Coffee Story
Description
This is the Dharma Espresso Blend brought to you by Temple Coffee. Temple's Dharma Espresso Blend incorporates three distinct coffees from three different parts of the world. Although each coffee maintains its own unique qualities, each of them comes together to create one harmonious tasting experience. Notes of sweet fudge, nutty almond, and creamy butterscotch shine through. This medium-bodied espresso ends in a bittersweet, lingering finish that is great as a single shot or when prepared with milk or milk alternative.

Smooth and consistent

I think I’m learning I don’t love cherry notes. I like other fruits and florals, but the cherry was a bit much for me.

Had weird taste after first day, too bitter
2/28/2025
Decent!

Great flavor, easy to dial in with brewing guidelines on the bag.

Excellent

Love the taste profile but very difficult to dial in and pulls consistently short shots.

enjoyed these flavors
7/30/2024
This was also really good. Grind at 1.7 on a Varia S3 and took just under 30 seconds to get to 1:2 ratio with the Delonghi ECP.

One of my favorites so far!
5/20/2024

3/30/2024
Favorite so far
3/18/2024
Wasn't my favorite
3/8/2024
Great coffee, I love the acidity and the fruit notes. It is bold which is nice. I would like to have more experimental flavors
3/8/2024
Overall good coffee but there was a nutty taste that wasn’t my favorite
2/12/2024
Very nice choice. Our regular "coffee" is an espresso roast. This was well-balanced, brighter and more complex than our usual, although we did not find it as complex as the description might have suggested.
1/17/2024
To earthy and chocolaty
12/23/2023
really think i liked it
11/9/2023
A lovely coffee but a little too roasty/dark for my tastes
11/3/2023
Beautiful crema — less fruit but balanced across savory nuttiness and toasted carmel
9/20/2023
Smooth. Easy drinking. But uninteresting. Not much to remark about.
8/30/2023
Awesome for my lattes!! Loved the flavor notes.
8/30/2023
Nice Flavors!
8/19/2023
Very good. I like the flavor profile on this bag. I would like to try a touch darker but I really liked this blend.
8/18/2023
Too burnt
7/21/2023
Will order again.
7/5/2023
A little bitter and bland, did not seem as smooth as the last batch
6/16/2023
Good coffee for espresso. Highly recommend.
6/6/2023
Solid flavors. Good strong kick. Okay bitterness. Definitely enjoyed the flavor.
5/15/2023
A little darker than I would choose but tasty!
5/1/2023
It had a mild coffee flavor.
4/10/2023
Thin crema, sharp taste.
3/27/2023
This was so outstanding! Amazing flavor profile, brewed so well in our machine.
2/9/2023
I didn't get much flavor out of tis espresso and it didn't seem to pair well with our oat milk for cappuccinos.
1/26/2023
Wow! This hit all the notes - dark fudge chocolate, almond bark sweetness - that hang around long after you finish your sip!
1/4/2023
Website taste notes differ from what was on the bag. However, the beans smelled like Mrs. Butterworth candy. The butterscotch note was definitely there. Nutty flavors are coming through as the beans age. Definitely, tastes like I made my latte with almond milk, even though I didn’t. Couldn’t get a good sense of taste for the beans the first, few servings. Possibly, because I didn’t let the coffee rest for an adequate amount of time. I don’t know about this one.
1/2/2023
Very smooth
12/14/2022
Not very interesting. Weak tasting. 4.5. Wouldn't do again
12/1/2022
Tasty, like it as a latte, but so far my best drinks have been straight espresso and Americano. I do get the chocolate notes lingering (fudge per description)
10/31/2022
Excellent
9/25/2022
Very good. Didn’t give it a 5 because I had to fiddle around too much to tune this one in.
9/13/2022
Very smooth but a little on the weak side for an espresso.
8/4/2022
Nice and smooth. A touch acidic
7/13/2022
Our favorite so far. Very light and smooth.
3/30/2022
Faintly acid with a slight bitter finish makes for a supremely drinkable espresso on its own. Also holds up well with milk.
2/21/2022
Great coffee. Smooth. A bit creamy. Perfect on a brisk Midwest morning.
2/1/2022
Great espresso. I'm not a big fan of sour, so I did a longer extraction than recommended and pulled some great tasting shots.
1/23/2022
I did not enjoy this coffee, way too dark and tasted like a cheap grocery store coffee. Very disappointed.
1/7/2022
Very smooth and tasty! Generally, not bitter.
12/4/2021
Pretty tasty! I enjoyed the nuttiness that came through. It was a smidge too bitter at the end for me, so I didn't enjoy it as a stand alone shot, but it was just fine with milk.
11/30/2021
Pretty good. A bit light for my liking
9/29/2021
Yummy!!
9/11/2021
Not for me. Very bright and acidic.
9/2/2021
creamy fudge.
8/29/2021
Solid everyday coffee. There wasn't anything standing out, for good or bad.
7/16/2021
Smooth, milk, creamy
7/13/2021
Decent, but difficult to work with. Smooth and when it's done right, it has some nice depth.
6/8/2021
Not bad, but not my favorite... good coffee but not amazing
6/8/2021
I love this! Some really deep and complex flavors in the shot. Ristretto seems like it pulls more of the complexity out with less bitterness.
5/9/2021
One of my favorites in while! Loved the smooth rich taste
5/2/2021
Great Coffee! I really enjoyed it until the last drop.
4/26/2021
I do not like this one. Has an off taste.
4/25/2021
Excellent, one of my favorites. Subtle and nutty.
4/25/2021
Loved this. Always tasty (start to finish of the bag), super consistent shots. Chocolate but complex. Will get more!
4/23/2021
Delicious
4/13/2021
Bland tasteless
