Deep, rich flavor, I enjoyed very much!
7/7/2025
Overall enjoyed this roast! Roast degree was slightly too dark for my preference (the beans appeared to have slight scorch marks). Pulled some great shots on our espresso machine with these.
7/3/2025
It's too dark and has very little interesting flavor. Not very pleasant to drink.
7/1/2025
A bit too dark and chocolatey and decadent for my taste. A good dark coffee but not what I am looking for.
7/1/2025
Too dark. Tasted burnt.

We like this! We are brewing this coffee pourover, and often adding vanilla creamer. I like that the coffee is not too acidic and my partner likes that the coffee's chocolate notes are very subtle. Overall it feels like a good choice for our morning cup, as it's simple but delicious.
6/11/2025
This one tasted burned to us for some reason. Not a huge fan, although we wish we were for the namesake of the coffee!
6/11/2025
Very good, light to medium just how I like it. The taste was delicious.
6/10/2025
Too simple
6/7/2025
Great sweetness and balance on this one. Fully developed without being overly bitter. Perfect for espresso.
5/30/2025
Very dark & oily. Tasted burnt
5/24/2025
Too dark
5/24/2025
This bag was a much darker, oilier roast than most of my previous selections. It smelled pretty fishy.
5/23/2025
Did not like
5/20/2025
Really really good
5/19/2025
Worst coffee I’ve had in the seven years as a subscriber. Starbucks-esque with the addition of a very obvious “stank” atop.
5/15/2025
Tasted stale and lacked depth. Seemed over roasted. Not a good cup
5/14/2025
Too burnt tasting.
5/8/2025
It’s okay. Don’t like that it barely has a smell. Tastes very much like chocolate. Bag’s tab to open broke, so it was very difficult to get open. Being from Georgia, it was a bit disappointing.
5/7/2025
Coffee was Rancid when it arrived.
4/30/2025
Great Coffee. Full, round flavor. Roasted perfectly, slight sheen on beans.Not a ton of depth, but very easy to drink.
4/29/2025
Didn’t like, too dark
4/22/2025
I had good coffee from them before, this is not one of them.
4/22/2025
Too dark for me
4/16/2025
Dis notike it, very bitter and burnt taste
4/11/2025
I’m a light roast subscriber… please don’t send me dark roast again and never send me coffee from this roaster again.
4/9/2025
Portion aside, the coffee was BAD. There was a burnt middle note in the tasting that read as Starbucks x Folgers collab.
4/6/2025
Really smooth and chocolaty. Easy drinker. Not super complex but not boring, wish the local places used this instead of whatever they buy
8/29/2024
Too bitter and too strong. We like the other coffees much better.
We've been getting too much from Portrait lately and it's not as good as ALMO or Centri or the other brands that you carry. I'd like to request that we don't get Portrait anymore.

May be a rancid bag but beans but this is a bad bag. Brightness only burnt coffee taste.
8/23/2023
Really good, loved the chocolate in it.
8/13/2023
Nutty
5/7/2023
It was a good coffee
9/2/2022
warm, loved the flavor, comforting
6/16/2022
Felt that while this was good, it wasn't exceptional like some of the others that I have tried. Excellent chocolate notes, though!
5/5/2022
Meh-- Not good. Almost fake tasting. A lot of hazelnut, but again, cloying, nothing else going on. Didn't feel nearly as quality as a lot of other stuff I've been into these days.
4/23/2022
Thought I'd like it better but wasn't my fav
4/18/2022
Very well balanced
3/22/2022
just tasted roasty.
2/3/2022
Overly chocolate
1/26/2022
It was good, but tasted a bit mild for us.
1/24/2022
They must have changed the origin to Honduras, The bag I had was from Guatemala.
Similar flavor profile as noted above. I would have bought it again.

Not a huge chocolate fan
1/24/2022
Execellent coffee. Very smooth and balanced. No harshness or bitterness.
1/23/2022
Ground extra fine for use in espresso machine. Lovely taste and have it sometimes twice a day even. Brew it as an americano and sometimes as a latte. Very delicious
1/22/2022
The beans smelled great but when I brewed them in a French press, the result was a strong and bitter flavor. I normally grind up 58-59 grams of beans for my French presses and even went down to 57g for the second French press this morning, but got the same result. Had to add almond milk to mellow it out.
1/20/2022
It’s definitely chocolatey but not a very interesting flavor profile. It’s very nice each morning but I prefer something brighter with more eccentric flavors.
1/20/2022
Delicious!
1/17/2022
I'd drink this again, great espresso nice grind
1/10/2022
It was just ok. It was smooth and you do taste the hints of chocolate and nuttiness, but it's very very subtle. Almost tasted more like a light roast rather than a medium roast or something with a little more body.
1/9/2022
love the coffee-thanks
1/9/2022
It was fine, no harshness, good mouthfeel, but no real distinct flavors
1/8/2022
This was not good. Very lightly roasted beans. There was barely any aroma after grind or flavor after brew. Tried several cups with various methods: press, pour-over, drip. One of the most flavorless coffees I’ve had in a while. It actually reminded me of watered down Folgers or something. I know wet washed beans are lighter-bodied but there was almost no body. I hope the next selected coffee is better. Really disappointing way to start the service. I would refrain from recommending this particular coffee to anyone aside from maybe the lovers of the lightest roast. Sorry to be so negative, I wanted to like it.
1/8/2022
Mild and smooooth
1/7/2022
Loved the finishing notes in this blend
1/5/2022
Complex and rich flavors. Good chocolate offset with a savory burn/bitterness
1/5/2022
Good flavor but not very rich.
1/5/2022
Coffee was good. Received the Honduras bean, not Guatemala.
1/3/2022
Good coffee great taste smelled divine out the bag.
1/2/2022
Not strong enough
1/2/2022
A bit thin, but good enough.
12/31/2021
A little dusty? Definitely got the chocolate notes. overall nice
12/27/2021
Big fan of Portrait
12/11/2021
Slightly more bitter than expected. Added a small batch of v floral Ethiopian to balance out nicely!
12/1/2021
Seemed to be darker in taste than the colors would lead me to believe. I found it to be often both sour and bitter at the same time. Tried varying temperature and grind size but still came out either too sour or bitter.
11/12/2021
It was okay and had a definite chocolate note
11/10/2021
Good coffee would get it again
11/9/2021
Didn't enjoy this one at all. It's too light for me.
10/24/2021
Delicious chocolates coffee!
9/26/2021
One of my favorites, perfect in everyway and very dessert-like.
8/24/2021
One of my favorite coffee.
8/24/2021
Even brewed strong it was still a bit thin in the flavor department.
8/10/2021
says my husband "damn, that's good coffee". Nice rounded flavor, no bitter after taste.
8/8/2021
Super good! Great in my V60 and Chemex. Works great in a 16:1 or 14:1 ratio. Definitely balanced and great cup!
8/2/2021
Like it
8/1/2021
Excellent as an espresso.
7/17/2021
Excellent. I really liked this one and I think am developing a taste for Guatemalan coffees. Brewing primarily with a pour over set up. Nice chocolatey flavor without being too sweet.
7/6/2021
Smooth with a noticeable chocolateyness.
6/29/2021
Great coffee. Please add more selections from Portrait Coffee.
6/26/2021
As the description suggests, well balanced with chocolate and nuttiness throughout and hints of cherry. A little on the weaker side, but still very solid.
