael
Good medium-dark roast, notes of chocolate and pulling shorter or faster bring out a pleasant acidity and lemon flavors. Medium body and crema. No roast flavors, smooth. Goes well in milk or as shot.
7/10/2022

Stephen
Good
6/19/2022

Brian
Very good, super fresh
6/9/2022

Aspen
My lesson not to judge a book by its cover! I didn’t think I’d like this one based on its description, but this espresso is very nice. It’s smooth and chocolatey. It tastes warm and invokes feelings of sitting around a campfire. I really enjoyed this espresso.
6/2/2022

Charlie
Delicious! Smells like peanut butter and chocolate. Probably the best coffee I have ever tasted.
6/1/2022

John
Very good, but lacking in richness or depth
5/30/2022

Craig
Nice full bodied espresso that goes well with milk.
5/27/2022

Amanda
This one is good but has taken me a little bit to dial in a good double shot. The others have used around the same settings on my grinder but this one needed a coarser grind. Tastes smooth and good though. Excellent for iced coffee.
Edit: I’m taking a star off though it could be user error. I have not been able to pull a consistent shot and, while it tastes good, it makes a mess every time I make espresso.
5/14/2022

Eric
Good flavor, makes some nice espresso.

Solid, Very smooth for an espresso; creamy caramel taste with out the usual distinctive bitterness that is one of the fun characteristics of espresso. Tried it twice and have realized I don't want to have it again. 5.

Jean-Paul
This was delicious, a bit darker than expected, but did pair nicely with in a latte.
5/5/2022

David
brewed equally well as espresso - nice crema and deep balanced flavor. nut flavors did not overpower chocolate after taste.
flavors more subtle with aeropress, well balanced, low acidity.
5/2/2022

Christina
This tasted like a lighter roast and not very full bodied.

Dillon
This is the only coffee so far that I wasn't crazy about and wouldn't want to get again. It had a weird aftertaste that I didn't enjoy.
4/30/2022

Amber
Can’t drink this. The bag is mislabeled and I don’t own a grinder. I was send whole bean in the guise of drip grind.
4/25/2022

David
Too light for my taste
4/20/2022

Lisa
Nice, slightly lighter than previous coffee, good in the mix.
4/20/2022

Kelsey
While not listed as a main note, this coffee has a hint of citrus, which I'm not a fan of.
4/16/2022

Anne
I didn’t like this one
4/14/2022

Kyle
Love the coffee and the branding!
3/27/2022

Bas
perfect coffee, great deep notes with spikes of 'gentle acidity'
3/2/2022

The Bassline Espresso Blend I received does not match the description here on Misto Box's website. Here on the Misto site, it describes the tasting notes as "chocolate, nutty, full bodied". But on the actual package, it reads, "Milk and dark chocolate bass notes with a slight lemon finish that bounces out of your cup." I experienced the lemon note as being rather strong, maybe even overpowering; it didn't come across as full bodied but rather sour and/or acidic, perhaps overly so. ...With quite a lot of tweaking I was able to later pull espresso that was a lot less sour tasting and bright with lemon, but overall it was still a 'meh' from me.

Second year on this program and this is undrinkable to me. Chocolate and nuts? I don’t get that but if that is what the professionals call it, leave me out. Sorry to say but this is my least favorite.
2/5/2022

Max
Too light, don't like lemon
2/2/2022

Mike
Very true to its description. Will definitely keep this on my short list
1/31/2022

Corey
Primarily used to make flat whites and americanos with coconut/almond milk. Mild nut and chocolate flavors come out in a flat white with a lingering bitterness. Same for an americano, but did get some faint citrus notes. OK, but I prefer a more pronounced flavor profile.
1/31/2022

Lyndi
This always felt weak even when I made it the same way that I do for all the others. Just didn’t love it as much, but the flavor was nice.
1/25/2022

Phil
A bit sour for my liking no matter what temperature or grind size.
1/20/2022

Michael
This has been my favorite so far. Can we please alternate between dark roast (but not too oily for our superautomatic) and medium roast? This will keep both my wife and me happy. thanks!
1/20/2022

Kimberly
We loved this one. Rich, full bodied, nicely balanced with depth.
1/6/2022

Liam
Pulling was again a breeze but the flavor profile was a tad bitter for my tastes (if I'm remembering correctly, lol).
12/12/2021

Anthony
A bit too dark.
12/3/2021

Jovanni
The flavor of this is what i want more of. Real lovely coffee flavor no notes of anything g that im not in to.
11/25/2021

Kelly
This coffee for me lacks in flavor and strength.
11/23/2021

Joe
Put in wrong review!!! This one is definitely NOT fruit forward. Nutty and smooth! This one makes excellent milk based drinks as well as straight up espresso using Ratio 2:1.
11/9/2021

Steven
Brewed as espresso / cappucino

17g in, 35g out, 25s

10/31/2021

Silvia
Very nice low acidity, chocolate notes
10/25/2021

Cory
Peanut butter! Lots of nutty notes with slight hints of chocolate. Honestly the body isn't as heavy as advertised but I'm alright with that. Maybe my favorite from Mistobox so far.

Brewed in the Ratio 8 coffee maker. 55g beans, medium grind (24/40 - Baratza Encore). 1.2L of water.
9/17/2021

Connie
delicious and beautiful crema!
8/25/2021

Christopher
I really like the stronger chocolate flavor in this pick. I do not get any nuttiness and only a slight bit of fruitiness in this. This also feels a bit less sour than the first pick. I can do without the burnt smell during the initial pour and sip. If I let it set for a few minutes the burnt smell goes a way and the chocolate taste is much more pronounced.

This was a good pick.
8/7/2021

Debra
Wow, love it! My fave so far. Definitely rich delicious flavor!
8/3/2021

Gerardo
Tasted a little bit acidic to me but with milk beverages it was an amazing piece.
8/3/2021

Jennifer
It is OK.
7/28/2021

Dimitris
Great choice, loved the mild notes of chocolate and raspberries, not overpowering at all and easy to tweak the extraction to bring the flavor out more or less
7/26/2021

Kimberly
Very smooth tasting coffee. Taste chocolate and fruit all in one sip
7/26/2021

James
Perfect roast for my Breville espresso machine. Bean was roasted perfectly and the aroma straight out of the bag was amazing.
6/27/2021

Todd
Earthy, chocolate, complex. We enjoyed it.
6/16/2021

Troy
This espresso was different and that's not a bad thing but I will just say that it was very interesting. I can taste Bass bottom notes of kind of chocolate like flavors then at the very same time I start getting a tangy citrus type of note that is kind of strange altogether. This by no means was a bad coffee but it's not one of my favorites but still pretty good
6/11/2021

Mees
I think if you like chocolate in your coffee this is great. I don't.
6/2/2021

Joshua
was a bit sweeter but good coffee.
5/29/2021

Jessica
Amazing!!!! My machine pulled this roast perfectly!! It is so SMOOTH! Delicious!
5/19/2021

Karen
Great dark coffee fit for me
5/13/2021

Justin
More earthy than any of the flavor descriptions given.
5/11/2021

Junhyuk
Too mild
4/23/2021

Samantha
The burst of lemon at the end really enhances the complexity of the bean!
4/12/2021

Carlos
Another great roast, i've been following a 1:2 ratio with my coffees lately. found that:

14 grams dose
28g extraction
28 seconds
yielded the best profile,
clearly chocolatey and nutty!!
best enjoyed with some water on the side, the finish is superb!
4/4/2021

Emanuel
Not the biggest fan of the lemon chocolate mix
4/1/2021

Dan
From the chemex and black, this blend tested...okay. Not that exciting. Mostly molasses and maybe some chocolate? This was a bit better as an americano from the aeropress, but really not by a whole lot. I think I tend to like more of the citrus-y and fruity blends more.
3/29/2021

Moni
This is probably one of the worst coffees ever! I do not taste chocolate or nuts.
3/24/2021

Lauren
We’ve enjoyed this espresso with no complaints.
3/19/2021

Angie
Loved it
3/18/2021

Jacqueline
Wow! Best yet. Crema thick sweet taste good
3/17/2021

Benjamin
Didn’t seem as fresh, notes fall flat
3/15/2021

Sloan
Not bad for espresso, but not great for regular coffee. Somewhat one note-ish
3/14/2021

Luke
liked this one
3/13/2021

Tyler
We liked the chocolate and nutty notes. The name is fitting, really is full bodied.
2/28/2021

Dawn
THIS was some of the BEST coffee I have tasted. Just... WOW.
2/25/2021

Michael
"Full bodied" is a bit strong, but great flavor.
2/10/2021

Matthew
Not very complex. Was extracting 30g from a 20g dose in between 25-30 seconds and wasn’t really finding the flavor
1/31/2021

Adam
Nothing too special. Did not taste chocolate and nuts.
1/28/2021

Caitlin
Full bodied but surprisingly mellow. Enjoyed this one.
1/27/2021

Jerald
I favor coffees that are less acidic and reminds me of chocolate. This roast checked off these boxes and more. I use an Aeropress where I followed the recommend brewing method published here. This could be my desert island coffee
1/25/2021

Jake
I made this both in a French press and as an espresso. Also made it in a latte. I really don't know how else to say it other than it just seemed kinda basic/boring. I didn't taste a whole lot of chocolate or nutty notes. Liked the Populace Espresso Proper much better.
1/23/2021

Robert
Not bad. Getting the correct grind is key.
1/9/2021

Kevin
Excellent and fruity. A house favorite.
12/30/2020

Peter
Bitter
12/26/2020

Paije
Perfect at a grind setting of 33 on our Oracle Touch. Not very bold when paired with milk
12/17/2020

Randy
Perfect Description of tastes! -chocolate, nuts and a heavier body.
Just brewed a aero press and it is wonderful!
12/11/2020

Edward
Not quite as good as the Organic One Black Expresso, but a close second at this point. Rich, chocolately.
12/4/2020

Rachel
Was not bold enough. Not a favorite.
11/30/2020

Thomas
Needed more chocolate to balance out brightness. 7 out of 10 on amount of body. Prepared as espresso on an expobar brewtus, with trials of 1:2 and 1:3 ratios.
11/28/2020

Yuhi
FRUITY, BRIGHT
11/20/2020

Emily
We loved this one. Great for straight shots, lattes, and americanos. Fully bodied but not overwhelmingly dark.
11/16/2020

Vika
We loved the body of this coffee.
11/11/2020

ChaRee
Espresso was very bitter. This bag was better than Espresso Proper. If I could give it 3.5 stars I would. Once I added milk the flavor was much better but none of the flavor notes really come through. First bag (Fall Line Espresso) is still the best by far.
11/2/2020

John
Also a good espresso roast. Only knock it that it wasn’t regional but still a strong choice.
10/31/2020

Rebekah
Too bitter, very difficultto balance.
10/23/2020

Taylor
Tasty! Was excited to drink this every morning!
10/11/2020

James
Really interesting roast. When you taste it starts out light but shifts to medium as it sits on your palette. I’m not a fan of light roasts because I find them too acidic. But since these beans are a medium roast you get the taste of a light roast without the acidity. Dialing it in I was able to get the notes of light chocolate and nuts but no matter how much I tinkered I couldn’t get rid of a powdery feeling at the tail end of the after taste which is why it’s getting a 4 for me,
10/8/2020

Samuel
This is outstanding! It is a great rich and full flavor. It’s my favorite coffee so far! I could drink this every day and be very happy to have such a daily coffee treat.
10/5/2020

Edgar
Nuttyness was too strong, coffee tasted like peanut butter
9/27/2020

Seula
It is somewhat acid. I personally prefer darker blends
9/23/2020

Eugenia
This one is keeping me on my toes. First shot was heavy on the nutty flavor with some bold chocolate notes, the following shot packed a citrus punch. I'm enjoying the gamut of clear distinct flavors. This is one that is more interesting as an espresso rather than in a cappuccino.
9/22/2020

Alyssa
A little strong but good flavor.
9/15/2020

Nicholas
It was good, not my favorite
9/13/2020

Bethany
Good, but I only need espresso every couple of months please.
9/12/2020

Will
Notes indicate full bodied but I found the shots to be thinner and weaker than I'd prefer. Coffee was both bitter and sour, no matter how I pulled the shot. Never was able to get a great shot.
9/8/2020

Orlando
Great Taste very smooth and creamy as I like it.
9/8/2020

Erik
This was fantastic. It made excellent espresso. Good "neat" or in milk drinks.
9/1/2020

Ben
Delicious! I was on vacation and had to use this with my Moka not my usual espresso machine, so didn't get to really evaluate it properly. But I did think it was tasty in iced coffees. I'd get it again!
8/21/2020

Curtis
Just starting it, so maybe too early to judge -- but WOW! Lighter roast, so went fine. First 4x pulls over 2 days came out great. Chocolate, today some cinnamon, super smooth with no bitterness. Really like it so far!
8/17/2020

andrew
No creme, kinda flat
8/14/2020

Jeremy
Better than the last one. A little bitter for my taste,though.
8/13/2020

Bobby
Excellent
8/6/2020

Rychelle
Pretty good for an every day cup of coffee. I liked the notes. It also makes a good iced coffee

Meg
I loved this coffee and would like to get more
5/12/2020

Martin
Good, but slightly less so than the previous.

Love it, nice blend goes great with my choice of creamer (sweet cream Chobani half and half

It says full bodied but this was very light and not enjoyable.

Definitely one of our favorites to date! Super smooth, not acidic at all, smelled wonderful.
12/3/2018

Joe
like the chocolate flavors
9/19/2018

Tim
Lots of flavor!
9/15/2018

Nathan
Chocolate, nutty, toasty. Really enjoyed this one. I had to grind a lot coarser than usual in our breville barista touch.
8/2/2018

Matthew
It was easy to pull a decent shot with this espresso blend. The flavor profile is as described, chocolatey and nutty with a bit of citrus, which is much more pronounced when consumed as an espresso shot.
7/22/2018

Roshan
Very light and citrusy, tasted really weird. Only making this coffee with pourover made it bearable
5/30/2018

Carl
Extremely acidic no matter how I pull it. Very bitter.
5/22/2018

Liz
One of us loved it, the other not so much. (We are pretty opposite in life, generally, anyway!) Much fruitier and nuttier than chocolatey; the "espresso" in the title didn't play out in the cup we brewed in our basic drip machine.
3/18/2018

Phillip
Ok roast...but not my most favorite. If there are more like the Honduras Las Capucas I'd be super interested. :)
2/24/2018

Jacob
I really enjoyed this blend, tasted notes of chocolate and nutty. smooth cup of coffee
1/28/2018

Jonathan
Best espresso i've received in a few orders. juicy, lingerling flavor, savory almost. i think I'm loving heavier body espresso. Great choice!
12/11/2017

Gautham
A little too nutty.
10/3/2017

Joseph
A pretty good bean, nice flavor, lattes and cappuccinos were excellent
9/5/2017

Michael
My first 5-star coffee from Mistobox. I use it with my secura automatic grinder, and Gaggia Old White Classic espresso machine for my latte every morning.

Fantastic taste, smooth and creamy. Tastes like it came from an artisan coffee shop. Hey Mistobox Coffee Gurus, more of this please!! :)
9/1/2017

Justin
So good! Was awesome for espresso and pour over! I'd like this one again!
8/12/2017

Dale
Didn't like not robust enough. Could hardly taste the coffee in my latte
7/15/2017

Stephen
Very good flavor. Can really taste the chocolate nutty flavor.
5/27/2017

Nathan
Smelled good, and had some nice notes, was a little flatter taste than I expected with the aroma.
4/18/2017

Kate
Great flavor, loved the heavier body. Made absolutely perfect lattes every time.
3/23/2017

Matt
Excellent for espresso...very balanced.
2/28/2017

Michael
Not bad, just not a lot of noticeable flavor
2/3/2017

Robin
It was a little bit too mild
10/17/2016

Paul
Tastes stale and old. Was very light, almost certainly not an expresso blend. Dumped the beans after a few pulls as it was undrinkable.
10/11/2016

Steve
Makes a great espresso as well as a pourover. No bitterness whatsoever. I used half the bag to make a small batch of (Japanese style) cold brew, which was amazing. This is a really good all-purpose blend.
7/11/2016

Rachelle & Brian
Great coffee. Smooth and dark, turned out great in our espresso machine and iced!
7/7/2016

Chris
I really liked this cup. The beans smelled fantastic when I opened the bag. I brewed with a french press, and I tasted very strong chocolatey notes on my first sip. Those notes were followed by a pleasant citrusy finish.
6/21/2016

Sara
Not as dark of a roast as I had hoped for.
6/5/2016

Kenny
Tastes great. Nice and dark.
5/17/2016

Nicole
Nice, smooth. chocolate notes.
5/13/2016

brent
Good body, I'm not a milk-drink kind of guy, but it did pair well with milk.... pretty mellow and I didn't pull a bad shot.
2/24/2016

Susan
I love this coffee!
2/19/2016

Veronica
LOVE IT!
2/12/2016

Allyson
This was a good strong every day blend. A little stronger than I like, but it tasted great
12/17/2015

Courtney
Slightly tart but with good body and and the fruit isn't overpowering at all. Really liked it.
11/26/2015

Christopher
Light body with floral flavors.
10/27/2015

Cristina
Great for everyday coffee.
10/13/2015

Maria
it was okay - not too bad but needed something a little stronger.
8/11/2015

Ryan
While the description was pretty dead on, I'm not sure this is what I was looking for out of my espresso. I don't make a ton of milk based drinks, but this did compliment the latte and cortados I made well, with a somewhat dark hot cocoa flavor. By itself in a straight ristretto shot is was a bit bland and too nutty for me. A longer shot was easier, still too chocolatey and nutty for a straight shot for me. I noticed on the bag this roaster offers an exotic roast/blend, which might have been more up my alley.
7/12/2015

Alec
Great and consistent espresso. Nice acidity with a nutty sweetness and strong chocolate notes.
6/14/2015

JON
Even though I'm not a big fan of milk/chocolate coffees, it didn't subtract from the taste of it. My wife (who happens to be lactose intolerant) really enjoyed this one.
