It has good, bold flavor and makes nice shots with thick crema. Just shy of 5 stars.

Pretty decent ESP 16
3/25/2025
Decent. Roasted on the darker side for my preference. Bean character not as prevalent due to higher roast profile.
10/22/2024
Equator are one of my favorites, this one is excellent.
6/24/2024
Extremely rich, light and creamy
2/7/2024
Excellent

Really good I enjoyed the smell! Taste was delicious! Good for morning and afternoon brew
4/13/2023
Deep chocolate
1/25/2023
I liked the roast level! I think that really helped keep away some of the sour notes that I don’t like. I’m still learning to make espresso well so I don’t have a ton to add but the shots I pulled with this bag were much better than what I was using before.
11/6/2022
For some reason I'm not picking up on any of the nutty flavors. This one is almost balanced- it leans a little bitter. No off flavors and it makes a decent cup of coffee, but the Tigerwalk Espresso is still my favorite from Equator.
9/2/2022
Rich in flavor and balanced just little darker than what i like
8/28/2022
A little too much bitterness and that may be because I'm using it in an espresso machine and perhaps the beans are too fresh as it's only about 8 days since it was roasted
8/25/2022
sour
7/16/2022
Mouthful of rich succulent earthy flavor.
6/30/2022
I love the mix of fruit, sour, dark notes
6/26/2022
Great coffee
6/6/2022
Really liked the chocolate and hazelnut notes, was great for a latte
6/6/2022
Was very good strong espresso
6/2/2022
Chocolate flavored, taste great!
5/24/2022
Way too much of a “burnt” flavor profile
5/22/2022
Delicious!
5/2/2022
OK for an espresso.
5/1/2022
So far one of the best cups of cappuccino I've made on my home setup!
4/20/2022
Very smooth, no overwhelming flavors coming from the coffee
3/23/2022
I found the espresso strong but rarely bitter. Overall, I enjoyed flavor.
3/21/2022
Very dark and rich with the right amount of spices - at first smelled quite acidic but in the taste it was perfectly earthy.
3/3/2022
This was very smooth, but the flavor wasn’t memorable.
2/16/2022
It was a bit bitter.
1/29/2022
Good flavor
1/28/2022
too dark for me but otherwise well balanced
1/24/2022
Very good - still evaluating.
1/10/2022
This coffee starts out with rich hazelnut, until the baking spices and semisweet chocolate linger as it finishes with light apricot. I will be ordering this again
12/17/2021
We would rather not get this coffee anymore it is just not as good as the other coffees
12/11/2021
Nice medium flavored coffee, but should not be rated as dark roast, definitely medium body
12/10/2021
Loved the hazelnut and chocolate tasting notes, and balance was excellent for expresso.
12/6/2021
love the richness of this espresso
11/12/2021
I ground the beans for use in a French press (as I do every morning) and it was lighter than I thought it would be. The nuttiness was prevalent in the beginning which I usually do not prefer, but it smoothed out and became less bitter. Overall it was a fun coffee to try but I would not choose this one over others.
11/9/2021
This did not have the dark, rich taste that I like. The beans were lacking in oil and darkness. Please do not send this again. I could detect non of the flavors mentioned.
10/27/2021
Strong apricot finish to espresso, chocolate and spice dominate in latte with slight notes of smoke
10/11/2021
This coffee was delicious! It was definitely our favorite so far :) I'm not sure we can pinpoint what it was about it (bc it's not so recent in our minds), but it was very enjoyable. Wouldn't mind repeating it in the future!
10/4/2021
Tasty. Enjoy the chocolate notes.
10/1/2021
love this one
9/26/2021
A little weak but good still. Prefer darker and richer
9/4/2021
Bland
8/26/2021
wonderful, complex flavors. Used for Espresso.
8/21/2021
Really good
8/11/2021
Superb !
7/21/2021
Delicious
7/12/2021
I did enjoy this blend. Not perfect and don't think it's as bold as I expected but good.
7/5/2021
Coffee is tasty. Espresso grind was too coarse
7/3/2021
Tasty! Smooth and darker than I usually drink but enjoyed it. Would appreciate something a bit more vibrant next
6/27/2021
The aroma of the beans is amazing! I was very excited to try it. Unfortunately it is a little too mild. I will keep it and maybe have it cold every once in a while for something light. Otherwise I do not care for it.
6/26/2021
My very first bag from MistoBox and blown away from the start. Sweet, rich, bold flavors. Would buy again.
6/20/2021
Yummy. Would have liked a little less acidity
6/19/2021
Sour notes. Not dark enough.
6/14/2021
Too dark a roast for me. Gummed up the espresso maker and was a bit too bitter
5/26/2021
Great crema, easy to brew, basically perfect
5/13/2021
Very nice, darker and full mouth feel. Excellent in latte, cappuccino and milk based drinks. One of our favorites.
5/11/2021
Nice balanced flavor. Crema was OK. Standard grind work well.
4/24/2021
A favorite. Rich and really well balanced.
4/3/2021
Good strong flavors but I prefer something with a stronger chocolate flavor
4/1/2021
The chocolate flavor is perfect
3/24/2021
too strong
3/23/2021
Too dark for our taste. This is probably the darkest roast that i find OK. it is really borderline too dark.
3/17/2021
The tasting notes are accurate. Chocolate, hazelnut, and apricot, which comes on the finish. I don't like fruity coffees, but this has just a hint of fruit and is balanced by the deep, dark, richer flavors that I love.
3/11/2021
Nice and smooth, really enjoyed the nutty flavor, but it is a bit too bright to my taste..
2/13/2021
Too much hazelnut taste.
2/5/2021
perfect espresso
1/20/2021
Loved
1/13/2021
Too dark
1/10/2021
Rich, smooth, and blends well into my latte
12/31/2020
A little too Char-bucks like. 6-7 on a scale of 10.
12/29/2020
Prepared as espresso on an expobar brewtus, with 1:2 and 1:3 ratios., Complimented with whole milk (as a cappuccino) very well.
12/21/2020
Loved this coffee!
12/10/2020
Not bad. Nice espresso good roast. Better than medium complexity. Solid but not outstanding.
11/27/2020
We loved this one! Rich, smooth but not too dark.
10/25/2020
A great and deep flavor.
10/21/2020
Love this one!
10/17/2020
This was an amazing espresso. Rich and flavorful
8/31/2020
Really great. Full flavored. Delicious black, with cream and on ice
7/15/2020
Lovely taste and and the beans truly have a unique smell to them.
7/15/2020
Full and very good. Smooth and a strong lasting taste.
7/6/2020
So smooth and rich!
7/6/2020
Really liked this
6/28/2020
Very Good. I prefer no aftertaste, just coffee. Great, though.
6/28/2020
Overall, very well balanced. A touch sour for my taste
6/27/2020
Delicious coffee!
6/26/2020
Drinking a lot of pour over and drip coffee. This coffee is rather bitter. For espresso it is good, but not recommended for pour over.
6/13/2020
Good, but maybe would have benefited from more fruit flavors? I'm just getting into making espresso, so I'm still learning!
6/9/2020
Delicious!
6/7/2020
Different flavors come out with different methods, got more of the hazelnut with a mocha pot and more of the fruitier side with an aeropress. Tasted great black but will also do fine for espresso drinks.
6/5/2020
It was more nutty than I like. I’m used to a finer ground up bean and I was looking for more of a smooth finish.
6/3/2020
Sold. Perfect balance of chocolate notes and coffee
5/28/2020
Jaguar Espresso produces a great crema, but was brighter than I expected. I hope the next one is darker and more roasty.
5/27/2020
chocolate flavor and aroma is nice but i prefer something more smoky. this coffee also seems more astringent than i'm used to (which i dislike)
5/22/2020
Fruity aroma and rich, roasted flavor at the same time. A top pick at home.
5/19/2020
Excellent Espresso. Complex and sweet with little to not acidity or bitterness. The hint of chocolate and fruit flavors is an excellent combination. Will definitely be buying more!
5/15/2020
Great flavor, very smooth
5/11/2020
kinda bland. not my cup of tea.
5/1/2020
Was good as pour over. Better as French Press.
4/22/2020
Amazing smell. Not as “thick” as I’m used to.
4/21/2020
Tasty and rich! Low in acidity and very smooth.
4/7/2020
A little too dark. And too acidic.
3/27/2020
Great aroma. Smells absolutely devine. Still adjusting my brew. Seems like it tastes a little more subtle than I was expecting. Am pleasantly surprised. Looking for more dramatic flavorful coffee tastes in the future.
3/18/2020
Sour
3/16/2020
Good, woody, nutty flavor. Expected more fruit and spice from description.
3/14/2020
A quick caveat: My wife and I are new to espresso and are just starting to develop a palate. We liked this one. Wasn’t super bitter and tasted bold.
2/17/2020
Love it!! Chocolatey and delicious!
2/10/2020
Too bitter
2/3/2020
Not my favorite. Had some real bitter notes that I didn’t like.
1/22/2020
Dark, oily, and reminds me of Starbucks. No idea why I picked this
Update: today my wife asked, “Does that taste like dirt? Because it smells like dirt.”...... yes, yes it does.

Too bitter for my taste
1/7/2020
Lots of smoky notes; overall pretty good! Definitely better hot than as cold brew.
12/1/2019
This coffee was not up to the standard we expected. We prefer a medium roast and this was a very dark roast.
11/29/2019
weak
9/24/2019
Great
9/7/2019
Decent for espresso but not amazing. Semi-decent crema production.
7/21/2019
Excellent coffee beans for Lattes. Perfect balance between being strong yet smooth. Highly recommend!
6/21/2019
Delicate yet full bodied. Nice crema not too dark of a roast for espresso. Smells so good.
5/24/2019
The beans were slightly oily so they would stick in the bean hopper
5/9/2019
This is exactly down my alley
3/16/2019
Not our absolute favorate bit still had a very good taste.
3/3/2019
Wasn't my favorite...too bitter.
11/6/2018
Delicious, lovely balance of flavor
10/14/2018
Light, bright, and balanced.
9/22/2018
This was more like a 4.5 (if you like a roast darker than medium). I would get this again. A dark roast from Dillanos set the bar for a 5 star.
9/1/2018
Favorite Yet
8/28/2018
Excellent
8/11/2018
Equator just makes great coffee!
4/7/2018
Couldn’t tell the difference between the two but awesome coffee!!
2/5/2018
Pretty tasty, but darker roast than I like
12/14/2017
Greatly enjoyed the strong flavors. Finishing it off with a spot of steamed milk balanced it wonderfully.
10/27/2017
We have struggled with this one. My first shots were very sour. After using a finer grind (i.e. longer extraction), I got rid of most of the sour, but this has been our least favorite of the coffees so far.
10/21/2017
Not one of our all time favorites...
10/18/2017
Nice, rich flavor. A bit more acid than I prefer. Works well in my espresso machine.
9/5/2017
Very dark and strong coffee. Didn't really pickup on any of those rich flavors
8/16/2017
Loved it, would definitely enjoy getting this in rotation again at some point.
8/15/2017
This was by far the best coffee I've had from MistoBox. More like this please!
8/2/2017
Really nice flavor, great cup of coffee or espresso.
8/1/2017
Enjoyed! Definitely in the top 3 of our list (along with Panther from the same company).
7/30/2017
Not as good as Good Folks Coffee.
7/27/2017
Extremely bitter. The initial taste is slightly richer like bittersweet chocolate, but that richer taste quickly gives way to a less desirable bitterness that is very close to lemon peel in flavor, and that lemon peel bitterness overwhelms the taste buds. This one goes in the trash bin.
7/14/2017
I definitely enjoyed this one. Tried this one as cold brew as well and it was pretty smooth.
7/7/2017
Good, drinkable dark roast
6/26/2017
I enjoy it, nice sutal favor, great aroma
6/17/2017
This one was lacking something. Lined it, didn't love it. Flavor wasn't deep enough. Had some nice notes, but something lacking compared to the previous beans (Calombe).
4/20/2017
LOVE this -- super dark and rich
4/18/2017
Good - like it. Didn't make me cry though.
2/25/2017
I found the Jaguar Espresso to have a light bitter sweet taste, low acidity with good mouth feel. I can taste the hints of hazelnut and chocolate tones. Its not as dark an espresso as I like. This is a solid 4 stars with me, I would be proud to serve this to anyone. I utilized this exclusilvely in my DeLonghi espresso machine.
2/9/2017
Truly loved this blend. A prefect dark but delicate cup, rich and fragrant.
2/6/2017
Dry beans, deep caramel color
French press- vigorous bloom emits a savory aroma
Low/medium acidity and medium mouthfeel
Starts with nutty chocolate and suggestions of citrus
A round, complex cup with a distinctly spicy finish

Nothing special about this coffee, sorry
1/31/2017
Great
1/23/2017
The brewed coffee is not bitter which is good, however it is not flavorful...like it's watered-down and the flavor is "hiding" (don't know if this makes sense?).
1/17/2017
Loved this one! Thank you!
1/7/2017
One of my favorites currently.
12/30/2016
I really enjoyed this one. It was deep, warm, a full bodied. When I first brewed it, the hazelnut was up front, and as I've tinkered with temps the other flavors takes turns.
12/24/2016
This coffee was good. I'm not sure how to describe it. It almost had an herbal quality to it which was new to me.
11/15/2016
One of the better espresso's tasted so far in our journey to find that perfect espresso for lattes. It has a nice bold taste and definitely can taste the chocolate overtones. Love the stamping of a roasted on date. So important, but rarely found.
10/30/2016
I really enjoy the unique flavors of this espresso blend. Not typically what I would expect, which is awesome! The only real downside I can say is... relatively low caffeine content.
9/21/2016
Love it!!! Perfect Balance
9/19/2016
This coffee it our favorite so far. It's nice and bold, but has a smooth finish.
9/14/2016
Love this one too it's rich creamy taste is what I'm liking about it this morning and I take my coffee black nothing added. Definitely is a eye opener
9/10/2016
this tasted richer than the roma espresso blend but also suffered from lack of structure when compared to Nizza - it was not burnt or acidic - inconsistent roast quality when compared to Nizza but an improvement over the roma espresso
9/6/2016
This expresso style coffee was not very strong and did elicit the deep rich taste I like with and expresso style coffee. The aftertaste was weak and is lost in the steamed milk for a latter. It is lighter on the acid so a milder coffee taste for me.
8/17/2016
Pretty good. Nice, robust flavor.
8/15/2016
Rich and dark, nice with cream
8/4/2016
I love this coffee it is bold and the favor lingers on my taste buds. It's so good I don't want to brush my teeth after drinking it.
7/11/2016
Enjoyed this coffee as a pour-over with milk. I found it to be an enjoyable dark roast!
6/18/2016
Could not get it dialed in - overroasted for my taste
6/18/2016
Nice smooth flavor - pulls an excellent shot
6/16/2016
Hard to pin down whether this rating is correct or not, since as my first mistobox coffee, I don't have anything else to compare it to.Overall: I loved the smell of the whole beans, but I disliked the smell after grinding them.I made drip coffee.Even though I didn't care for the aroma of the ground coffee, I *did* enjoy the flavor. I'd say the aroma of the ground beans reminded me of a light roast, and the brewed coffee tasted great.
6/11/2016
Excellent blend of chocolate and coffee notes. Fantastic as espresso
6/4/2016
It's nice. It was lighter than I expected, but I did enjoy this coffee
5/30/2016
Bland, uninteresting coffee. Roast is medium, flavor dull with mild chocolate notes and not much else. Not worthy of treatment as shot of espresso, but pairs ok with milk giving it some saving grace.
3/19/2016
Excellent, dark and bitter just the way I like it
3/12/2016
It was good but had a slightly burnt flavor to it. would like to try something a little creamier if that makes sense
3/3/2016
These are the best beans I've had in my espresso machine, and its hard to beat my local roaster.
2/17/2016
Really good - this is the one we like best so far
1/16/2016
Loved it. So easy to drink. Rich and dark, full-bodied. Slightly burnt notes prevent us from rating it 5 stars.
1/10/2016
smoky
1/7/2016
East African coffee strains seemed to dominate this coffee. A bit too bright for my pallet.
12/30/2015
This coffee is not as dark as I would have preferred. Typically I drink Starbucks espresso roast.
11/22/2015
I enjoyed the flavor and this would make a great dessert espresso. I would prefer a bolder flavor with the rich under tones.
10/22/2015
I really like this one based on the 1st cup. It seems nice and strong. I might look for something creamier next time if that makes sense? I will enjoy this for sure this month.
