Beans too greasy, couldn't work well with my machine. Very bitter taste.

Awful. So dark. Yuck
2/26/2023
Really liked this one.
1/13/2023
Had to adjust typical bean/water ratios because this blend was especially strong. Wasn’t a favorite.
12/31/2022
Not my favorite, don't really like the herbal flavors
12/10/2022
Overall, a very nice and fresh tasting coffee. The nuttiness is very apparent, and some dark stone fruit or cherry notes hidden as well. Enjoyable coffee.
8/26/2022
a bit sour to my taste
7/16/2022
Nutty toasty dark comforting
5/26/2022
Great! Rich, no burned taste
5/1/2022
Smells and tastes great!
11/17/2021
really nice- not too strong, not too weak. I want to try this one in my moka pot to see how it does with espresso.
11/10/2021
Doesn't taste like a dark roast coffee.
10/29/2021
Enjoying this one a lot! Like a more complex dark roast
10/1/2021
Awful tasting. Had to throw out bag, my wife and I couldn’t stand it. Very acidic
9/1/2021
This was VERY dark roast which was lovely, but also very earthy. I think maybe my choice in cream had a negative impact but i did enjoy my time with DCR.
4/30/2021
Aroma! before even opening it. Could def taste the sage, but wasn't over powering.. Couldn't taste the anise (which I actually prefer).
4/13/2021
Good flavor, but not our favorite. The spice flavor was interesting.
3/2/2021
Tasty
12/31/2020
Like all other DCR coffees I've received from you all this one is terrible for espresso. It is way to oily, and spits grinds.
That said, I REALLY appreciate that you (Connor?) have been responsive to my feedback, and have loved most of the new coffees you've sent. Keep it up!

It's good but the beans are rather oily. It is creamy though.
11/24/2020
do not like the flavors of anise and and sage. too bitter. preferred my last coffee much more
10/20/2020
Very good
10/20/2020
Like this coffee a lot. second fav to the west coast coffee
9/21/2020
Again good coffee. I think we like the bold Carmel notes better!
8/4/2020
Bold without being over-the-top. When we think solid coffee, this is the kind of taste we look for.
7/24/2020
I’m totally in love with the herbal notes in this coffee. I loved how full of flavor this roast was.
7/5/2020
This coffee goes great with my chocolate almond milk.
7/4/2020
Delicious sipping coffee. Even my wife who typically uses flavored creamers would drink this black. Excellent coffee and would 100% order this one again to have in regular rotation. I can see why this roaster has won awards, they know what they're doing.
6/30/2020
Really nice balanced cup
6/18/2020
This coffee tastes great. It’s not as strong as the last coffee but still very good. It’s not acidic and the nutty flavor really comes out.
6/16/2020
I really liked this coffee. I enjoyed the earthy tone of the coffee.
5/26/2020
Loved this... Subtle hints of flavor well after swallowed
4/2/2020
Nice breakfast blend
1/11/2020
Like the nutty flavor
12/18/2019
Not a fan, something tastes “off”.
11/18/2019
Not a fan - relatively mild flavor but it tasted burnt.
7/11/2019
Very mild flavor and aroma.
6/25/2019
Flat and tasteless. Very disappointed with very little character.
3/14/2019
This one is not terrible, but I am really not a fan of the anise notes that it has. This is the second one from this brand that I have tried and I don't think I would purchase this brand again on my own.
3/14/2019
Way to dark for me. I was concerned upon opening and visually inspecting based on how oily and dark the beans appeared in the bag. After drinking multiple cups/pots, I can’t seem to taste anything and would classify as tasting burnt and over roasted.
I would like to steer clear of anything that approaches this level of roast in the future.

Nearly 5 stars for me. Rich, roasty, and complex. Definitely taste the nutty and spice notes. Just a tad bitter, but overall pretty darn good.
1/3/2019
Love it just as much as the Kickapoo! Dark but full of flavor.
11/19/2018
Very interesting aroma and favor, you can really smell the herbal notes. I enjoyed this coffee. I didn't really taste the nutty in this one.
11/15/2018
Bitter
11/14/2018
It was very fresh, smelled wonderful, brewed up smooth. I enjoyed this coffee for its good flavor black, or even with a splash of cream. Dark enough but not so dark that it was burnt tasting. A great coffee
11/9/2018
My favorite so far.
11/7/2018
Great flavor. Wish the roast was a little darker.
9/23/2018
Greatest cup of coffee ever!!
9/7/2018
Delicious!
8/28/2018
Delicious!!!
8/23/2018
Ok, not great.
8/19/2018
Fabulous. Rich, smooth, full flavored. Don't taste the herbal or nutty notes so much. More toward the chocolate end. Going to revisit.
8/14/2018
This coffee was a little strong for us. We liked the Anodyne House blend better.
8/14/2018
It’s good if I put one less scoop in the grinder than I normally do
8/14/2018
We found it a little strong.
8/13/2018
Really bland / not my first choice
8/6/2018
It was ordinary with nothing distinguishing about it. It taste like typical store bought coffee.
7/12/2018
Full flavor
6/7/2018
Great - but not an everyday coffee. Full bodied and bold.
6/3/2018
Very dark and nutty.
5/8/2018
This coffee wasn't bad.
4/23/2018
Nice flavors; I enjoyed it. But I'm looking for something darker, earthier and more full-bodied still. I think it's time to move to true dark roasts. I've enjoyed expressos in the past and I love french roasts. Send me your favorite in one of those categories and we'll give it a try. Thanks!
3/21/2018
Definitely my favorite so far! Would be interested in trying something similar with caramel notes possibly.
3/6/2018
Too roasted, very oily beans.
3/1/2018
Enjoyed the boldness. Would like a more nutty, caramel or chocolate flavor. But I also like to be surprised each month. I have not received any over the last couple years that I did not like.
2/26/2018
Hi
I liked it and find it consistently good. If I had one criticism it would be that it is slightly reminiscent of Starbucks. For me that's not a great quality. I only include this though because it's just a hint of that...I had to think on it a while to figure out what it reminded me of. Hope that's helpful.

2/26/2018
Not very satisfying. Kind of bitter and uninteresting. Much preferred coffee #1
2/21/2018
Just ok, it had kind of an ashy finish. Maybe a blend would be better for me.
2/21/2018
It was too bitter and one note tasting to me.
2/20/2018
This is a good coffee, but the roast is quite dark and oily. It is excellent if that is the type of coffee you like. I simply mention it because it would be hard to classify this as a medium roast, which I believe it is. Overall the flavor is nice, very nutty, and robust.
2/20/2018
very good!
2/19/2018
Great flavor, full bodied.
2/15/2018
Good flavor, I liked this one a bit better than my the Anodyne and Intelligentsia. I'm thinking that I'm tending to like DARKER roasts at this point.
2/12/2018
Didn't love.
2/12/2018
Decent depth and body. Flavor is smooth and inoffensive, but not particularly interesting.
2/10/2018
Very good!
2/10/2018
I was excited how oily and dark the beans were out of the bag but the excitement stopped there. The beans did not have much of an aroma that hits your nose when you open the bag. The roasting seemed to dark and almost burnt, which really took away from enjoying the flavor of the coffee. I did enjoy the subtle nutty notes but it was over powered by the "burnt" taste. The coffee was a little acidic for my stomach too. I really wanted to like the roast but after tasting it 5 days in a row found myself not looking forward to drinking it. Bummer.
2/9/2018
Good Coffee. Preferred Good Folk Day Tripper Blend myself but still liked enough that I would buy again.
2/8/2018
I did not care for the Coffee #2. I like the first round of coffees much better. I tend to like the dryer coffee beans vs. the oily coffee beans.
2/5/2018
Wasn't too happy with the first coffee but this made me yearn for the first. Too oily beans made me think a mistake was made with the production of this coffee. Initial taste was exactly like a Dunkin' Donuts Turbo Shot. I did enjoy the aftertaste of this coffee.
2/5/2018
Really enjoyed this coffee. I prefer medium roast and my wife prefers dark. This was a nice compromise. Great flavor. Not too acidic. Balanced.
2/4/2018
This is a VERY good roast and the notes and mouth feel are great as well. Really happy with this coffee!
2/2/2018
Medium dark roast. Has some darker tones upfront but is well balanced and drinks well all day, Might have popped more if roasted a little less.
2/1/2018
I liked this coffee about as much as I did the first two. The roast level could've been more bold, though. I did not notice any significant tasting notes, either. This coffee was more on the light side in terms of characteristics, and could have more flavor to it.
1/30/2018
A bit dark for my taste, but a good darker roast.
1/28/2018
The flavors complimented each other well, and was smooth to drink down to the last sip. It reminds me of a crisp fall morning. It was more bold than the first coffee I received. I would like to try something similar to a medium-dark roast, but not with a strong nutty tasting note.
1/28/2018
This coffee was incredibly smooth to drink. All of the flavors complemented each other well, especially the subtle hints of nutmeg and cinnamon. There was no bitterness and was easy to drink down to the last sip. The smell of the coffee beans and taste reminded me of a fall morning.
1/28/2018
Very good. Slightly mild for my taste, but it grows on you and I was sorry to see it gone. Would enjoy drinking this again.
1/25/2018
Loved the depth of this one.Smooth and toasty nut finish. Great to start and end the day with.
1/22/2018
Very nice brew. Smooth full body, no bitter after taste. Very enjoyable coffee.
1/11/2018
Fine. Generic? Like coffee I'd get a nice restaurant. I want more depth.
1/9/2018
Surprised me. As a rule, I have liked herbals less than this one. Three scoops of this with one scoop of Sbux French roast is really good!
1/6/2018
This is not a medium roast. The beans are dark and extremely oily, and intensely bitter when brewed. Perhaps this batch is a dud?
1/5/2018
Enjoyed the bean but it didn't have a "wow factor".
12/20/2017
Good coffee
11/6/2017
Great flavor
8/28/2017
Wasn't the most flavorful coffee, but it was smooth and had character. Overall very drinkable.
8/21/2017
LOVE IT
6/19/2017
Not very smooth. It tasted over roasted.
4/29/2017
Most Starbucks-like yet. Just wasn't good in drip, pourover, or French press.
3/8/2017
Labeled as a medium roast, but it was quite dark for my taste. Definitely not my favorite.
3/2/2017
This is not what I think of as a medium roast. Beans were black and very oily. I'm honestly surprised it was picked considering what my preferences were set at.
2/26/2017
This coffee didn't have any spunk. It was a mild coffee. It was ok but it didn't suit my taste as outstanding.
12/8/2016
Too dark for my tastes. Not sure if herbal notes and spices are the kinds of flavors I'm looking for either.
10/19/2016
No specific notes - not as strong of a flavor as previous coffees we've had.
9/25/2016
Very spicy and earthy. Somewhat burnt taste and very savory. I think a lighter coffee, with fruity\floral\chocolate notes will be more to my liking
9/12/2016
least favorite so far. very acidic tasting
7/25/2016
Good balance as its described but would like it to have a bit more flavor to it
7/16/2016
DELICIOUS. Preferred in a french press. Dark roast with subtle intensity, makes the boldness enjoyable far past the first cup. The deepness of the flavor, a chocolate under tone, it livens the taste buds!!
6/19/2016
We really did not prefer this roast. We could not taste any interesting flavors in it. It kind of all blended together.
5/23/2016
The taste is too bitter, like it might have been roasted too long. The spice profile is muddled by bitterness.
4/23/2016
My boyfriend was not a fan of this one at all. We made it in the chemex and the French press and weren't super impressed with either
3/30/2016
My wife didn't like the spice notes. I thought it was an interesting coffee to explore.
3/30/2016
Smooth with subtle nutty and spice, delicious
3/13/2016
Did not enjoy this bag and most if it is still sitting in the cupboard untouched. It had a burnt flavor, reminiscent of Starbucks and a bit of ash/tobacco. Couldn't stomach it and so disappointed the whole bag is going to waste. :(
3/8/2016
I like the richness of this coffee, but it has a sour taste.
2/12/2016
More darkly roasted and oilier than we usually like but still very well balanced and lacking any of the over-roasted qualities I expected when I first looked at the beans. Would definitely enjoy again!
1/29/2016
The beans were wet and I guess because it was a washed coffee, but not real sure...it seemed odd. The flavor was good
11/15/2015
This coffee was a little to bitter for my taste. I would have to say for someone that likes something with a more spicy flavor this would be great just not what my palette likes.
11/3/2015
Roast seems to dark while coffee brews weak. Flavor is more bitter than I like.
10/5/2015
To be quite honest this was not my favorite. Even though it was of a darker roast it was somewhat bitter and lacked... something. Not very round or smooth and couldn't quite figure this one out. I tried playing around with the coarseness of the beans, and different brewing methods with no further success.
9/22/2015
It has a good flavor but it has a pretty strong aftertaste... I tried using a bit less coffee but it was just washed out
8/18/2015
This is a pretty good medium roast, but to be honest it's not something that I would ever actively seek out to purchase again.
8/7/2015
Good, but didn't blow me away. The taste just didn't match up to the incredible aroma. I usually brew my coffee on medium but had to go "strong" to bring out the flavor in this one.
8/1/2015
A pretty good brew that reminded me of a Guatemalan that I enjoy. Not too shabby for my first experience.
7/12/2015
great coffee!
6/10/2015
This coffee has a very mild, full body taste. It's a medium roast by all measurable characteristics. It has a very full body, with a nice earthy, nutty, undertone. I used a French press for preparation as it's not an espresso roast, nor do I have access to a Chemex at this point in time. The blend has the overall taste of a South American roast. The roast isn't perfect though, as it does have a faint muddy taste, but this could also be due to my brewing method. Overall it's a solid medium roast, however, it is by no means something I will probably order again, nor seek out.
