Big fan of this one! Loved the richness of it

I didn’t care for this coffee at all. It has what I will describe as an almost floral scent and taste. The earth tones really come through which I don’t care for. I like a darker roast with chocolate and nut overtones. This has none of that.

Probably more like a 3.5 compared to others, but delicious. Great crema, nutty and robust.

One of my favorites. Bold, smooth, dark coffee as it should be.

A really good dark roast, not too burny or acidic.

I am always so hesitant with Sumatran coffees because for me, they're either a big hit or a big miss. When they're a hit, they are my absolute favorite though, so I gave this a shot and added it to my queue.
What a huge hit! I love this. It's rich, it's flavorful, it's just slightly funky in the best way. I'm so glad I tried this.

Nice. Unfortunately have had better Sumatra's, and I despise that roaster and will never purchase anything from them.

Very enjoyable! Toffee, caramel, cherry, a slight oakiness and dankness as well. I really enjoyed this bean, especially in the French press.

Very well-rounded and reliable as a dark roast.

Not a fan of Sumatra blends

Loved it.

It’s fantastic great body.

Definitely a clean, dark roast in the direction of what I like, but it's so simple as to be almost flavorless. I didn't dislike it, but I wouldn't go out of my way to order it again.
3/16/2023
I liked the flavor profile mostly, though I think I'd prefer a slightly darker roast.
3/12/2023
It did not have a taste like coffee

Love this coffe.

Nice, robust flavor
12/19/2022
Doesn't have a fully dark roast flavor. Still a bitter light taste to it. We were sent this a second time even though we noted we didn't like it the first time.
11/19/2022
Loved it! Rich, dark, and intense in the best way possible. Could totally taste the earthy notes - very cool!
11/10/2022
This was the best so far.
5/23/2022
Wonderful coffee. Strong aromatic flavor, and very smooth. It gets better every day.
5/12/2022
This is so rich and nutty, we really enjoyed it.
3/16/2022
This is a very rich and smooth cup with a bit of a roasty taste.
1/19/2022
nice rich flavor but I wanted a darker (more bitter) taste
1/10/2022
Really liked this coffee. I prefer non-acid coffee, and this didn't have acidity. It was also roasted just right, in my opinion: dark, but not at all burned.
1/1/2022
didn't like
1/1/2022
The earthy notes definitely came through, but I wasn't a big fan of them. I'm typically exclusively a black coffee drinker, but I sometimes added a little milk to this one to tame the earthiness a bit. The bakers chocolate came through, but only in the aftertaste for me. Brewed with a French press.

Great! Rich and no hint of being burned.
4/14/2021
Great coffee with nice dark and subtle brighter notes. Definitely enjoy drinking this.
10/7/2020
I liked this coffee very much. Good test, aroma, grind size and all.
7/29/2020
Still had a hint of burnt but not as bad as others, mild in flavor but drinkable.
7/27/2020
This coffee smells great! It might be too dark for me. The coffee has this aftertaste that’s a bit stale. I taste the bakers chocolate but I don’t like it. I made this in my aeropress, I’ll try a different method.
7/22/2020
Nice, deep, oily coffee. Robust. Full-flavored. Yummy.
