Just OK
10/21/2017
A tad bit light for our tastes, but makes for a fantastic morning coffee! Definitely enjoy the flavor!
10/11/2017
Not as bold as I’d like
9/25/2017
very smoky and bold. not overly bitter. big finish.
8/30/2017
Decent. Could use more oomph but overall ok. Not distinctive, standard.
8/29/2017
Central South American coffee aftertaste. Not bold
8/21/2017
Very nice, smooth, dark cup of coffee to start the day.

Was the Goat Rock Roast Organic Blend better or worse? Much Better! I love this one
Was the color of the bean lighter or darker than what you typically enjoy?For my taste it was the perfect blend

Very good. Full bodied.

Enjoyed the nutty balance. Made for really good cold brew :)

It was fine.

I am enjoying it very much! I did move my grinder setting to the strongest setting to get a little deeper taste. There is no bitterness or oil.

2 shots pulled from a breville BES900XL dual boiler.
still trying to get measurements correct to reach proper bar pressure.
at 7 bars, crema is thick and very dark caramel in color.
flavor profile is a little bit burnt on the front, with definite citrus notes and bitterness.
i'm only tasting a slight roasty nutty flavor on the back end.
it's definitely dark as an espresso.
i don't own a regular coffee maker so i can't comment on that.

Loved it
3/19/2017
Nailed it! This is a perfect cup. It's an interesting blend of beans, so I was hesitant at first. However, they read did an excellent job getting the right mixture and roasting just right. More roasts like this would be awesome. I'm very satisfied!
3/11/2017
I was a big fan of this coffee. It's fairly dark, but not exactly pitch black. I don't know about its crossover factor — whether or not it would be acceptable for those who prefer a light roast — but as a dark roast drinker, it was quite enjoyable for me.
3/3/2017
Milder than I usually like, but super well balanced. Easy to drink!
2/27/2017
Smelled awesome. Good taste, not overpowering. Perfect for a regular, everyday morning cup.
2/21/2017
Very good; we could try an even darker bean if there is one. Thanks!
2/18/2017
Bitter
2/15/2017
I'm not a coffee connoisseur, but I have enjoyed this coffee.
Thank you.
Thank you.
2/13/2017
Good everyday cup of joe. Not too dark, but has full flavor.
2/11/2017
Good flavor, but very mild
2/7/2017
Not a bad roast, just didn't stand out.
2/4/2017
It was ok. Great smell! Maybe a bit bland for my taste?
2/1/2017
I really like this one. Super
fresh.
fresh.
1/29/2017
Beautifully balanced and smooth. Great everyday morning cafe because it goes with everything!
1/29/2017
Smells bad but brews alright, not very rich tasting. Wife thought it smells bad as well but brews good.
Thanks
Thanks
1/28/2017
I really like the darkness and taste of this coffee. It is a little on the bitter side, but I like it better than the first coffee. If this coffee had just a hint of caramel or something on the sweet side it would be even better. Thanks
1/27/2017
We liked this coffee though it was less full bodied or flavorful than what we are used to.
1/26/2017
Super smooth and nutty
1/19/2017
Our favorite coffee by far out of all the months we have received so far! GREAT!
1/18/2017
Definitely a well balanced roast. I prefer the boldness of this roast of this coffee vs. the previous coffee. The nuttiness comes through with a hint of chocolate.
1/17/2017
Would like a slightly stronger darker roast so we don't have to use so much
1/17/2017
It was good, but it was a little darker and a little roasty vs what I'm used to...
1/16/2017
Would like to roast to be slightly darker.
1/15/2017
This coffee is smooth, bold with dark beans that are a bit oily. There is little acidity - 1000x better than the blue heeler blend! It'd be awesome if the next batch were a bit more chocolatey, but this coffee was definitely in line with our taste in coffee! Thanks!
1/14/2017
hi Seth! it was pretty good but a little dark for my taste--i usually like coffee with citrus notes and lighter flavor profiles. These beans were dark and glossy--I usually buy beans that are light brown with no gloss--not sure if that makes a difference. Maybe I should try single origin? let me know what you think.
1/13/2017
It's delicious ! I look forward to a cup every morning :)
1/12/2017
This coffee is way too dark for my taste. I had indicated that I don't like dark roasts when I set up my profile so I'm not sure why this was sent to me. I intend on giving the rest of the bag away; I really can't bring myself to drink it unfortunately.
1/1/2017
It was good, but a little boring. I prefer darker, richer coffee.
12/29/2016
Really great coffee. Strong. Bold. Love it.
12/21/2016
Brewed very thin.. watery, almost straw like notes. Wasn't very impressed. I drink my coffee black. I need a robust, bold, darker, thicker consistency.
12/21/2016
Quite good
12/19/2016
so smooth and balanced! Loved this one!!
12/13/2016
The coffee was ok, but there was too much of an oily aftertaste that left a coat on my tongue.
12/7/2016
Very balanced. All the notes are great, but my ideal cup would additionally have some strong chocolate or earthy notes.
11/28/2016
Nice, dark roast organic coffee. Not a lot of nuance or subtlety, just a bold, robust, and rich flavor.
11/27/2016
Well balanced for sure - nothing "signature" about it, but definitely a treat still to look forward to. My less familiar coffee friends did enjoy a cup for it's very palatable appeal!
11/26/2016
I liked the coffee, I think maybe the nutty part of flavor detracted a little bit for me.
11/22/2016
I really enjoy dark roasted coffee, this blend was perfect. I recently purchased a Chemex and am so happy my first brew was with this delicious coffee.
11/14/2016
This coffee has a nice flavor but is not a dark roast in our opinion. I tried using twice as much ground coffee to make it richer but that doesn't even work. This should be classified as a light to medium roast. If you like dark you will be disappointed.
10/22/2016
Absolutely love it!
9/24/2016
If you want a plain good coffee look no farther. This will make a great pot of coffee no matter how you brew it, rather pour-over, press, or otherwise.In short; If you just want coffee that doesn't try to be anything else besides just a great cup of coffee, this is it.
9/24/2016
this tasted almost like stale cigarettes. for the first time ever, I didn't finish the bag. not a fan.
9/10/2016
Good flavor when really hot, but the flavor sort of "sours" as it cools.
9/8/2016
This is my second favorite coffee so far (1st was Equator’s Panther Blend). It proved to be a reliable, tasty and rich cup. With an Aeropress, it yielded a toasted, woody/nutty flavor. Delicious.
8/23/2016
This one is pretty good overall. I expected a little more from this one based on the roaster review, but it was a bit flat for me. I am still willing to drink it, but I just expected a bit more.
8/17/2016
Beat coffee I've had yet here. Great dark flavor. Very deep. No smoke. Rich and full.
8/17/2016
Enjoyed it. Strong and earthy, nutty.
8/16/2016
Great full bodied blend. Thoroughly enjoyed this coffee. My only criticism is that it was a little bit on the bitter side.
8/9/2016
Solid blend. Tastes great when brewed with a french press and stands up well to being mixed with cream. Nice rich flavor.
8/9/2016
I really like the taste of this blend.
8/1/2016
Very enjoyable. I really like the nutty flavor a and the smooth taste.
8/1/2016
Smells great, but the finish is weak, kinda muddy. I'm not loving it!
7/30/2016
Dark, robust with hints of chocolate. Loved it!
7/28/2016
These beans are wonderful, oily, rich, dark beans with a refined flavor - my favorite so far from Mistobox roasters.
7/21/2016
Very taste roast.
7/21/2016
I found this particular brew to be a little on the bland side. Perhaps I got a bad batch, it had a stale taste to it.
7/19/2016
did not have a strong enough coffee flavor or aroma for my taste
7/18/2016
Excellent dark, smooth blend - my new favorite!
7/16/2016
Very rich and bold overall great cup of coffee
7/14/2016
I'd give it a 3.5 if I could. It's tasty, but maybe just a bit earthy for me.
7/13/2016
This was a nice darker roast. It didn't punch me in the face, but I liked it!
7/10/2016
Best one yet. Dark roast - substantial working man's coffee. Sorry light roast citrusy loving hipsters. Keep it coming.
6/30/2016
Had a very good flavor to it. Very robust and good depth.
6/21/2016
More what I'm looking for. Full body dark roast. There's no floral taste, which I don't like. Good cup of coffee.
6/16/2016
Floral, high quality
6/6/2016
Dark
6/1/2016
Overall the coffee is smooth, but it's also unremarkable. We aren't into coffees that want to slap you in the face with flavor or aromatics, but this one seemed way too mild. It didn't really taste like coffee. But, it also didn't taste like dirt or other things that some of our other experiences have been.
5/28/2016
Very smooth and balanced with low acidity. Chocolate notes and roasted chestnut. This is a very good blend and I enjoyed it. I still like to explore other coffee profiles with more pronounced characteristics on the edges of the spectrum, but this is a great blend to return to after the exotic trip!
5/21/2016
Perfect dark roast blend. Smell is amazing and taste is perfect-strong yet not bitter at all.
5/21/2016
This has a nice flavor to it. Not too bitter and not fruity. Seemed like a smooth nutty flavor.
5/20/2016
Taylor Maid Farms Goat Rock Roast was a home run!! Two tastings. We both gave it a 5!! More like this please
5/16/2016
Good coffee for a daily cup but a little too plain for my liking. Flavor isn't bad but nothing really stands out about this coffee.
5/11/2016
Decent flavor but temperamental when extracting. Water temperature must be precise
4/30/2016
A little bitter on the finish
4/29/2016
Very balanced, not quite as oily as I usually like.
4/28/2016
Enjoyable, but could use a little more flavor power. Tasted almost strong enough, but a little too plain
4/26/2016
This coffee was delicious! By far the best I've gotten thus far. So, so good!
4/25/2016
Ok but could be darker and bolder
4/24/2016
I think this coffee is really good…not bitter, quite smooth, and tasty. If anything, though, I'd prefer my next coffee be more bold/dark. I don't like coffee so bold that it tastes like tobacco, but this one was just a bit too mild for me to LOVE it. :)
4/20/2016
The flavor is not complex, but it has a flat and solid smoky taste, and also pretty good crema for a regular espresso shot. That said, if you are a dark roast lover, this one would be a pretty safe experiment.

good start to my misto experience! i love rich dark roasts and this did not disappoint
4/19/2016
This was the eat one yet! Rich and bold.
4/14/2016
A little bitter and bland
4/7/2016
A very good subscription start! Definitely one-upped my last few purchases . . . waiting to be BLOWN AWAY by someone's coffee though . . .
4/3/2016
A little too bitter
4/2/2016
Beans were a rich, milk chocolate brown, and surprisingly oily given the medium roast coloring. Ground coarse, brewed in French press. Mouthfeel was light-medium, would have preferred something fuller/heavier. Smell and taste were quite earthy, a little nutty, not very robust, bold, or rich. Overall, rather middle-of-the-road.
3/31/2016
HOLY YUMMY YOLLEY!!!! FANTASTIC!!!!
3/16/2016
This is a pretty standard coffee. It's smooth, but lacks anything that makes it unique or me wanting more.
3/15/2016
a dark roast with a nutty flavor. A good single flavor coffee without complex flavors.
3/12/2016
Very good coffee, looked to be a blend of multiple roast levels. It seemed like more of a morning coffee, not dark but flavorful.
3/11/2016
all-around good coffee. medium roast. easy drinking with some bitter notes.
3/11/2016
loved it! Great flavor
3/11/2016
I liked this. It was very smooth and very dark. It didn't stand out as anything spectacular but nothing to complain about.
3/9/2016
Very smooth french roast, nice flavor overtones. Worked very well in both french press and espresso machine. Definitely enjoyed this one :D
3/8/2016
Very good "standard" breakfast coffee, the flavor is solid but not very adventurous. God starter though for sure
2/27/2016
Love this coffee. Bold but not better. Crisp finish.
2/26/2016
Taste was okay but very mild. It didn't have the nice punch of dark coffee I like.
2/25/2016
Bitter aftertaste
2/25/2016
Enjoyed the aroma of the coffee. The dark blends combine for a nice brew. However, the Sumatra taste in the blend has a bit of sour finish and I prefer coffees with a smoother ,bolder finish with less sour, acidic after taste. Rating 2.3
2/24/2016
Too dark!
2/16/2016
I liked this coffee a lot. Its dark its intense and makes great espresso. beans are bigger, dark and very oily. Finally I get a bag I really really liked and I am enjoying it a lot. There is no burnt after taste or anything that disturbs your taste buds.
2/12/2016
I will be reordering this one immediately and frequently. If you like a dark roast, this is the one to get. Side note: I've never seen a coffee bloom like the one this delivers. Mesmerizing.
2/10/2016
Super dark wonderfully rich!Perfect
2/9/2016
Mellow cup of coffee. Not as bold as I would have liked.
2/9/2016
slightly smoky, rich cup.
2/4/2016
"Simple and straightforward" pretty much sums it up. This would be safe to serve to a wide variety of people. I drink coffee to look forward to something, not play it safe. Good choice for a 2nd shipment, for the 3rd I want something darker and bolder please.
2/3/2016
Coffee had absolutely no flavor except for a slightly bitter finish. Also no body; as thin as drinking water it was steeped in. Were able to finish the Chicago House Blend despite not loving it, but this one we'll just be bypassing.
1/30/2016
Really enjoyed this. Good body and strength - maybe just a touch too bitter. Is it possible to also have the next one ground for a french press?thank you!
1/26/2016
I really enjoyed this coffee. The dark nutty flavor is not too chocolatey, and the richness is just right. I also found it easy to prepare with the flavors being consistent.
1/24/2016
Not bad, a little dark for me. The more I drink it though the better I like it!
1/24/2016
NIce, overall, taste and mouth feel. Good, simple, cup o coffee
1/21/2016
I liked this coffee. It is a dark rich coffee
1/20/2016
Not my favorite coffee, not bad, just not my favorite, very dark with a hint of something I didn't like that was almost acidic tasting? I needed to put milk in this one!
1/13/2016
So - there's a trend here. 3 five star ratings in a row! Even opening the package of the Goat Rock Roast Organic is a treat. The beans are black, rich, oil like and the aroma is seductive. Using a medium grind, the coffee swells up like a small volcano when the hot water hits. A spectacular brew. Full flavored bloom that lasts throughout the entire swallow. It hits the tongue smooth, but seriously full - and the aroma stays flavor full in the mouth after the drink. This is a spectacular find. Definitely a repeat.
1/10/2016
I like this coffee a lot. It has a subtle yet flavorful roasted nut flavor. Dark and rich.
12/31/2015
crowd pleaser! we love this one - tasty dark roast, good every time - every cup
