I like coffees with that bold smoky essence
7/11/2021
Great flavor
4/23/2021
Was good, appreciated the roundness but overall unremarkable
4/7/2021
Very bitter no matter how hard I tried to dial it in. Smoky tasting, felt burnt as wel
4/3/2021
a little oily
3/14/2021
Amazing! Bold but subtle flavor and such a smooth taste overall.
2/4/2021
This is one of my favorites. There is a prominent smokiness (but not the only taste), with a dark, rich flavor that is not too thick or heavy in body. It doesn't strike me as tasting sweet, yet there is some sweetness. Very good.

Started off good but was very bitter. My husband didn’t like it much. I wouldn’t purchase again.
8/13/2019
Too acidic. Please do not send me this coffee anymore.
6/18/2019
Very good french roast, with a nice nutty finish. Has a nice bite to it.
5/20/2019
I do not care for this coffee. Please remove from my rotation. Thanks
2/1/2019
Most roasty so far
1/18/2019
Favorite so far, not as smokey
12/22/2018
Great coffee. Sweet (not overly) and warm without taking away from the beauty of ‘regular coffee’
11/5/2018
This is usually one of my favorite coffees but this bag is extremely bitter. I made two pots and it was very bitter both times. Hopefully it’s a one off.
10/21/2018
We love this. It is our number 1
7/24/2018
not as smooth as some of the others i've received
7/12/2018
Tasty cup, but missing something. Well rounded, but laid back.
6/7/2018
Great. I love this...
6/6/2018
not bad
6/1/2018
Didn't seem to have much flavor or body to it. We tried increasing the amount of coffee, but it didn't help. Not much there there, I'm afraid to say.
5/30/2018
Super dark, almost burnt flavor. Not my favorite, but not terrible either.
5/23/2018
My wife and I thought this coffee was too smokey.
5/5/2018
Pretty OK. not a whole lot of additional flavor outside of coffee.
4/16/2018
This was great
4/14/2018
Rich smoky flavors
3/25/2018
The coffee itself s good. Smooth and smoky, but the seal on the bag is a pain and doesn't work. Taking from the whole experience.
3/11/2018
This is a good full body coffee, very light in bitterness and low acidity. I have brewed with chemex, clever, and espresso machine. The tasting notes they claim are accurate: notes of molasses and pecan are well defined the finishing notes: I might be picking up the caramel but its light. The smokiness is light to medium. Overall this is a good french roast and a pleasure to drink.
3/11/2018
Rich flavour, delicate caramel notes. I would try this again.
3/1/2018
Not my thing. Good notes. Too light for me
2/22/2018
Like the dark, smoky flavor that has some sweetness. One of the best coffees I have had.
2/17/2018
It's was ok. But very simple flavor profile.
2/3/2018
Smells great. I pick up caramel and roasted scents. I taste nutty, pecans, and a bold finish.
1/12/2018
Great flavor
12/29/2017
Wowza is this one dark and smoky!
11/17/2017
This was my favorite coffee so far. The bold, smoky taste really resonated.
10/18/2017
Really good dark, flavorful coffee. Bold, slightly smoky, and with noticeable caramel hints. I really enjoyed this coffee. I was a little nervous feeling the beans through the outside of the package because they seemed hard and pebble-y like the consistency of a light roast, but I was pleasantly surprised when I opened it to find nice dark, oily and aromatic beans. Overall, quite enjoyable.
10/7/2017
Very rich and flavorful. The roast is nice and holds up to creamer. Do not like the smokey aftertaste at all. We tend to like a rich, nutty and creamy flavor profile without smoke and this has a very smokey finish.
9/5/2017
This is great strong coffee.
8/20/2017
Good smoky cup of coffee, maybe a hair darker than I prefer
8/16/2017
This is what I was looking for in a coffee. The smoky and caramel flavors are present without being overpowering. I would love more coffees like this one
8/14/2017
I don't think I like this brand of coffee. The description sounds beautiful but the taste just isn't there.
7/29/2017
Fantastic. Full-bodied. Excellent with a bit of cream. The smokey caramel notes are to die for.
7/17/2017
Favorite so far!
7/15/2017
Wonderfully smoky and has a cocoa flavor to it. I could drink this every day!
7/12/2017
Absolutely love this coffee! This has that nice dark roast taste I look for and finishes up with an awesome smokey flavor. I joined Mistobox to find gems like this one, Samantha thank you for listening to my feedback and finding me an amazing coffee!!!
7/5/2017
Mild but nice flavor.
7/5/2017
Excellent. Not overwhelming caramel, syrup taste. Good in a drip.
6/13/2017
It smells amazing and I love that it comes in a resealable bag, but on brewing, regardless of style the flavor falls a little flat for me
6/11/2017
Um wow. I needed this dark, nutty, delicious roast in my cup this morning. Had to bring the temp down to about 89C, and absolutely loving this.
6/8/2017
Delicious! Flavorful with a smooth finish.
6/4/2017
Very bitter. I've even tried brewing this through a Chemex with their filters that guarantee no bitter coffee. Still bitter. This coffee would be great if it weren't so bitter. It does have a nice bold flavor and you can taste the nutty roast a little, but the bitterness overwhelms all of that.
6/2/2017
A good, solid coffee that I could drink every day, but it's not magical.
6/2/2017
This coffee is robust and we are enjoying the blend
6/1/2017
rather boring
5/29/2017
Excellent balance of bold and flavorful.
5/23/2017
Amazing dark roast
5/21/2017
Good base coffee flavor but not much that distinguished it for me after that.
5/18/2017
I liked the first coffee better. The French roast had a bolder flavor-- I liked its richness. Hidden city was more sour than acidic. I felt it was neither very burnt or roasty. I am interested in a dark coffee with more intensity.
5/14/2017
Love the dark flavor and rich notes!
5/10/2017
We didn't feel like this lived up to the tasting notes. We had high expectations after reading the notes but the actual flavor fell a little flat.
5/5/2017
Nice bold but rich flavor, nice aroma
4/28/2017
Solid coffee. Good flavors.
4/24/2017
Hi Seth. I like the coffee, but perhaps it was a little on the sour-side. I think I've got a low-tolerance for that, hence the cream or milk. Let me know if you have specific questions about my experience.
4/11/2017
I like the previous beans, french roast, a little better. This may be too smoky for my taste. Still enjoying!
4/11/2017
love this!
3/27/2017
Lacking flavor, little too smoky
3/22/2017
Excellent bold coffee
3/14/2017
not as good the 2nd time, hard to dial in the brew strength
3/10/2017
This a solid everyday dark roast. It isn't my favorite, but it is pleasant.
3/7/2017
Smooth, chocolatey and rich without being bitter. Great as cold brew.
3/6/2017
I enjoyed this coffee. The nutty flavors were quite nice. The slight sweetness from the molasses and caramel was different and enjoyable.
3/6/2017
Love it! I've been a subscriber for over a year and first time I've wanted to order more!!
3/3/2017
I don't care as much for the nut flavor. overall enjoyable coffee.
2/26/2017
Excellent full flavor. Nice smoke without being overpowering. Rich caramel. Just a well rounded and full flavored coffee
2/23/2017
This was good. Not great. the Dillanos was really nice, this was good. I was able to get consistent shots and the crema was really thick... just didn't like the flavor quite as much as the first coffee (Dillanos). I think the roast was a little too dark for me. i tended to taste only the roast but wasn't able to pick up on many of the coffee flavors, like I was with the Dillanos.
2/21/2017
Enjoyed this one okay. Thanks.
2/14/2017
Great taste, but doesn't hold up well against cream and sweetener.
2/14/2017
I am enjoying this pick quite a bit. It tastes as described. Bolder, heavier lots of mouth feel. I'm satisfied after the second cup.
I'm going to try using a bit less coffee in the brew and see how that goes.
I would probably enjoy a coffee that is between the last two, but this one can certainly be repeated.
