Great espresso

Roast level and taste profile both darker than the notes make it seem. Personally, would refer to this as medium-dark. Had to run quick espresso to get sweetness from blend.
Milk drinks were the go to in order to cut the bitterness in the roast. Was never able to cut away an acrid aftertaste.

Less notes, coffee more clumpy
12/3/2024
Notes of chocolate, honey, and ghram cracker. Very easy to dial in. Better as straight espresso or with milk than in long blacks or with water. Reminds me of Honey Ghram cereal with notes of cinnamon & sugar.

This Coffee was very well balanced all the way to the last bean :)
10/19/2024
once dialed in, you could taste the notes perfectly.
Was delish :)

Tasted great as espresso which is all I drink
6/11/2024
Enjoyable as straight. Good body. Not terribly complex or acidic.
4/13/2024
The crema was super unique and had almost a tiger striped appearance, and the flavor notes were as advertised!! Great for iced lattes!
2/5/2024
This espresso is so smooth and balanced. Loved it!
1/21/2024
Not as sweet as the name implies but still excellent flavor as an espresso. I didn't brew as aeropress or pour over.
1/12/2024
Great cup. Really enjoyed this bag.
1/2/2024
Super chocolaty, great
11/29/2023
Did not appreciate the balance
11/9/2023
* 17.2g dose and coarser grind. (Lower than usual.)
* Smaller beans and darker roast.

Honestly one of the best espressos I’ve ever had. Quality!
9/29/2023
It was good. Nice flavor
8/11/2023
Really enjoyed this espresso. Easy to pull on standard machines/grinders with good results.
6/15/2023
I like the taste. It has a hint of sweetness. One of the best so far.
5/23/2023
A new favorite! Such a smooth, creamy cup!
5/22/2023
These beans lean towards the Light-Medium side which was good, but slightly too light a roast for my preference.
4/3/2023
Loved the tasting notes. Made for a clean espresso
12/28/2022
this one is not doing much for me. it's not that it's a bad coffee, it's just that there's nothing too distinct about it.
9/14/2022
Thought this was actually nice—have jumped between cups of coffee and espresso shots. Both tasted great, and love the packaging
8/22/2022
Too dark, bitter
7/7/2022
It was OK. Had a hard time getting the recipe right with this one.
4/9/2022
Good coffee, too blended for me, not as sweet as described
3/16/2022
Was hard to dial in for some reason. Tasted good when shots were good but good shots were rare.
1/28/2022
Loved the chocolate notes but the after taste thru me
Off.
Off.
1/10/2022
This is exactly what I want in a coffee! The profile, roast, deepness. Would love to find more similar to this.
1/5/2022
Really enjoy the forward-facing taste of the honey. Hit in our house. Second try was not as flavorful. Charred taste.
12/2/2021
excellent and well balanced
11/1/2021
Really very good! Solid overall flavor. The chocolate notes are good but wish I could coax the fruitier tones out that are described.
8/21/2021
Super bitter. Did not like.
8/12/2021
The amount of coffee in the back was not work the price. If this is what I get from Tony's I will be taking them off my lineup.
8/8/2021
muddy, burnt, too complex
7/20/2021
Perfect roast for my Breville espresso maker. Great flavor and excellent roast provided a nice shot for lattes, or just by itself
6/27/2021
Our favorite so far. Very creamy and smooth. Like a desert drink
6/15/2021
This was smooth and sweet and went great with milk. Will order again!
5/23/2021
Best ever
5/10/2021
I found that it tasted better after I ground it a little finer than I usually do for drip.
5/1/2021
This was too bitter for me. I tried brewing multiple ways with different amounts and it never tasted nearly as sweet as I expected it to be.
4/15/2021
Loved it!
4/14/2021
The milk chocolate notes were particularly noticeable. However, a perfect shot was not easily reproducible. I would probably rate this a 5 if I could get those milk chocolate notes every time.
4/4/2021
Pretty good, overall very well rounded bean juice.
3/23/2021
Quite a flat flavor, light chocolate. Smooth.
3/20/2021
Really great
3/16/2021
Great
3/14/2021
Meh.
3/13/2021
Tasted old and bitter
3/12/2021
Straightforward medium roast that works in and out of milk, can't go wrong.
3/12/2021
Delicious
3/9/2021
We simply loved this - excellent espresso!
3/5/2021
The sweetness came out. I used a combination of frothed 1/2 & 1/2 and fresh whole milk that enhanced the full body.
3/1/2021
Very weak and subtle, couldn’t really taste anything
2/21/2021
Great taste and good for capps and lattes. The crema from this bean is exceptional. My favorite from Mistobox so far.
2/17/2021
It's too bitter for my taste. I drink strong coffee 2 cups a day. Don't like the bitterness
2/13/2021
This everything an espresso should be! Very aromatic: smell of chocolate and nuts. This espresso is a very creamy smoot crema layer with smooth flavor profile with noticeable chocolate and light nutty flavor.
2/7/2021
This is my favorite coffee ever! Smooth, delicious, irresistible! I can't get enough of it
2/6/2021
I think I may just prefer lighter roasts and fruiter coffee. Easy to dial in, but not very exciting.
2/6/2021
Great flavor.
2/4/2021
It was a lot more acidic than we prefer and didn't have a rich enough coffee flavor when pulled in an espresso shot.
1/31/2021
Amazing. So delicious, perfect fruit-tinged sweetness, evenly balanced. One of the best Americanos I've ever had
1/29/2021
Bland, boring, a little bitter. Terrible coffee. Had two cups and threw the rest out.
1/28/2021
Great taste profile, good for a regular cup of coffee, not too exciting.
1/25/2021
A good coffee overall. Couldn't shake the hint of bitterness no matter how I adjusted it, with and without milk.
1/25/2021
The crema this espresso created was incredible
1/21/2021
This was great with milk.
1/18/2021
This was my first "artisan" or "high-end" coffee not directly from the grocery store and I have been very happy with it! Love the sweetness of the coffee without having to add anything!
1/18/2021
Liked the flavor of this, was fun trying espresso
1/8/2021
This is now my wife's favorite coffee. She enjoys the mouthfeel and weight as much as the balance between chocolate and roast. I was unable to taste due to COVID taking taste and smell from me temporarily, but it felt good to drink :)
1/7/2021
My personal favorite so far.
1/3/2021
I loved this. "Sweet and heavy-bodied" is right, I love how little acidity I tasted.
12/29/2020
Very tasty and strong. I expected a sweeter profile, but I loved it overall
12/29/2020
Loved it!
12/22/2020
Very good
12/16/2020
my favorite yet
12/11/2020
I have made this my standard espresso blend. It has a great crema (which I know is not popular these days, but my wife and I love it). It's sweet, and is very forgiving with over- and under extraction.
12/5/2020
Stronger than I would typically enjoy - maybe a bit on the bitter side.
Just want to make sure that I am getting an espresso grind - this bag said "Drip Coffee Grind"

Excellent espresso.. smooth, great flavor.. will add to my queue again!
11/20/2020
Yum! Good amount of darkness
11/20/2020
Not as robust as I hoped. Tasted nuttiness but the other notes never really came through
11/20/2020
Very dark and bold, but very smooth and with low acidity!
11/15/2020
Accurate to the tasting notes. Needs to be a little more bold to hold up to milk. Ultimately really good though.
11/11/2020
One of my faves!! Perfectly balanced!
11/6/2020
Nuttyness came across tasting like peanut butter.
10/26/2020
Great robust coffee with hints of honey. Not overly sweet though for the description.
10/21/2020
Pretty good, but not consistent in the taste. A higher dose may have helped. I run 18.5g normally, but 20g+ (as used in my final shot with this bag) yielded more taste. Makes a beautiful shot, but taste not so robust.
9/20/2020
Love this espresso.
9/1/2020
Loved the syrupy aspect, didn’t taste honey. Had a slightly higher acidity than I like. Still a very tasty coffee and great with milk.
8/9/2020
A little over-roasted/bitter.
