pretty solid medium - I like the more complex tasting notes of Light roasts but do want something so much in my face as most light roasts - so I want medium, but so far most medium roasts are Dark Roast Lite - still seems there's a huge gap between Light and Dark roast that isn't really covered.

Great choice. Sweet and delicious. Makes a nice espresso

Generally a good cup. Would buy again. Not a rich as a columbian, but still nice. Best Costa Rica coffee I have had.

Profile is exactly as detailed, light and approachable. Not my first pick but still makes a good cup

Decent but not very complex.

Smooth taste but not as flavorful as the Columbia. Definitely not bitter which is why I still like it but not as much as the Columbia. It also does not bring out the sweetness as much as the Columbia.

not very much flavor at all

This one was good but just didn't really stand out. It didn't have the richness or really the pop of some of the more acidic/floral/nutty flavors. It just wasn't very memorable.

LOVE.

Great, on the right track.

Ok

Just black was decent. I appreciate the new experience. Could taste juicy but nothing beyond that. I have a hard time distinguishing flavor profile.
11/24/2024
Great flavor but the body was a little too light for me.
11/23/2024
I like it, but it is a bit more fruity than I think I like in general.
11/23/2024
Hard to distinguish various flavors. Sort of muddied. Full bodied.

Classic Central America Coffee pushes all the right buttons

The beans smelled amazing, but I was disappointed in the taste--not many flavors coming through. Tried preparing via different V60 recipes and as an espresso and neither showcased the flavor profile. Ended up just tasting light and bland. I will continue trying to tweak my preparation.

Roasting a touch on the light side, limited flavors coming through. There’s some flavor there, but not my favorite
10/20/2024
Loved it, great roast and taste

Enjoyed this coffee! Plum and almond flavors definitely come through. Would have preferred more nuttiness over fruitiness for this particular coffee - the plum tends to leave an aftertaste

Great coffee! Love it!

Enjoying the excellent high quality and taste. The description is accurate. The only reason I don't rate it five star is personal preference. I prefer something a bit thicker and less gingery.

Great odor, and first note. The "juicy twist" was actually not that favorable to me. Very good cup of coffee though.
7/2/2024
Not my favorite. No stand out flavor
1/1/2024
Ooh delectable. Syrupy and I pick up pomegranate. Yet again, more HEAT from Method <3
8/13/2023
A bit over roasted for me. Definitely for the stone fruit and some sweetness but the ginger was a bit off putting.
5/29/2023
so bad, please never send this again
4/28/2023
Very roasty. Dark chocolate & pretzel. A bit of bitey spice with a floral finish.
4/6/2023
Soft and sweet. Hard to make into espresso
3/19/2023
I don't find it that flavorful. It is smooth/not acidic but not that aromatic or rich.
2/12/2023
Fine. A bit more of an acid taste. Wouldn't order again.
11/25/2022
Perfect for Cold Brew Well Balanced with good fruit flavors
6/30/2022
I liked the flavor and aroma of the coffee beans and grounds. Plum flavor stood out and that was good.
1/14/2022
Great notes of almond and ginger. A very satisfying experience.
12/22/2021
Makes me think of a lighter version of a dark roast. Robust flavor, but not bright. I like it. 4 stars for now while I keep trying new roasts.
10/10/2021
Overall pretty good. I found it tasted a little sour to me, but I may just need to tweak my brewing with the French Press.
8/13/2021
Delicious!
5/12/2021
I love this one --- it's perfectly balanced for me! Basically a perfect cup!
3/16/2021
Super solid daily drinker. Deep sweetness and plenty of body. I personally like a bit more fruity acidity, so this one isn't a 5 star. This coffee is great for anyone that likes a sweet coffee with big body, that is solid with out without a dairy/alt dairy additive.
