Coffee Story
Description
The Classic French was blended and roasted for you by Tony's Coffee. Classic French is Tony's darkest, heartiest blend. While they’re always refining their roast profiles, they like to think of this coffee as an homage to the roasting style of 1971 - the year of Tony's was founded. We find this blend to be a particularly tasty dark roast, with rich notes of molasses, hickory and smoke.

This was good. I liked the previous month a little better: it had more flavor.

Didn't have much flavor, not very strong

Definitely get the smoke on this one.

A little bland
12/8/2020
Pretty bland and not much in terms of bold or other flavors.
11/2/2020
burnt after taste
10/20/2020
I really enjoyed this brew. I spent most of my life adding cream to coffee but found I enjoyed this one black.
10/17/2020
Best one yet!! I love this cup so much I choose it for morning and afternoon. Great flavor and so bold.
9/13/2020
Very rich
8/31/2020
This coffee tastes pretty good. It’s a little too bitter for me, but I enjoyed the caramel notes. It’s better than the last coffee. Tony’s has a nice smell, you can smell the smoke and molasses.
8/10/2020
I liked this coffee very much. It has a good aroma, the right size grind for me (drip) and just has a great taste.
7/29/2020
Recognizing a trend smoky = burnt. This is also not super special but drinkable.
7/27/2020
Rich and delicious
7/24/2020
A little to rich
7/11/2020
This one was really good for cold brew.
6/28/2020
I really did not enjoy this. I appreciate the variety you are sending but the burnt/smoky flavor is not working for me. I appreciate you guys testing my platte though!
6/2/2020
Quite good. Nice robust flavor. Slightly lacking in flavor depth but overall I liked it.
5/17/2020
Love it! All my favorite flavors ❤️
5/9/2020
Too bitter
4/14/2020
Good nutty flavor
4/8/2020
Well rounded, classic rich flavor that is not invasive. Perfect for the first thing in the morning.
4/3/2020
I really liked this one, very smooth and good taste.
4/3/2020
This coffee lacked a unique or robust flavor.
3/24/2020
Best one so far. Great flavor.
3/22/2020
Great chocolaty taste and everyone who has tried it loved it. Best one I've had yet!
1/6/2020
Pleasant coffee, but not as strong as I would have liked.
1/3/2020
Another good, bold coffee. It wouldn’t be my everyday coffee, but enjoyed it nonetheless
11/29/2019
Loved this one
10/25/2019
ok
9/28/2019
excellent dark roast!
8/19/2019
Love this coffee!! Great for cold brew as well as hit. A hint of smoky.
8/11/2019
Smelled great...after grinding, and the taste is clearly a french roast, but there was no pleasant after taste. So if all I did was sniff the fresh-ground coffee, it would be a winner.
Wouldn't pick it again.
Wouldn't pick it again.
8/8/2019
This is by far my favorite. It is strong and smooth.
7/15/2019
It was okay. Somewhat forgettable.
6/2/2019
Rich flavor
5/23/2019
I hate French Roast. But I really like this one. It is one of the best coffees I have tasted
5/1/2019
Great flavor and bold rich taste
5/1/2019
Tasted really good but definitely gave me the urge to have a “movement” which doesn’t ever happen with other coffees I have drank.
5/1/2019
good flavor and aroma
4/27/2019
It has a great smell and the taste is pleasant. It's just not bold enough for me.
4/24/2019
both my wife and I really enjoyed this. It was my favorite so far.
4/18/2019
Favorite one we've tried so far!
4/16/2019
It is good,
4/13/2019
Overall a good cup of coffee. Love the smoky and chocolate flavor it has. A little on the sweeter side for me, but really enjoy it so far.
4/2/2019
Excellent, bold flavor!
3/30/2019
Delicious and smooth
3/29/2019
We liked it a lot.
3/29/2019
Really smooth and rich. Easy to drink. Enjoyed the coffee! French roast is my go-to coffee.
3/19/2019
Tony’s os a good coffee. I’m partial to French Roast, but dropped a star because I thought the flavor was a bit off (perhaps the molasses).
3/18/2019
It had an acidic aftertaste.
3/17/2019
Robust coffee. Very good
3/16/2019
Enjoyed it, full body.
3/14/2019
Looking for a little more bold flavor like espresso
3/14/2019
We love this roast. And surprised. Is this French Roast? This is a serious question. I absolutely detest French Roast - which I consider harsh and ineptly dark. (And I told Misto I don’t like French Roast
But the coffee superb! This is beautifully delicate but dark coffee. It is dark but without any suggestion of the muddiness many dark coffees
bring.
So. Perhaps I’ve never had a truly good French Roast before. Regardless, this is among the best coffees I’ve ever had. Many thanks.

Great tasting coffee, very smooth
3/14/2019
Extremely good coffee!
2/27/2019
Awesome coffee. Husband loved, loved it!! A little hard on my tummy.
2/26/2019
A better choice than Drifter's Kickapoo. Smooth and full bodied with no bitter aftertaste.
2/25/2019
I love this coffee, it's rich and smooth, no bitterness at all. I'm learning to drink coffee black instead of "light and sweet" and this coffee allows me to do that. It's delicious!
2/24/2019
Excellent Choice, Thanks!
2/18/2019
Absolutely loved this coffee. It was really enjoyable and I could even taste the care of the smoky hickory that goes into it. I will be looking more into Tony's in the future!
2/7/2019
Smooth and robust flavor.
2/7/2019
Loved the flavor! Very smooth.
2/7/2019
Too acidic. Very disappointing as this was my first experience with Misto. I said in my survey that my least favorite Starbucks blends were French and Italian, yet that is all you have sent! This was a gift and I will NOT be renewing. I am sure this coffee is good for someone but do not fit my profile.
2/6/2019
Nice round flavor. Rich but not too burnt.
2/5/2019
A little weak.
2/2/2019
I didn't feel like it had that deep intense flavor. A bit weak for me unless I used double the recommendations.
2/1/2019
I liked it very much. It was smooth and earthy but not tart. I'm looking forward to finding the coffee that will "Knock my socks off."
1/31/2019
Loved it.
1/30/2019
Very good.... need a little more full flavor
1/30/2019
Good but not a favorite
1/30/2019
I don't usually like dark roast but it had a lot of character, it was fun to try something different!
1/29/2019
Brewing with the Keurig my coffee tasted a little watered down. I think I would like to try a stronger coffee. I set my brewer on the strong setting and did 8 ounces. It was better using the 6 ounces.
1/29/2019
Enjoyed this one
1/26/2019
Looks like my coffe is coming on a Cuban rafter from South America, Slow very slow...
1/25/2019
Wow! You guys completely NAILED it out of the gates. This is a great coffee and right up our alley on all notes. Really love everything about this gem. Thanks so much! Great work, Mistobox!
1/25/2019
Tasted maybe a little too fruity. The flavor wasn't quite as smooth as we'd usually like. Took a few cups to grow to like it.
But overall, we are enjoying it!

Great! Rich and perfect for me.
1/23/2019
a little too light
1/21/2019
Not the best coffee I've ever had, but very good. Nice smoothness without over bearing or acidic aftertaste.
1/20/2019
Same again next time please
1/20/2019
Fairly good but still not as deep as we prefer
1/20/2019
Smooth and Smoky
Enjoyed this one thoroughly! Wanting more but also wanting to try others. So many coffees, so little time.

1/17/2019
Would like a stronger coffee
1/16/2019
Certainly rich, bold, although slightly acidic. Enjoyable more as the morning jolt than sipping late morning or early afternoon.
1/16/2019
I liked the Classic French Roast. It is very rich, which I like. I am also into the caramel-y notes...I think that the smoky-ness leave a bit of an unpleasant aftertaste...I like it on my tongue, but not after I have swallowed it... lol. Hope that makes sense!!
1/16/2019
I liked this coffee. It was smooth. Didn’t notice any fruity/acidic flavors (which is a good thing). Definitely tasted caramel which I really liked.
I swear this coffee gave me the worst coffee breath of my life . . .

A little on the greasier side for the machine, but delicious flavor. Thank you!
1/15/2019
I used it to make iced coffee as well as hot coffee in my french press. Great flavor and hit all the right notes each time I brewed it.
1/15/2019
I thought this coffee was good. I tried it both using my aeropress as well as steeping overnight and making cold brew. I preferred this coffee hot rather than cold. The flavor profile wasn't as distinct as I would have liked.
1/15/2019
Was good. Would like to try something from Costa Rica.
1/14/2019
Great flavor exactly as described. Really enjoying it. Thank you!
1/14/2019
I thought it had a smooth, but robust flavor. This was a coffee that I would definitely drink again.
1/14/2019
Wonderful coffee. I prepared it a few different ways and varied grind settings. Was wonderful each time. Nice strong bold flavors with a lingering Smoky and nutty flavor. Just the right amount of bitterness. Would purchase again.
1/14/2019
Too burnt tasting.
1/14/2019
Love it!
1/14/2019
Delicious!
1/14/2019
Awesome
1/13/2019
We liked the low-acid profile and finish of the coffee.
1/13/2019
It was amazing. We really enjoyed the flavor.
1/13/2019
The coffee seemed one dimensional and lacked a full bodied flavor profile. Probably a filler bean mix from central and south America.
1/12/2019
really about 4.5 stars. There is an espresso grind I buy locally that I compare everything else to, and this one was quite close.
1/12/2019
I love the classic coffee flavor of these beans, which make for a hearty and warm cup! This is right up my alley in terms of the deep flavors.
1/12/2019
This just tasted burnt and bitter
1/12/2019
Almost perfect. Could have been a little bolder for my taste.
1/12/2019
I have been drinking grocery story beans so first impression of Tony's Classic French was much better than store beans. I plan to go back to store beans for a couple days to be able to make better comments.
1/12/2019
Great flavor
1/12/2019
tasted a lot like starbucks. I not a big fan of french roast
1/11/2019
It was very good. We don’t usually like french roast, but we liked this.
We typically go for Indonesian darks.

1/11/2019
Earthy, smoky scent
1/10/2019
A little darker and smokier than I prefer. It was very fresh, so that is a big plus. Very bold and smooth.
1/10/2019
Very nice aroma and flavor, a little bit burnt tasting but I won't have any trouble getting through the bag.
1/10/2019
Good coffee, perhaps a little more earthy than I usually like. May be the time of year as well, in the winter, coffee with a little more distinct flavors give me something to think about rather than just the earthy notes I may prefer in the summer.
1/10/2019
Nutty and delicious.
1/10/2019
Bold and beautiful...is still get a hint of fruit.
1/10/2019
Fantastic. Rich, smoky but no hint of bitterness.
1/10/2019
This coffee was weaker than we would have liked.
1/10/2019
Very smooth and silky with wonderful dark overtones. Aroma is amazing.
1/10/2019
Is there a coffee that is richer/thicker or more flavorful that I could try?
1/10/2019
I like this coffee a lot, feels strong and dark enough. Tast-wise, I could even do a little darker. Overall an amazing coffee, thanks!
1/9/2019
really flavorful and toasty!
1/9/2019
Delicious. We thought this coffee was great – bold and flavorful, but still smooth and drinkable. Loved it.
1/9/2019
Did not like it. Tasted like burnt coffee.
1/8/2019
Tasty. Freshly roasted. I like French roast's, but I don't love them. I am a fan of dark roasts but prefer the ones that are a tad less smoky . That being said, this was a great coffee and I would purchase. I am looking forward to tasting others as well.
1/8/2019
I liked this coffee. We usually buy a dark, Jamaican blend. Do you have anything like that? It’s dark, rich, and slightly flavored.
1/8/2019
Rich and caramel do seem like good descriptors (I did not get smoky), and I liked it. I drink coffee black and pretty strong, hot when I start and pretty cool by the end, so I like a coffee that tastes good at both temperatures. A little milder than Peet's Major Dickason's blend, which is my favorite. A good coffee I would drink again.
1/7/2019
We enjoyed this coffee. It is very smooth. Low-acidity, very little "bite" - almost to the point that we would prefer a bit more roughness (personal preference). But, this is definitely a great coffee!
1/7/2019
Really good! The smoky notes really came through. Very rich.
1/7/2019
Really liked this coffee. I like dark and rich w chocolate notes. Not sure about Smokey in a description but this is very good and I do like it.
1/6/2019
it's fine.
1/6/2019
This is terrific coffee. The fact it was roasted about 3 days before I began to enjoy adds to the freshness and appeal. Chocolate and caramel notes are easily distinguished and the coffee is exceptionally rich. It has medium acidity. My drip brew grind from you guys matched well to my French Press brewing technique. Good first choice for me. Thank you.
1/5/2019
I liked it for a French Roast, even though I think I wrote something about not wanting French Roasts in my flavor profile. It did have a pretty good rich flavor, with some smokiness present. In the future avoiding French Roasts would be great, but this one was pretty good.
1/5/2019
It was strong and smokey, but it had more of a bitter end than I prefer.
1/5/2019
I tasted creamy chocolate. The roast was perfect. These comments exhaust my coffee vocabulary!
1/5/2019
It was ok. Not as flavorful as I would like. I’m a neophyte, so take this with a big grain of salt. I didn’t find this to be as full bodied as I’d have thought. It was smooth, but kind of boring. The caramel was not apparent to me. I’d be open to any suggestions for something a bit more interesting.
1/5/2019
Nice and smooth, liked the dark roast. Would like to try something also dark roast, but with a bit of a bite.....(not as smooth)...fruity or citrusy, definitely NOT burnt or smoky.
1/5/2019
I would prefer a bolder flavor.
1/4/2019
Very smooth with no hints of bitterness
1/3/2019
Really enjoyed this one and very fresh. Good to drink black or with a creamer.
1/3/2019
Was tasty. Definitely in the right ballpark, could go richer with less bite.
1/3/2019
It is a good choice. I like the low acidity. I only drink coffee first thing in the morning and like something pretty strong. I'd like to try a darker coffee.
1/3/2019
I need to keep using it to give it a fair review. I have a cold and don't think my taste is as helpful as usual.
1/3/2019
Great coffee, very much aligns with my taste and what I typically drink! Now that you’ve nailed down my palate, I’d like to try something slightly different. Perhaps something with chocolate and berry notes?
1/3/2019
It’s a little too dark for my liking, but my bigger problem is I feel like the coffee lacks depth. All I taste is the darkness without any real richness.
1/3/2019
It's a little too bold of a flavor for me I think. I just got an espresso machine, so I think I want something a little different next time.
1/3/2019
This was delicious! My husband and I quite enjoyed it.
1/3/2019
Good beginning taste. Kinda flat tasting body and end. It’s Better a little cooler temperature.
1/2/2019
This coffee was excellent. Please send more like this.
1/2/2019
I really enjoyed this coffee!
1/2/2019
I really liked this coffee. It was bold but not too acidic. It was very smooth. I did taste the hickory and smoke flavors. (I am not very good at tasting notes).
1/2/2019
Lack of flavor Did not want A French blend
1/2/2019
I liked that it was bold and rich when I first tasted it. The smell as the coffee was brewing made me think it was going to be almost overpowering, but it was nicely balanced. My one negative was the almost burnt characteristic of the roast. Great first coffee! Can't wait for the next one!
1/1/2019
Very smooth cup of coffee. I like coffees that are a little more bold but this was still quite enjoyable.
1/1/2019
This is an excellent coffee...rich and tasty. Just how I like it!
1/1/2019
It was a little too dark and smoky for my taste. I think I would prefer more of a medium roast. I also found it to have a hint of bitterness to it.
1/1/2019
I could tell by the smell of the beans in the package that this coffee would be delicious. I usually drink 2 Cups but since this new coffee bean arrived I had at least three cups per morning! Absolutely delicious.
12/31/2018
First off the bag is beautiful! I loved the nose on it, and really liked the earthiness, but it tasted a little burnt to me. I wish it had a little more butter, caramel or nutty notes mixed in. Was a little too bitter.
12/31/2018
Rich, smoky and delicious
12/31/2018
It was good. I'm not a fan of French Roast so difficult for me to say if it was great. It was not as bold as I like but very smooth and enjoyable none the less.
12/31/2018
Good taste. Fairly rich, though not as deeply flavored as I expected from the description.
12/31/2018
A good dark roast with a decent level of boldness and smokey for me. The tone being described as caramel or molasses I didn’t love, but for my first Mistobox delivery, this blend is definitely on the right track. I look forward to comparing this to the next one!
12/31/2018
I liked the flavor, smoky with more sweet than I prefer. Great aroma. I brew in a Keurig Vue with a My K Cup, and put in 3 tablespoons, brew a 12oz cup on strong mode. I like my coffee strong, black, nothing in it, so while good and different would prefer a stronger dark roast. I am a Starbucks Dark kinda guy.
12/31/2018
Coffee grind is too fine and will not pass through paper filter. I use a nice Technivorm Moccamaster and have never had an issue.
12/30/2018
Overall, this coffee was pretty good. I am not sure if I made it too strong as my initial thought was there was a taste I really didn't like. Maybe it was the smoky aspect of it. I will try brewing another cup today with a bit less coffee and see if that makes a difference. Update: after brewing a couple more cups with a little less beans, the flavor was better. It still is a very robust bean, but I do like it.
12/30/2018
I love it! nice dark beans, good to the last drop. no bitterness, just rich coffee taste.
12/30/2018
I would describe this coffee as smooth and rounded. It tastes lighter to me and I don't think I would use the word rich to describe it. The smell was amazing, I could smell the coffee even before I opened the box or the bag. But the taste of the brewed coffee was more reserved. I think I prefer coffees that are bolder.
12/30/2018
My favorite so far.
12/29/2018
Too bitter, ended up trashing.
12/28/2018
Good rich aroma but the flavor is a bit one note.
12/27/2018
Not a fan if French roast. It was weak.
12/27/2018
Not a big fan of French roasts
12/19/2018
Smooth and chocolatey. A hint of smokiness, but no bitter notes. Deep and flavorful. Robust and hearty.
Love this coffee.
Love this coffee.
12/15/2018
I love this coffee. It has a rich caramel taste with some chocolate notes. It is smooth and non-acidic. The smokiness is minimal. I would definitely buy this.
12/4/2018
Did not care for this batch. Has a bitter burnt after taste.
11/15/2018
Nice flavor; a bit milder than I'd generally prefer. Seemed fairly typical of French roasts. Not bitter, but terribly memorable.
11/6/2018
This has been my favorite by far!! LOVED IT!
11/6/2018
One of our favorite coffees yet. More like this one please.
11/1/2018
caramel, rich sounded like what I want but this one was just so so
10/13/2018
Like the last one, I loved the bag! Flavor OK if finely ground for pour-over or drip. Made a decent espresso, but not very robust. Guess I'm still spoiled by my original Double Dark!
10/9/2018
This coffee had a sweet taste and easy to drink black. In fact I preferred it black.
10/7/2018
Reasonable...could be a little stronger
10/5/2018
The notes of smoky and caramel are on the money -- though perhaps my brewing method (pour-over) didn't draw out the richness, or I just don't know how to look for that aspect.
This was a good coffee, but not as good as the Double Dark from Shipment #1 -- not dark enough, that is -- when it comes to a powerful morning brew. I'd characterize this one as ideal for a "second cup," for a dark-roast lover (like me).
Is there such a thing as a strong light roast, just out of curiosity? Since I tend to buy only dark for myself, I'm just wondering if I should use this gift opportunity with Misto to try something I wouldn't ordinarily select? Regardless, I'm curious to see what you select when it comes to the next batch.

Well balanced, not bitter, great fragrance and taste. One of my favorites so far.
9/21/2018
Too dark
9/3/2018
best coffee I've ever had
8/31/2018
The tastiest so far
8/30/2018
Too much smoke. So much so that I could not really taste anything else.
8/21/2018
little too rich for me... Like something like the Italian Blend better.
8/15/2018
Pretty good
6/29/2018
We loved this coffee!
6/3/2018
OK , smokey, but difficult to say rich and cant taste caramel.
4/21/2018
Might be my favorite coffee I've ever brewed at home.
4/8/2018
Very good. So good that experimentation should be around the edges.
4/5/2018
I thought this was too dark. Hard to pick out any flavor notes. Was not one of my favorites.
4/1/2018
This coffee was also awesome especially for my soy lattes! Although I loved it I did like the first one a little more. This one I felt was quite a bit more smoky than the first and I think that’s a note that I don’t desire as much. It wasn’t overwhelming, but compared to the first coffee I liked it less.
3/31/2018
Great cup. Favorite so far!
3/30/2018
Would prefer less oily. This coffee works if if brewed mild
3/27/2018
Not happy with two shipments so far.
Does not have any flavor of coffee.
coffe was very strong with no flavor. please cahnge to medium roast.
Can I exchange 2 nd shipment not yet open (working on the foirst shipment now) and replace with a different coffee?

My favorite so far! Great coffee, rich and bold, and I love that the company put so much pride into the actual bag the coffee came in! So much fun!
3/19/2018
I do like It but I really liked the previous one a lot. First one is still my favorite out of the two.
3/19/2018
good
3/19/2018
Smoky overtakes the caramel.
3/17/2018
I liked this roast very much. Next time, I think I would like something just a bit bolder. Thank you.
3/12/2018
Bitter after taste otherwise it was pretty good. I tried a larger grind but the taste seemed watered down.
3/7/2018
Very good, I like how dark and strong it is. Makes a good espresso. With aero press it works better with a bit of cream and a tiny dash of turbinado sugar. Excellent in a latte or cortado.
3/5/2018
Best yet
3/4/2018
very nice
3/3/2018
Robust flavor with chocolate undertones. Great smell. Beans are fairly oily, makes great drip coffee, have not yet tried espresso.
2/25/2018
its not terrible but the flavor is just okay. there is indeed notes of molasses and syrup, but it is too dark for me.
2/21/2018
Pretty good. A little fruity. Notes of fig.
2/21/2018
Really enjoyed this - vibrant coffee
2/19/2018
These beans have been really tasty and rich and I've enjoyed the coffee a lot. They also seem to have more oil than the Verve which I like, not sure what that means! I do slightly prefer the Verve that was my first delivery, not sure exactly why, I guess just the overall flavor. It's clear that I prefer the dark French roasts so you've nailed that!
However, I'd like to try something totally different for my next delivery-still a dark and rich roast but perhaps a bit different on the flavor profile. I'm curious what you might come up with! Thanks Seth!

Very nice brew; stronger than the last which was nice. Still would like a more bold coffee. I would buy again. Thanks
2/18/2018
Amazing bold flavor and smokiness probably the best coffee bean I’ve ever had also loved the oils
2/17/2018
We love the this one because the aroma is wonderful (actually they all are). The body was just right. It was balanced and it was clean.
2/16/2018
Okay. Not my favorite thus far
2/14/2018
The flavor is not as good as the first dark roast
2/10/2018
I love the strong flavor of this coffee.
2/10/2018
Good, but not as bold or flavorful as the first selection and the after taste was not as enjoyable. Still, a good solid cup to get the day started.
2/6/2018
Better than the first , just not strong enough
2/6/2018
good. I enjoy a dark roast and felt like there was not as much depth of flavor as I would have liked.
2/5/2018
This coffee tastes ok, it's just very very thin. Ended up steeping it for much longer than normal and also use quite a bit more beans to get to a flavor that I enjoyed. Comparing to what I had left of my previous blend really showed, to me, how little I preferred this one.
2/5/2018
Loved this coffee. I could taste the hints of caramel right away, along with the flavorful aroma. Great pick for my second selection.
2/4/2018
Good bit not great, makes me appreciate light roasts and realize they may be my favorite
2/3/2018
Tasted great, very easy to drink, no acidity.
2/3/2018
Great coffee, definitely one to drink each morning.
2/1/2018
Excellent flavor, smooth even without creamer. Could be richer in flavor maybe.
1/31/2018
This one wasn't bad at all, it was just okay - middle of the line average. Wouldn't mind others similar at all but definitely enjoyed the previous one significantly more.
1/31/2018
I enjoyed the smokier flavor of this coffee, as well as the rich aroma it gave off.
1/30/2018
It was really good but didn’t seem as dark tasting as I expected.
1/30/2018
I liked it; Deb thought it was a bit acidic.
1/30/2018
Liked the aroma, as well as the smoky, earthy flavor.
1/29/2018
Excellent
1/29/2018
I like the dilannos better. This one is good, but not as strong as the first one.
1/29/2018
Very aromatic with a dark delicious and smooth taste
1/29/2018
Much better than first coffee. Still not a "rich" flovor for me, but enjoyable for sure.
1/29/2018
Good, but a bit strong and smoky.
1/28/2018
We are huge fans of dark roast, so we were very pleased when we brewed this for the first time. I like the smoky flavor!
1/28/2018
The aroma was fantastic, and it filled up the entire house which was great. Unfortunately, it was lost when brewed along with the flavor.
1/28/2018
Good flavor. Very smooth. Not as smoky as the Dillanos Classic (my first coffee), which I prefer the less smoky. Just picking up a hint of the caramel (could be my grind and brewing). Combining the chocolate of the Dillanos, with the less smoky I feel of the Tony’s Classic French, in a bold coffee would be great.
1/27/2018
Too rich for my taste
1/27/2018
Perfect coffee for me. Love it.
1/26/2018
The flavor was mild and indistinct. Prefer darker roasts.
1/25/2018
Nice smoky flavor. Love to see oily beans!
1/24/2018
Brian loved it
1/24/2018
Great flavor. Easy crowd pleaser
1/23/2018
a tad on the bitter side
1/23/2018
I really enjoyed this one! It was flavorful yet not bitter. I think I like coffees that are on the "sweeter" side.
1/23/2018
I found this more subtle than the Dillanos blend, and had to use more coffee to get the real sense of it. I definitely got the smokey aspect of this blend. I will have to try it as an expresso for my next taste.
1/23/2018
pretty tasty though not as robust as other french roasts I have had.
1/22/2018
I liked this coffee better than the Dillanos. I liked that it was dark and smooth, no bitterness at all.
1/22/2018
Meh just about sums it up. Nothing crazy here. I try each of my coffees in both French Press as well as my drip coffee maker (Bunn). I had high hopes for this one with the description of being "sweet" but it just didnt deliver. However, I love the oily richness of my first coffee more as I drink it. DDR is the name of it, it is more along the profile I enjoy,
1/21/2018
Nice richness and dark roast. A little acid and not the heavy roast or boldness that I think of in a dark roast.
1/20/2018
Dark, strong, roasty. Delicious.
1/20/2018
"thick, deep, intense, smooth, sweet, luxurious"...hows that for adjectives!....wonderful coffee...definitely prefer the dark roasts with caramel-like notes/flavors....really like organics too, but I see the list is limited on those....would like to try one or two organic dark roasts with sweet ,caramel notes if you think there is a fit, but I don't want to miss the other 'great" coffees either...so you decide ....thanks for "chatting" with me Samantha, and have a blessed day! p.s. Liked this one a little better than the first coffee....but both 5 star for sure....
1/19/2018
Pretty good. Not as full bodied as Cameron's Intense French
1/19/2018
Excellent! As described, classic flavor; rich and smoky.
1/18/2018
Nice rich flavor, clean finish. I feel it's a bit lacking in aroma (when brewed) but really good coffee.
1/17/2018
Solid roast; a little oily. Prefer slightly milder.
1/16/2018
Good medium roast. Lots of flavor
1/15/2018
Delicious - dark, robust. Excellent cup of coffee.
1/15/2018
I couldn't really taste the caramel and is nowhere near as bold or rich as the Double Dark Blend. It is very different from the previous coffee but its understood that it will be a lot lighter in all aspect. Shall try for a few more days before updating notes to get a better taste for it.
1/9/2018
Excellent, no bitterness, make in full auto espresso machine: academia gaggia, beans are highly aromatic and quite oily, Had to rake beans in hopper to keep flow going. good caffeine kick - drink 4 shots at a time to get going. Roast level is good, rich without that burnt flavor some dark roasts have. I must have dead taste buds, no carmel or smoke flavors to me , I just taste coffee??? but I like it.
1/9/2018
Sorry, I have not received this one yet
1/9/2018
Don't like French
1/6/2018
I really like this - love the chocolate flavor st the end of each sip. That sounds homey but true. I didn’t think I’d like it but I really do- would order more for sure
1/6/2018
Love the rich taste
12/24/2017
Love it! Great Flavor!
12/22/2017
Similar to the first one. Strong and full bodied. We enjoyed the richness amd coean finish
12/18/2017
It's french roast. Nothing special. Not my favorite roast in general. Made good cold brew for iron limes though.
12/6/2017
Love this blend. It's dark, but smooth. This is my favorite coffee so far!
11/21/2017
Too dark for me
11/14/2017
Probably one of the darkest coffees I've had up to this point. Has a very rich deep taste to it which - I feel is a perfect morning coffee with a pistachio biscotti
11/12/2017
Just a really good blend. You guys are on a roll! Keep the good coffee coming! Looking forward to more dark roasts for the winter!
11/8/2017
this was good, but we liked the first one better. We definitely prefer the nuttier flavors.
11/1/2017
Delicious. And not too overpowering
10/29/2017
I really like the way this blend tastes. It is strong but not overpowering. Has a great bold flavor.
10/22/2017
Nice full flavor
10/21/2017
Oh yeah, now this is what I am talking about. This blend goes well with my professorial glasses, hipster beard,and bike messenger bag. JK
I actually really liked this blend. The taste is amazing
I actually really liked this blend. The taste is amazing
10/21/2017
I liked this more than the first coffee, but still too smokey. The flavors are a little too dark and heavy.
10/20/2017
This coffee has a smooth yet bold flavor that I enjoy in the morning!
10/3/2017
Love the smokiness of this. Perfect way to start the day.
10/2/2017
Bold and rich, not much complexity, but the smoky flavor is definitely there.
9/26/2017
Balanced and smooth. Not as strong as I was hoping it would be but had a nice flavor.
9/16/2017
Dark, smooth, rich, caramel. Worked a treat in the espresso machine. An enjoyable cup.
9/15/2017
I enjoy this one too, it's a little richer than the Dillanos bean. I wouldn't mind trying something a little lighter
9/13/2017
I almost exclusively drink medium/dark to dark roast and I brewed this with various ratios in my French press, but each time I drank this it tastes burnt. I was kind of happy when I finished it and the next one was delivered.
9/12/2017
This coffee is SO GOOD. And it grinds evenly in my cheap coffee grinder too, which is another plus.
9/10/2017
Lets try something a little less smoky and maybe a little lighter roast, not quite so darK?
9/8/2017
Robust and strong punch for espresso or espresso-based drinks - probably the best bet for this particular roast vs. pourover, FP, etc.
8/28/2017
Definitely my favorite so far. Strong and punchy, just what you need when waking up for your first cup.
8/26/2017
Good for a dark roast, though I am not a fan of dark roasts.
8/25/2017
Another French roast, and this one felt like a more typical French roast with that harshness or almost tannic taste.
8/25/2017
It's a decent coffee, but not one that is particularly memorable for us. It has a smooth and mild flavor hitting the notes as described in the description. However, it doesn't have a strong aroma, which mutes the overall tasting experience. I was surprised not to be a fan of this one!
8/22/2017
Tasty dark roast, with rich notes of molasses, hickory and smoke
8/19/2017
good strong coffee but a bit overpowering
8/18/2017
An excellent roast! Especially smooth with substance! I would highly recommend it!
8/18/2017
In the end, this process has helped me appreciate what I do like, a dark as my soul french roast ground as fine as my grinder will go and steeped too long. This roast was not bad, but it left me wanting for a cup of coffee that would probably put most people off. For a French Roast, this was a disappointment.
8/8/2017
Very good dark roast.
8/8/2017
Really a 4 1/2 stars. It was very good but as I said in my previous note, I preferred the Dillano's French, so I reserved the 5stars for that one.
8/5/2017
Smooth and the caramel flavor is great! Very rich dark coffee!
8/4/2017
This blend makes *really* coffee or expresso. One of my favorites but just *barely* behind the Equator organic blend.
8/3/2017
One of if not my favorite coffees from mistobox.
8/2/2017
I loooved this one!
7/30/2017
At first I thought this was lacking flavor but then I amped up the dosage and it kicked in nicely. Prefer this to the Dillanos, which I found ok, very similar to the Illy dark roast I keep for emergencies. I might prefer the color of the beans a bit lighter and the 'darkness' a little lighter, but don't want to lose any flavor.
7/29/2017
Thank you for the coffee! It wasn't bad and we enjoyed it, and I liked the roast color and smell, but I preferred the flavor of of first coffee with Mistobox, the "Dillanos Coffee Roasters - Metro French Roast Blend." Tony's coffee was a little more sour to me, less smooth and bold as the Dillanos blend. Not too bad though! We definitely drank it all :)
7/27/2017
Looks and smells great, but coffee was a bit weak. Had to increase the amount of coffee by 20% to fill it out.
7/26/2017
Very nice,
7/25/2017
Not a big fan of the molasses flavor. Prefer a bolder brew.
7/24/2017
This coffee was far too sour for me. Still drinkable, but not something that I would like to receive again. I prefer a smooth, but strong flavor. Perhaps I got a bad batch, but this one made me cringe after each sip, rather than the preferred, "ah, that's good coffee".
UPDATE: I tried brewing this coffee with my regular drip machine (rather than the French Press), and it turned out much better. I still wouldn't get it again, but it's quite amazing how different brews can be between batches.

7/22/2017
This coffee smelled amazing when I ground it, but the flavor was just ok. It didn't really stand out as a great cup of coffee
7/20/2017
A little bit darker than I care for but good flavors.
7/19/2017
Great flavors; thoroughly enjoyed.
7/18/2017
Good, but I prefer the Dillano's. I tried varying the grind on this but always had to use more than for any other coffee to get anything but weak "tea water." Flavor was good and completely without bitterness.
7/14/2017
The coffee had good flavor but it was too watery or too light no matter how we brewed it. No a fan.
7/14/2017
Molasses, hickory and smoke are right. Clean finish. But, not as strong as I would have expected.
7/11/2017
ptetty good, easy to drink, not the most robust flavor but good overall
7/7/2017
Not great
7/7/2017
I can definitely tell the sweetness of this roast. It tastes a little weaker than my preference but I think that's because I became accustomed to drinking something a little bit bolder.
7/5/2017
I needed to use a little more coffee than I normally would have to get the strength and consistency that I wanted. Overall it is great and makes the house smell wonderful while brewing.
7/3/2017
Love this!
7/1/2017
Pretty good dark roast, not my favorite, but good
