It’s getting hard to differentiate what I mean by all of these four-star reviews. But we both like the bold chocolate notes of this coffee and the full body. It’s a little sweet in a good way—not overly sweet—but it cuts the roundness in a way that I wish didn’t happen. I think we’re learning that John likes smoky more than I do, but all around, we are both really enjoying this. 4.5.

Love this one! balanced, smooth and strong without being bitter
8/26/2022
Difficult to dial in brewing and not as round or robust of a flavor.
8/25/2022
One of my favorites! Rich, sweet and full bodied
8/11/2022
This dark taste is amazing for us.
7/2/2022
It didn't seem to actually have much flavor.
6/14/2022
Not bad, but I needed more coffee per liter to avoid watery. Basic taste is in the right ballpark.
6/4/2022
Perfect balance of flavors for an espresso shot and strong enough for an excellent cappuccino.
5/28/2022
Wow, this one really stretches my palette!! Not in a bad way — it's just very different from other coffee tastes I've had. It's a fun experiment, but I think the smokiness is a bit too much for me.
5/25/2022
This coffee wasn't our favorite. It has a little bitterness to it, maybe because it is a slightly lighter roast than the others we have received. If we liked the flavor of a lighter roast, it would be a good choice.
5/20/2022
Didn’t like the smokiness
5/18/2022
Strong chocolate notes. Really like this hot, was pretty acidic once cold
5/11/2022
Loved it !
5/8/2022
Tasted old. Not good.
5/5/2022
This is like a medium roast and very acidic. Not to my liking
4/28/2022
pretty decent, flavors were maybe a bit too exotic for me (not a huge fan of fruity tasting notes)
4/22/2022
It wasn’t great but it wasn’t awful either. Pretty neutral.
4/16/2022
This coffee was okay. Not nearly as dark a roast as I expected. The aroma was smoky, but the flavor just didn't come out preparing in my normal way (drip). It was better using an Aeropress.
4/8/2022
Absolutely amazing coffee! Probably the best one so far. It was full of flavor, bold, a little smoke, and not bitter at all. Using hot, but not fully boiling, water really brought out tannins and vanilla flavors.
3/24/2022
Dark and bold--loved it!
3/5/2022
Dark coffee, this is not dark.
2/28/2022
I love most of the coffees you have sent me, this one had to many other flavors in it, and I am not sure what wasn't right. Perfumey is the only thing I can think of.
1/21/2022
No static. Great taste. It rocks!
1/19/2022
Not a bad blend just not as bold as I like. I didn't pick up on much smoky flavor.
11/30/2021
Notes and flavor were not for me
10/31/2021
Outstanding dark chocolate full bodied blend
10/16/2021
This one is so so good. It’s perfect for a fall morning, crisp air, well balanced.
10/16/2021
Love how smooth this coffee is. We also got a drip machine just because it says drip on the package. Can you send something smooth (not-bitter) and dark roasted?
10/11/2021
10
10/6/2021
Too sour. Liked the strong earthy notes but too sour for our tastes.
9/24/2021
I am a fun of this roaster! Loved this coffee as well.
8/30/2021
Compared to the other coffees you have sent us, this one was much less to our taste. Not knowing anything about coffee, this one seemed to us to be less rich and more acidic. We prefer a darker boxer coffee, more like the Alma and Parisi coffees you sent us earlier. Thank you.
8/25/2021
My favorite blend so far! Very flavorful - great blend.
7/25/2021
Another dark and rich coffee that I'm a fan of. Liked how full-bodied it was, and how easy it was to make it strong.
6/1/2021
I’ve recently switched from making coffee in a Chemex to doing espresso. This makes a great, rich espresso.
5/16/2021
Delicious!
5/12/2021
This was nice, was smooth and basic.
5/11/2021
This did not taste very rich in my opinion. smooth but too bland and sweet
2/22/2021
I would not call this dark at all, it was not rich or bold. Kind of bland. Disappointed.
1/31/2021
One of my favorites
1/30/2021
We did not like the finish of this particular roast. The Belen Gualcho and Waxwing Blend were more in line with our liking!
1/21/2021
Good, bold, great blended with medium blend. Too dark to drink straight.
1/9/2021
Acidic, light flavor
1/5/2021
This was some of the best coffee I've ever had.
9/2/2020
Slightly smoky. I prefer no smoke or burnt notes
8/9/2020
Really good!
7/18/2020
Perfect!
7/9/2020
I think this coffee is too acidic. It isn’t as bold or smoky as the other coffees with the same profile. I’ve only had it for a few days but I definitely like coffee less acidic.
7/5/2020
made a great cappuccino
6/10/2020
Great full taste.
5/3/2020
Weak and plain, to me.
5/1/2020
send me more
4/30/2020
Very good!
4/26/2020
No big deal; average "good" coffee.
4/22/2020
Very mild, not a lot of flavor
4/22/2020
Eric was a big fan.
4/20/2020
Nice balance with a lot of flavor. Very drinkable and delicious
4/19/2020
Good flavor but to mild.
4/17/2020
I love this coffee!
4/11/2020
It’s not my favorite. I feel as if their are so bright tangy notes that make it feel lighter than it should.
4/7/2020
This one is excellent. The last 2 set of beans were good, but this one is right up my alley.
4/6/2020
No roast date. Burned. Only flavor was carbon. :)
4/6/2020
def the best coffee of the bunch
3/31/2020
Not a big fan of the flavor profile for this coffee.
3/26/2020
Not a huge fan of this one. Funky taste (for me).
3/24/2020
Overall good - a little too Smokey
3/20/2020
Smooth blend
3/15/2020
Loved this one. Bold, well-rounded flavor, kind of nutty. I liked this one a lot.
3/9/2020
Awesome aroma/smell, but when brewed, rather unremarkable, and a bit high on acidity. Would call it neither smoky nor bold (in fact, does not resemble the description provided).
2/29/2020
I could go either way with this one. It makes a good basic cup of coffee, but there is not really anything about it that makes me say "now that's a good cup of coffee".
2/29/2020
Not dark enough and didn't have a lot of flavor.
2/27/2020
Excellent, and resealable bag is a plus!
1/18/2020
Really enjoyed this one.
1/7/2020
One of my favorite coffee's
12/24/2019
I liked this coffee ok, but it wasn’t my favorite. It tasted a little acidic.
12/24/2019
I used this blend for espresso. I enjoyed the darkness of the bean. The smokiness was mild, which I prefer. The acidity was very low, which I also prefer. Overall, I would consider this a safe choice when trying to serve espresso to anyone.
12/18/2019
Too dark
12/15/2019
Loved this coffee!! It was very dark and rich.
12/8/2019
Mediocre coffee. Very acidic and weak.
12/2/2019
It’s memorable and tasty. Not our absolute favorite though.
11/30/2019
Fantastic coffee - the aroma was phenomenal and brewed perfectly.
11/27/2019
Solid cup of coffee.
11/21/2019
A bit acidic tasting, and the darker roastier flavors don’t come through as strongly. Needed milk. Brewed by drip & French press
11/11/2019
I thought this was very good. Mild flavor and easy drinking.
11/8/2019
The molasses flavor was more noticeable than the chocolate or cherry that was mentioned and my experience with this blend was much less dark than medium. I had difficulty getting the flavor profile to come through. It's possible that my grinding wasn't consistent enough but I tried adding more grinds than I normally do. I was hoping for a more bold flavor but this was more mild and inoffensive.
11/5/2019
Fruity and lighter for a dark roast. Decent.
10/31/2019
Almost a nutty taste to me. Really dislike any coffee with this flavor. Not bold enough.
10/31/2019
It was hard to get a consistent extraction because the roast was so uneven. I'm not sure it's supposed to be, but it's a mix of light and medium roast beans. Perhaps that was the intent for this blend or maybe I got a bad batch. I tried several different ways of brewing this coffee and in the best instances, the coffee was still just ok.
10/29/2019
Not a big fan of this one but it was drinkable
10/28/2019
Very smooth and full bodied. Enjoyed the fruity flavors.
10/27/2019
It has a smoother taste compared to most dark roasts I've had. Not overpowering or bitter.
10/27/2019
Wasn’t my favorite. Dry (not oily) beans and didn’t feel dark enough.
10/21/2019
This was really nice, full bodied chocolate aroma throughout without being too overwhelming. Big fan!
10/17/2019
Delicious. Incredibly smooth and drinkable. I plan on ordering more from this roaster.
10/17/2019
I asked for ground coffee. I cant do anything with the whole coffee beans.
10/16/2019
Nice full flavored coffee striking a balance between avoiding any burnt notes on one side and sour notes on the other. Flavor notes of chocolate and cherry are very welcome.
10/16/2019
Very good bold coffee. No bitterness. Taste ended very smooth. The best darker roast coffee I have had.
10/13/2019
A bit lighter than my norm but delicious
10/5/2019
Too well rounded, so has no distinct flavor. I like a bolder flavor.
10/3/2019
Love Anodyne coffees that we've received.
10/1/2019
Really didn't like this
9/30/2019
Too light
9/29/2019
Love
9/27/2019
Very good coffee. Chocolate notes dominant. A little darker than my preference.
9/26/2019
Pretty good. Would prefer it to be less acidic.
9/25/2019
Not too much- perfect for any time of day
9/23/2019
nice flavor
9/22/2019
Very nice.
9/16/2019
good but a little acidic for my stomach so prefer decaf only
9/15/2019
extremely smooth and subtle.
9/14/2019
Tasted like watered down coffee. Beans have the color of a light roast. Not sure why Misto calls this a medium-dark.
9/12/2019
It was okay, didn't care for the combination of flavors though.
9/9/2019
Excellent blend of dark and light flavor. Husband and wife both approve!
9/7/2019
This was alright. Aroma was better than the flavor.
9/7/2019
It has now been awhile, but I liked it a lot.
9/4/2019
Was OK, just not that flavorful or to my taste. Was a dry bean which is good because my coffee machine doesn't do well with oily beans. Would pass on this one in the future though
9/4/2019
Good, maybe a bit too chocolatey for my taste.
9/4/2019
It was a bit too light for me.
9/4/2019
Excellent coffee, I absolutely love it!
9/3/2019
Flavors are ok, a bit too acidic for my tastes.
9/1/2019
Absolutely delicious! Looked forward to it every morning.
8/30/2019
I really am enjoying this roast, great bold
flavor. Will definitely go for this one again...what other brands have a similar taste as this?

8/28/2019
Too dark and smoky
8/25/2019
When I ground the coffee it had a lot of chaff. I brewed for espresso and found it to be flavorless and flat, probably because I prefer a oilier bean.
Wasn't bad for a latte, but certainly not something I'd want to brew a cup of black coffee with

8/20/2019
Really enjoyed this. The body and flavor was spot on. Plus, my dad happened to be visiting when this gift arrived and he had actually been to this roaster and was very impressed to hear they were in the Mistobox selection.
8/19/2019
It was alright but I like darker roasts better!
8/17/2019
Love this!
8/11/2019
We thought this one was a little watery.
8/10/2019
Decilicious in the French Press. Full bodied while being smooth. Nutty, almost a sweet butter taste.
8/8/2019
Amazing flavor! Send it again:)
7/31/2019
Good but not great. But I appreciated trying it!
7/27/2019
Awesome
7/23/2019
Excellent flavor. Lighter than our normal bean. Would definitely order again.
7/21/2019
Very good well rounded coffee. My new favorite.
7/18/2019
Loved it! Perfect flavor and balance.
7/17/2019
It was ok. Flavor was not very distinct. I dont like "strong" coffee but we like flavor full coffee. I thought it was a bit bland even though it smelled wonderful.
7/17/2019
It was good
7/15/2019
Good coffee!
7/14/2019
Love it
7/10/2019
Wasn’t my favorite. A bit too dark and not that exciting
7/7/2019
Delicious and smooth
7/7/2019
Love love love! Excellent full flavor in my cup. I could taste the smoke and chocolate even above my coconut creamer.
7/7/2019
too acidic
7/6/2019
Overall I like it, although I'd prefer something a bit smoother.
7/2/2019
It super sweet but really good I really enjoyed it
6/30/2019
Easy to drink, great aroma
6/30/2019
this flavor was smooth and the chocolate flavor was a plus.
6/27/2019
Enjoyed this roast!
6/27/2019
Great coffee, perfectly balanced, excellent dark notes without tasting like burnt toast
6/25/2019
it was great
6/25/2019
Don't really remember, but think it was good. Wasn't great.
6/25/2019
Too dark, but still really good.
6/23/2019
I wasn't a big fan. Tried drip and French press and the flavor seemed weaker than I like. It's a good coffee, just not for me
6/17/2019
I enjoyed this coffee. Would have liked a little more complex flavor but the chocolate notes definitely came through. Looking forward to trying another cup at home.
6/16/2019
Great, bold flavor. The description of "smoky" is dead on! I really enjoyed this coffee.
6/15/2019
I really like it!
6/13/2019
The coffee was fine but not my style. Way too dark.
6/9/2019
Not out of this world but not bad.
6/7/2019
Not bad. I was hoping for some more strength and it was a bit milder than I love
6/7/2019
Boring
6/6/2019
Maybe a little too bland
6/6/2019
This coffee was good. I found a preferred it with a splash of half and half as the flavors were bold and heavy with a chocolate taste.
6/3/2019
Great start to my subscription
5/28/2019
Tasted mellow
5/23/2019
Not for me
5/22/2019
We absolutely loved this coffee.
5/20/2019
Good
5/18/2019
Smooth and chocolately - could be more complex.
5/11/2019
Loved it and didn't want the bag to end!
5/6/2019
Has a good flavor, not too acidic.
5/6/2019
Lighter roast than I normally drink / prefer.
5/6/2019
Smelled great coming out of the bag. I don’t have a very refined coffee palate so I can’t say what notes I did and didn’t pick up but I would agree with the “well rounded body” in the description. Maybe might like to try something described as acidic?
5/5/2019
Really good coffee, prepared as a pour-over. Increased grams of coffee a bit to really bring out depth.
5/2/2019
A little sharp
5/2/2019
I liked it more than I thought I would for a dark. The Smokey flavor is definitely there but not at all overpowering. I like the smell though it’s not quite aromatic as I’d want but all in all, a very good coffee.
5/1/2019
Ok
4/30/2019
This coffee makes a pretty poor french press or pour-over, but it is great as an Aero Press (20/250). It is a pretty standard cup of coffee, but there is something to be said for consistency.
4/29/2019
Not as bold as I expected but still very good. Chocolate notes are definitely strong.
4/25/2019
It was pretty good. Definitely wasn’t blown away by the flavors but it got me through each morning.
4/24/2019
Very smooth. The flavors were great.
4/22/2019
Love it
4/20/2019
Pretty good for espresso. Not very complex flavors in pour over or french press. Not bad at all, just not a remarkable cup of coffee.
I usually prefer lighter roasts and fruitier, higher-acidity coffees like Kenyan, Ethiopian, etc.

4/20/2019
It's a little too smoky forfor my tastes. I do like the boldness
4/20/2019
Intense flavor. Bold coffee. Chocolate.
4/19/2019
Good! Different than I was used to!
4/18/2019
The chocolate part was good, but I didn't like the smokiness.
4/17/2019
I love the different levels of flavors in this coffee. A friend who ordered in on Mistobox, but did not care for it let me try hers and I loved it. So glad I ordered a bag for myself. Great finish/bold enough, but not to bold for me. thanks
4/17/2019
Not too bitter, sharp start, good flavors, smooth, smells good
4/16/2019
It's not my favorite
4/14/2019
I really like this blend. It tastes like original diner coffee. I'm very pleased.
4/10/2019
Even though this was one of he number one picks it actually wasn’t my favorite! I guess I do really just like the darker roasts!
4/8/2019
delicious, well-balanced, nutty, chocolatey
4/4/2019
We really liked this coffee. We might give it a 4.5, but it does not taste as good when it cools off. Hot coffee is always better, but it's nice not to have to keep microwaving the same cup to make it taste good. Not sure what causes that. The bold chocolate flavors are nice and well-balanced, not overpowering.
4/2/2019
Wonderful surprise for my first coffee from Misto! I intentionally left my quiz selections vague so that I would get new coffees I might not normally try. I like the hint of acidity that is not too overpowering. I like that it is a smooth and well rounded dark roast.
3/31/2019
Very Smooth
3/29/2019
A little acidic
3/27/2019
Wonderful, smooth flavor.
3/26/2019
Very good
3/22/2019
Interesting herbal scent. leaves a little too much smoke aftertaste
3/21/2019
Brighter than I expected from a darker blend, but not too acidic. I liked this one. Well balanced. Toasted almonds, dark chocolate and tart stone fruits.
3/20/2019
Definitely better than the first one I got. (Not that that one was bad). It didn't have a bitter aftertaste and I could really enjoy the various flavors within the brew without. Definitely the best one we've had so far.
3/20/2019
Different then I'm used to but pretty good
3/17/2019
Too weak for me.
3/15/2019
LOVED IT! WOULD MARRY IT!
3/14/2019
We love this coffee!
3/14/2019
Nice dark flavor and good for espresso with an easy grind.
3/14/2019
I liked this dark roast very much. I think I would prefer a darker roast for my next coffee.
3/13/2019
Great coffee it's just a little too acidic for me.
3/12/2019
Tasty
3/11/2019
Great coffee, smooth and "dry" is the best way I can put it. Amazing for cold mornings.
3/10/2019
If brewed very strong this coffee is full flavored. The bean should not be ground too fine.
3/5/2019
I enjoyed trying these beans but I felt the flavors were a little too bold for me. I could go for something smoother next time. I also got some sour notes from these beans that I could go without. Thank you!
3/5/2019
I like single origin coffees
3/2/2019
Excellent.
3/2/2019
This was just ok. I'm surprised it was the #1 rated coffee last year. It was too weak for me and not enough flavor. The atomic blend by this company is way better.
2/25/2019
Too acidic!
2/25/2019
Would like more of a nutty flavor
2/23/2019
It is okay. The hints of fruitiness kind of clash with the heavy/chocolate flavor, but I still enjoy it overall.
2/20/2019
Very good! I would say 4.5 stars, very smooth, not bitter with a rich taste.
2/20/2019
Did not like this coffee. Was neither bold (I would call it a light roast) nor full bodied. Had a lingering, almost chemical aftertaste.
2/18/2019
Good but dark for my taste
2/17/2019
Loved it! Very rich taste! No "froo-froo" taste - just good, bold coffee! Yum!
2/15/2019
Absolutely delicious! Fresh and very tasty.
2/14/2019
Very smooth and tasty. Not nearly as smoky as I anticipated and the chocolate was definitely just the right amount for my taste. I preferred the taste when course ground.
2/14/2019
Prefer a more full bodied taste. Not a favorite.
2/13/2019
It was good. It's been a few weeks since I had any of it so don't remember much but that I liked it.
2/12/2019
Enjoyed this coffee every morning. Good flavor.
2/11/2019
Its been a while so I can't quite remember it in detail. It was a pretty decent coffee.
2/10/2019
Really enjoyed this coffee. I could see myself ordering it again.
2/10/2019
Pretty good. I like dark coffee but this is a little to dark for my taste
2/9/2019
Good flavor and aroma, tastes very clean brewed in my chemex.
2/9/2019
Always tasted too bitter
2/9/2019
Average, nothing exceptional for our taste buds.
2/7/2019
It was a little lighter than I usually drink but had good flavors.
2/7/2019
Thought this coffee was delicious; really really good; thoroughly enjoyed it. One of the best coffees I have ever had.
2/7/2019
It was smooth but not as full bodied as I like
2/7/2019
I did not like this coffee, it has a kind of burned flavor. In my profile I specified medium roast, this was dark roast!
2/6/2019
Tasted awesome
2/5/2019
I don't usually drink dark roasts, but this was delicious in my espresso machine. Not too overbearing.
2/5/2019
Tasted pretty weak. Maybe i was making it wrong but i felt it wasnt as strong as i was anticipating
2/5/2019
Too light of a roast, I will only do dark roast from this point on
2/5/2019
Tasted burned. Very disappointed with my first shipment -- I thought I had said multiple times that we don't like dark roasts.
2/3/2019
3.5
Pleasantly even taste
Tasty medium roast

2/2/2019
Too smoky.
2/2/2019
It was so smooth to drink. I usually have creamer in my coffee, but this I drank black. It was great!
2/1/2019
This was lighter and not as smooth.
1/31/2019
Had a stronger flavor than the last bag but the flavor was too smoky for me. I also like coffee when it has a cute package since it sits out on my shelf. This one felt a little too punk rock.
1/30/2019
An easy drinking coffee, the Milwaukee Rock Star Blend is a balanced roast. That said, I prefer a brighter coffee and this is quite the opposite. As the tasting notes indicate, this is a dark, chocolatey cup, which was consistent smooth though lacking some of the acidity I like in a good cup of coffee. I will say that it was a great breakfast coffee, consistently flavorful (brewed with Chemex).
1/30/2019
The flavors with this one are good, yet the chocolate tones don't really come out as much, I feel like I may have over brewed this. I liked it but I would prefer other brands like stumptown or groundworks (evergreen, Bitches brew).
1/29/2019
I loved it! It was perfect for me! Very happy!
1/29/2019
I really enjoyed this blend! The dark roast had nice undertones that made it bitter, yet still sweet.
1/28/2019
One of us enjoyed this one -- it had a slightly oilier, darker mouthfeel out of the moka pot, but one of us will occasionally make an afternoon coffee with an Aeropress where none of those issues existed and the chocolate emerged more strongly.
1/27/2019
A little flat
1/26/2019
It was better than your average grocery store coffee but I have had better. I can't really describe why. Looking forward to my next box!!
1/25/2019
Not as flavorful as I'd like
1/25/2019
This was fantastic— rich and chocolatey — I ordered more from the company.
1/24/2019
Just a little too sour for me. Otherwise some nice qualities. Ok for superautomatic.
1/24/2019
It is definitely flavorful and blended well with a cashew concocted creamer! By itself, it almost tasted fruity- likely the cherries. I believe I want something with darker notes of chocolate.
1/23/2019
A little bitter each way we tried to make it (drip, pour over, french, and aero press).
1/23/2019
Decent flavor, was labeled as a medium-dark roast but was on the medium to medium light in effect.
1/22/2019
This one was okay. There was something off on the taste that I can't put a finger on.
1/20/2019
Very good, not as dark as I would like.
1/19/2019
Not great
1/19/2019
This makes a great cup of coffee! I thoroughly enjoyed it.
1/18/2019
it was good but I like more flavor
1/18/2019
OK
1/18/2019
I can't get it to not be extremely bitter on my Breville Barista Express. Haven't had a good espresso from this bag yet. :(
1/17/2019
I like the taste but it could be a little bolder and more French roast
1/16/2019
Loved it!
1/15/2019
Really liked the chocolate and the roast in general.
1/15/2019
My Dad LOVED this particular coffee!
1/15/2019
loved it
1/14/2019
Excellent, very smooth
1/14/2019
Good but would prefer a darker roast
1/13/2019
Decent cup of coffee but fairly sinmple.
1/13/2019
Too fruity
1/13/2019
The coffee was good, but not as rich in flavor as I like. The "Strawberry notes " eluded me, but it had a milder sweetness. I'm glad I had a chance to try it. Great gift.
1/13/2019
Loved the Milwaukee Rock Star blend! Very rich, nutty and yummy chocolate.
1/12/2019
Have to say I was very pleasantly surprised. Thought the dark roast would make it too toasty, but very flavorful and tasty.
1/11/2019
Really smooth, but not very flavorful. Brewed as both drip-coffee and espresso.
1/10/2019
Its pretty dark, the flavor is very balanced, it leaves my mouth kinda dry. Its ok for an afternoon cup. Honestly its just a little boring :) But I don't hate it.
1/9/2019
Smooth
1/9/2019
Too acidic for use in a espresso machine
1/8/2019
Hit the nail RIGHT on the head with the first shipment!
Bold, pleasant flavors, without being too dark and lost to my palette of “it all tastes like French Roast at this point.”
Looking forward to more roasts in the medium/medium-dark category!

1/8/2019
Too much acidity for my taste but blends well with my darker roasts.
1/8/2019
This has been my favorite so far!
1/8/2019
too bitter tasting
1/7/2019
Chocolate. Its a nice coffee, but a little too dark for my taste
1/7/2019
I prefer lighter roasts, usually from African regions
1/7/2019
I didn't really enjoy it. I think it might have been the "smoky".
1/6/2019
I really hope this did not ship. I did not select this. I did not even set up my account until today, so I don’t know why this states it shipped. I do not drink blends. I only choose very particular lime notes from single origin coffee sources. Please stop this shipment.
1/6/2019
I'm over halfway through the bag. It's not bad, but beyond that first cup (V60 Scott Rao method was the best cup I produced, I have used 4:6 as well) it hasn't really appealed to me as much. No success with other methods (Kalita, Chemex, clever dripper)
1/5/2019
I don't think the description is accurate. I detect strong citrus right away. Chocolate isn't quite right, more like baking cocoa, with the acidity to boot. It is quite medium and requires more bean to water than my usual ratio, which is a little challenging. There is no smokiness during cupping, but it lingers in the finish like actually having smoked tobacco. I'm not in love with it.
1/4/2019
Good neat espresso, accurate flavor profile, body was a little thin
1/4/2019
Great for cold brew. Slightly oily for hot brew. Chocolate flavors are great
1/3/2019
Great aroma, seemed very fresh. Lighter bean color than I'm used to, but liked the flavor a lot.
1/3/2019
Just ok; not terribly rich or dark. Good flavor but not memorable to my taste.
1/3/2019
Once I got my brewing method for this one down it was really nice. Slightly smokey and Carmel flavors.
1/2/2019
my first pot i didn't get the water/coffee ratio correct. the next pot was good. flavor was good but not especially exceptional. enjoying it but looking forward to our next one.
1/1/2019
Enjoyed this coffee a lot. Definitely started my day off right. Wouldn't call it my all time favorite, but I'd enjoy getting another bag of it.
1/1/2019
It was excellent coffee that was sent as a gift. I am used to the darker more oily beans so getting used to a new style takes time.
1/1/2019
It tastes too charred for our preferences and definitely not a coffee I would buy again. The chipmunk-ish logo is cute, though.
12/31/2018
Chemex: Like the smokiness, sweet finish, and nice aftertaste... don't like the fact that the coffee is a little bland, not super smooth and a little too bitter. I also can't decide if I like the bitterness or not.
Hario V60: Same impressions as before but more nuanced. Still smokey (not sure if I like that or not), a little less bitter, can definitely taste the chocolate notes more which I like.

Really great blend. Used with pour over method. It was smooth, rich with zero bitterness. I drink my coffee black and found myself drinking waaaaayyyyy more than the usual 2 cups a day.
12/31/2018
Pre-brew had a nice deep, Smokey smell to the beans. Wonderful aeromatics after the brew - smokey, chocolately, and nutty. The flavor was like a dark chocolate, almond with hints of carmel. Clean finish with little bitterness. A great first coffee!
12/31/2018
I really loved this coffee! It was very smooth and rich... the flavor was in my top 5 coffees I've ever had!
12/31/2018
I was brewing this with a 24/400 recipe and realized on the last cup that a strong recipe worked much better. 31/400 was pretty nice. I guess this coffee was a little on the weaker side and needed so extra grinds to bring out the flavors. I guess I am struggling here because the boldness, to me means, you could use a weaker recipe.
12/31/2018
Very smooth, which I like, but not a very intense flavor...
12/31/2018
Smooth, medium roast.
12/30/2018
Didn't really enjoy this one. Couldn't get too much on the nose. Spice and heaviness in the taste, which I'm not particularly fond of. Not very complex, or, if so, hard for me to pick up on in heavier bold roasts. Wouldn't buy again, but will still drink it all gladly! Just being picky, considering how many options are out there
12/30/2018
Not great flavor for me.
12/29/2018
Love it.
12/29/2018
Too watery and light
12/29/2018
Nice
12/28/2018
Excellent taste. I will purchase this coffee again.
12/28/2018
Pretty standard
12/27/2018
Darker than I would usually pick but I really loved it! The smell was amazing.
12/27/2018
So far we like it. I can taste chocolate, would not say it is bold. Maybe a different grind will help and follow the package directions, for brewing their way.
12/27/2018
Like a little bolder roast
12/27/2018
Flavorful; leaves a taste of dark chocolate in your mouth.
12/26/2018
Very smooth, I can drink this black. Not acidic at all. It’s not pungent in flavor but it’s mild and very drinkable.
12/26/2018
I'm not a huge fan of how heavy the "smoky" flavor is.
12/26/2018
This is a dry bean. The coffee has a wonderful dry, burnt taste to it that is lovely and simple. Like a burnt field. Makes for a great mouthfeel.
12/26/2018
Made so far with chimed and smooth brew. The notes are not my favorite.
12/25/2018
Good fresh roast
Not as full bodied as expected

12/25/2018
Taste pretty good.
12/25/2018
We did not like this selection. It was earthy and soapy tasting.
12/23/2018
Best bag we've received so far. Good bold flavor without that overly burnt or bitterness of a super dark roast.
12/23/2018
Really like this coffee much better than the other. The other was too bitter this was more balanced. Next coffee i would love a darker roast tho. Definately do not like bitter. Thanks!!!!
12/19/2018
Nice and chocolatey, not too intense.
12/19/2018
Easy to drink, smooth, good mouth feel, mild acidity
12/16/2018
Good coffee; not my favorite but very drinkable
12/15/2018
Liked this better!
12/13/2018
smell: fruity/ tart. Taste: bold/strong. dark chocolate aftertaste. bitter initial taste. 9 tablespoons to 1 liter of water.
12/8/2018
Very good!
12/6/2018
I love this coffee! It's my new favorite!
12/5/2018
I have had hotel coffee that was better.
12/4/2018
Good espresso with nice crema. Just a little too smokey for our tastes to make it truly excellent.
12/4/2018
Milwaukee Rock Star Blend was good - but not as good as the first one, Kickapoo Coffee Roasters, Driftless Organic Blend.
This one smelled great in the bag, but was a little bland after brewing. There was maybe a little bit too much acidic taste as well.

12/3/2018
Was a little to bold for my taste I would enjoy a little less intense
12/2/2018
Kind of weak
12/1/2018
I enjoyed the notes of chocolate and how well it stood up to a little sweetener. I'd like to try some other coffees with a tad more unique flavors to supplement, but will definitely be returning to the Milwaukee Rock Star Blend and coffees like it.
11/23/2018
As my first ‘real’ coffee, I was pleasantly surprised with a coffee that boasts a smoky spice dark roast. Still new to tastes and with not much else to go by, I really enjoyed this coffee. My favorite was how smooth it went down; the taste itself was not outlandish, which I think is beneficial for a starter. I do enjoy a strong coffee flavor, and I think this touched upon that. Rating four stars as a foundation to base future coffee - may need to update later.
11/23/2018
Nice nutty flavor!
11/21/2018
This blend was OK. Had a little acidity that I wasn't too fond of.
11/19/2018
Good
11/12/2018
I liked it but would like a little more body
11/10/2018
This coffee was a little too dark of a roast for us
11/6/2018
Far too weak.
11/6/2018
Really enjoyed it. Perfect roast/darkness of beans for our taste. I think ideally we'd like something with a little more of a nutty characteristic to it.
10/30/2018
Didn't blow us away -- I think we like a little sweeter to match the smokiness.
10/29/2018
We found this bland--not very much flavor at all. Really liked the prior coffee from Dilano's a lot. It was a medium light roast and we felt if it had been a medium roast it would have been near perfect, though did have a nice flavor.
10/28/2018
A bit too smoky for our ideal coffee, but good taste.
10/27/2018
I did not like this one either
10/26/2018
Ii like this one but I like Green Planet a little better
10/24/2018
Very nice balance of aroma, flavor and intensity.
10/24/2018
A nice round cup. Held up well even as it cool. Roast was excellent, a delicious smooth chocolate, bold flavor
10/23/2018
Liked how the beans were not burnt. It has a flat finish. From a beer tasting stand point, this coffe had no beginning or end, it was all middle.
10/23/2018
Wonderfully smooth, delish flavor. I will definitely give them more business
10/22/2018
I enjoyed the chocolate notes in this one. The milwaukee rockstar wasn't too acidic but had good flavor, which I really enjoy.
10/18/2018
Too much of a nutty taste
10/15/2018
Great taste. Perfect bodied.
10/10/2018
I am usually very particular about drinking coffee straight up, but this tastes best black, in my opinion. Cream and sugar, while it can be good, ruin this one and takes away from the flavor! Love it and have been doing at least two cups a day!
10/8/2018
It was fairly muted. There wasn't really any complexity in this one. Would prefer brighter coffees where I can taste all the different notes
10/5/2018
Had some acidity that I didn't love, but overall made a good cup.
10/3/2018
This was amazing! It smells and tastes great. It is not too acidic tasting either.
9/30/2018
Delicious, smooth dark roasted coffee.
9/29/2018
Delish
9/29/2018
Really not good, this is my third bag from Anodyne and they have all tasted like cardboard. I'm usually happy with any fresh roasted coffee but these coffee's just seem poorly roasted or maybe baked instead
9/25/2018
A bit too smoky.
9/24/2018
Nothing really stood out in this coffee. It has a full body and some dark-chocolate roast character without being too assertive. I didn't really pick up any "smokiness" and it seems a bit one-dimensional to me.
9/20/2018
A bit too acidic
9/19/2018
Love this coffee. Very well rounded and full of flavor.
9/2/2018
Not very bold. Tastes best as a poor over. French press was not very strong.
9/1/2018
good balance medium and dark
8/24/2018
It’s okay, but this is not even close to what was requested last tome. I had tried to select a coffee in the brew queue before this was selected but the website messed up on my phone I guess. This will do, but of my three months this is a bummer that one was not catered to my preferences at all.
8/20/2018
I liked this one way more than I thought I would!
8/8/2018
My husband and I LOVED THIS. We liked it even more than the prior one. We like how it is bold and smoky but still kind of smooth & balanced. Its strong and bold without tasting bitter or burnt.
8/8/2018
it was ok - kind of weak and the chocolate taste was mild at best. not my favorite
8/7/2018
Didn't like it quite as much as the Green Planet Organic Blend, but still good.
7/24/2018
Not strong / bold enough for me
7/21/2018
love this blend! my favorite of the two i have received so far.
7/16/2018
Although it had good taste, it had no mouth feel. It was thin and did not have a full body. It was low in acid and flat.
7/7/2018
to bold and smoky
7/4/2018
full bodied with mainly chocolate notes with some spice in the finish. Fortunately, the smokiness was mild and did not overpower. Minimal acidity.
Though good, going forward I want to explore beyond what I know i like. Please continue the chocolate/caramel undertones but with more subtlety of other tones including stone fruit, berries, honey, sugar cane, cherries etc. Avoid sharp citrus tones for now. Keep roast to medium (light also OK)

Anodyne Milwaukee Rock Star Blend is the star of the show. Great taste and feel. Excellent choice for any time of the day. In my top 5.
6/13/2018
It's okay. Too astringent for my liking. The first coffee was better.
6/7/2018
Thanks Samantha!. Really good coffee. A little darker than the first- if I had to choose I liked the first- really unique flavor palette- but they were both fantastic.
6/5/2018
Very good! Not too dark not too light
5/31/2018
Very appealing to the tastebuds.
5/27/2018
The first coffee was better a little bolder. This Milwaukee'blend is smooth and rich. They are both delicious.
5/20/2018
Nice aroma; smooth/clean finish; doesn't stand out as much as the prior two however
5/20/2018
It was good, but we prefer something darker and more full-bodied
5/10/2018
Fairly balanced roast with full flavors.
5/8/2018
I like this coffee
4/23/2018
Another great afternoon cup
4/18/2018
IMO was very excited for this one after reading about it, however it didn’t quite have the richness we were hoping for. Had a good earthiness and a hint of smoke to it, but was hoping for more rich round toffee/pipe tobacco flavors.
4/18/2018
The best! Smooth and rich.
4/13/2018
I loved this coffee. It was very smooth with chocolate undertones. It retained it's flavor over ice after a strong initial grind and brew.
4/13/2018
liked it better than the others. am not good with gourmet words -- just like or not.
4/2/2018
didnt love it.
4/1/2018
I t was good. Simple. Didn't find it overly flavorful, but you could smell the smoke.
3/12/2018
Tastes like a flavored coffee that my girls would drink with hints of butterscotch. Will have to give this one away. I like coffee that is super dark and the oil runs down your hand when you pour it out of the bag.
3/10/2018
Loved this one. Less bitter than the previous, which I was not expecting as the description made it sound darker. Very pleased with this one.
3/5/2018
I really enjoyed drinking this coffee - much more my taste! My husband described it as "too strong tasting for him" but i loved it. He likes a costa rican bean that i used to get so not sure it was the smoky part of this coffee he didn't like or whether it was just too bold.
3/3/2018
Good, but no extra notes stand out to me in this one.
3/1/2018
Pretty good! I like bold coffee flavor without the extra citrus enhancements. I prefer coffee that tastes, brewed, as good as it does in the bag before brewing - I know it's a tall order!
2/28/2018
Not as good as the first one. More bitter.
2/21/2018
Weak, fairly flavorless. Definitely would not order again.
2/19/2018
Excellent flavor with bold taste.
2/18/2018
I am not a fan of smoky.
2/18/2018
LOVED the flavor! By far one of my favorite cups of coffee
2/12/2018
Good subtle taste
2/12/2018
Good
2/12/2018
Smooth, great flavor. Easy to drink. Will purchase again.
2/11/2018
Really good! interesting taste
2/10/2018
We loved this compared to the first. Something similar in it's balance would be greatly received for our next coffee.
Thank you for listening to our last comments!

Subtle roasted flavors without the "bite". Nice roast with nutty overtones.
2/6/2018
This is the single worst bag of coffee I've ever had.
Edit - looking back over my history, I seem to not like this brand of coffee. No more Anodyne for me please

liked this one, good choice!
2/6/2018
Smooth and rich
2/3/2018
This is more full bodied than the Sea Breeze, and still has a bit of a nutty flavor, which I enjoy. It's good, but it's not a home run. I'm still looking for a coffee with bit more body to it. Question: does that nutty flavor only come with the lighter roasts?
1/30/2018
Hi -- I didn't like this one as much as the Hondura Las Capucas. We found this one to be not as rich or flavorfull.
1/29/2018
Better than previous blends. This coffee has a funny cocoa aftertaste. Does not have any complexity just a funny aftertaste. We would not purchase this blend.
1/29/2018
I have enjoyed this blend.
1/27/2018
Really like this one. Just a great blend of flavors!
1/26/2018
Nice little blend. A touch dark for my taste.
1/25/2018
Excellent choice, very nice in our lattes.
1/24/2018
Pretty ordinary stuff. Has a dull, flat taste and not a great coffee smell - I can get this kind of stuff at the grocery store.
1/23/2018
This coffee is much better than the first batch, the chocolate comes through nicely!!!
1/22/2018
I think we liked this a lot more than the first box of coffee!
1/22/2018
Dislike. I do not prefer medium to dark roasts
1/21/2018
I liked this coffee very much and I also liked the first two coffees I received. They were a nice blend not too strong and a good flavor.
1/20/2018
Not sure if I'm double sending this.... sorry if so:
I am thoroughly enjoying this one! I can't give an opinion on the first shipment since my friend accidentally shipped it to an old address, but this has been hitting the spot! I think I tend to like coffees with either citrus or cocoa notes. My all time favorite coffee so far is Murchie's label Mexican Fancy. I am not a big Starbucks fan but do enjoy the Cafe Verona from there. Maybe that will give you an idea of what I tend to like, but it's also fun to try new things too! Thanks for this month's selection & Happy New Year

Excellent
9/20/2017
Good and balanced. Makes a nice cup of espresso. Not as interesting of a flavor profile as some of the other coffee's I have tried.
4/22/2017
Nice and easy to drink! Good medium blend with bold flavor.
4/3/2017
Super bold but mostly balanced with low acidity just on the front of the tongue that disappears almost immediately. Definitely some strong smokey, cocoa, earthy tones but they smooth out into a great cup of coffee that just lights up the morning. We loved this coffee because it was bold yet really delicious. I could see not everybody wanting such an in-your-face cup of coffee but this is exactly what we are looking for. I could see us stocking up on this as our go to choice!
3/12/2017
It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything to get excited about.
3/3/2017
So, there's a decent chance that I didn't love this coffee because it took me about two weeks to get it because of some trouble with the post, but this is the first time, barring any breakfasts I've spent with my grandparents, that a coffee has tasted like nothing. I've tried brewing it in a variety of ways, tinkering with my grinder and water temperature, and still nothing makes this coffee taste like coffee. I am pretty relaxed about coffee, but I was super disappointed in this blend. It had no body, as was described, and I couldn't discern any of the flavor notes. Hopefully the next one will be better!
2/9/2017
Not enough subtlety with our regular coffee maker. A bit better with a cold immersion method, but overall not as good as the first coffee we received.
2/8/2017
Loved this one. I could even go bolder!
2/6/2017
The rockstar is, by far, the best of the brews to arrive. Earthy and nutty with minimal acidity. The unroasred beans are less aromatic than others but, once brewed, open up to a great flavor.
2/6/2017
Hi Samantha
The Milwaukee blend is really good....nice and smooth.
Better than previous shipment. Unless there is a better choice, we would like it on the next shipment. What are other choices?

I was surprised by this coffee! I normally don't like blends (or Central American coffees), but my first cup of this was really good! The coffee wasn't terribly acidic, and had a full-bodied flavor. I thought it was well-balanced. A flavorful "every-man" coffee that I would drink again. I think the fact that it is blended dark/light gives it a lighter touch than a medium, but also a fuller flavor. I expected the light/dark blend to produce a medium, but it actually comprised the best parts of each roast. The 'smoky spice' note really came out. Probably my favorite blend I've ever had! It wasn't as dark as I thought that it was going to be. Also, the bean itself was dry, as opposed to the previous coffee that had an oily texture (is this the difference between 'wet-process' and 'dry-process'?) The drier bean gave a better flavor in my opinion. This is a good afternoon coffee.
1/4/2017
Loved it! Great body and scent. The smoky spice was not overpowering.
12/27/2016
just not my specific taste...
12/13/2016
A solid coffee, but a little dark for our taste
12/1/2016
Not a great coffee. Has a bitter taste.
11/27/2016
the bag had a hole in it and the beans were so stale. this was an awful experience.
11/22/2016
my favorite so far
11/7/2016
Robust and smokey; great blend of flavors
11/7/2016
Did not like this blend. Too acidic and not dark enough
10/7/2016
Definitely on the lighter end of what I prefer. The flavor was nice and I noticed it paired really well with sweets, but I don't see myself drinking this level of roast regularly. I tried it on aeropress and french press and I liked the aeropress better.
10/2/2016
Good cup of joe to start the morning. Nice medium roast balance. Would like morning cup a bit richer with oils.
9/23/2016
LOVE IT!!! Great tasting coffee! (packaging was very nice as well!)
9/15/2016
ok...not great. Just kind of a standard cup of coffee.

Loved this one!

Not a big fan of lighter roasts but I enjoyed it.
8/16/2016
Originally I thought this coffee was too light for me. However, once I dialed in the right amount to brew, I really enjoyed it. The earthy/smoky flavor is very nice, very tasty.

Smells and tastes horrible. Smoky acidic taste is nasty. I like dark which was noted on my subscription and got sent this. HORRIBLE CHOICE CONNOR!!! After one pot this is going in the trash.

Unimpressed. Even "boring." Would not recommend.
8/6/2016
Delicious, smelled great- could have packed a bit more of a punch but still did the job! I noticed different flavors each time I drank it, which is something I love. Would definitely purchase this on my own now. Thanks for the great recommendation Connor!

Awful I like super dark roast this is light too acidic no bite. Smells like nasty mesquite smoke! Vomit!
8/1/2016
For those who like a light / medium roast, this is a good coffee- very smooth and balanced. I prefer a much darker roast.
7/30/2016
Too light, not much flavor, kinda the opposite of a rockstar.
7/23/2016
we didn't love this one. it was a little too bitter/acidic for us.
7/20/2016
Great chocolate notes. Very smooth blend

I really was looking forward to this coffee because the beans smelt so good, but I've found it impossible to brew. Every once in a while I'll get those rare beans that are a little finicky, and take a lot of precision to get the full flavor, but these are just impossible. No matter the proportion of beans, the fineness of the grind, the amount of time soaking, or the method of preparation, I cannot get this coffee to release the flavor profile it clearly possesses. It's really disappointing and frustrating.

Too weak for our taste.
6/9/2016
I thought the smokiness would be weird but I like it!
5/9/2016
Far too acidic for me.
5/2/2016
A little lighter than I prefer, and a little heavy on the smoky flavor. Not a bad cup and I enjoyed it more when I brewed it a bit stronger, but I didn't love it as much as the last choice I received.
5/1/2016
Great coffee. Crisp and a little spice gives off a great aroma. Love starting my day with it.
4/26/2016
This coffee smells amazing. For a medium blend, it was good. I like bolder flavors and dark roasts, so this coffee wasn't my favorite. But I would love to try other blends this roaster has. For anyone that likes coffee that isn't too lite or dark, this is perfect.
4/26/2016
Prefer a very dark roast.
4/7/2016
Not a fan - I'm not sure if its the spice or the dryness, but even the smell of the beans in the bag wasn't very appealing to me.
4/2/2016
I was disappointed in this coffee in that it was too light of a roast when I had requested dark. The beans also seemed old or stale and somewhat sour.
3/16/2016
I liked this one a bunch
3/7/2016
Great morning cup of coffee
2/26/2016
Tasty cup of joe
2/25/2016
Very strong, but not too bitter. Would purchase again in the future.
2/23/2016
Solid coffee, but the smoky spice is a little odd at times.
2/21/2016
Was not a fan of this coffee. It should not be in the dark roast category. It actually tasted stale too. Not worth $16. This is not one to make me continue buying from Mistobox. I'd rather buy from my neighborhood roaster.
2/15/2016
Not quite bold enough for my taste. It almost tasted weak.
Brewer it a second time a bit stronger and enjoyed the flavor more. Tasted a few chocolate notes

Update: the coffee has grown on me more as drinking it black. It really is quite good. I'll keep my star rating as I know there are a plethora of amazing coffee's out there. First coffee sets the standard. :)
I like it. It's quite different from what I'm use to. Having it Black I'd rate it 3 stars and having it with a splash of milk and a teaspoon of sugar and it's about a 4. Although I'm a black coffee guy mostly. I like the hint of smoothness in there which is what I like when going plain black. Not quite as bold and smokey as I'd prefer, such as a cafe verona type blend. I'd give it a solid 3.5/5 and will continue to enjoy it. I prefer dark and potent blends. This one isn't all that strong in the flavor department for dark coffees but I'd like it as a medium roast. A 3 star is a daily coffee for me. 2 is for a below average "need it now" cup and 1 is the garbage they supply us at work with... which taste like cardboard.
Of course a 4 and a 5 star would be a staple in my coffee drinking.

My Favorite, Perfect !
2/13/2016
A pretty well-balanced blend.
2/10/2016
We loved this one! So smooth, great flavor, just delicious.
2/7/2016
I was not impressed with this coffee. Too light/weak for my taste. Sumatra has been my go to everyday coffee. My favorite so far has been the parisan espresso blend and double dark blend.
2/6/2016
I like it. I don't know that I would go out of my way to order it again (a little too earthy for my preference) but definitely an enjoyable batch.
1/25/2016
Too light tasting, not rich enough.
1/24/2016
Loved the mix of light and dark taste. Great with raw sugar or a little honey, by itself it's wonderful. Shared it with everyone at work- and they all found it very smooth.
1/22/2016
This was a great coffee blend, bold but not overpowering.
1/13/2016
This one was disappointing. It was more like a ultra light roast than a dark. The beans seemed bland.
1/12/2016
Good flavor, but not as strong as we like. UPDATE: Made stronger and this is terrific. But uses up the coffee faster that way.
12/19/2015
Although a blend, this coffee drinks like a dark roast, full bodied and rich. I don't seem to get the various flavors mentioned on the label, but still it's an enjoyable cup for fans of dark roast.
12/13/2015
Good flavor, just notbdark enough and a little too Smokey for my liking
12/11/2015
Personally I loved this, but my wife found it too weak. The flavor is on point, regardless of the boldness, but something with a little stronger flavor, but the same flavor profile, would be excellent.
12/11/2015
This one's pretty good but I don't get a lot of smokey notes out of it. Would love to see something darker along that line.
12/10/2015
An acceptable coffee, however, not as bold as I would prefer. I would characterize the blend as possessing subtle smokey and spice notes rather than bold.
12/8/2015
overall too light for me, but interesting flavors
12/6/2015
favorite coffee!
12/2/2015
earthy and balanced red fruit and light cocoa notes
11/28/2015
to dry and not dark enough
11/12/2015
Great flavor
11/8/2015
Delicious deep smokey flavors. I feel like I'm by a campfire. Not a huge fan of the acidity though. Would prefer if this didn't have that zing before the smokey notes hit your nose.
11/2/2015
Not bad. Nice flavor
9/29/2015
I smelled citrus and possibly sweet chocolate fudge when I opened the package. The medium brown beans were not oily and brewed a rust-colored cup of coffee. This blend is fairly balanced, not overpowering and slightly sweet. I wouldn't consider this a bold roast by any means, but I found the flavor to be unique and interesting.
6/27/2015
pretty good but not as bold as we like
6/22/2015
This coffee didn't have much flavor to me. It wasn't bad, it just didn't have any distinct flavors. It kind of tasted like restaurant coffee.
