Coffee has a smooth finish but does not pack a punch in the flavor dept. Made in a regular drip coffee maker.

I usually don't love French Roasts but this is really smooth with out the bite.

Not my favorite. Beans clogged up my bur grinder.
11/30/2024
Not enough 'mouthful' feeling.
11/17/2024
Not fruit at all. Somewhat bitter. Needs a medium course grind
11/5/2024

Really nice!

This coffee was more bitter than others I’ve tried. The dark chocolate and caramel flavors did not come through at all. This one is not for me.
10/7/2024
Good coffee
10/4/2024
Great tasting coffee, nice crema, easy to dial in. Docked a star sadly because its packaging was a little too flimsy.
10/1/2024
So far, tastes like dirt. I think I don’t like french roasts.
9/1/2024
Favorite so far, correct amount of rich flavor while still being smooth. Doesn’t have any acidity in the flavor
7/20/2024
Not that special
7/15/2024
super bitter and typical
6/7/2024
Solid cup of coffee, complete full bodied drink
5/23/2024
Not very flavorful
5/5/2024
Did not like it. I could not get it to taste good with either poor over or esspresso. I think it was over roasted even for french roast.
4/13/2024
It's good. It's a little too dark which inspired me to try medium espresso roasts.
4/12/2024
Tastes burnt, I'm not a fan of French roast
2/2/2024
Too much acidity for my taste, a bit thin tasting
1/21/2024
very nice. A bit too rich for me.
1/16/2024
I really liked the flavor of this one and thought the boldness of it was almost enough
11/4/2023
This coffee was really really bad. Bitter, shiny. We were unable to even drink it. Gave it to our son who said YUCK and just saved it to show a coworker the beans and why it tastes so bad.
10/19/2023
Favorite so far
10/7/2023
Yummy, rich, smooth. Great for cold brew and hot brew.
7/21/2023
Great!
7/13/2023
Nice aroma, deep flavor.
6/22/2023
good crema, flavor a bit mile
6/21/2023
Didn't like the espresso or latte. However with flavoring in the latte was good.
6/14/2023
Tastes like medium roast - didn't taste dark or rich to me
4/30/2023
very bland overall. the bag did come open so that might have reduced the freshness but it was a below average french roast that almost had a burnt flavor rather than a rich or other flavor that would be expected based on the profile.
4/18/2023
Very good.
4/1/2023
Both my husband and I like this one.
3/20/2023
The coffee was really good! I almost took a star off tho because it came ripped with beans spilled all over.
3/16/2023
it was okay. not as full bodied as the others.
3/1/2023
It is a rich, full-bodied coffee. It is perfectly roasted. It is one of my favorite coffees of all time.
2/26/2023
Coffee was a little bitter and not oily enough for me. Packaging came damaged twice and beans spilled everywhere. A little more acidic that I was expecting, felt more like a medium roast than a darker roast. Overall OK but not something I'd order again. More dark, rich, robust, and oily for me please.
2/24/2023
It's a really great dark roast, with bold flavor without the bitterness that usually drives me to a more mid roast coffee.
2/1/2023
Nothing really stood out to me
1/25/2023
I can't tell the difference between this coffee and the Costco Columbian Supremo I usually drink. I like it, it is good just not better than Costco.
1/18/2023
I’m not a French roast fan. Have tried several but can’t seem to find any I really like. Don’t send any more FR pls.
1/8/2023
Dark, roasty, delicious. I would get this again.
1/3/2023
Liked this one alot
12/16/2022
This was almost too smooth tasting. I didn't have the sharpness of a real dark coffee.
12/14/2022
This is amazing! I really taste the chocolate in this one. I also like the richness.
12/13/2022
Amazing coffee, rich and full bodied. A little nutty, very balanced coffee that tastes like coffee in a french press
12/10/2022
Nice round chocolate flavor
12/4/2022
Just okay.
11/30/2022
Loved this !! So rich but smooth
11/27/2022
Not bad but really more of a medium roast with a medium body.
11/17/2022
Love it! Just what I like in a morning coffee.
11/15/2022
This coffee was too dark of a roast for my liking.I prefer a light roast
11/8/2022
Very good and you can definitely taste the chocolate notes.
10/18/2022
Did not taste like a dark roast to me.
10/15/2022
