Coffee Story
Description
The Bassline Espresso Blend was carefully roasted for you by Passion House Coffee Roasters. Here is an espresso for those who crave chocolate, nuts and a heavier body. Passion House still puts their little twist on espresso but have toned down the fruit and floral qualities they are known for. This espresso is a pretty perfect partner for milk. This cup is fantastically full bodied, with notes of chocolate and nuts.

Nicely balanced and consistent. Delicious in hot and cold milk drinks. Perfect for a midday Americano. Not quite as full bodied as other espresso blends, but still lovely.
9/20/2023
Apparently I prefer less full bodied. Probably would be great with milk but I usually have small americanos
9/18/2023
Yummy but didn’t feel like the caffeine was hitting
9/15/2023
The aroma is nice but I got a strong citrus flavor that overpowered anything else.
9/11/2023
It was okay. Not quite the taste I’m looking for. Didn’t like it at first but it grew on me a little bit.
Changed it to a 4 stars because I started liking it.

One of my favorite roasts! Perfect balance of acid and depth. A true medium roast.
8/29/2023
Yes, chocolate, as most Espresso roasts will have, but this one was almost milk chocolate-y, very pleasant surprise!
8/14/2023
Flavor was lacking.
8/8/2023
Sour taste dominates, which was not my favorite.
8/7/2023
Smooth and chocolatey. Makes a great cappuccino/flat white.
7/28/2023
This was a bit too bitter for me. Lots of lemon aftertaste.
7/26/2023
It has a nice flavor, but was lighter than I expected from a medium roast.
7/23/2023
Roast seemed lighter than advertised. Big citrus flavor.
7/21/2023
Lacked flavor imo. Will not buy again.
7/20/2023
very balanced. delicious. this has a medium roast with a blend of different coffees
7/12/2023
Good intro, but a bigger fan of the full body taste of the latest coffee
6/29/2023
In my opinion this coffee is light in body and barely a medium roast, tasted more like a light roast coffee. Lemon flavor does hit you at the back of the tongue. If you like fruity notes this is the coffee for you. Once milk is added this coffee to me was too sweet.
6/25/2023
It was a little too light for me
6/22/2023
Smooth, almost like a dessert coffee. It has the feel that there is milk in it, I don't drink milk. The fine grind clogs the filter of the drip machine.
6/1/2023
Grinds very nice, can definitely taste nutty and floral notes. A bit sweet.
5/19/2023
Loved this one! Always consistent, never had a bad cup.
5/16/2023
Creamy and well balanced flavor
5/13/2023
Tasty but too...light? Color was off, and I found myself increasing from my usual measure of grounds in my brewer...
5/11/2023
It's good, just more on the light side. I was expecting more of a bold coffee flavor.
5/11/2023
tasted dry, not veryaromatic
4/30/2023
I had higher expectations, found it didn't mix with my hazelnut creamer very well.
4/17/2023
pretty good

For too nutty, did not enjoy

We absolutely love the taste of how these beans brew. Would purchase again !
3/30/2023
good flavor although i am not a fan of the lemon aftertaste. i only make cappuccinos and lattes so i am glad to be receiving beans that are good with milk.
3/29/2023
I absolutely loved this! The moment I took a sip I was like ohhhh this is what incredible coffee should taste like! My husband on the other hand liked it, but prefered the Peet's dark roast beans.
3/26/2023
A tad light, but great flavor
3/20/2023
Very subtle and not as deep a flavor as the others
3/8/2023
Excellent! Favorite one so far
2/27/2023
The floral notes are subtle but are nice. It's been a little tricky to dial in, but that is probably just user error. Would like to try something more single origin next time.
2/26/2023
Bland flavor, not nearly as good as Lavazza super crema.
2/26/2023
This highlights why I dislike blends. They are next to impossible to dial in properly unless done very well. When I can get a proper extraction, it tastes okay but it is highly inconsistent.
2/21/2023
This espresso is bomb. Very syrupy but still bright and juicy. Makes good v60 too.
2/17/2023
Very Smooth
2/16/2023
Very bitter and acidic. Not enjoyable at all.
2/16/2023
Ive had a decent amount of fresh roasted coffee. This doesn't taste fresh roasted to me. But who know. Wasn't my favorite. Not bad. Not Great. A little bit bold and dry. I think we like the more medium stuff for daily drinking which we are looking for here. I do like Illy medium espresso for espresso pretty well. Maybe more oily
2/16/2023
It did not have much flavor. The beans were dry with no oils. Overall nothing special.
2/10/2023
Could not get good extraction from this coffee.
2/1/2023
I specifically requested no dark roast coffee beans in my shipments as they don’t work well with my Jura machine, which is the only thing I use for coffee.
1/30/2023
Good cocoa notes, good black and even better with a little milk. The grind is a little too fine so I can’t make a full pot in my drip coffee maker without the filter getting clogged. Very nice medium roast. Very solid coffee.
1/30/2023
Loved the chocolate notes
1/28/2023
Good, interesting flavors
1/5/2023
Delightful.
1/5/2023
The roast was too light for my preference. It almost had a green grassy overtone.
1/1/2023
Flavor profile is good but I like a coffee that is a bit more robust / full flavored.
12/20/2022
Really consistent pull in my machine. Great taste with nutty note. Want something still a little darker.
12/3/2022
Not my favorite
10/29/2022
Loved it!
10/10/2022
A little too fruity
10/4/2022
Very bitter out of the espresso machine. Made good lates though.
I really dislike nutty coffees by the way....

10 to 9 grind
9/4/2022
This coffee was great! Easy to dial in, with a very rich body and a surprising (and enjoyable) acidic finish. Will definitely add this one to my queue again.
8/21/2022
Medium body. Decent flavor. An ok coffee.
8/2/2022
It's easily my favorite so far; it is delicious, and there's no bitterness. It brews into a smooth, delicious cup of coffee
7/16/2022
rich and easy to drink
7/13/2022
Good medium-dark roast, notes of chocolate and pulling shorter or faster bring out a pleasant acidity and lemon flavors. Medium body and crema. No roast flavors, smooth. Goes well in milk or as shot.
7/10/2022
Good
6/19/2022
Very good, super fresh
6/9/2022
My lesson not to judge a book by its cover! I didn’t think I’d like this one based on its description, but this espresso is very nice. It’s smooth and chocolatey. It tastes warm and invokes feelings of sitting around a campfire. I really enjoyed this espresso.
6/2/2022
Delicious! Smells like peanut butter and chocolate. Probably the best coffee I have ever tasted.
6/1/2022
Very good, but lacking in richness or depth
5/30/2022
Nice full bodied espresso that goes well with milk.
5/27/2022
This one is good but has taken me a little bit to dial in a good double shot. The others have used around the same settings on my grinder but this one needed a coarser grind. Tastes smooth and good though. Excellent for iced coffee.
Edit: I’m taking a star off though it could be user error. I have not been able to pull a consistent shot and, while it tastes good, it makes a mess every time I make espresso.

5/14/2022
Good flavor, makes some nice espresso.
5/10/2022
Solid, Very smooth for an espresso; creamy caramel taste with out the usual distinctive bitterness that is one of the fun characteristics of espresso. Tried it twice and have realized I don't want to have it again. 5.
5/7/2022
This was delicious, a bit darker than expected, but did pair nicely with in a latte.
5/5/2022
brewed equally well as espresso - nice crema and deep balanced flavor. nut flavors did not overpower chocolate after taste.
flavors more subtle with aeropress, well balanced, low acidity.

5/2/2022
This tasted like a lighter roast and not very full bodied.
4/30/2022
This is the only coffee so far that I wasn't crazy about and wouldn't want to get again. It had a weird aftertaste that I didn't enjoy.
4/30/2022
Can’t drink this. The bag is mislabeled and I don’t own a grinder. I was send whole bean in the guise of drip grind.
4/25/2022
Too light for my taste
4/20/2022
Nice, slightly lighter than previous coffee, good in the mix.
4/20/2022
While not listed as a main note, this coffee has a hint of citrus, which I'm not a fan of.
4/16/2022
I didn’t like this one
4/14/2022
Love the coffee and the branding!
3/27/2022
perfect coffee, great deep notes with spikes of 'gentle acidity'
3/2/2022
The Bassline Espresso Blend I received does not match the description here on Misto Box's website. Here on the Misto site, it describes the tasting notes as "chocolate, nutty, full bodied". But on the actual package, it reads, "Milk and dark chocolate bass notes with a slight lemon finish that bounces out of your cup." I experienced the lemon note as being rather strong, maybe even overpowering; it didn't come across as full bodied but rather sour and/or acidic, perhaps overly so. ...With quite a lot of tweaking I was able to later pull espresso that was a lot less sour tasting and bright with lemon, but overall it was still a 'meh' from me.
2/8/2022
Second year on this program and this is undrinkable to me. Chocolate and nuts? I don’t get that but if that is what the professionals call it, leave me out. Sorry to say but this is my least favorite.
2/5/2022
Too light, don't like lemon
2/2/2022
Very true to its description. Will definitely keep this on my short list
1/31/2022
Primarily used to make flat whites and americanos with coconut/almond milk. Mild nut and chocolate flavors come out in a flat white with a lingering bitterness. Same for an americano, but did get some faint citrus notes. OK, but I prefer a more pronounced flavor profile.
1/31/2022
This always felt weak even when I made it the same way that I do for all the others. Just didn’t love it as much, but the flavor was nice.
1/25/2022
A bit sour for my liking no matter what temperature or grind size.
1/20/2022
This has been my favorite so far. Can we please alternate between dark roast (but not too oily for our superautomatic) and medium roast? This will keep both my wife and me happy. thanks!
1/20/2022
We loved this one. Rich, full bodied, nicely balanced with depth.
1/6/2022
Pulling was again a breeze but the flavor profile was a tad bitter for my tastes (if I'm remembering correctly, lol).
12/12/2021
A bit too dark.
12/3/2021
The flavor of this is what i want more of. Real lovely coffee flavor no notes of anything g that im not in to.
11/25/2021
This coffee for me lacks in flavor and strength.
11/23/2021
Put in wrong review!!! This one is definitely NOT fruit forward. Nutty and smooth! This one makes excellent milk based drinks as well as straight up espresso using Ratio 2:1.
11/9/2021
Brewed as espresso / cappucino
17g in, 35g out, 25s

Very nice low acidity, chocolate notes
10/25/2021
Peanut butter! Lots of nutty notes with slight hints of chocolate. Honestly the body isn't as heavy as advertised but I'm alright with that. Maybe my favorite from Mistobox so far.
Brewed in the Ratio 8 coffee maker. 55g beans, medium grind (24/40 - Baratza Encore). 1.2L of water.

9/17/2021
delicious and beautiful crema!
8/25/2021
I really like the stronger chocolate flavor in this pick. I do not get any nuttiness and only a slight bit of fruitiness in this. This also feels a bit less sour than the first pick. I can do without the burnt smell during the initial pour and sip. If I let it set for a few minutes the burnt smell goes a way and the chocolate taste is much more pronounced.
This was a good pick.
This was a good pick.
8/7/2021
Wow, love it! My fave so far. Definitely rich delicious flavor!
8/3/2021
Tasted a little bit acidic to me but with milk beverages it was an amazing piece.
8/3/2021
It is OK.
7/28/2021
Great choice, loved the mild notes of chocolate and raspberries, not overpowering at all and easy to tweak the extraction to bring the flavor out more or less
7/26/2021
Very smooth tasting coffee. Taste chocolate and fruit all in one sip
7/26/2021
Perfect roast for my Breville espresso machine. Bean was roasted perfectly and the aroma straight out of the bag was amazing.
6/27/2021
Earthy, chocolate, complex. We enjoyed it.
6/16/2021
This espresso was different and that's not a bad thing but I will just say that it was very interesting. I can taste Bass bottom notes of kind of chocolate like flavors then at the very same time I start getting a tangy citrus type of note that is kind of strange altogether. This by no means was a bad coffee but it's not one of my favorites but still pretty good
6/11/2021
I think if you like chocolate in your coffee this is great. I don't.
6/2/2021
was a bit sweeter but good coffee.
5/29/2021
Amazing!!!! My machine pulled this roast perfectly!! It is so SMOOTH! Delicious!
5/19/2021
Great dark coffee fit for me
5/13/2021
More earthy than any of the flavor descriptions given.
5/11/2021
Too mild
4/23/2021
The burst of lemon at the end really enhances the complexity of the bean!
4/12/2021
Another great roast, i've been following a 1:2 ratio with my coffees lately. found that:
14 grams dose
28g extraction
28 seconds
yielded the best profile,
clearly chocolatey and nutty!!
best enjoyed with some water on the side, the finish is superb!

4/4/2021
Not the biggest fan of the lemon chocolate mix
4/1/2021
From the chemex and black, this blend tested...okay. Not that exciting. Mostly molasses and maybe some chocolate? This was a bit better as an americano from the aeropress, but really not by a whole lot. I think I tend to like more of the citrus-y and fruity blends more.
3/29/2021
This is probably one of the worst coffees ever! I do not taste chocolate or nuts.
3/24/2021
We’ve enjoyed this espresso with no complaints.
3/19/2021
Loved it
3/18/2021
Wow! Best yet. Crema thick sweet taste good
3/17/2021
Didn’t seem as fresh, notes fall flat
3/15/2021
Not bad for espresso, but not great for regular coffee. Somewhat one note-ish
3/14/2021
liked this one
3/13/2021
We liked the chocolate and nutty notes. The name is fitting, really is full bodied.
2/28/2021
THIS was some of the BEST coffee I have tasted. Just... WOW.
2/25/2021
"Full bodied" is a bit strong, but great flavor.
2/10/2021
Not very complex. Was extracting 30g from a 20g dose in between 25-30 seconds and wasn’t really finding the flavor
1/31/2021
Nothing too special. Did not taste chocolate and nuts.
1/28/2021
Full bodied but surprisingly mellow. Enjoyed this one.
1/27/2021
I favor coffees that are less acidic and reminds me of chocolate. This roast checked off these boxes and more. I use an Aeropress where I followed the recommend brewing method published here. This could be my desert island coffee
1/25/2021
I made this both in a French press and as an espresso. Also made it in a latte. I really don't know how else to say it other than it just seemed kinda basic/boring. I didn't taste a whole lot of chocolate or nutty notes. Liked the Populace Espresso Proper much better.
1/23/2021
Not bad. Getting the correct grind is key.
1/9/2021
Excellent and fruity. A house favorite.
12/30/2020
Bitter
12/26/2020
Perfect at a grind setting of 33 on our Oracle Touch. Not very bold when paired with milk
12/17/2020
Perfect Description of tastes! -chocolate, nuts and a heavier body.
Just brewed a aero press and it is wonderful!

12/11/2020
Not quite as good as the Organic One Black Expresso, but a close second at this point. Rich, chocolately.
12/4/2020
Was not bold enough. Not a favorite.
11/30/2020
Needed more chocolate to balance out brightness. 7 out of 10 on amount of body. Prepared as espresso on an expobar brewtus, with trials of 1:2 and 1:3 ratios.
11/28/2020
FRUITY, BRIGHT
11/20/2020
We loved this one. Great for straight shots, lattes, and americanos. Fully bodied but not overwhelmingly dark.
11/16/2020
We loved the body of this coffee.
11/11/2020
Espresso was very bitter. This bag was better than Espresso Proper. If I could give it 3.5 stars I would. Once I added milk the flavor was much better but none of the flavor notes really come through. First bag (Fall Line Espresso) is still the best by far.
11/2/2020
Also a good espresso roast. Only knock it that it wasn’t regional but still a strong choice.
10/31/2020
Too bitter, very difficultto balance.
10/23/2020
Tasty! Was excited to drink this every morning!
10/11/2020
Really interesting roast. When you taste it starts out light but shifts to medium as it sits on your palette. I’m not a fan of light roasts because I find them too acidic. But since these beans are a medium roast you get the taste of a light roast without the acidity. Dialing it in I was able to get the notes of light chocolate and nuts but no matter how much I tinkered I couldn’t get rid of a powdery feeling at the tail end of the after taste which is why it’s getting a 4 for me,
10/8/2020
This is outstanding! It is a great rich and full flavor. It’s my favorite coffee so far! I could drink this every day and be very happy to have such a daily coffee treat.
10/5/2020
Nuttyness was too strong, coffee tasted like peanut butter
9/27/2020
It is somewhat acid. I personally prefer darker blends
9/23/2020
This one is keeping me on my toes. First shot was heavy on the nutty flavor with some bold chocolate notes, the following shot packed a citrus punch. I'm enjoying the gamut of clear distinct flavors. This is one that is more interesting as an espresso rather than in a cappuccino.
9/22/2020
A little strong but good flavor.
9/15/2020
It was good, not my favorite
9/13/2020
Good, but I only need espresso every couple of months please.
9/12/2020
Notes indicate full bodied but I found the shots to be thinner and weaker than I'd prefer. Coffee was both bitter and sour, no matter how I pulled the shot. Never was able to get a great shot.
9/8/2020
Great Taste very smooth and creamy as I like it.
9/8/2020
This was fantastic. It made excellent espresso. Good "neat" or in milk drinks.
9/1/2020
Delicious! I was on vacation and had to use this with my Moka not my usual espresso machine, so didn't get to really evaluate it properly. But I did think it was tasty in iced coffees. I'd get it again!
8/21/2020
Just starting it, so maybe too early to judge -- but WOW! Lighter roast, so went fine. First 4x pulls over 2 days came out great. Chocolate, today some cinnamon, super smooth with no bitterness. Really like it so far!
8/17/2020
No creme, kinda flat
8/14/2020
Better than the last one. A little bitter for my taste,though.
8/13/2020
Excellent
8/6/2020
Pretty good for an every day cup of coffee. I liked the notes. It also makes a good iced coffee
6/25/2020
I loved this coffee and would like to get more
5/12/2020
Good, but slightly less so than the previous.
5/3/2020
Love it, nice blend goes great with my choice of creamer (sweet cream Chobani half and half
4/7/2020
It says full bodied but this was very light and not enjoyable.
3/29/2020
This is an amazing espresso. I love it for my lattes!
8/28/2019
Did not like one
8/6/2019
Did not enjoy this coffee as much as others
7/15/2019
Delicious
7/11/2019
This was okay not great depth of flavor
7/9/2019
Love.It.
5/17/2019
Very good for both hot and iced lattes.
4/16/2019
Definitely one of our favorites to date! Super smooth, not acidic at all, smelled wonderful.
12/3/2018
like the chocolate flavors
9/19/2018
Lots of flavor!
9/15/2018
Chocolate, nutty, toasty. Really enjoyed this one. I had to grind a lot coarser than usual in our breville barista touch.
8/2/2018
It was easy to pull a decent shot with this espresso blend. The flavor profile is as described, chocolatey and nutty with a bit of citrus, which is much more pronounced when consumed as an espresso shot.
7/22/2018
Very light and citrusy, tasted really weird. Only making this coffee with pourover made it bearable
5/30/2018
Extremely acidic no matter how I pull it. Very bitter.
5/22/2018
One of us loved it, the other not so much. (We are pretty opposite in life, generally, anyway!) Much fruitier and nuttier than chocolatey; the "espresso" in the title didn't play out in the cup we brewed in our basic drip machine.
3/18/2018
Ok roast...but not my most favorite. If there are more like the Honduras Las Capucas I'd be super interested. :)
2/24/2018
I really enjoyed this blend, tasted notes of chocolate and nutty. smooth cup of coffee
1/28/2018
Best espresso i've received in a few orders. juicy, lingerling flavor, savory almost. i think I'm loving heavier body espresso. Great choice!
12/11/2017
A little too nutty.
10/3/2017
A pretty good bean, nice flavor, lattes and cappuccinos were excellent
9/5/2017
My first 5-star coffee from Mistobox. I use it with my secura automatic grinder, and Gaggia Old White Classic espresso machine for my latte every morning.
Fantastic taste, smooth and creamy. Tastes like it came from an artisan coffee shop. Hey Mistobox Coffee Gurus, more of this please!! :)

9/1/2017
So good! Was awesome for espresso and pour over! I'd like this one again!
8/12/2017
Didn't like not robust enough. Could hardly taste the coffee in my latte
7/15/2017
Very good flavor. Can really taste the chocolate nutty flavor.
5/27/2017
Smelled good, and had some nice notes, was a little flatter taste than I expected with the aroma.
4/18/2017
Great flavor, loved the heavier body. Made absolutely perfect lattes every time.
3/23/2017
Excellent for espresso...very balanced.
2/28/2017
Not bad, just not a lot of noticeable flavor
2/3/2017
It was a little bit too mild
10/17/2016
Tastes stale and old. Was very light, almost certainly not an expresso blend. Dumped the beans after a few pulls as it was undrinkable.
10/11/2016
Makes a great espresso as well as a pourover. No bitterness whatsoever. I used half the bag to make a small batch of (Japanese style) cold brew, which was amazing. This is a really good all-purpose blend.
7/11/2016
Great coffee. Smooth and dark, turned out great in our espresso machine and iced!
7/7/2016
I really liked this cup. The beans smelled fantastic when I opened the bag. I brewed with a french press, and I tasted very strong chocolatey notes on my first sip. Those notes were followed by a pleasant citrusy finish.
6/21/2016
Not as dark of a roast as I had hoped for.
6/5/2016
Tastes great. Nice and dark.
5/17/2016
Nice, smooth. chocolate notes.
5/13/2016
Good body, I'm not a milk-drink kind of guy, but it did pair well with milk.... pretty mellow and I didn't pull a bad shot.
2/24/2016
I love this coffee!
2/19/2016
LOVE IT!
2/12/2016
This was a good strong every day blend. A little stronger than I like, but it tasted great
12/17/2015
Slightly tart but with good body and and the fruit isn't overpowering at all. Really liked it.
11/26/2015
Light body with floral flavors.
10/27/2015
Great for everyday coffee.
10/13/2015
it was okay - not too bad but needed something a little stronger.
8/11/2015
While the description was pretty dead on, I'm not sure this is what I was looking for out of my espresso. I don't make a ton of milk based drinks, but this did compliment the latte and cortados I made well, with a somewhat dark hot cocoa flavor. By itself in a straight ristretto shot is was a bit bland and too nutty for me. A longer shot was easier, still too chocolatey and nutty for a straight shot for me. I noticed on the bag this roaster offers an exotic roast/blend, which might have been more up my alley.

Great and consistent espresso. Nice acidity with a nutty sweetness and strong chocolate notes.

Even though I'm not a big fan of milk/chocolate coffees, it didn't subtract from the taste of it. My wife (who happens to be lactose intolerant) really enjoyed this one.
