Solid good easy drinking French press
9/16/2022
It smells great but the flavor seems light. It grinds well but I’m not enjoying this one as much.

standard
9/13/2022
Perfect balance, not bitter at all, very smooth
9/2/2022
Flavor profile was spot on. Liked every cup
9/1/2022
It was a solid coffee, bitterness was reduced with oat milk and a coarser grind. Overall pretty good.

Can taste the coffee flavor but doesn’t seem too bitter
8/20/2022
just not for me
8/14/2022

7/13/2022
Not my favorite. To dark
7/3/2022
Pretty good, better warm. Crisp and nutty.
6/25/2022
Best coffee tasted in awhile. Love it.
4/27/2022
Great but the darkness was not my style
3/27/2022
I know that Red Rooster is a VERY light roaster (they are relatively local to me), so I was hopeful that since it was a medium dark by their standards it would be my 'normal' light roast. It was definitely better than a previous light roast from RR, but the darker notes (the caramel and chocolate) were still hard to discern.

100% my new daily coffee
12/9/2021
Not as full-bodied as I like...merely OK
10/29/2021
Loved the medium dark blend. Always wanting something in the middle of medium and dark and this was it!
10/22/2021
It’s good, but a little nutty.
It definitely has a strong, bold flavor.
I love the packaging!

Maybe it was just the somewhat darker roast but didn't care too much for this one. Definitely picked up on the chocolate notes.
Brewed in the Ratio 8 coffee maker. 55g beans, medium grind (22/40 - Baratza Encore). 1.2L of water.

This is the kind of coffee I'm always looking for. It has bold flavor without being to dark.
5/7/2021
It tasted fresh, but something about the flavor profile both me and my wife did not just Love.
4/16/2021
aeropress: kind of..boring(?) not as flavorful, not that rich.
3/27/2021
This was just ok. Bitter earthy. Had a burnt aftertaste that lingers. Like burnt Carmel but not in a nice way.
3/24/2021
Have only used for espresso so far. I'm not getting the chocolate or the caramel flavors, it's very bitter (but not in such a way where I brewed incorrectly). I'm excited to try this as a pour over or cold brew. It goes well with milk. I think maybe I like my coffee a liiiiittle bit brighter. We'll have to see!

This coffee tastes delicious. Well balanced.

9/13/2020
I found this a little weak in taste
9/8/2020
A bit on the sour/acidic side.
9/7/2020
This was a really good coffee. It was smooth and easy to drink with good flavors. However, there was a strange aftertaste that I didn't enjoy that much.
8/31/2020
Very smooth, no unpleasant aftertaste
8/28/2020
Seems somewhat bitter to my untrained pallette.
8/16/2020
Great cup of Coffee, smooth and mellow while also complex

This was one of my favorite coffees so far. It had an interesting sweet, caramel taste, no bitter notes.
8/4/2020
Not as smooth as I hoped
7/29/2020
Second only to the daytripper so far of the coffees we have received
7/28/2020
A standard diner blend. Not memorable, not terrible.
7/28/2020
One of my favorites that 've gotten.
7/27/2020
A delicious full-bodied coffee with the caramel notes coming in strong! It also got to us within one day of roasting which was unbelievable
7/25/2020
This was pretty good, but not amazing in espresso
7/19/2020
Perfect!
7/18/2020
loved this one
7/9/2020
I like the chocolat-ey flavor, but I would like more stronger, thicker taste. I can't taste the caramel as much.
