The best yet.

I was really excited for this one because the beans were so dark, but it lacked flavor. It worked in the caffeine department though!

Burnt and too smoky, oily. Not a bad coffee but for its price yes.
10/18/2020

Randy
Very smooth for a bold coffee!
9/30/2020

Henry
The beans were extremely old when I received the bag. This caused for a very bitter and acidic taste upon brew.
9/29/2020

Michael
Colectivo Coffee is always a safe bet, served at my local diner. I prefer the Toro for and even earthier taste but the Dark Sumatra is a solid dark and well worth it.
9/18/2020

Brad
It tasted burnt - super dark
9/15/2020

DAPHNE

I LOVED this coffee! I am a BIG fan! The darker, the better, as far as I am concerned!
9/10/2020

Barbara
Greasy beans and not tasty at all
9/4/2020

Monti
Kind of greasy when ground and too strong.
8/25/2020

Ashley
I don't like dark roasts, this almost felt over roasted. Very chalky - couldn't brew it beyond first time.
8/24/2020

Clay
This one isn’t my favorite. Roast seems burnt and overly dominates the taste. Difficult for me to pick up on any flavor notes beyond burnt.
8/3/2020

Dustin
Basic, nothing special
7/12/2020

Wayne
Outstanding!

Pretty decent a little bitter for me. but a good cup nevertheless
6/14/2020

Sam
Too much smoke, it'll put hair on your chest
5/21/2020

Oscar
Love it! Getting some keylime up front followed by licorice and long dark chocolate finish
5/17/2020

Bret
Terrible. Over roasted, oily and burnt, not smoky. Bad batch?

Laurent
This is more like it. Not sure what happened with the first batch but had to unload that as it was just bad. Thanks for this fine choice and please keep the rest somewhat similar.
5/15/2020

NICK
Was adventurous when I picked but realized I'm not a fan of the earthy / licorice flavor. Thankful this service allows experimenting with different kinds of coffee though.
5/11/2020

Holly
Loved this dark roast! Deep rich taste.
5/6/2020

Tobin
Earthy notes were a bit bitter
4/28/2020

Jeff
Too dark or acidic.
4/27/2020

Warren
Again, good coffee, but I'm starting to get the feeling I'm not a big fan of earthy. The Dark Sumatra Ratu Ketiara Gayo still my favorite.

Didn't love this one. It also is "sticky" and gets on everything.

Andrew
good dark coffee
10/4/2019

Scott
DARKEST, OILIEST
6/17/2019

Michal
All I could taste was the roast and very little underlying character of the coffee.
5/20/2019

Joe
I have enjoyed this coffee so far. Bold, dark, more earthy, caramel flavor. I like better than the fruity citrus flavored coffees.
5/7/2019

Beth
One of the best dark roast coffees I have ever brewed. The beans smell so very fresh!
4/3/2019

Connie
Way too dark. Tastes burnt. Clogged up my grinder. Tastes like a Starbucks coffee. Not good
3/6/2019

GD
Terrible, beans are very oily and very reminiscent of Starbucks coffee. Please don’t send these kind of coffee beans going foward. Thank you
3/3/2019

Miriam
Sumatra is my favorite. Ioved both Sumatra roasts. Do not want French roast.
2/13/2019

Ryan
Not my favorite. A lot more smokey than i would have guessed. I really enjoyed GOOD FOLKS Deep space blend, but this one is way too smokey. Feels like I'm drinking charcoal.
2/5/2019

Eric
Tasted really bad. The beans were shiny like most commercially roasted beans, would recommend removing from lineup.
1/4/2019

Sam
Too dark of a roast for my taste. Way too smokey.
9/21/2018

Paul
I love the variety and 99% of the coffees that are shipped to me every week, but this dark sumatra did not appeal to me at all. I’m not sure how to pinpoint it since I really enjoy dark roasts - perhaps the smokiness was off offputting. Colectivo Blue Heeler was also disappointing and had a similar profile.
8/5/2018

Antony
This one was too dark for our liking!
7/1/2018

William
Probably too dark a roast for my taste. It almost tastes burnt and it is hard to get past this and pick out the more subtle flavors.
2/10/2018

aaron
The coffee seems like it’s cheap coffee. This is 12oz when I believe the rest have been 8oz. The beans are shiny. It doesn’t smell great and it taste awful! I’d like a replacement for this one. I have never requested that before.
1/20/2018

Brian
Definitely tasted the smoky flavor, but not others on the profile. Was very smooth and easy to drink without cream and sugar. It was good, drinkable coffee, but I expected to be more impressed. I'm wondering if I didn't brew it strong enough. What is the preferred cup to tablespoon ratio for idea coffee in a drip coffee maker?
1/16/2018

Michael
Used to drink a lot of darker roasts but have been drinking lighter roasts for awhile now. Thought we’d try a darker roast again to change it up a bit - maybe it was just us but this coffee was almost undrinkable. Not at all a fan.
1/5/2018

Brian
This was totally undrinkable. I made the first pot for my extended family, and people literally spit it out. It was without a doubt the worst coffee any of us has ever tried to drink.

I had to throw away 90-95% of this package. It was absolutely drowning in oil, and was burnt to a crisp. It tasted like greasy charcoal, at best.

I'd like it if this package doesn't count against my total, in view of that it was a total waste that had to be discarded. Please let me know if there is anything you can do.
12/24/2017

David
Powerful. Bold.
12/19/2017

Brian
I absolutely love this dark roast. There are good notes that I can pick up easily, such as the smokiness mentioned in the notes. At the same time, there are other flavors that I am just learning to pick up and am working on, such as the licorice and molasses. More coffees like this one would be perfect, being a style I like (dark) and providing more depth as I learn more about flavor profiles.
12/5/2017

Frank
More of a burnt taste. Had to experiment with bean quantity to get a good tasting brew.
11/30/2017

Jason
Oily beans
11/22/2017

Jeremy
Way too dark for my taste, the beans are a shiny black. It comes across very earthy and bitter
11/21/2017

Corina
I had high expectations for this coffee, and it followed through!
11/16/2017

Betty
Very full bodied,smoky-just what we were looking for!
11/14/2017

Sean
This is a very dark, "jet-fuel" roast. I found it difficult to make out the different flavors. Would not drink again.
11/3/2017

Jeremy
I love the oily beans
