Not to my taste, too acidic/fruity/something
2/19/2025
This coffee was confusing - it feels like it was thrown together with a bunch of leftover/random beans. This may be the first one that I received that I felt like was nearly undrinkable.

This was sent to me as part of my DARK ROAST coffee profile. NEWS FLASH: it's not dark. It even says Medium on it. It's drinkable but uninteresting. Palatable with a flavored creamer. No no no, never again. Please do NOT send this to dark roast Mistoboxers.
2/25/2024
Lovely aroma and delicious coffee, not super bold, but spices come through very nicely.
2/17/2024
This is a brilliantly balanced blend. Just the right bit of brightness to balance the smoky notes in the dark roast. Perfect in milk drinks or as straight shots. Can drink this one all day long.

One of our least favorites in a while! Maybe it's the "earthy" quality but it almost feels like it has tobacco overtones and somehow feels more acidic that our usual nutty/ chocolatey blends.
8/15/2023
It's not bad, but the blend of medium- and dark-roast Sumatra didn't really improve over just having one or the other. It doesn't have the strong earthiness that I associate with Sumatran coffee, so it could be a good choice for folks who think other Sumatran coffees taste like dirt.
5/24/2023
The. It’s a little fruity it’s good but I prefer darker notes like nutty Smokey or dark chocolate
1/8/2023
I very much enjoyed the blend of dark and medium flavors
12/15/2022
very smooth
11/13/2022
Oily
9/17/2022
Best one
8/12/2022
Solid cup of coffee, strong coffee flavor, not very acidic. A bit dry and thin on the mouthfeel.
8/8/2022
One of the best so far! The blend is the right balance between intensity, body, and flavor. The earthy aroma is on point, and the mild spicy and smoky notes make it stand out.
7/23/2022
great coffee, smooth and rich.
1/31/2022
Too acidic
1/11/2022
Fantastic! Excellent blend. Extremely balanced and not at all boring.
11/9/2021
Loved
10/4/2021
Smooth taste. Not a lot of flavor.
9/10/2021
probably the least interesting coffee we have gotten. Required a lot of beans to taste rich.
8/6/2021
Interesting idea, like 2 different roasts in the same bag.
5/20/2021
One of the best coffees I've ever had. Tastes like chocolate. Good hot and cold.
5/7/2021
Very earthy, dark and lighter beans. Great flavor
4/21/2021
Too smoky for my preferences
4/16/2021
My favorite so far. Really interesting. First ‘smoky’ blend where other flavors came through as well and the smoke didn’t dominate.
3/18/2021
Good coffee. Nothing special, but overall just a good cup of coffee.
3/7/2021
A little too earthy
3/3/2021
It's drinkable, but very average.
2/28/2021
Pretty darn good!
2/15/2021
Excellent dark and tan
2/12/2021
Earthy. Nice medium blend. Very easy to drink in the French press. All around solid coffee.
1/20/2021
I would say it's more of a medium boldness. If black coffee is too much for you this might be a good option.
1/13/2021
Good cup of coffee. Had to make it a little stronger but very nice.
11/30/2020
I love this, smoky and full flavored
11/24/2020
Decent, although the depth of flavor I like was missing.
11/8/2020
not as bold as I like, but I did like the flavor
11/8/2020
Great aroma. Standard coffee. Good all methods.
8/24/2020
beans were oily and coffee was bitter.
7/20/2020
I never received this coffee despite USPS tracking showing it as “delivered” :(
7/6/2020
Too dark for my liking. Not terrible with milk, but the smell itself was a bit off-putting. Wouldn’t get it again.
7/1/2020
Another hit!
5/20/2020
Ok. Could be a little more full bodied.
5/4/2020
I really liked this one. The dark roast and the medium blended really well.
5/1/2020
Overall OK to good. Seems to have a 'dull' note that I can't eliminate via grinding more fine/coarse. Not as flavorful as I would have expected, mostly a chocolate note.
4/27/2020
Not flavorful
4/25/2020
Not bad, but I think the blend doesn't quite work/makes the flavors clash a bit. Overall, just OK.
4/25/2020
Easy drinking
1/26/2020
I am not particularly fond of multi-bean/multi-roasted bean mixes.
1/23/2020
this is horrendous. if you think this is could you should probably have your account revoked.
1/15/2019
Reallyh liked it
11/9/2018
We LOVE this coffee. We’ve been seeking a blend like this for a while. Please send us more like Blue Heeler!
9/23/2018
Good roast level, lacks some interest and one dimensional when brewed by siphon but excellent in Chemex or press.
8/8/2018
Very balanced coffee for me. Nice earthy flavors without being tea-like. While I would enjoy drinking this from time to time I generally want a more roasty, robust flavor.
On second tasting I’ve dropped it to 3 stars.

Little too toasty
5/30/2018
Excellent
4/12/2018
Love this coffee! It is bold but not too much. Nice earthy coffee. I went away for the weekend and had to drink hotel coffee! Missed my own coffee so much! It was nice to taste fresh clean coffee again! Great choice! As far as delivery time, I had another bag of coffe when I received my first delivery so I will have to let you know how long this one lasts.
Thanks!
Thanks!
2/19/2018
a little sour
1/19/2018
too acidic
11/2/2017
This is a wonderful blend. Love the aroma and flavor of this one.
9/26/2017
Dark and spicy. Smooth finish. Not upfront but a pleasant cup nonetheless.
9/15/2017
I did not like the finish on this coffee, tasted sort of sour.
6/24/2017
Coffee was good/just alright but nothing very special... a bit on the weak side. Would perfer a stronger smoky richer more complex blend
6/12/2017
Love the bold flavor and aroma. Exactly how I like my coffee...great choice!
6/5/2017
Great aroma. Bold and earthy flavor.
6/1/2017
Amazing how good, good coffee can be.
5/22/2017
A lot of flavor, but too acidic for my taste. I think I just prefer darker coffee.
5/21/2017
Disappointed. Thin bodied, weak flavor, (even using more grounds per brew) higher caffeine content, which I don't want. I normally would not choose a 'blend' as it ends up being essentially a medium roast. :/
5/20/2017
Liked the dark roasted
5/19/2017
good, but not great for me. Just a touch too acidic
5/17/2017
Seth, I tried sending comments on my phone but was unsure if they were sent cause the website did not function properly, so if this is a repeat, I apologize in advance. With respect to the Colecitivo Blue Heeler, upon the first taste, I thought it was delicious, smooth, dark rich flavor. As I drank more, there was a slight aftertaste that was more unpleasant as I drank more. It lingered on the palate making each sip less enjoyable than the last.
5/14/2017
just a really poor taste
5/11/2017
This is closer to what I like. It was a solid cup with good flavor. I still want something that lingers just a little bit more.
5/9/2017
Magnificent
4/25/2017
Not bad but it's a gift I would'nt buy this brand again
4/22/2017
Nice round flavor with rich tones. I like the aroma and the brewed flavor
4/19/2017
The Blue Heeler was good. However, I am looking forward to trying your single origin coffee.
4/17/2017
Probably my favorite so far of the three. I'd probably like a slightly darker roast. Acidity level was good.
4/16/2017
Very interesting coffee! I like the blend of lighter and darker roasts. The flavor was good but I don't think it was particularly "bold" enough for me.
4/15/2017
Mmmmmm!
4/15/2017
This is one of the best coffees I have ever had in my life. I will definitely be ordering this a lot.
4/14/2017
overall good taste, but would prefer a little bolder brew, perhaps just a tad less spice.
4/8/2017
We loved the smoothness of this coffee. We like a very bold coffee and this was, perhaps, a bit less bold than usual. The flavor IS great and we would definitely put it high on our list.
3/29/2017
I love the smell and flavors of this coffee. A great full body with smoky carmel after tones. It left me wanting more a little later in the day.
3/26/2017
Love this Blue Heeler. Perfect blend of bold but not acid-y. Very nice and subtle hints of chocolate and earthy and "roast". And it's one of the best smelling coffees ever when you open the bag! Scents the whole kitchen! A+
3/21/2017
Not as strong as the others I've received but still quite nice. I may not be as earthy-inclined as I thought!
3/19/2017
Huge fan of Collectivo, so I was very happy to see this show up in my first delivery. 5 Stars.
3/8/2017
It has great flavor, but it's too lite for my tastes. I personally like something a bit darker.
3/8/2017
Very Good
3/2/2017
Liked the earthy, liked the smokey an the dark chocolatey smoothness. Good go to. Would like a little more complexity.
3/1/2017
Earthy is a great description for these beans. I was concerned that the flavor would be too bitter or intense, but when made as french press, this is actually a very flavorful and enjoyable cup of coffee. Seems like this would be a great bean for an espresso, but I haven't been brave enough to prepare one myself.
2/20/2017
Short on flavor. Like the dark/light blend.
2/19/2017
Good flavors for sure, and I loved that this is smooth, but I prefer a darker roast.
2/12/2017
great taste. very smooth
2/11/2017
Very average coffee. Slightly darker roust with more complexity might be better
2/10/2017
We both liked this coffee. Good body without the "burnt" taste of some dark roasts.
2/9/2017
Great brew
2/9/2017
Quality coffee, a little to light for me however. I prefer a darker roast rather than a blend of medium and dark.
2/6/2017
Is there an even darker roasted coffee with similar other qualities that can be sent for my next shipment?
2/6/2017
Amazing
2/6/2017
best one yet
2/1/2017
Did not like the spice taste and coffee taste was too mild. Usually like Sumatra coffee.
1/31/2017
One of my absolute favorites. I prefer strong dark roasts normally, this blend though strikes a perfect balance. It's smooth and not acidic. The flavor is strong without tasting burnt or too bitter. When I want it stronger I just change the ratio of water. My wife prefers lighter roast and I prefer darker, and we both love this blend. Blue Heeler is fantastic.
1/29/2017
Pretty darn good. Interesting blend.
1/28/2017
Too light
1/27/2017
We've loved this one!
1/27/2017
It was fantastic! Just didn't rate excellent because the earthy tones can come off a BIT strong.
1/26/2017
Wonderful taste, but would prefer a little more darker roast. It felt a little watered down when I would Aeropress a cup. I found that I would need to add a lot more grind to compensate for the taste. Overall a good smooth cup of coffee - no strong aftertaste or film left in my mouth!
1/26/2017
This is a very pleasing blend, but a bit on the "thin" side for my taste. Perhaps the Sumatra soil is not for me.
1/25/2017
Very smooth, I liked that. I got the earthy aroma, but missed the spicy, subtly smoky flavor. I'm brewing using an Espro French Press and like this coffee's smoothness. I'm interested and wish I got the smoky flavor.
1/23/2017
Good blend, solid flavor given it is a mix of both regular and dark roasted coffee beans. Looked cool pouring them into the grinder
1/23/2017
Delicious. The description on the packaging and Seth's description really match the coffee perfectly as you can see the blended beans. Some dark, some medium, all amazing. Seriously, from first smell all the way through drinking this coffee is amazing. I definitely wouldn't mind getting this one again.
1/22/2017
didn't seem to have enough aroma. prefer something with more vibrancy.
1/20/2017
I liked this coffee, but thought it could use a better balance between dark and regular roast beans. I generally like Sumatra coffees but this one was a bit lighter than I prefer.
1/18/2017
Good mix of bold and medium. I enjoyed it more than the last two sent. They were very dry and bitter.
1/17/2017
Very smooth. Enjoyable.
1/16/2017
I really am enjoying this blend.
1/15/2017
My wife like it. I did not. But since I currently drink French Market Dark Roast Chicory & Coffee. My taste is different than my wifes. Hoping the Parisi Italian is more to my liking.
1/15/2017
I usually prefer darker coffees but this is really good. It's somewhere between medium and dark and has a really complex, interesting finish.
1/14/2017
Overall a very good coffee. A. It more of a earthy flavor than I'd normally pick, but I was pleasantly surprised.
1/14/2017
Smooth but heavy and without the acidic taste. Would definitely buy this one-off.
1/13/2017
I found the coffee to have a bit more flavor than the Starbucks beans I normally buy, but I just found the improvement to be marginal. My son (a Mistobox member who gave me the gift subscription) had served me some of his AKA Coffee, BFF Blend (chocolate, nutty, bold) and I was immediately struck by the rich flavor of this blend. I also plan to give my grinder a good cleaning to see if this makes a positive difference in my Blue Heeler Signature.
1/11/2017
I like it even DARKER.
1/11/2017
The Blue Heeler Signature Blend offered a robust array of flavors that did not require the use of either cream or sugar to enjoy the full body flavors of the coffee. In my particular palette, the spicy notes did not enrich the overall flavor profile of the coffee and I found the taste a bit too overpowering without sufficient balance that I would normally enjoy in either a French Roast or French pressed coffee. A more medium to dark blend would provide a few more floral and nutty flavors that would undermine the supreme dark profile. The Blue Heeler Signature Blend offered a solid start to the Mistobox experience and the coffee has tasted much better the more I open the bag.
1/11/2017
I lot a like of this. I like the smoky-ness. I love the full body. This is pretty close to my perfect blend of coffee.
1/10/2017
I like it. My first cup was a bit acidic but I think part of it was grinding too fine. I ground it a bit less and added more beans then the first time to my moka pot and it was much better. My favorite blend is a mix of dark roasted latin american beans "Espresso" by Bent Tree (3 parts) to 1 part medium roasted beans from Guatemala by Bent Tree. Blue Heeler is a close second. Thanks!
1/10/2017
I like how smooth it is, but the earthy flavors overpowered my palette a little too much. I'd like to receive something with more chocolate notes or fruity notes if possible!
1/10/2017
Really GOOD! I don't think I've ever seen a blend of BOTH French roast and "medium" roasted beans MIXED together before. It created such a nice balanced cup!! Very cool.
1/9/2017
Too weak for my taste
1/9/2017
Great coffee! Finicky when trying to pull shots. Worked wonders in the Clever. 2:30 total brew time. Not a second longer.
Really great in the Aeropress as well!
Really great in the Aeropress as well!
1/9/2017
Brewed nicely could be a darker/richer for 5 stars...but very good!
1/9/2017
Loved this! Bold yet smooth! I thought it made a very comforting cup.
1/8/2017
Very smooth flavor - not too strong/bitter
1/8/2017
Very smooth blend, no acidity no just dark enough. Very enjoyable.
1/8/2017
It's tough because this is the first coffee I received from Misto. Compared to what I have been drinking it was much smoother but still had some body and bold flavor. This coffee sets the baseline very high.
1/5/2017
Good morning! The Signature Blend is a very smooth, enjoyable coffee. For our second coffee delivery I would be interested in trying a coffee that has a bolder flavor among your dark roast offerings. Thank you.
1/5/2017
I enjoyed the way the two types of bean came together in this blend - less harsh than the straight up dark roasts that I have usually been using. Felt like I could taste better flavors but still had the earthiness that I like.
1/4/2017
lots of flavor and body. Not overpowering.
1/3/2017
Somewhat astringent - I prefer a darker, less acidic blend with richer or chocolate or caramel flavors.
1/2/2017
It was a little too smoky for my tastes, but perfect if you like that flavor.
12/29/2016
Very good!
12/3/2016
I love this coffee brand! It's served in their cafes in nearby Milwaukee, and I always get some when I'm there. This is one of the best coffees I've had from Mistrobox. Love the blend of regular and dark roast!
11/18/2016
It's ok. I didn't like it as much as the samples.
10/31/2016
