Berry and stonefruit seem the most abundant when brewing it as a pour over, but felt a bit weak to me. However, started brewing it with aeropress with a metal filter and was able to retain the berry flavors while adding a bit of darker roast character, but I would not describe it as chocolate. I feel like I need to experiment with it a bit more, but I definitely like the berry flavors it has.

It nearly killed my burr grinder, but my goodness what complex fruit undertones. 5 stars, all day!

Great way to start off my subscription. Lots of attention to detail on this coffee. It’s real good

Kind of boring. I wish it had more brightness/acidity. I'm not sure if those are the correct words. The character that a good espresso has, or that is present in Nespresso pods but missing in Keurig pods.
I'm mostly brewing with the Aeropress currently, but for this one I switched back to french press.
I ended up getting Good Coffee's new Peru blend locally https://goodwith.us/collections/coffee/products/peru-yanacocha which I am enjoying a lot more.

Excellent coffee! Nice balance of sour and sweet notes. Extracting at 2:1 since it’s a lighter roast.

Maybe want to try something a little darker. But this was very smooth

Great espresso.

Wonderful smell, great espresso!

I usually don’t like light roasts, but the Buddy Blend is excellent. It is why I keep adding it to my Brew Queue.

makes a great complex cup of coffee
9/24/2021
It is very watery, needed to use a lot of beans to get it to the consistency I’m used to
9/11/2021
very flavorful and pleasant! i love the fruity notes and intricacies.
8/23/2021
The up front taste was full bodied and delicious! I found there to be some bitter, harsh notes on the end that took away a little bit from the up front taste.
7/25/2021
The flavor notes were excellent. I brewed this with a Hario V60 pour over and at first sip my words were "oh wow" Great blend!
7/20/2021
To dark for me. Was not able to grind fine enough
3/23/2021
Pretty good. Bright flavors. Tastes great.

Rich chocolate notes in espresso. Had troubling pulling out some of the fruit flavors
9/22/2020
Great mix of the classic stone fruit flavors of a natural Ethiopian coffee with a little more earthiness. Definitely will get again.
7/12/2020
Very enjoyable
5/31/2020
Delicious and light and smooth with a still very interesting amount of complex flavors.
4/12/2020
Really nice fruit with a well balanced roasted chocolate complexity. Made in chemex but would be good for espresso as well.
3/27/2020
This was a very good coffee. I know this isn't the right word to describe coffee; but malty comes to mind.
2/21/2020
Some nice bold tastes with subtle hits of chocolate.
1/19/2020
Love it! Smooth and drinkable. Nutty
1/18/2020
Delicious! We were so surprised how good this coffee turned out to be. An excellent start to the Mistobox subscription. :)

Made my first espresso using this blend. Fantastic flavor. No aftertaste. A touch of sharp tartness. Complex flavor. Not bitter. Flavor can vary depending upon brewing variables, but I love it using my own technique.
1/5/2020
Very strong coffee fruit flavors, weak/nonexistent chocolate notes. Very little bitterness, very bright acid notes. Almost a dessert. Lack luster black, but excellent with a splash of milk and some sugar (New England Regular). One of the best coffees with a side of vanilla ice cream I've ever had.

Bitter aftertaste
8/25/2019
Well balanced with wonderful fruity notes. Really enjoyed as it cooled!
4/15/2019
This is a nice everyday coffee. It is easy to drink.
3/26/2019
Well balanced and aromatic. The fruity notes are much more forward than the chocolate ones. Lovely and comforting cup served hot. Would also probably make a great cold brew, with the aromas.
3/22/2019
My least favorite of all the coffee I have recieved so far. Flavor fell flat for me.
3/21/2019
Nothing notable just ok
12/9/2018
Not my favorite.
9/21/2018
This coffee was just undrinkable. No coffee flavor--the taste was muddy. We made two cups on our espresso maker and quickly put the rest of it aside. This was the worst coffee we have ever had.
8/19/2018
A delightful cup not just for the initiated. Fruit forward with hints of chocolate. Can drink daily.

This was a very good roast for the house, since my wife (who has very different taste in coffee from my own) also liked it. That said, it didn't reach the very high bar set by the first two coffees I was sent (the El Gallo Organic Breakfast Blend and the Epiphany House Blend, both of which I *LOVED*). I enjoyed Little Buddy's fruity notes, but would have preferred a richer, fuller coffee flavor behind those notes. Still, a great selection. Keep it coming! :)
6/20/2018
One of the best coffees I've tried in recent memory
5/30/2018
Fruity notes stood out which made the coffee better as I drank more of it.
