Don't like it, and Leah did not either. Tastes burnt. Hard to dial in.

I bought these beans for the second time when I visited Mela. I have a proper espresso machine now and, holy cow!, there is SOOO much more strawberry as a proper espresso. Really fun to play around with different profiles and ratios to bring out different flavors.

This has a nice chocolate nuttiness with a bit of acidity. My guest loved it enough to ask for a second cup :). The only thing that I didn't love was the metallic taste in the back of the throat for an espresso- good thing we were drinking it as a cappuccino.

Just simply delicious. The perfect roast.

Got this to make milk drinks for visiting family and it was a hit. Chocolate and hazelnut notes are spot on. Like others, strawberry flavor was subtle, if present at all. But I still enjoyed it. Would get again.

I used this coffee for lattes. It had a sweet note to it, but it was hard to get a good consistent flavor from it. More often than not it was bland.

Not a fan of Espresso roasts it seems.

Nice mild espresso!

More subtle flavors than the Sermon espresso prior to it. But nicely balanced and produced consistently quality shots.

Overall, this coffee was decent, and I will definitely finish the bag, but there was just something missing. This was a little too nutty-tasting for me. It wasn't bitter by any means, and it surely wasn't sweet enough. I was hoping the strawberry flavor would come out better, as it says on the bag, but it never quite came out. Good coffee, but not excellent.

I like this less than the first coffee. It came across as more bitter both as a pour over and an espresso. I would prefer something more smooth, even more so than the first coffee. Aside from the strength of the coffee, I preferred the flavor of the first as well.

Really loved this brew. I liked how it was a very versatile coffee. I definitely got the hazelnut flavor with a nice rich dark cocoa undertone. Didn't pick up on the fruit much but the coffee definitely held its own.

This is my favorite daily coffee. The flavor is rich but not overwhelmed by roast. Smooth and sweet.

Perfect Espresso, I wanted something light roasted so that the flavor wasn't burnt. The coffee has great flavor. I will add this to my order every time.
