loved this coffee! wish it had slightly more balancing chocolate flavors to the citrus, but that’s just me being picky. i’m very new to the espresso game, but this was the best bag i’ve picked up from anywhere yet. i want to give it a 5, but i feel like i can’t do that with my first bag!

great taste profile and good flavor

This coffee is flavorful. Almost as if the coffee was sprinkled with berries and cocoa. I had cinnamon on my mixed berry yogurt this morning. So, I cleansed my pilate to make sure that wasn't where that delicate berry/cocoa taste was coming from. Granted I use a sweetener in my coffee. The cocoa flavor is so wonderful and delicious with a hint of berry. The bean aroma is dissipated somewhat once brewed. So, it's a nice smell that accentuates the nose/taste experience. Love this coffee. Glad I resubscribed to this service. I missed great coffee. EXCELLENT!!!!!!

Updating my review - I let this one rest a while longer, changed the temp to 202, and shortened the ratio to 1:2. I thought it was much better this way and had less overwhelming berries and was overall much more enjoyable. Even good as a cortado.

This one was an adventure. I enjoyed how different the notes were in this one compared to many other similar coffees. It’s full flavored berries and cream. Not your average medium roast. For my personal enjoyment I would normally rate around a 3+ but it was so different I had to rate it higher. Olympia changes this source up occasionally, my bag was the Ethiopia Abore Natural.

This is delicious! Makes a great latte!

Wasn’t a fan of this. Tried to dial it in, but kept getting way too bitter of a taste with no notes of any of the other things mentioned

Pretty good

[brewed as espresso] Not amazing. Very easy to dial in but I didn't get a lot of complexity. Nice body with good crema. Some strawberry on the front palate and dark chocolate on the back. About average for a blend but pretty poor for a single-origin.

Easy to dial in but lacking complex flavor. If this was a blend it would be acceptable but this doesn't shine as a single origin, even if it's a medium. I picked up chocolate and some strawberry with a full body, but I'm not loving it as a standalone espresso.

Beautiful. I get the berry vibe right away. Gorgeous crema and clean taste from the first sip to the finish.
2/10/2024
Good, easy to drink, but not super special. Seemed lighter than medium.
2/5/2024
I timed and weighed the extraction correctly. But it has an odd residual after taste to it. You can smell it after grinding too. Better than store bought. But not something I would buy again.

Wow—this was terrific. Chocolatey, well balanced espresso that also makes a nice cappuccino. I like the berry undertones but I like that it is not overly fruity.
1/3/2024
Absolutely delicious strong strawberry notes, as well a very slight accompaniment of choclate.

Didn't like the taste much. With milk, it felt too diluted, hard to feel the coffee. Also felt acidic at times.
8/26/2023
This is my every day coffee. So much so that I have a subscription with Olympia directly. The variety through the years has been astounding—fruity but balanced every time. Good on its own and great in milk drinks plus creative drinks like the espresso tonic. It’s my fave.
7/16/2023
This is my go-to coffee. Perfect on its own and with milk.
3/18/2023
A little too sour for my taste
2/20/2023
Wonderful!! Just smooth, mellow, not aftertaste - great cup of coffee, for either lattes or Americanos
1/23/2023
Smooth, mildly chocolatey. A little bland.
12/1/2022
nicely balanced espresso. just the right amount of bitterness.

I am revising and downgrading my rating from 3 stars to 1 star. I really expected to love this, but the more I drink it, the less I like it. The taste is too bright, acidic and fruity, to the point It makes me feel unwell. I prefer dark, rich smooth roasts with chocolate, toffee and or nutty notes.

Very nice to drink as an espresso or with milk. Really enjoyed. Medium roasted beans, balanced taste.
7/21/2022
Very aromatic on arrival. It was harder to dial in the grind for the first half of the bag. I had to grind much finer and dose higher compared to normal for a medium roast. However the second half of the bag was more normal. I did get a little of the chocolate note with some acidity, but I wouldn't say it tasted anything like cherry. My bag was coffee from Peru.

Probably my favorite espresso that I've gotten from Misto! Amazing flavors
5/24/2022
Very fruit forward but when we got it dialed in it was a very flavorful & nuanced cup
5/23/2022
I liked this one. It had good flavor and a distinct berry flavor, which was very nice.
3/20/2022
Strong notes of bourbon. Not something I want to wake up to. Otherwise smooth and balanced.
3/14/2022
Lots of fruity/cherry
3/10/2022
Felt a little light, the berry notes weren't a big hit.
3/9/2022
Omg we loved this coffee! Add this to the new regular rotation! It is definitely fruity and light and easy to drink. Super bright but not acidic at all.
3/3/2022
Very smooth. Enjoyed the taste.
3/2/2022
I love the notes and how smooth it was!

Delicious! Wonderful aroma

This is a good ethiopian coffee. Has a more bitter taste than expected, but still good. Pairs well with cream and sugar.

At first I didnt love the fermented taste but after a couple cups It grew on me. Still dont love it but its a nice change of pace
7/15/2021
This is a really well balanced coffee. I am partial to Ethiopians and this one doesn't disappoint. The chocolate flavor is definitely present I liked it a lot..
