Coffee Story
Description
The Sumatra was carefully roasted for you by Dillanos Coffee Roasters. This coffee acquires its distinct body and taste from a unique "wet hulling" method, also known as the traditional semi-washed process. This coffee was sourced from the coffee growing region of Aceh in Sumatra. This cup is full bodied, with intense earthy and herbal notes and a dark chocolate finish.

This coffee is perfect.

I really enjoyed this one.
3/18/2022
Another excellent coffee! I’ve had a few of DCR’s lighter roasts and they’re okay, but these dark roasts have been awesome!
8/26/2021
It was not bold enough - the flavor was too mellow for my taste.
4/2/2021
loved it
3/6/2021
Delicious, just how I like it. Rich in flavor, not too acid.
2/17/2021
Bold, but smooth. Not bitter.
2/10/2021
Really liked this one, it was exactly what I wanted a coffee to be. I only prepared this in a drip machine, so I didn't overly dwell on the tasting notes, but I was happy to drink this coffee every morning.
2/3/2021
Great coffee! Slightly too smokey for a daily drink.
1/27/2021
Loved it!!!

Delicious! Wonderful in the mornings.

I opened the bag for the first time and got an incredible dopamine rush just from the aroma. Everything I want in a Sumatra leapt out at me - the floral notes, the earthiness; it's all there, so I couldn't wait to try it. After four days of actually brewing it, though, I find the taste falls a bit short. It's really *not* all that full-bodied. It's got a thin mouth-feel, it doesn't linger at all past each sip. While it's not a bad cup, it's certainly not all I thought it would be from the reviews. For those who enjoy caffeinated coffee after a big meal, this might be better suited to that occasion, but it doesn't tick all the boxes towards what I'm looking for to start my day.

Was correctly roasted but needs more depth of flavor
12/30/2020
Pretty good. Earthy.
12/12/2020
makes an excellent cup of joe more of my morning type cup I didn't really notice any difference in taste from the semi washed process like I wanted and was hoping for
11/2/2020
The earthy flavor is amazing, mellow.
10/22/2020
Excellent
8/9/2020
Delicious and matched exactly my preferred taste.
10/13/2019
You have sent me this coffee almost 3 weeks in a row.
4/28/2019
Very good. Not as bold as I thought it would be, though. But still a winner.
1/10/2019
Great. Delicious.
11/28/2018
The flavor was weaker than I was expecting
10/27/2018
Very delicious; we can definitely taste the herbal flavors. Very good for a summer day. We would like to try a different brand than Dillanos.
9/4/2018
Really good. Dark and rich.
6/5/2018
A little too oaky for my liking, but enjoy the deep full body taste
5/28/2018
Nice bold full bodied coffee.
4/24/2018
Sorry I haven't been reviewing! Coffee was great! I loved the bold rich flavor. It was a perfect dark roast.
10/10/2017
Super gassy and very little flavor. It was also very thin, which surprised me given that it's labeled a "full bodied" coffee.
5/9/2017
this coffee had little taste
3/24/2017
As the description says "full bodied" without acidity. First cup today, great choice to start my gift subscription.
3/5/2017
I liked this coffee. I still like the Anodyne Honduras blend the best so far. Maybe a little to earthy?
2/19/2017
Wow - this coffee has a terrible/bitter aftertaste when used for an espresso drink.
Surprised at how bad it is. After a few drinks, we threw it out.

Upon opening the bag of Sumatra I was pleasantly surprised by the full bodied aroma and earthyness of this roast. The smell of the fresh ground beans only tempted me more. The best was yet to come as I tasted my first cup of this delicious blend. Definitely worth moving up to top notch on my coffee shelf at anytime of the day.
2/5/2017
Was so much better than I thought when I saw it was "Sumatra"...glad to know not all Sumatras are the same. Smooth not bitter, no aftertaste. really like it!
1/31/2017
I love how full bodied this coffee is. There are definitely some rich earthy cacao flavors, which i truly enjoyed.
1/23/2017
Conner! Thanks for the email reminder. I had to go make myself a cup so I could give a good reply. And I just had a cup of my favorite Unique Sumatra this morning, so it's still fresh in my mind. The Dillion is very, very good. I'd actually rate it a 4.7. Comparing it to the Unique, it lacks a bit of depth and complexity, but is very close. It holds the flavor well. (Lol, it's good cold when I take it to work and forget to drink it till it's cold). It's not bitter and has a nicely full flavor. I like it!
1/22/2017
Excellent. Very flavorful
1/13/2017
Good flavor, could be stronger, darker... (Beans look okay but flavor is still lighter than my normal preferences and thus I add more beans and longer in French press. I like strong, dark.)
1/7/2017
Tastes great once I made it properly
1/6/2017
This is morning two with the Sumatra blend and after adjusting the grind and amount of coffee for a little stronger brew my wife and I will do a little more adjusting to obtain a stronger cup of coffee, The aroma and overall taste is very pleasing. Just needs to be a bit stronger.
1/2/2017
Somewhat bitter but otherwise strong
11/26/2016
Delicious!
11/4/2016
Decent
9/29/2016
Good, rich and mellow-flavored dark roast.
9/5/2016
I liked the bold taste of this coffee.
7/29/2016
I really enjoyed this. It has a chocolaty nose and a tobacco finish.
5/30/2016
The coffee tastes too musky.
5/21/2016
I liked this the most, while Kathy thought the Black and Tan was the best.
5/8/2016
A little too roasty for my personal tastes, although it made a very nice latte one morning.
4/20/2016
This coffee was rich and bold. It tends to be more bitter than the Italian roast.. I usually prefer something a bit less bitter, but it really depends on the day. There are times when this one hits the spot. Both good choices.
3/29/2016
Roasty, toasty, and rich
3/24/2016
Perfect cup of rich dark/medium dark roast. Wonderful fragrance and taste, nice body.
2/24/2016
A delicious coffee, yet somehow still tastes a tad light to me. I like the flavours, but it seems to be missing that 5th star's worth of depth...
2/12/2016
Excellent full bodied cup of coffee.
2/9/2016
Decent, earthy.
2/9/2016
Good flavor, but a bit too heavily roasted for my tastes.
1/27/2016
Really enjoyed this coffee. Has a very noticeable chocolate bittersweet finish.
1/25/2016
Tasted burnt, like charcoal
1/24/2016
Great. Dark, balanced, smooth.
1/23/2016
Very god
1/22/2016
Pulls a great shot. Complexity that I enjoy. Didn't care for the after taste. Nice change of pace though. Gave it's flavors off with a punch in the face so to speak.
1/21/2016
It wasn't as smooth as I had hoped
1/18/2016
I prefer to drink my coffee black - to get the full flavor out of the bean. Almost as good as a Kenyan coffee I once had which is my preference.
1/17/2016
Aromatic, strong flavor. Good brew
1/5/2016
nice and smooth enoughlittle bitter at the end.
12/31/2015
Coffee was alright, too much of a dark roast for me. How do i change my flavor profile? I'm coming to realize that I may like more medium bodied roasts ;)
12/14/2015
Hell Connor,This Sumatra coffee was okay. The beans were very oily in comparison to some other coffees I've had. I'm not sure if that is due to the bag or the type of bean but just something I noticed.The taste of the coffee over all was just okay. Perhaps I could try something at the different ends of the spectrum of with less earthy notes and more flavors. I am interesting in trying anything else you might suggest.Please let me know if there is any additional information you may need. Just so you know I am using an Aeropress for my brewing with a Baratza Preciso grinder.Thank you,David
12/14/2015
Just above neutral on this one. It was decent but not a lot of flavor. It was good but not great. Not as bold as I like.
12/9/2015
Beans have a nice aroma, but does not translate into any depth or complexity of the coffee itself.
12/8/2015
This is a fantastic coffee. It has a full bodied, robust flavor that goes down extremely smooth. I've enjoyed most of the MistoBox coffees, but this one is hands down my favorite thus far. I hope they carry it in Decaf.
12/2/2015
I really enjoyed the full body and earthy tones of this coffee. The only reason I did not give it a 5 is because I felt like it could have more of a flavor profile, but because this is my first coffee (compared to the junk I was drinking previously) I do not have a good baseline to compare it to. I can imagine upgrading this to 5 stars after trying more coffees!
12/1/2015
Although medium-dark roasts are rarely in my cup, this bean provided an acceptable dosage of caffeine, and it was drinkable when I lightened it up with milk. As a brewer of lightly roasted beans, only an exceptional cup of a medium-dark roast could get a third star.
11/25/2015
Okay, I admit it...I was prepared not to like this one because I am not always a fan of Sumatra. However, Seth, my coffee curator, seemed to "get me" with this pick. The beans are almost black in color with a slight oily sheen. I smelled notes of smoke, chocolate and earth as I brewed my first cup. I really needed a coffee to wake me up today and the deep, smoky flavor did the trick. I've had several Sumatras that were not well balanced, but this was awesome. I don't know what the people at Dillanos are doing, but they always seem to get it right. Thanks, Seth!
11/20/2015
Smooth and wel balanced
11/14/2015
Nice aroma, good flavor. A little on the bold side for my taste.I prefer lighter roasts
11/10/2015
I enjoyed this coffee - Sumatra is my "go to" coffee. I would like to try different coffees though for the sake of variety (I was shipped two bags of this one and didn't realize if I didn't provide feedback that is what would happen - or am I mistaken).
11/4/2015
Excellent deep flavor.
10/30/2015
rich and delicious
10/26/2015
We love this coffee! Dana likes darker roasts and AJ likes French roasts, but this is a unanimous fave. We've been brewing with our new kinto and using a lower temp for the water - no bitterness at all. We love it! Looking forward to our next shipment!
10/22/2015
Delicious brew; extremely earthy and rich cup of joe. Would definitely buy again but excited for the next delivery
10/22/2015
A perfectly roasted fullbodied almost syrupy cup of coffee.
10/11/2015
This coffee not only smells good, it tastes awesome! The coffee is full of flavor and is an experience everyone should have!
10/10/2015
Bold, dark, earthy but not dirty. Not acidic or bitter. Excellent cup of coffee.
10/3/2015
Great tasting coffee. Very little bitterness and no complaints.
9/13/2015
I finally am using these beans. I really like the taste!
9/10/2015
Excellent, smooth coffee. Several family members have tried it and all gave it rave reviews. It is not bitter.
7/7/2015
This was OK, but a bit too light. Wonderful for a Sumatra, but we usually like a slightly bolder coffee.
7/6/2015
Not much flavor for a dark roast
7/5/2015
too herbal
6/30/2015
An amazingly delicious cup of coffee. I went from drinking only tea to looking forward to making a cup of this. I'll definitely buy more.
6/14/2015
Too dark of a roast
5/30/2015
Good full bodied coffee.I prefer a little lighter roast but I liked it.
5/26/2015
Good full bodied coffee. Used drip machine, but would make a good cold brew as well.
5/20/2015
Loved loved loved
4/28/2015
This one was fantastic, just a step behind the Metro French from Dillanos.
4/22/2015
This coffee is soooo rich and velvety. We LOVE this one!
4/21/2015
Very good. Full body. Excellent.
4/13/2015
Now THIS is coffee! Perfect roast. Full bodied flavor. One cup will thoroughly satisfy but make you want another
4/9/2015
I like this coffee, the smell is wonderful, but I've received it 4 times in a row an want more variety. That's why it only got 3 stars lol
4/8/2015
A nice oily bean makes for a wonderfully deep cup of coffee. A welcome brand and varietal in my kitchen.
3/27/2015
Much lighter than a typical dark roast. Chocolate notes and clean finish.
3/24/2015
I loved the Dillanos Sumatra, it is very bold and makes a good strong cup without having to use a lot of ground. Definitely will consider buying again.
3/24/2015
The coffee tastes overly bitter with most methods of brewing. My preferred way to brew this coffee is by drip with a lower water temperature. Even so, the bitterness is quite overwhelming, making it difficult to detect any other flavours.I've also tried to make a cold-brew from this coffee. The cold-brew has a very intense smoky flavour. Would work with milk but definitely not my favourite cold-brew so far.
3/20/2015
Great for espresso my first order. Completely different taste my second batch (not as good).
3/5/2015
I originally gave it three stars, but as I drank it more I liked it better. It has a good full flavor for espresso.
2/27/2015
I originally gave it three stars, but as I drank it more I liked it better
2/8/2015
Not my favorite. Do not like the "syrup" taste it gives. None of my roommates like it either :(
2/6/2015
Earthy is a good description. Rich and full-bodied, it made a delicious coffee for a winter morning. However, it could never be my full-time coffee.
