I really like the taste of this one. It's very smooth and has a ton of flavor. I drink my coffee black and my husband uses coconut creamer and this works well both ways. The smell is also amazing on this one.

This was more fully bodied than the last one I tried, but still looking for something even more flavorful
3/11/2023
Great mix of fruity and chocolaty notes. Really loved espressos with this
3/6/2023
I haven’t rates my coffees in a while, but had to do it for this one. It’s my favorite ever!!!!!! It’s smooth, but has depth, and just a hint of molasses or something bittersweet. Remarkable!’
3/4/2023
a little light on the roast for me, but really clean taste
1/24/2023
Tasted good but a little light. Very smooth and not bitter at all.
1/6/2023
Flavorful, complex, had depth to it. Wasn’t acidic. Quite possibly the best coffee I’ve had.
12/30/2022
Too dark, but bitter
12/29/2022
Absolutely incredible so smooth no bitterness!
6/12/2022
Good but I like my coffee a little darker
5/17/2022
Perfect med-dark roast! great flavor and aroma.
5/7/2022
Solid
4/17/2022
Good but not as bold
4/16/2022
Wonderful smooth, rich taste. Needs a slightly coarser grind. Doesn't get bitter when I make a stronger cup.
4/14/2022
Didn't care for it. Am looking for a bean that is more oily on surface, more meaty (rich) in flavor
4/10/2022
Excellent!
4/9/2022
Tasted a bit more bitter than I prefer
4/6/2022
Loved this. Great balance of depth, flavor, complexity, and smoothness.
4/1/2022
Very good, medium dark. Solid cup
3/17/2022
Good balanced coffee
3/13/2022
I love the subtle richness of this coffee. The toffee notes appear over the solid cocoa base. This makes for a cup I truly look forward to everyday.
3/13/2022
Half the family liked. The other half did not
3/8/2022
Good but normal
2/26/2022
Rich flavor, my favorite so far!!!
2/18/2022
OK a little bit bitter
2/17/2022
I really enjoyed this one in Americanos and cappuccinos. The Dharma was so bad I had to throw it away so this was a huge improvement.
2/16/2022
I thought this was good, but not as much as the other 2, I wonder if it is the medium roast beans? would it be worth it to try a single bean medium roast to find out?
2/15/2022
Too light
2/14/2022
Very good coffee
2/10/2022
This coffee was delicious and smooth, but I didn’t really taste the note of caramel. Maybe I’m just not preparing it right.
2/9/2022
Guatemalan coffees are always my favorite!
2/8/2022
Not strong enough
2/6/2022
Wasn't bad at all, just didn't knock my socks off.
2/1/2022
This is great coffee. If I had to drink it every day, I would not be angry at the circumstances life has dealt me. Very earthy flavor that I enjoy quite a bit.
1/31/2022
Ok
1/30/2022
Really liked this one.
1/30/2022
We didn’t enjoy this bag. It was much more weak than all the other bags of coffee we have received.
1/29/2022
Slightly more bitter than we like.
1/27/2022
Very good! I can taste plum notes, chocolate notes. So delicious!!! Hubby says he can taste toffee.
1/20/2022
A little strong, delicious. Enjoyed the aroma and taste. We loved it :)
1/19/2022
I did not like Toffee taste and I prefer for dark roast
1/19/2022
Not dark enough for me.
1/15/2022
Really flavorful and rich- nutty and almost espresso like. I used in a French Press. Beans were very fresh! A little too bitter but still very good
1/14/2022
more medium than dark just an OK coffee
1/13/2022
Nothing Special
1/13/2022
It was kinda flavourless. Like It didnt taste like much.
1/12/2022
Delicious! Different than our regular coffee, and the flavor was rich and tasty.
1/10/2022
Really loved this one
1/10/2022
I really like this coffee. It was super smooth and very low acidity. (I am afraid because I tested positive for Covid the day I received this in the mail, I may not be tasting all this coffee has to offer).
1/5/2022
Good initial acidity with strong dark chocolate/cocoa notes. Don’t really get much of the stone fruit it mentions on the bag. Initial brew was too thin, but making it stronger improved the cup immensely. Probably closer to a 4.5/5 once I brewed it strong, a 3/5 when I brewed it weak.
1/5/2022
Delicious, balanced and highly caffeinated
1/5/2022
Great strong flavor
1/4/2022
This was fine.
1/2/2022
I prefer a pure dark roast with bold flavor. Nothing with a hint of fruit flavor.
12/29/2021
Had to grind very fine. But super yummy
12/21/2021
We love this one!!
12/2/2021
mediocre taste
11/13/2021

10/31/2021
Mild, smooth, and not bitter.
10/30/2021
Loved this coffee
10/20/2021
Nice and robust with layered flavor without being roasted to dark.
8/25/2021
Love it, this is one of my favorites! Very smooth, would definitely order again.
8/3/2021
Nothing special! Just Diner Coffee. Boring and bland!
7/17/2021
Not bad somewhat smooth no bitterness
6/22/2021
My wife particularly liked this. She said it made a good, smooth espresso.
6/1/2021
Really good dark roast
5/7/2021
It is very similar to the Mexican Chiapas that I regularly drink.
4/26/2021
Not for me, too fruity and tart. Maybe it's the chocolate?
4/22/2021
weak, pedestrian
4/21/2021
Chocolate
4/19/2021
smooth
4/15/2021
Update: ground more coarsely and had better results. V60
Burnt notes overwhelm. One star from me.

Solid cup of coffee
4/2/2021
Loved this so much. Amazing flavor.
3/27/2021
smooth and one note. Toffee sweetness up front.
3/27/2021
Very smooth, delicious
3/21/2021
Really enjoyed this one! It tasted less acidic to me and can definitely tell that the coffee is "Balanced". Loved the flavors too.
3/17/2021
This one is slightly bitter, not bold enough for my taste.
3/16/2021
Did not like all
3/12/2021

3/7/2021
Great base flavor. Seems to weaken fast over a couple of weeks, though.
3/6/2021
I think the name says it all. It's a little Driftless in taste. I liked it just ok.
3/4/2021
want a break from this coffee please
3/4/2021
A little boring to me.
2/28/2021
It fits it's profile of cozy, unassuming, and balanced quite well. It has a satisfying, smooth flavor without an overbearing personality.
2/24/2021
Nothing special about this coffee.
2/16/2021
Probably my all time favorite coffee. It tasted amazingly creamy!
2/14/2021
Loved it!!
2/10/2021
Maybe the most delicious coffee I’ve had in a couple of years from Mistobox.
2/9/2021
A mild and lively (love the contradiction) cup of coffee.
2/5/2021
My favorite coffee so far!
2/3/2021
Coffee was ok. A bit flat but nutty and medium-mild. We brewed by drip.
2/3/2021
Need to change back to good review. My mistake. The excellent review was for Big Dipper.
1/30/2021
The best coffee I've had in several months. Dark and tasty but with a layer of complexity that let the roast shine through a bit. Good stuff.
1/4/2021
Perfect dark blend, no bitterness and smooth taste!
12/31/2020
A little on the acidic side, but good, rich flavors that line up with the description. Nothing challenging, but a satisfying cup.
12/31/2020
Balanced - perfect description. Try it for a standard weekday morning brew. Needs a bit more personality if you're looking for an afternoon pick-me-up.
12/15/2020
Didn't like it. Bitter aftertaste.
12/14/2020
Excellent coffee. Really well balanced. This will continue to be an everyday coffee for the wifey and myself.
12/9/2020
Excellent aroma and taste! Love the cocoa.
12/6/2020
Nice flavor pretty much as described.
11/30/2020
Hi Bailey. We didn't like the sharp smell and thin, papery taste. It was too mild; we like a richer, bolder, dark-roast coffee. Tasting notes (still figuring out the "wheel") we look for are chocolate, dark chocolate and even vanilla. We stay away from the fruity, vegetative coffees (the yellow, green and blue inner part of the wheel), the "Other" flavors, and the nuts and brown spices (10 o'clock position on the wheel). On the positive side - I think right now we're looking for a dark roast in the Honey through Chocolate part of the wheel and welcome your suggestions. Thanks!
11/29/2020
A light weight flavor of coffee that is refreshing release from the daily cup of coffee. Minimal acid, slightly on the fine grind for paper filters.
11/27/2020
Awesome taste
11/24/2020
My favorite by far
11/24/2020
It has that sweet or caramel aftertaste I can’t describe.
It’s a little weak for me

Dark without being burnt. Made delicious iced mocha lattes. Really nice mouth feel, didn't give me heartburn.
11/12/2020
Chocolate and butterscotch flavors meld in a solid body. Smooth. Very good warm and room temp, not good cold.
11/4/2020
Rich flavor, rich mouthfeel
10/23/2020
LOVE!
10/16/2020
This is the best coffee we have had so far!! My husband didn’t think he’d be a fan of anything with toffee or caramel notes, but this coffee quickly rose to the top!
10/12/2020
Full Bodied. Rich. Very Good.
10/7/2020
Not as smooth as the other coffees I’ve had. Has a more tart taste.
10/6/2020
This was so nice, really lovely and mellow with a gentle sweetness. I could definitely call this the platonic ideal coffee.
10/2/2020
Seemed run of the mill and lacked body or any interesting qualities.
9/29/2020
Good but wasn’t huge on the flavor profile
9/29/2020
I goofed up a cup of this coffee today (walked away from a pour over and forgot about it for almost 2 mins before resuming) and it was still delicious.
9/26/2020
It was tough on this coffee to strike the right balance. Tried a few different variations - lower water temperature, coarser grinds. With longer brew time, hotter water, this coffee came off very acidic and bitter. The opposite made it too mellow with not much depth.
9/24/2020
A little more acidic than I prefer
9/21/2020
Bland and weak
9/20/2020
Loved this coffee, ground it a bit finer than others, and it was delicious
9/19/2020
70g beans with 1 liter of water; brewed in Chemex
Not a bad coffee, but nothing really stands out about it. Similar to mid-grade grocery store coffees.

Delicate taste, not too bitter or tart, soft chocolate notes. Easy to drink, but balanced by not a strong flavor profile.
9/18/2020
As soon as I opened this bag I knew I was going to be enjoying a great cup of coffee. It was rich, smooth but full of body. Please put this back in my rotation.
9/18/2020
This is a fantastic coffee! We love the sweetness, the caramel notes are very distinct, but it also still has a great “coffee” flavor. Reminds us of the first coffee we ever experienced using a French Press at a friend’s house; the coffee was already ground in an unlabeled container and they couldn’t remember the brand, we’ve been chasing it ever since!
9/9/2020
prefer a stronger coffee
9/6/2020
I struggle to get this to not taste of dirt
9/6/2020
Very balanced and low acidity. I've realized the smoothness and low acidity is probably most important for me!
9/1/2020
Nice smooth
8/31/2020
Very Good Coffee....
8/27/2020
Great
8/23/2020
Really great! Dark caramel notes
