Coffee Story
Description
This is the Blue Orchid Blend brought to you by Huckleberry Roasters. Huckleberry changes the components of this blend frequently, but they always try to maintain a sweet, full bodied, chocolate and caramel flavor profile by using Central and South American coffees specifically chosen for those qualities. This is great tasting comfort coffee and is a well-rounded crowd pleaser, it tastes great on its own or even with a bit of milk. Great for all brewing methods including espresso.

Well balanced, nothing special
5/10/2021
we loved it
4/28/2021
Very good diner style coffee, tastes great black or with milk
4/14/2021
Not all that much flavor compared to previous coffees. Also didn't work well with my Bialetti Brikka stovetop.
4/10/2021
Nice sour flavor.
3/20/2021
Very good and smooth
3/16/2021
Nice flavor
3/7/2021
Pretty good - was hard to get the flavor come through at a higher ratio
3/1/2021
Great coffee. The chocolate real came through. Nice body
2/21/2021
Very tasty, really liked it.
2/21/2021
Finally got delivered yesterday on 2/19 (USPS is having issues in Chicago). Really enjoying so far, great coffee.
2/20/2021
Not remarkable. A good espresso but it didn't yield good pulls with good crema. I'd say slightly above average.
2/17/2021
best yet, crisper but dark taste. very good
2/13/2021
Love it! Great flavor!
2/8/2021
This coffee was thin (not full-bodied) and pretty uninteresting to me. I did taste the caramel notes and it’s definitely not bad, but just nothing special. I made this in a chemex with about a 16:1 water:coffee ratio. Maybe it’s better as espresso or a french press, but I wasn’t feeling it with chemex.
2/1/2021
4 stars, this is a killer coffee. Smells so good and is wonderful as an espresso. A real winner! I think Phantom Limb is their best roast.
1/31/2021
Not as full bodied as I'd hoped.
1/27/2021
OK coffee. Nothing special.
1/25/2021
Loving the full body that the coffee delivers.
1/6/2021
Too much chaff. Very messy. Not a very full bodied cup.
12/23/2020
Best one yet.
12/20/2020
This was exactly as described. It made a much better shot of espresso in my Breville. I drink all coffee black, so I did not take the advice to add a bit of milk - but it was just OK as drip coffee.
12/17/2020
My palate for coffee is still being worked on, but this is by far and beyond one of my favorite coffee blends to date!
12/6/2020
I am 99% this is the best coffee I've made at home. I take my coffee with cream and make it in a Chemex or pourover. I am actually trying NOT to use it so it will last longer! I will definitely be buying this, so grateful to Mistobox for sending me the perfect coffee.
12/3/2020
It's good, but too much chocolate and caramel for my usual taste. It's nice to changeup with the Central/South American blend, but I prefer more balance.
11/29/2020
The taste is decent but not strong.
11/19/2020
"Sweet" is right. The flavor/feel I like least in coffee is what feels like high acidity — anything characterized as "bright." This is basically the opposite of that, comfort coffee indeed, but brews up nice and full flavored.
11/11/2020
Getting back on track with this one after several mediocre beans. This one has some good chocolate flavor and isn't too dark.
10/26/2020
Enjoyed drinking it black
10/23/2020
Very good!
10/18/2020
Our favorite coffee we have received so far. Good flavor, not over powering. Smooth.
10/18/2020
Really love this for espresso. Nice and full bodied, with a smooth, rich chocolatey taste.
10/12/2020
Liked the brightness. Good morning brew
10/10/2020
Going the wrong direction. Want more fruit, less chocolate flavors.
10/3/2020
A straightforward blend with limited/ specific brew methods to make the coffee shine- initial cupping and brewing a pour over batch gave soft aromas of caramel and chocolate, and upon tasting found the same notes with a light touch of acidity. Pulling espresso, however, brought out a full-bodied shot with an extremely pleasant, nutty finish.
There isn't much to discover with this roast when brewing with pour over/ filtered coffee. The taste in the cup is a slightly pale mirror of the aromas, which are all pleasant but nothing to spring for. Pulling espresso (and possibly french press) is where this roast shines, concentrating the flavors and bringing out subtle notes previously lost.

10/2/2020
Left caulk aftertaste. Too bold a flavor perhaps. Would not drink again. But not the most horrible coffee we have had.
9/29/2020
I don't enjoy warm flavors, I like to stick to citrusy and fruity beans as I primarily drink my coffee iced
9/29/2020
really enjoyed this!
9/23/2020
Simple, solid, coffee.
9/22/2020
I loved this coffee and it's hard to believe but I just finished this bag. I I buy whole bean and grind every morning using a blade grinder. I grew in an automobile drip. Best part of my morning.
9/20/2020
Favorite so far
9/17/2020
Good daily coffee. Not too strong but has enough flavor. Would prefer something with a bit more sweet taste.
9/15/2020
mild taste VERY good! Highly recommend!
9/15/2020
so rich! so good!
9/14/2020
Nothing fancy here. Well-balanced, nutty coffee great for breakfast.
9/9/2020
This is good easy drinking. Pretty smooth finish.
9/8/2020
Really like this! A smooth low acid coffee abundant with toasted cereal tasting notes. Mmmm
9/8/2020
Very Smooth with hints of chocolate.
9/5/2020
Very smooth, slightly sweet. Enjoyed this very much.
9/5/2020
It's alright. A little dry for my taste.
8/30/2020
Not our favorite. Flavor notes were a bit heavy.
8/26/2020
Haven’t even tasted it yet just peeved about shipping. They printed the label so it would say “shipped” but didn’t actually ship it for a few days so it was way late.
8/21/2020
I loved this!
8/21/2020
This may have been my favorite yet. I was making espressos with it and was never disappointed.
8/14/2020
AMAZING ESPRESSO
8/13/2020
Much more in line with the kind of coffee I lean towards. Made a latte with this coffee this morning and it was like drinking a cup of hot chocolate! The chocolate and caramel really came through
8/11/2020
At first I thought it was a good coffee but maybe t a bit sweet for me but it grew on me over the past few weeks as I started to appreciate the balancing acidity. I quite enjoyed this one.
8/9/2020
Too much chocolate flavor
8/9/2020
Wow, I love this coffee! That first sip was such a pleasant surprise *chef's kiss*. It's light, but still has plenty of flavor coming through. I'm so happy to received this one!
8/7/2020
Was able to get a good cup of coffee using a French Press, a Clever Dripper and a V60. Although there is a taste of baking chocolate and a sweet aftertaste of caramel, I found an overwhelming nutty taste to the cup. Definitely didn't ruin the coffee, but I would have liked a bit less of a nutty flavor.
8/6/2020
Really good with aeropress!
8/6/2020
A great, light flavor with lots of depth. I love it.
8/5/2020
Not bold or distinct enough flavor
8/1/2020
so chocolatey!!! I loved it!
7/21/2020
A bit more mild then we would like.
7/18/2020
Incredible!
7/18/2020
Just ok. Flavors are fine but kind of bland, just an average cup of coffee.
7/17/2020
Seemed like a good style of coffee for me, and it was decent but for some reason I was experiencing some bitterness and didn't enjoy it quite as much as the previous selections.
7/16/2020
A bit to acidic for my taste. Still worth drinking . But for the price I can definatly find something I enjoy more
7/14/2020
I feel like this needs milk to be drinkable.
7/14/2020
Very good! Good wake up coffee. Wouldn't mind trying something darker in the future.
7/14/2020
This has been the best roast so far. Absolutely outstanding.
7/12/2020
This was good, especially with my flat burr grinder
7/7/2020
Loved it.
7/5/2020
So far this coffee has been my favorite.
7/3/2020
Not a fan. Boring, bland and uninteresting.
7/2/2020
Wasn’t a big fan but can’t put my finger on it. The aroma wasn’t very appealing either.
7/2/2020
no complaints! easy to drink, smells great and im enjoying it black.
6/28/2020
It was good, though I didn't like it as much as the Rwandan roast. To me it was less distinctive, more muddied. Question, what is the typical time between roast and delivery?
One coffee that I tried via another coffee delivery service and loved was Colombia El Eucalipto by Broadcast Coffee.
Thank you!

Really tasty and vibrant blend of flavors. The smell was a pleasant surprise every time I opened the bag and the bright packaging matched the friendly taste of the coffee. Lovely selection!
6/25/2020
One of my absolute favorites
6/22/2020
Really good espresso
6/22/2020
Our favorite one so far that we've tried. No bitterness at all and very smooth. We liked the chocolate and caramel notes.
6/22/2020
Thanks so much for the coffee! This one was pretty good, a little more bland than the previous coffee. I was wondering, would it be possible to curate a coffee the next round more geared towards making cold brew? I have been using a french press to make cold brew, and it would really cool if there was a roast designed for it. Also if there are any African-American-owned roasters I would really appreciate being able to support them. Thanks!
6/22/2020
I liked this one! Balanced and tasty. I usually prefer to drink coffee black, but this one needed some milk to help bring out the flavors.
6/18/2020
Nothing special here. Would just describe it as "coffee." There's nothing offensive tasting either which is good though.
6/18/2020
This coffee is a true medium in every sense of the word. Flavor, roast, and acidity. When you first smell the fresh ground beans you get a really rich fragrance of toffee. When brewed that flavor remains the highlight but is coupled with the taste of chocolate as well. There is only very subtle sweetness, which helps carry the bitter aftertaste and heavier body effectively. Overall a perfect cup of coffee for anyone.
6/17/2020
Balanced but a bit bland. Makes good lattes but is boring black.
6/16/2020
Didn't care for the 'after taste' of this one.
6/14/2020
Pleasant as a latte. Especially good with peppermint!!
6/12/2020
Ground using a blade grinder, brewed in a drip and k cup. Liked it!
6/10/2020
Nothing really stands out about this coffee for me.
6/10/2020
A little two week in coffee flavor for our taste.
6/8/2020
Excellent taste!
6/7/2020
Mild, smooth, not too bitter .
6/7/2020
Good. But a little bit too dark for me.
6/5/2020
Overall, it was good coffee. Liked it slightly less than the Fast Track blend from Good Folks as it wasn't quite as rich, creamy, or full-bodied.
6/1/2020
Mellow and chill.
5/30/2020
Smooth cup of coffee. I love this one in the morning and afternoon.
5/26/2020
Pretty good, again not “mind blowing” but as good as the last and one I’d buy again.
That said, mr curator, please stop with the delays between coffees. I waited 8 days between shipments for the last one (unacceptable on a “subscription” model) and now despite changing from a 7 to a 6 day plan, I’ll be waiting 8 days again with next order not expected to arrive until Tuesday.

5/24/2020
Well balanced
5/20/2020
Made really yummy lattes, especially iced. I found that it needed a coarser grind to flow smoothly through my bottomless portafilter, but flavor was ideal. Looking forward to continue exploring new flavors, but this one was definitely a hit.
5/18/2020
a smooth & tasty brew. No complaints! I loved it.
5/16/2020
Very nice blend. Hit all the creamy tones I associate with chocolates and carmels. Perfect for telecommute mornings
5/15/2020
Balanced, smooth
5/15/2020
A little more interesting than Good Folks, but still not quite bold enough for me. Could go a little darker, bolder, and more robust with the selections.
5/14/2020
Favorite so far
5/13/2020
Delicious! Would love this again.
5/13/2020
The medium roast I have been looking for. Nuttiness through and through, really good.
5/12/2020
I found this coffee better with milk. Brewed as pour over and drip, the milk helps to bring out the chocolate tasting accents. Without milk, the flavor was less memorable than other blends that I've brewed.
Note: I order the ground coffee

5/8/2020
I think this is a really nice blend although it took a couple of tries to get the grind right and timing right. I found that a finer grind (~8 in my Encore) and a slightly shorter steep time in the Aeropress gave me a nice smooth rounded flavor. It's a good coffee but I didn't find it distinctive enough to stand out from a crowd.
4/30/2020
Bold flavor but still smooth
4/28/2020
Liked it, but was not "wowed" by it.
4/27/2020
Delicious and smooth. Rich.
4/25/2020
Good, tasted the chocolate, nutty and earthier flavor but for the flavor a bit light. Would have liked a darker roast to go with the flavor.
4/25/2020
My favorite so far from mistobox. Full bodied even in large milk drinks. Notes of caramel and light chocolate. hints of berries at the end.
18.75g in 48g out in 30 seconds. No bitterness good solid flavor.
18.75g in 48g out in 30 seconds. No bitterness good solid flavor.
4/23/2020
This was tasty and never gonna turn down a good coffee. That said, I'm more of a third wave espresso guy, if I'm using the terminology correctly. I prefer more brightness and acidity than this blend, especially because I drink cortados and the milk certainly tamps the brightness. Thanks!
4/22/2020
Acidic undertones..Least favorite to date.
4/22/2020
Did not like the after taste
4/18/2020
This was the best coffee I have ever had. You're a coffee god.
4/10/2020
Seems a little bitter to me.
4/5/2020
Pretty good but a little too acidic. Not too strong of a flavor. Think I prefer bolder coffees.
3/24/2020
Pretty good but a little too acidic. Not too strong of a flavor. Think I prefer bolder coffees.
3/24/2020
loved this one
3/23/2020
Very smooth, good chocolate note, minimal bitterness, longer pull (35-36 sec pull, 18.5g 5sec pre-infusion)
3/12/2020
Very good all around. Extremely full with minimal bitter aftertaste.
3/11/2020
Did not enjoy this coffee, could not seem to find the right combination of creamer or sugar to improve the taste
3/11/2020
really good
2/26/2020
Well roasted but not our normal preference as we tend to like the more fruitier notes.
2/25/2020
This was my favorite so far! More like this one!
2/19/2020
Great!
1/31/2020
Some days it was awesome, but it easily leaned towards a little more bitter than I like if I was off on the amount of half and half. On most days it was great, though!
1/31/2020
This needed a shorter shot time than I would have thought given the roast. After adjusting the grind, I found the sweet spot (literally) at 23 seconds with a 1:1.5 ratio. Anything longer than that and I would loose the caramel notes.
1/15/2020
This was actually pretty good. A little bolder than others sent.
12/18/2019
Loved, loved. loved.
12/15/2019
Too Bland for my taste
12/15/2019
This was one of the better tasting coffees I've received on Mistobox. I really enjoyed this one. Great pick!
12/14/2019
Possibly the absolute best beans ever.
12/13/2019
Solid coffee. A bit too light for my taste.
12/13/2019
Subtle nuttiness on the finish. Very middle of the road flavor. Not bad but nothing extraordinary. We prefer more complexity in our roasts.
12/9/2019
boring flavor
12/8/2019
Very well balanced. Reminded me that good coffee doesn't have to be weird.
12/7/2019
One of my favorite coffees I've ever tried.
12/4/2019
A good cup of joe. I enjoyed how the coffee lent itself to adding my preferred creamer. Good body. Woodsy.
12/4/2019
Easy drinking, earthy tones, would probably drink again
12/1/2019
This might just be the best coffee I’ve ever had. If not, it’s a really really good one. Balanced flavor. Not burnt tasting or too nutty. Really really yummy.
11/30/2019
Liked this Huck coffee a lot.
11/27/2019
Pretty good espresso, lacking a bit of depth compared to the Orion.
11/24/2019
Very tasty right up my ally flavor wise
11/19/2019
Not a fan. A bit too acidic/tangy tasting for my liking.
11/12/2019
Good but I think I would prefer something lighter
11/3/2019
Meh. This coffee didn't "stand out" to me. It's a little watery, the flavor notes aren't highly perceptible. It's an ok coffee. Not bad, but nothing to write home about.
10/31/2019
i liked this one! my husband would like a smoother not as full bodied but i enjoyed it.
10/29/2019
Excellent and balanced coffee. Dark but not overpowering.
10/27/2019
Excellent flavor for espresso, one of my favorites.
10/26/2019
Solid bag of coffee. Easily consumed and smooth.
10/24/2019
Nice rich and smooth flavor, just as described on bag.
10/24/2019
Good flavor profile - a little subtler and lighter than I usually prefer, but it was an easy drinker.
10/9/2019
It was fantastic! I'm looking for a bit more variety in my flavors, though, I'd like some stuff that isn't chocolate or nutty, if possible!
9/28/2019
Love the undertones. Just a tad weak.
9/28/2019
My favorite thus far!
9/21/2019
Really enjoyed this coffee's balance of flavors. The chocolate really came through especially with the finish. The caramel added a good amount of sweetness.
9/21/2019
I found the flavor to be a little too light-flat-watery
9/16/2019
One note, kinda plain, espresso was well rounded but not extrodaniry
9/8/2019
It wasn’t awful but just to bland for me
9/1/2019
Loved it!
9/1/2019
A competent coffee that aims for traditional flavors associated with dark roast on a medium level. The balance is pretty much all chocolate and roasted nuts with no nuance. The caramel at times for unknown reasons left a sour note as temperature dropped. All around it is a medium roast trying to mask flavors as a dark roast. I’d rather drink a dark roast (which I don’t usually enjoy).
8/25/2019
good pour, but not as memorable or distinctive as I would hope
7/31/2019
Chocolate notes but would like something a little lighter
7/27/2019
Hints of chocolate but smooth and creamy with caramel notes, brought out by a splash of half and half. Bright blend
7/2/2019
Just a smidge bitter. Perhaps the roast was a little off. Not my favorite but o.k. with cream.
7/1/2019
Nice espresso blend. Just as the description describes.
6/25/2019
Excellent, love it
6/23/2019
Very good, sweet and complex
6/14/2019
Love it!
6/12/2019
Excellent blend. Love the rich flavor with chocolate and caramel notes.
6/1/2019
Flavors were too subtle, and the coffee lacked body.
6/1/2019
Loving this. 18g, 35ml. served as a gibraltar. Sweet, balanced espresso goodness.
3/21/2019
Loved this one! I tend to enjoy anything Huckleberry does! They are alway solid!
3/1/2019
I’m not very good at describing coffee. This wasn’t my favorite but not sure why. Maybe it’s too dark or too acidic. It’s not as smooth as I like.
2/16/2019
Fantastic Coffee! Loved the caramel notes. It makes for a great espresso as well
2/4/2019
I found this coffee to be true to its description. It was well-balanced with a stronger sense of chocolate than caramel, but still a very nice flavor to start my day. I do prefer a lighter roast this time of year. I very much look forward to my next shipment.
10/23/2018
This one is fantastic, I don't think I've had one this good since Metric Coffee. It is super well balanced, awesome flavor, and it's not overpowering. I would buy this again.
8/9/2018
Loved the full-bodied flavor and the hint of chocolate. Very easy drinking cup.
7/12/2018
Pulled a little dark for my liking. Tasted better on milk drinks than it did straight
7/3/2018
good flavor
5/27/2018
A good kind of boring. Not exactly bland, but subtle enough to have black
5/23/2018
Great well-balanced coffee. Love the flavor.
5/7/2018
Mellow, smooth flavor. Almost sweet, reminiscent of milk chocolate.
4/27/2018
I liked this a lot
4/9/2018
Way to dark for pour overs / drip.
3/25/2018
I really enjoyed it! Very bright and sweet
2/27/2018
a little empty, would prefer something richer in flavor
2/4/2018
Coffee was okay. Still trying to find that acidity I like.
1/29/2018
Good but a little more boring than the last one. For the last one I could really taste the blueberry - but of course this is a different type of coffee.
1/11/2018
I think for the next coffee can we have it a little less chocolaty? All three that you have selected are pretty chocolaty. We really Guatemalan coffee, usually pretty light roast. Ruby is our favorite roastery.
12/12/2017
Fine to good. I changed my coffee to water ratio slightly (fixed it, really) and it made a big difference.
12/4/2017
I'll try to break this down into a few categories: Branding, Roast, Taste.
Branding: 4 out of 5
- Clean and bright! Catchy business name and a cool name for a blend.
Roast Quality: 3 out of 5
- Found a few quakers and a little unevenness in the roast. This could be because of the blend.
Taste: 2 out of 5
- We felt that the Blue Orchid Blend didn't have a "thing" to call its own. No distinguishable aspect of the blend was able to shine through. Perhaps this is due to the roast or the beans chosen for the blend. Maybe this coffee was a little too "well-rounded" to be considered unique.

11/15/2017
It wasn't bad but wasn't amazing. Probably a little darker than I prefer. But my husband liked it a lot.
9/19/2017
a little darker than i expected
9/5/2017
Loved this one! It smells amazing and tastes fantastic! It's mellow but not meek. It's got great flavor! I am usually a sugar in my coffee kind of girl and I didn't even need sugar for this one. So good!
7/24/2017
DELICIOUS !!!
7/24/2017
Definitely am able to pick up on some chocolaty velvety notes in this coffee. Delicious pulling shots with this coffee but handles the pour over game as well.
7/16/2017
It was alright. nothing interesting.
6/24/2017
Smooth, full bodied coffee.
6/22/2017
Very flavorful cup. Lighter than I expected but still a good chocolate sweet taste.
5/23/2017
This is one had my ideal balance of flavors and rich body.
4/26/2017
Wasn't great as espresso, but was fine as filter coffee. I preferred it on v60 vs Chemex as some of the oils lost in the Chemex filter helped the mouthfeel, in my opinion.
4/20/2017
Nice chocolate notes and a dry finish
4/9/2017
Amazing. The best I've recieved so far.
3/30/2017
Well balanced coffee but is a more in the medium roast range. Probably would be a great espresso, but I mainly do manual brewing so lighter roasts "pop" more.
3/22/2017
Nice full body. Bold but round in flavor. Nothing crazy but definitely well balanced and I think this is a blend that meets the desires of the average American coffee drinker. I consider this a blend well done.
3/16/2017
Made great espresso. French press was just ok.
3/7/2017
Full bodied yet light. Really like
1/25/2017
We found this coffee to be better suited to a pour over brew, instead of our usual French press brewing method of choice. It was light and easy on the palette, yet lacked depth and full flavor to be more than mediocre. We did taste hints of caramel, but not wowed by this particular roast.
12/30/2016
Good body, with silky feel.

Smooth and mellow. Perfect for todays rainy day. Adds a nice bit of diversity to our list of favorites so far.

Balanced. Strong chocolate tone.

Great cup of coffee. Very well balanced while still able to taste the subtleties and flavors of the beans. Earthy, chocolate, nutty

This one slowly grew on me. At first, I thought it a little bland, although slightly improved in French press. But over time the beans mellowed a little more and I'm getting a nice caramely cup.

Brews well. All round good balance and long lasting flavor. Not my favorite, but still a good roast.
7/26/2016
light and nutty
7/25/2016
Very mild, slightly sweet
7/17/2016

Best one yet! I really love this coffee and I must have more!

Just okay as a cold brew. Have yet to try it V60 or aeropress.

Pretty average. Not bad, not amazing.

Kind of bland but well balanced.

Super Good Coffee. My favorite so far!
5/6/2016
Tried a few different methods: Chemex, french press, but none of them seemed able to pull out the flavors promised.

Delicious! Very tasty!

Can't say that we cared for this one too much. I actually thought it tasted slightly burnt.
4/19/2016
Brewing via French Press was the perfect suggestion. It was crazy how much the flavor changed. Very good coffee.
4/15/2016
The grind was a little more dense than other coffees which made preparing the espresso a little tougher, but when my shots were on, the caramel and chocolate notes prevailed. I would buy this again.
4/14/2016
I made this using a pour over method as I don't have a french press or espresso machine. Overall a decent cup of coffee, bold with a lot of flavor.
4/13/2016
This was a good cup of coffee. Pretty typical though, nothing spectacular about it, but it was a nice coffee to have to start my day.
4/5/2016
Too weak for me
4/4/2016
This is a great coffee. I was a little pensive because the label says it's an "espresso" roast and to use a "little cream", which isn't really my style any more. It's surprisingly balanced for these notes on the package. I've done an Aeropress 16g coffee :: 240g water..and Hario V60 30g :: 480g water...both brew up quite nicely.

Good all around coffee. Brighter than I expected but that was welcomed. Otherwise true to its description.
3/18/2016
I really enjoyed this bean...bright and citrus yet had underlying caramel and chocolate nuances, excellent mouth feel and aftertaste.
3/18/2016
I made it with my Aeropress as double espresso. It was so-so as an espresso but OK when I used it for Americano.
3/16/2016
A fine cup, but not for me. Chalky maybe?
3/13/2016
Great coffee. I did however notice it would cause the milk in my latte to go flat, or lose its volume/head.....never had a problem with that before
2/26/2016
Really enjoyed this!
2/25/2016
Freaking amazing. Love pretty much everything about these beans.
2/11/2016
Very well balanced and no bitterness
2/7/2016
was disappointed with this coffee. Sorry did not care for his one.
1/21/2016
toasty, cocoa flavor but a bit acidic
1/17/2016
It's really good, smooth. I like the caramel notes.
1/16/2016
Excellent! Very balanced, sweet and chocolaty. I am also picking up some kind of a sweet spice note. I really enjoyed it as espresso with just a little steamed milk! *pulled from a La Pavoni Romantica
12/12/2015
Of the three I received, this is my favorite.
12/8/2015
Nice cup of coffee. Still doesn't beat Cleavon Little Topeca, but I I like it!
10/24/2015
Wonderful!!!
10/23/2015
I really like this blend by Huckleberry roasters. It is very rich and complex. Definitely best brewed strongly or as expresso.
10/21/2015
Delicious! Perfect in every way! From the blend, to the roasting, to the packaging. I love the resealable bag and the roasting date. My new favorite espresso.
