Austin
I started making this on Aeropress because I got too lazy to make espresso every day. It affirmed my love for dark roasts, with this one being the darkest I’ve ever had. It was super pleasant, nice thick mouthfeel and chocolatey. I’d maybe like it to have even more caramel flavor!
3/17/2023

Emily
This was our favorite coffee so far. The flavor was very bold and very rich. Loved it.
12/26/2022

Kyle
Really liked it!
12/1/2022

Absolutely loved it. Loved the deep rich flavor
12/1/2022

Very good
11/30/2022

Way too oily for my taste. Didn't love the smoky notes.
11/25/2022

Michael
Delicious
11/19/2022

Johannes
Too dark for me
10/28/2022

Julissa
Tastes a bit sour
10/23/2022

Darcie
This was good but slightly too dark for us
10/13/2022

Thomas
Coffee was a little too dark for my preference. Dark roast also caused more static resulting in messier grinds.
10/4/2022

Heather
Do not like any French Roast
9/14/2022

Zachary
Good coffee, satisfies dark request
9/10/2022

Lorin
Overall, I am enjoying this coffee. I'm not a fan of smoky flavors, but at least the smokiness isn't TOO prominent in this coffee.
9/9/2022

Michael
This one seems to have very little flavor; I guess it is roasted too far
9/3/2022

Brendan
For a very dark roast this yielded a very balanced espresso shot with good sweetness and dark chocolate notes.
8/22/2022

Minnie
One of my favorites so far!
8/9/2022

Justin
Brew method: drip machine

Pros: sweet taste, smooth feel, not bitter

Cons: not as rich/bold as I prefer

Overall: 8/10

Good for iced americano

Rod
It was ok. Didn't hate it.
6/14/2022

Dillon
This one was very intense. Prep Method: Pour Over, 16:1 gram ratio.
6/9/2022

Erin
Loved the caramel notes! Not too bitter- just full bodied enough to be strong, nutty and delicious! My favorite one yet.
6/7/2022

Brad
Good French roast
5/26/2022

CHRISTOPHER
Tasted bitter.
5/20/2022

Anthony
Good brew.
5/8/2022

Michael
We found that we do not like the French Roast beans as much as all the others you've sent so far.
5/5/2022

David
Over roasted for my taste. I prefer a medium roast. No more French Roast!
4/14/2022

Anne
Like it
4/14/2022

Cheyanne
I liked how balanced and bold this coffee was. I did not think it was smoky at all (thankfully because that usually turns me off of dark roast coffees). Super easy to drink with a lot of smooth flavor.
3/10/2022

Dana & AJ
Love a great French roast! Oily beans - deep flavor. Would love more like this!
2/8/2022

Alyssa
I like the bold flavor without having any bitterness. I like the subtle blend of flavors. The carmel flavor is prominent with a hint of smokiness to balance it out. This is one of my favorites so far.
1/30/2022

Danielle
Not a caramel fan or Smokey too much.
1/10/2022

Katherine
too mild
11/24/2021

EMILY
I really enjoyed this coffee. To me, it is toward the medium-dark roast, it has a nutty taste. I used the Breville Barista, the gridding to 9 work just fine.
11/12/2021

grant
Coffee was good, strong flavor, not great, but not bad
10/22/2021

David
Not a big fan of French Roasts, but this was good.

Not memorable. Not terrible. Just ordinary.

Liked this one a lot!

Solid choice.
9/14/2021

Pamela
It tasted good with some sugar and oatmilk. Not quite as good just black
9/8/2021

Gerardo
Overall good but would like a sweeter one. Less Smoky
8/22/2021

Mark
Real good, great taste! Been one of my favorites so far!
8/12/2021

Catherine
I do not like the French Roast. I don’t care for the bitter aftertaste.
8/8/2021

Laura
Did not really like this one. Stringent, not flavorful.
8/7/2021

Erica
Strong caramel notes leaving it naturally a bit sweet. Wouldn’t describe as bold. Overall good blend.
8/5/2021

Benjamin
This was a delicious roast. Definitely checks most of the boxes for me. A nice robust dark roast without being bitter or overpowering. Flavor notes are spot on. I would definitely reorder this one. Maybe slightly more oily than I prefer, but this didn’t bother me much. If there was one note I didn’t quite care for, it would be the smoke. Not a huge turnoff though.
8/1/2021

Cristina
Best in the French press
7/21/2021

Sara
We did not like this French roast. I didn't taste like a typical French roast to us. It seemed to light to us.
7/17/2021

James
Smokey and dark. A little sour
6/9/2021

Marjorie
Tasty! Nice balance of smooth and sour.
6/2/2021

Emma
Loved it! So smooth and smells delicious.

Jeff
A little acidic for my taste
5/29/2021

Olga
Literally undrinkable; gave it away.
5/28/2021

Laura
This one is a little too bitter for me i think.
5/27/2021

Charlotte
Best I've gotten. Well balanced and full all the way from first on the tongue to aftertaste.
5/25/2021

Greg
From what I remember this was a delicious coffee. Could you send something similar?
5/20/2021

Lauren
Best one yet . Bold flavors and rich roast. If you like dark coffee with big flavor this is for you !
5/18/2021

Shane
Good, but a bit fruity. Not quite our taste.
5/18/2021

David
Excellent coffee. I enjoy the "medium to dark" range of coffees. I like my lattes using this coffee. I've already ordered and finished a second 12 ounce bag.
5/13/2021

Clyde
very nice
5/13/2021

Marcelo
Excellent body and taste, perfect for the Jura A1 machine we use to brew :)
Perfect balance of bitterness and sweet.
5/9/2021

leonard
nice organic coffee
we both enjoyed it but not our very fave
5/7/2021

Anna
A wonderful coffee. Now I understand what a a great "carmel" coffee tastes like!
5/5/2021

Kindra
Strong! Loved that.
4/27/2021

Harris
pretty good but a little too smoky for me
4/12/2021

Jim
Tasty but I prefer a little oilier bean
4/9/2021

Karen
Good flavor. Seem to change taste over time.
3/27/2021

Ashley
Coffee is a little light for my husband and me. He likes his coffee more oily and dark. I like darker coffee, too, but I do appreciate the nutty flavor in this roast. It’s not our favorite but not bad for a lighter colored bean.
3/8/2021

Barbara
Delicious brewed by drip. Enjoying toasty roast flavors.
3/7/2021

Nick
One of the best we’ve had.

Pretty good.

1/31/2021

Nathan
My favorite dark roast, not traditional French roast flavor... caramel, chocolate etc without ash and turpentine
1/23/2021

Carlos
Beautiful results on the French press. Nothing extraordinary, no particular flavor per se, but it's great coffee overall.
1/12/2021

Emily
Not remarkable, but good. Decent in French Press, Chemex, and Aeropress.
1/7/2021

Michael
A really solid, dark, workhorse coffee. Nothing was super outstanding but something I would drink everyday.
1/6/2021

Christian
Really enjoyed this one!
1/4/2021

John Boghos
It was more medium than dark. Good not great.
12/31/2020

Anne
A solid 8. Very good. But I wonder now if it's a bit to dark for me. Tastes are changing.






12/29/2020

Toni
Don't love french roast
12/25/2020

Richard
Good; paired well with my creamer; I wish it had a bit of a fuller body and mouthfeel. Otherwise a good way to start my day.
12/17/2020

Laura
Not a fav but ok

Phoenix
I liked this one a lot. It was full-bodied without being bitter.
11/21/2020

Robert
A bit more mild than the DCR, but really enjoyable. It might be preferred on most mornings through the Chemex. Delicious cup of coffee.
11/18/2020

Umang
So far the Ethiopia Sidamo Ardi was the best one
11/12/2020

Kati
4.5 Stars
11/9/2020

Kathryn
It tasted good but it didn’t wake me up or give me that bold flavor I like.
11/4/2020

John
Not the French Roast taste that I'm familiar with!
10/26/2020

Dan
Definitely unique. The best of the 4 bags I have gotten so far.
10/26/2020

Nick
Would like something a little darker/stronger
10/21/2020

CC
Dark, full bodied roast paced with favor.
10/19/2020

Charles
I don’t like French roasts and this did not change my mind.
10/18/2020

Michael
The coffee was good just didn’t have the wow factor I was looking for. I did make it in a drip coffee maker. Maybe I should give it a try in a French press
10/18/2020

Meghan
Didn’t really care for this one - so much of a burnt taste.
10/5/2020

Jen
Enjoyed this one
10/1/2020

Mitchell
Great smoky coffee, wish it had a bit stronger notes of caramel
9/29/2020

Rebecca
I love this coffee! One of the best ones I’ve tried. Dark oily beans, yum.
9/20/2020

Melyssa
It was ok, a little bitter for us but still way better than anything locally.
9/13/2020

Robert
Very well-rounded and full-bodied. To my palate the way a dark coffee is supposed to taste.
8/25/2020

Mahri
A bit light for me. Not a fan of the flavors. Tried to get through it but am throwing the remainder out.
8/16/2020

Noa
My favorite one yet! Wonderfully bold flavor
8/3/2020

David
Great cup of coffee. It's dark with notes of smoke and nutty-ness. Nothing jumps out too much but a nice morning cup of coffee and more plane when compared to Dillanos, Special Dark Blend
7/29/2020

Christine
This one was amazing. I didn't get to it right way, but it was still delicious a couple of months after roasting.
7/8/2020

Wayne
Smooth drinking.
5/20/2020

Robert
For some reason This tastes much better.

Ok, not as great as the others.
3/18/2020

Zoe
Good everyday coffee, Looking for something a little more deep/complex maybe?
3/17/2020

Sylvia
A very drinkable dark roast. I missed the smokiness I love to have in a french roast.
1/29/2020

Alan
Very good!!!

It’s a good evening coffee..... not enough zing to start my morning off right
7/24/2019

William
Favorite so far
7/20/2019

Julia
Pretty good overall. Strong flavor.
7/18/2019

Sterling
This coffee was just ok. Doesn’t seem to have much depth to it.
6/16/2019

Brian
A little too dark for me. Felt like it lost its notes by over roasting it.
6/10/2019

Bob
Tastes like chocolate!
5/23/2019

Behnam
Excellent. Not acidic. Easy to drink and enjoy.
5/23/2019

Matt
Not strong enough. A little sweet.

Can we make sure I don’t get anything that I’ve rated 3 stars or less?
5/18/2019

Barbara
Meh. This coffee lacks interesting flavor. I find it rather boring.
4/26/2019

Doug
Amazing complex and rich taste!
4/10/2019

Eric
This one was not very good. There is no discernible difference between this and others that I have liked on paper. I wonder if there is a quality difference here.
3/18/2019

Robert
Not quite strong enough.
2/13/2019

Keelyn
Smell was amaaaaaaazing. Loved the smell. Taste was good too but not as good as it smelled.
2/1/2019

Jenna
Balanced, flavorful and delicious
1/31/2019

Michael
This coffee is great
11/26/2018

Andrea
Not as flavorful as I’d expect. A bit bland.
11/13/2018

Tobin
Great coffee, smooth and bold. Clear caramel notes, wanted there to be a little more smoky based on the description, but it's still a delicious cup of coffee overall
10/30/2018

Katy
I opened the bag and it smelled so good I didn't want to take my face out of the bag. And the taste didn't disappoint. I percolated this coffee and it was divine. Nice and strong with no bitter taste. Definitely can taste the smooth caramel notes. Love!
10/13/2018

David
Overall a well-balanced coffee. It has a quite mild flavor with slight sweetness, but still enjoyable. However, the roasted date is not exactly accurate (according to the sticker on the bag, it was roasted the day AFTER it actually shipped).
9/15/2018

Haane
Delicious and strong.
9/10/2018

Matthew
This is my second experience with this coffee. Its not as dark as I prefer for my dark roast coffees. I also find the flavor profile to be flat.
4/16/2018

Memo
perfect
4/16/2018

Jeramie
This coffee seems a little "lighter" on the roast than I was expecting given its a "French Roast". I wouldn't really call this a dark roast to be honest.

It's not a bad coffee, just not dark enough for my tastes.
2/26/2018

Terry
Nice coffee but certainly not outstanding in any way. Smooth with a little caramel but comparable to some supermarket french roasts.
First one sent was much better.
2/2/2018

Carl
This is a great French Roast. Nothing special about it but I love French Roast and this one is quite good.
1/28/2018

Allyn
I like this coffee but i don’t think it’s exactly what I’m looking for. I enjoy the caramel nodes and excited to learn about more coffees that I like.
1/2/2018

Blanca
I give it a 4.5. Too many flavors going on which make it taste less like coffee and more like a mixed specialty coffee.
12/25/2017

Trevor
Another 4-star coffee - maybe even 4.5 stars as I think we like it more than the Colectivo Black & Tan. Nice a smooth with a little extra punch / boldness.
12/22/2017

John
Really nice roast. Dark, rich, and a little creamy.
12/16/2017

Cynthia
I LOVE this coffee. So rich and strong. Holds up so well. I think this is by far my favorite of all the coffees delivered to date. It has just a tiny bite but enough to wake you up.
11/2/2017

William
Big fan of Kaldi, love the organic coffee. Don't like French Roast quite as much.
9/15/2017

Katrina
This is the exact opposite of what I want in a coffee. It was sour and gave me heart burn when I drank it. It makes me think this review process is a big algorithm and has no contribution from an actual coffee consultant, or maybe one that has not tried any of the recommended coffees. I'm very disappointed so far in my subscription because I love dark coffee, but it seems like this company thinks French roast is the only dark coffee available. It is especially disappointing because I can buy better coffee at Starbucks, and I'm not very excited about continuing my buisness there. I don't know what to tell you to fix this but the coffees you're sending me are getting progressively worse each time. I'd like to select the next three months myself, which is disappointing because I was hoping to rely on the expertise of this company to explore my coffee range.
6/10/2017

Todd
Samantha! This is an outstanding coffee. It is rich, strong, yet non-acidic, and full of flavor. I am not very trained in coffee tasting, but I know what I like, and I was surprised at the bold and smooth flavor. Spot-on!
5/14/2017

Chad
Didn't like the after taste. Not bold enough.
5/1/2017

Debra
Very smooth.
4/20/2017

Corina
Smoky and caramel-y perfectly describe this. I could smell the caramel notes through the box! Good stuff.
4/12/2017

Rhiannon
This one is a keeper! Nice and dark with little acidity. Exactly what I was looking for.
4/4/2017

Brian
I like this one. A little more bold than the last one. Maybe try something a little lighter on the next round.
4/3/2017

Charlie
Nice
4/3/2017

Kelli
ok
3/27/2017

Brittany
Loved it! Amazing coffee!
3/22/2017

Brian
Very nice. Deep flavor, but not overly bold. Acidity seems about right. Some natural sweetness coming through. Overall, like it a lot.
3/7/2017

ken
notr as good as the equator
3/5/2017

Pam
Ok - a little too smoky
2/19/2017

Kristina
Probably the best beans we have received thus far and that is saying a lot considering the competition. A good balance on the dark side without overpowering.
2/16/2017

Melissa
rich tasting, little acid, flavorful cup
2/15/2017

Matthew
This is a decent French roast coffee. I found it to be bitter sweet, with a woody after tone, low acidity. I'm not tasting the caramel tone. It's a quality dark roast, but I prefer more flavor. I have brewed this with my Chemex and Hario V60.
2/9/2017

Kyle
Kaldi's is great! Real smooth and caramely
2/6/2017

Britney
Well balanced dark roast. I really like the bolder flavor and how it's not so overpowering that it needs a splash of milk to be balanced. The caramel notes were the right amount of sweetness. And the smell was amazing!
2/2/2017

Jan
Better than the Ethiopian coffee of last shipment. Not as full bodied as I would like but happy that it didn't have strong sour notes. More pleasant aftertaste.
1/8/2017

Michael
Fine coffee
Full bodied but not as deep finish as say the panther blend that was my first coffee
1/1/2017

mark
Good mouthfeel hints of chocolate not bitter at all
Very balanced
12/15/2016

Laura
This was my favorite so far, of the few I've received. Smooth cup of coffee.
12/7/2016

Matt
This roast wow'd me! The deepness and darkness and the viscosity while drinking it is definitely hitting the right buttons for me. This is along the threshold of darker roasts that I love. I think if I drank anything darker it might just be overkill but this one is awesome! Totally full bodied and just enough smokiness and good sweetness to make a overall enjoyable cup.
12/2/2016

Farhad
For some reason, this one felt too bland.
11/25/2016

Mark
Good coffee, enjoyed it's boldness
11/18/2016

Reginald
This was my favorite so far, of the few I've received. I always seem to enjoy French Roasts and this was no exception. Good, rich flavor, plenty of body and a bit of smokiness. Typically, I'll put a very minute amount of milk with my coffee to take the edge off, but I didn't want that with this.
11/12/2016

Charla
We did not enjoy this coffee as much as the other ones we have received.
10/30/2016

Wanda
Very nice balance.
9/20/2016

Beth
Not really impressed. Very bland. Not a lot of the richness and the boldness that I expect from a french roast. Would not buy again.
9/20/2016

Jason
Excellent coffee. Great bold flavor with a good balance. This is one of the better coffees I've received.
9/19/2016

Jay
Excellent French Roast, Full body, with a nice rich finish.
9/17/2016

Michael
Good dark coffee without being overwhelming. I like this coffee quite a bit!
9/12/2016

Kylene
We liked this one! Very smooth. I've made it several ways and the flavor is pretty solid any way I make it! I think we could build on this with an even richer coffee flavor!
9/10/2016

Emily & Matt
rich and delicious!!

I have LOVED both Kaldi's blends I have gotten. So smooth with low acidity. Yummy!

Wasn't my favorite. Didn't appeal to me for whatever reason, somewhat strange aftertaste. I'm a novice, however, so no worries!

This is an excellent cup of coffee. The body provides a wonderful smokiness, but doesn't overpower the subtle flavors underneath. There's a little bit of sweetness to this coffee that I really appreciate. The last three have been excellent, keep 'em coming!

I enjoyed this coffee. It was rich and nutty, with a pleasantly notable almond finish. However, it did not keep well. It lost it's flavor much more quickly than most other choices for some reason. It was stored identically to my other coffee. So, I don't know if the roast date was further back than indicated, or whether there is something in their roasting process that hastened the loss of freshness.

Excellent blend. I was impressed right off the bat because the packaging looks awesome, smelled great when I opened it up, and best of all contained beans that were not covered in oil like any other "French Roast" I've seen.As espresso, this is neck and neck with my all-time favorite blend, Orphea by Maromas. The dominant quality is its smoothness, It has a nice, bitter chocolate flavor with a slight caramelly sweetness and pepper undertone. Kind of a deep, roasty flavor with a kick and just enough sweetness to keep the edge off. It has an excellent, creamy body with a nice crema. What most impressed me about this blend, however, is that it never picked up a sour or offensively bitter flavor, even as it cooled.While honestly this does not need milk to be thoroughly enjoyable, it does make an excellent latte or cappuccino. I did find the first latte I made with it to be on the weaker side for my preference, however I think I used a little bit more milk than I usually do, and I haven't gotten to play around with the grind size on my machine to perfect it yet. That being said, it was excellent nonetheless. It was creamy with a little bit of spice shining through and altogether one of the best milk-based drinks I've been able to create with my lower-end superautomatic machine at home. It would pair beautifully with a medium bodied cigar if you're in the mood for a fancy evening.As coffee, I have only brewed this with an Aeropress to date, but a lot of that is because the Aeropress absolutely kills it when it comes to darker roasted coffee. It's strong and has a pleasant bitterness along with a caramelly sweetness that lingers a little bit, and you still notice the creaminess I mentioned it has as espresso, So I'd imagine even those who don't normally drink their coffee black would enjoy this.

This is much heavier and darker than I am used, but it is good in it's own right. Makes a great cold brew!
7/27/2016

Paula
Great taste
7/25/2016

Ray
It's okay but not special. I like the low acidity but it wasn't as complex and bold as I like
7/24/2016

Stephanie
This coffee was fantastic!
7/24/2016

Jorge
Quite weak for a French roast; picked up the caramel notes, but not the complexity.
7/21/2016

Christina
Solid 3.5 stars because this is a delicious cold brew coffee, but it did not stand-up as hot morning cup. The caramel notes are better captured as a hot brew, but overall it's bold taste comes through cold!
7/20/2016

David
Wow, excellent! Not too strong like a lot of French roasts.
7/19/2016

K
A wonderful roast from a really solid company. I love the darkness of this rich blend of fair trade beans that is low acid.
7/17/2016

Phillip
I almost get graham cracker in my mouth. I enjoyed this more than the Red Rooster one as it didn't taste as dark nor smoky. I would still like to try some just slightly lighter roasts so that everything isn't French Roast.
7/13/2016

Jason
Bold flavor. It's become one of our favorites.
7/10/2016

Kenny
I like this one the best so far!
7/9/2016

Tricia
Dare I say this is my favorite then my favorite changes. Loved this coffee!
7/8/2016

Steven
Smooth, velvety, rich and earthy. The kind of coffee that you enjoy waking up to, or as an after dinner dessert companion.
7/6/2016

Tad
very good! Loved the taste and smell of the whole beans, ground coffee, and especially the brewed coffee. Drip brewed.
7/4/2016

Mary
Good taste comparable to Panther; however, Beans are oily which makes prep/cleanup a little more involved.
7/3/2016

Dario
Our favorite so far as far as French Roasts go. Not bitter at all. enjoyable with cream or black.
7/1/2016

Thomas
Nice flavor and body for a French Roast.
6/30/2016

Jim
Well balanced dark roast. Could be a little stronger as it had good flavor, just a little more muted than I would prefer.
6/26/2016

Keith
I did not expect to love this as much as I did, but the texture was awesome and there was no bitterness whatsoever!
6/21/2016

Jill
Smooth, pleasant. Full coffee, definitely picked up on the smokiness but neither of us got the caramel notes. Great smell during brewing.
6/16/2016

Farhad
Very complex and mouthful taste! It is not as dark and smoky as a common French roast, but the thick crema and rich aroma of the espresso made this bean a pleasant experience for me.
// Espresso Machine: Breville, The Duo-Temp Pro Espresso // Grinder: Gaggia MDF Electric Burr Coffee // Grind Level: 5-6

Smokey, but didn't get the caramel or the nuts. Just so-so
6/6/2016

Penny
An OK coffee, but not as crisp as I like. Bitter aftertaste
6/5/2016

Abbas
didnt care for it at all. Very plain.

Our favorite coffee yet!
5/31/2016

Jeff
Meh - tastes a bit rubbery to me. Bad aftertaste and not very good beginning either.
5/28/2016

Lauren
Love how smooth it is. Interesting, almost herbal, aftertaste. Great breakfast coffee!!
5/23/2016

Shane
This was a favorite
5/16/2016

Andrea
I love this coffee! It's full-bodied and strong with no acidity, and the aroma is equally wonderful.
5/16/2016

Nora
Love it!
5/10/2016

Katie
This is a great coffee! I can taste the caramel undertones and it's super smooth. It could use tad more flavor but it's REALLY good!
5/4/2016

Robert
Excellent. By far the best coffee mistobox has sent my way, and a shame it took until my 5th month to finally find the sweet spot. Color of beans is lighter than described, but flavor is full, rich chocolate and hazelhut, no bitterness, very smooth.

Not a big fan....Like a darker roast. Lightest French roast I have ever had.

Who would've known that I would've found a new favorite brewer? I've separately ordered Kaldi's Natural High at least half a dozen times the past few months in addition to my subscription, and now their French Roast gets five stars as well. Love it!
3/31/2016

Stephen
average taste, not particularly bold.
3/29/2016

Brianne
Smooth, rich, with chocolate notes. Best coffee to date
3/14/2016

Michael
Nothing too exciting. I'd drink it but there is better out there if I was buying.Cold brewed with toddy
3/13/2016

Matthew
Perfectly fine, but also perfectly unremarkable. Only brewed via french press and perhaps could have explored alternative brewing options, but overall just not a memorable brew.
3/8/2016

Colleen and Dave
Like this one a lot. Good dark roast!
2/27/2016

William
This is a firm brew - satisfying, bold but never harsh. Excellent round flavor. Classic European - if you can't afford a trip to Graz or Brugge - brew a cup of slow drip Kaldi. A keeper in the repetoire.

Overall i rate this 3 out of 5. It just didn't make me feel like i was in a warm cozy cabin wrapped in a blanket. I cant seem to put my finger on it but this coffee makes me feel incomplete.
1/29/2016

David
Maybe I'm not a French roast / Italian roast person. It's really good coffee, but that little tanginess in the aftertaste isn't my thing. Also, like some others, these beans create a lot of flaking and mess in grinding. Others grind clean. Why is that?
1/24/2016

Kelsey
LOVE LOVE LOVE this French roast! I'm enjoying the nutty taste notes for sure. Best dark roast I've had in a while.
1/9/2016

Erica
I liked this one a lot. It is much lighter than the dark roasts I'm used to, but tastes like caramel! Different, but very good.
12/16/2015

Alan
Perfect dark blend. I will reorder this one
11/26/2015

Stephen
Much closer to my taste than the last coffee I received. I would like to see a little more depth and smokiness without it being overbearing.
11/18/2015

Jonnel
Has a flat taste.
11/17/2015

Andrew
Reminded me of typical european cafe coffee, light but dark in flavor.
11/12/2015

Anthony
Recently started making Turkish coffee and this French roast was excellent... even while picking grounds out of my teeth.
10/9/2015

Jason
Excellent taste, slightly spicy in my opinion. Much lighter than your typical French Roasts, organic, highly recommended!
9/24/2015

Katrina
Loved this coffee, full body and strong and dark. Just what you need in the morning.
9/21/2015

Jordan
Really enjoyed this cup. Flavor was deep and complex without being overpowering, subtle hints of chocolate and caramel. So far my favorite.
9/20/2015

Elie
I actually really enjoyed that roast. Great for mornings
9/19/2015

Thomas
This and Unity Organic Blend we tied in my second place. caramel and nutty flavors worked
9/12/2015

Tamara
Too light and sweet.
9/12/2015

Tiffany
This was a really good French Roast. Very complex flavors and I received compliments when I made a latte for a friend.
9/11/2015

Rachel
This was an interesting and surprising blend for a French Roast. The nose reminded me of chocolate with a hint of nuts. The beans are more typical for a French Roast - dark and oily. While I found the flavor to be enjoyable, it is not the bold, smoky experience I was expecting. If anything, I found the taste to be on the lighter, sweeter side.
9/10/2015

Sarah
Excellent cup of coffee, very well balanced across all the qualities.
