It’s probably a touch dark and not as nuanced as we’d like.

Too dark for my tastes. Not a bad brew at all, just not my preference.
7/24/2023
I don’t like this one at all
5/21/2023
So good! Chocolate notes, berries... all really distinguishable. An easy brew to make, amazing black or as a latte. Definitely love this roast!
5/9/2023
This was a pretty good balanced brew but a little low on the wow factor. Good sweetness and a bit of dark chocolate underlying a good berry brightness.
12/12/2022
I think it may be a little too fruity.

good drip coffee
8/22/2022
Maybe a hint of berries on this one, but it tasted closer to a dark French roast, which I am not a fan of at all.
8/6/2022
Unique flavor, enjoy it as an espresso
7/27/2022
I've yet to really explore light roast coffee—this was a good intro! Like the flavor overall
7/11/2022
Solid blend. Nose had a distinctive notes of vegetable stew. Chocolatey palate/mouthfeel and I notice the berries on the finish. I prefer a brighter coffee (more floral or citrus) with some nuanced complexity.
6/10/2022
I love fruit noted coffees in the spring and summer months. This was one of the relatively lower acidity coffees that I have had that still captured a strong amount berry profile. I loved the front notes with the berries and the finish of smooth chocolate. Perfect spring coffee!

I don’t know why but this coffee was actually sour despite proper brewing, pour over or in our Jura
4/9/2022
Difficult to dial in on my machine, always a bit more acidic than I'd like
3/23/2022
Enjoyed it

another complex and delicious olympia coffee blend
12/10/2021
A bit light of a roast for me but still enjoyable. I'm trying to keep my mind open to the lighter side of medium to see what is out there I might like and this is a good one. Not too overly acidic. But chocolate comes through easily. Gotta work a little to draw the berry notes out but it's great when u do.
11/1/2021
pretty good, a little bit extra berry notes but may try a different blend of theirs
10/27/2021
Good solid coffee. Easy to brew. I ended up brewing at 198 degrees for the best taste.
10/3/2021
Smooth coffee for brewing a bit weak for expresso, overall good flavor
5/20/2021
Lighter bodied, not our favorite or as tasteful as some of the others. Plum flavored and lighter.
5/11/2021
simply thebest
5/5/2021
I had a good pull or two from my espresso maker but most were a miss. The shots that I got were really good but most had a heavy sour taste.
5/3/2021
This cup of cappuccino isn't our cup of tea. Tastes more like milk chocolate than like dark chocolate. Reminds me of a 100 pound weakling, not a bold, rich cappuccino. watery milk chocolate and caramel are the dominate notes: not really tasting the coffee flavor at all. Tastes like a George Howell cappuccino. If you like that, you'll love this, but if you want a more assertive brew, get outta the Big Truck and move on down the highway!
4/4/2021
So smooth and balanced - wonderful flavor.
2/26/2021
The 2nd bag I had was one of my favs. Upgraded my rating from 3 stars to 4.
1/30/2021
Tasting notes said chocolate and blueberry and I actually tasted chocolate and blueberry. Basically does what it says on the tin.
Excellent (5-stars) as a French press brew 4-stars as Chemex (no cream either way).

This one is so good. Has a delicious chocolate smoke once it hits your palette.
1/13/2021
Obviously enjoying coffee is a very personal experience, but I throughly did not enjoy this expresso. It tastes exactly as described: chocolate and berries. But, to an extreme that I've never before experienced.
On top of the extreme flavors, it is bitter and has a weak crema.

Wine like. Didnt like flavor
8/16/2020
First order from Mistobox. Must say it's really good coming from lavazza. Also the bean in my grinder grinds finer and doesn't fill up the porta filter as much. I want too keep ordering this one, but I need to try others also.
7/15/2020
Favorite espresso yet.
7/12/2020
Favorite so far for brewing espresso
7/6/2020
One of my favorite from mistobox so far. If brewed right you get a big chocolate flavor at the beginning, notes of blueberry in the middle, and caramel to finish.

Best coffee I've had from Mistobox.... just perfect
6/8/2020
Probably my favourite ever!
5/24/2020
Phenomenal espresso with every pour; maybe the best I've ever had!
5/1/2020
Odd flavor with a bad after taste.
4/14/2020
Just okay. Not great in my espresso machine, okay as press pot.
3/6/2020
Delicious!!
2/29/2020
Excellent smooth espresso with hints of chocolate
2/16/2020
A little to fruity
2/11/2020
Good espresso, good but subtle flavor.
12/10/2019
Decent coffee, didn't really stand out to me too much but it wasn't bad.
8/14/2019
Not quite roasty enough.
7/11/2019
Wonderful coffee. Great as straight espresso & as cappuccino as well. Smooth & flavorful.
7/6/2019
Too light for my taste
6/30/2019
Floral fruity espresso on the nose, buttery rich, hint of nuts as a cappuccino. It was near impossible to sink a shot. For the first time, I really liked- no loved, an organic coffee. This whole time I've been thinking that I may have been conditioned to enjoy the taste of pesticides. This coffee proves that wrong. It's not just "delicious for an organic coffee", but a delicious coffee period. As an added bonus, when USPS failed to update, the roasters were on top of it and automatically sent another bag straight away to make sure I got my coffee. Thus, I got to enjoy this twice. Definitely one that I would recommend and would purchase again!

Love the berry flavors for espresso, well balanced cup
4/25/2019
fabulous. perfect balance of flavors for espresso. I'd get it again it is so good.
4/20/2019
Very good. Lots of flavor.
3/19/2019
Outstanding! Love this espresso as well as any I have tried and I have tasted many.
2/19/2019
Very aromatic, mild taste. Kind of a chocolate-berry taste. Nice! None of the harshness or bitterness of some of the other samples recently.
2/2/2019
This is my first order and I have really enjoyed it. An excellent espresso, very smooth finish and taste.
1/3/2019
Not as good as the Sweetheart San Marcos
11/5/2018
Good balanced cup. I used mostly pour over, but also in a press. The best results came when using a hario woodneck. No exiting notes, but a very good cup of coffee.
10/5/2018
Beautiful espresso! The balance of chocolate and berry is perfect
9/8/2018
I don't see that "ripe berry"
Strong morning espresso, and flat to my taste

Pretty nice shots with amazing crema. With a little more boldness, would have been 5 star.
4/2/2018
Just ok as french press/drip coffee, but quite good as espresso
3/26/2018
Always good. It's the Capitol of coffees
3/1/2018
Berry notes are too strong for my tastes. After taste was a little sour as well. Need to stick with more Earthy flavors.
2/16/2018
The ripe berry is really pronounced on this espresso. It's the first and last thing you taste. The dark chocolate is a bit too bitter and lacks the sweetness that would have given this a 5. It might be my burr dulling, but I had a tough time pulling it right. I added a gram or 2 more than usual at 20g, slightly more coarse. Great espresso and will not hesitate to buy it again.
10/28/2017
The profile was slightly bland. No big base or sweetness to cut through milk. I followed the roaster's brewing parameters and was able to dial it in to get between 19 - 20% extraction rates but it just didnt shine. The acidic notes tasted 'roasty' and with it being a lighter roast it was not something I would expect.
9/17/2017
good to okay blend, nothing special, but a solid choice
5/31/2017
NIce and thick with bright flavors and some chocolate on the first sip
5/5/2017
A little bitter in the afternoons for my taste
