Rob
"Tastes of tobacco" enough said.
3/21/2023

Nick
Too dark, do not send again
3/16/2023

Corey
Deep, rich flavor. One of the beat coffees I've ever tasted!
2/25/2023

Kathryn
Fav, mom likes too
2/22/2023

Tanya
Nice dark roast, but certainly not "double dark" - at least, compared to the previous coffee that I tried (Double Black Diamond from Evans Brothers), - so I found it a little underwhelming.
2/14/2023

Tracy
This is a a dark roast. I feel like I am home drinking mud water. I love this.
2/3/2023

Jennifer
This is excellent. It was very toasty and dark. The boldness is what we are looking for.
1/26/2023

Linda
Admittedly I haven’t tried it yet but the description sounds terrible. I’m not a fan of dark roasts, and I detest tobacco.
1/4/2023

Zachary
Amazing, dark as hell, smoky, roasty- perfect. Only the Velo is better.
11/2/2022

Drew
WAY too dark. Kinda tastes like a cigar.
10/30/2022

Dakotah
Too oily. Beans were too big for my auto espresso machine, had to stir beans every brew.
10/20/2022

Jeff
Great dark flavor. Wonderful for drinks with added flavors or blended.
9/22/2022

Catherine
Dark and oily beans, nice flavor.
8/22/2022

Susan
Coffee good but STATIC!
7/30/2022

Phillip
A bold, full-bodied blend with a nice smoky taste.
5/18/2022

Michelle
One of the members of my household doesn’t like this one! :(
5/3/2022

Horace
Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy tooooooooooooo dark for my medium tastes.
4/30/2022

Allie
Not a fan of the tobacco taste, tasted like cigarettes.
4/29/2022

Forrest
Bold dark smoldery flavor that stands strong on its own or balances well with milk
4/27/2022

Matthew
Not good for espresso or cold brew. Very oily with overpowering unpleasant notes
4/12/2022

michele
This was rather good. While I don't normally like the smoky flavors, this was well balanced. The smoky notes complemented rather than detracted from the overall flavor. Made for a nice bold cup of coffee.
4/3/2022

Andrew
Sorry- this one is not for me. Tastes like a combination of a good French Roast and licking a dirty ashtray.
3/17/2022

JM
Love the boldness of this coffee, The smokey flavor combined with the chocolate undertone makes for a delicious cup of coffee,
3/16/2022

James
This one has been tough to dial in. It's very strong and often comes out quite bitter. The flavors are good but have been tough to get right.
3/7/2022

Selina
LOVED it. As someone who's constantly looking for a smoky dark roast with the least acidity possible, one of my favorite cups of coffee I've ever had.
2/3/2022

Jessica
Not a big fan of the extreme smokiness of this one. It made the bitter hints of the coffee stand out too much to be pleasant.
1/23/2022

Mary
loved it
1/21/2022

John Mistobox
Makes a decent espresso. For me who typically does not like overly smoky flavors but am not repelled by bitterness, this was probably a bit too dark for me, with an overall charred character that wasn't very subtle.
1/20/2022

Brad
The smoky roast into the chocolate finish is quite nice. Remind me of coffee with a cigar.
1/5/2022

John
This is my favorite Dark roast coffee that I have tried from MistoBox.
10/29/2021

KUSH
Great Body and flavor.
9/15/2021

Edward
OK, nothin' special.
9/9/2021

Caitlin
too smokey
7/17/2021

David
Pretty good dark roast! Lacked a bit of depth and flavor but I wouldn’t turn down another bag. Definitely solid all around.
5/16/2021

Sarah
Really enjoyed this one! Great for cold brew.
5/16/2021

Jessica
Dark and smoky, just the way we like it
4/29/2021

LeahAnn
It was ok. A bit boring to be honest. No flavors really popped in my opinion.
4/26/2021

Steve
Nice bold flavor with the right amount of bitterness. A little tricky to dial in the grind ... causing high expressing pressure.
4/24/2021

Joel
Solid
4/22/2021

Victoria
Not a fan of this kind. Didn't love the smokey flavor.
4/12/2021

Lily
I used this for espresso and loved it. The smokey flavor is right up front and it finishes very smooth. Prefer to drink black to get the best taste.
3/29/2021

Andrew
Great! Smell was weird but tons of flavor
2/26/2021

Spencer
Too smokey for me!
2/25/2021

Don
Very Rich, Bold Flavor, a little to oily for my grinder. However with that said I would order this one again. Really enjoyed the flavor.
2/5/2021

Danielle
I like intense and bold.
2/4/2021

Kandace
Love the dark roast!
2/2/2021

Elaina
Upon receiving this coffee the bag noted tobacco flavors and I thought "oh no this is going to be gross". It smells strongly of tobacco BUT once we brewed this, it instantly became my favorite coffee ever. It is smooth and almost velvety. Pairs perfect with sweet Italian cream. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who enjoys a dark brew.
1/17/2021

Margie
There was no flavor! It is very fragrant, yet the taste is lacking.
1/15/2021

Breanna
A little too dark for me I think, haha .. but mellows out with some creamer.
1/10/2021

Noel
THIS IS IT! I think I've finally found "my coffee".

Most perfect in every way. Dark... Bold ... Balanced... Great finish
12/29/2020

Alon
It was good but didn’t blow me away the way it did others. Also note that this is a *very* oily bean for those with sensitive grinders.
12/18/2020

Jessica
Excellent smell and good bold flavors.
11/11/2020

Devan
When I smelt and drank this coffee, the smokey flavor and smell was, almost breathtaking. But not in the way I would have liked, haha. We drank it and I read on the description that it had a smokey and tobacco like taste, but man it was too overpowering for the wife and I. Of course, we drank it but won’t order again. I have found out that when I open a bag of coffee the smell has to be appeasing for me to enjoy it and I know that’s relative to everyone but I don’t think we’re quite at that level of boldness. We’re glad we tried it, so we know what more we like.
10/11/2020

Anthony
THIS IS THE WORST COFFEE I HAVE EVER GROUND. I thought I had poorly rated this before so I wouldn't get it again. I had to throw this out last time i got it.
9/24/2020

Derek
Nice and dark. Very rich flavor.
9/1/2020

Michael
Excellent, very smooth
7/25/2020

Karl
I love rich bold coffee, so this was as good as expected. This will go into my personal stash, as not everyone in my family can appreciate the full flavor of this coffee.
6/29/2020

Danielle
Dark and delicious
oily
5/21/2020

Yasuyo
I love the smell of it. I got taste of smokiness. It is also great with making cappuccino.
4/29/2020

Doug
amazing! - great for espresso or aeropress. may be my favorite on here.
4/17/2020

Michael
dark and smoky
3/26/2020

Nick
Fantastic dark roast. Bold, smoky, nice acidity. Lots of flavor. One of my favorite cups.
3/7/2020

Rose Marie & Mike
Awesome Coffee : -)
2/8/2020

LiAnne
Not my kind of coffee. Much too bitter for my taste.
1/25/2020

Fran
This blend wasn’t as bold as I expected. I liked the subtle bit of dark chocolate aftertaste. I would give it a 4 out of 5. I know it came through the mail but it wasn’t as fragrant as the one I buy at Whole Foods.
1/10/2020

Scott
A satisfying cup either with drip or French Press.
12/22/2019

Ken
It’s ok. First, the beans are oily which doesn’t work well with my coffee maker (I need dry beans). Secondly, not the biggest fan of the taste. It’s dark & fresh, which are good, but overall would not get this again.
12/7/2019

Garry
This is my favorite coffee so far. I really enjoy dark roasts with lots of flavor.
11/21/2019

Garry
This is my favorite coffee so far. I really enjoy dark roasts with lots of flavor.
11/21/2019

Bryce
Too dark for me, oily, sticks to the sides of my grinder's grounds bin, and makes a mess in general.
10/26/2019

Karen
little too strong
9/28/2019

Jeff and Laura
Not at all good. Has a burnt flavor and terribly acidic.
9/14/2019

James
Overall it is a good coffee, although the description on the bag of "tobacco" flavors is pretty accurate. The tobacco flavor is not strong, but is just a slight turn off. I would not describe this as "chocolate."
7/31/2019

Phil & Myriam
Great, dark roast. Enjoyed my first cup today.
7/15/2019

Michael
Love the taste. Dark, smoky and full if flavor.
A bit too moist for the machine’s grinder.
7/10/2019

Matt
This was a perfect balance of a strong coffee flavor but not bitter. Please send more like this one.
7/3/2019

Deb
a little bitter
6/29/2019

Tom
The first thing you notice are the chocolate notes... it’s bold and smoky just the way I like it.
6/26/2019

Angela
Tobacco
6/17/2019

Rhoda
Balanced and smooth as I brew it (Moka Pot; grounds leveled not packed; served with equal volume of hot milk). The described tobacco notes were not really evident (that's good since I don't like tobacco) - instead the brew is has smoke and dark chocolate notes. No floral or fruity notes in this product (which I do enjoy if present). A winner!
6/9/2019

Brandon
Very dark; different but good.
6/9/2019

Abhishek
It was too strong and bitter for us. We prefer smoother espressos.
6/7/2019

Adam
Perhaps too dark? Will compare to next beans
6/4/2019

Sydney
Delicious!
5/22/2019

Bob
I really liked this overall. The smokiness was a little too intense for me. I like smoky-forward with Scotch, for example, but not this much with coffee.
5/7/2019

James
good for dark roast
5/4/2019

Kelsie
We didnt like this as much as the others. The tobacco flavor was too much for us.
4/19/2019

Nicole & Ben
Good dark blend, a tad bitter but overall the flavor I'm looking for in a coffee.
3/29/2019

Jen
I LOVE THIS COFFEE
3/28/2019

John and Hui
Excellent - robust without excessive acidity. You can keep this one coming (from time to time).
3/18/2019

Elena
This one was good. Dark is my preference I guess because I liked this one. It was smooth. I did not get a lot of nuance like chocolate or caramel or anything but it was nice.
3/16/2019

Andrew
This is really something special. One of the best dark coffees I've ever had.
3/1/2019

Joseph
Perfect!! I really enjoyed it.
2/27/2019

best espresso roast i have had so far. Very dark rich and satisfying. Nice dark residue on the cup.
2/24/2019

Therese
I like this coffee but I think I preferred Metro French better. Tony's classic French is up next and I reviewed that coffee with 3 stars. Please consider my reviews before sending me coffee that I already have received and did not rate well.
2/24/2019

Lisa
Very good but too dark for me. Even though I strictly drink espresso, I should have chosen something milder
2/16/2019

Brent
I really enjoyed this blend of coffee. Very tasty dark roast, reminded me a little of Starbucks French Roast without the over burnt taste. Similar coffees on this track will be great!
2/16/2019

Blake
I didn't love this blend. No matter what I did to adjust the beans / water ratio, I was always left with a cup that just felt weak or watery. I did not think it was as bold as it claims.
2/14/2019

Trevor and Sami
Great deep notes but beans seem to be too oily.
2/7/2019

Monica
Loved the bold flavor!
2/7/2019

Janet
Excellent!!
2/1/2019

Josh
Just a bit too dark
1/29/2019

John
I found the coffee to be a bit more bitter than I like. I brewed it several different ways and experimented with grind size. Overall it is a well balanced coffee but I couldn't get it to be that perfect cup.
1/29/2019

Pat & Cathy
Maybe the best coffee I've ever had. The beans were as pleasing to the eye as the coffee to the taste buds.
1/28/2019

Mansi
Bitter and very oily
1/23/2019

Nyrma
very good coffee.
beautiful crema.
I like strong flavored coffee.
1/21/2019

Greg
I preferred it over my first one, Tony's Classic French. I liked the flavor and the boldness.
1/17/2019

Pop & Laurel
Decent breakfast coffee
1/17/2019

Bud
Not as good as the Tony’s coffee. A little too chocolaty, but still strong and bold.
1/15/2019

Bill
Delicious!
1/14/2019

Bill
I really liked this coffee! It had a bold taste, hints of tobacco and chocolate, and was smooth.
1/13/2019

Anthony
I prefer this one to the previous batch. Generally like darker, rich flavors
1/13/2019

Tim
over roasted for my taste
1/12/2019

Matt
A bit too dark, didn’t really love the tobacco, smoky bit, can the next one be lighter?
1/12/2019

Ronald
When I first viewed the very dark color and oily surface of the beans, I was concerned the coffee would be bitter and/or acidic. I couldn't have been more wrong. It was very smooth and full flavored. Exceeded my expectations. BTW... I used the beans to make espresso for lattes.
1/10/2019

Janice
Very dark but not bitter, and just a hint of sweetness
1/10/2019

Chuck
One of the darkest roasts I've tasted, I can see why it's named as such. It's taking me a lot of work to get the grind right, I think these beans need an extra fine grind. Most of my shots have been coming out under-extracted, so I need to work on that. Taste is complex actually, very dark flavour and the smoke/tobacco notes are definitely apparent. I've seen others describe this roast as smooth, and I agree. If extracted properly, it produces a very smooth yet dark taste.
1/9/2019

Stephen
Nice coffee with a lot of robustness and strong bold character that makes for a good cortado. But it's also a touch far on the smoky burnt tobacco side.
1/8/2019

Dean
I guess super dark roast isn't up my alley. Thanks guys
1/3/2019

Sim
It tastes very smooth, good to be expresso or special coffee. The smell is also very charming, including flowery smelling and tobacco smelling. Love it.
1/2/2019

Jason
I didn't love the flavor of tobacco and it was overall a little too bitter for my liking.
1/2/2019

Joe
Bold blend and nicely roasted. Great aroma. Would like French Roast or Sumatra next
12/31/2018

Josh
Incredible.
12/30/2018

Christine
Loved this coffee, particularly when made on the stovetop Bialetti. Very rich and smooth. Dark and great for drinking with no sugar or cream.
12/30/2018

Alan
very good, slightly heavy, some tobacco
12/22/2018

Tia
I really liked the dark roast, but I think it was a bit too dark. Can we try a medium dark roast?
12/22/2018

Ellen
The beans were too oily....I can’t use them in my Jura....
12/17/2018

Michael
Strong yet smooth - but too dark for my taste. The "tobacco" tasting note was right on. Brewed by pour over and was very bold and mild to no bitterness.
12/17/2018

Daniel
Way too dark and over roasted. I said in my preferences that I didn't want something over roasted like startbucks and that's pretty much what I got.
12/17/2018

Randolfo
too dark for my taste, it has burned flavor , like when the coffee is left in with the coffee maker on for a long time, please do not send me more of this coffee
12/16/2018

Evelyn
We really enjoyed this coffee!
12/16/2018

Ruthann
A little too smoky for me. Felt a little bitter
12/14/2018

Daddy
Very nice flavor
12/12/2018

Philip
Good, but a little darker than I prefer. I enjoyed the chocolate and tobacco flavoring though.
12/11/2018

Edward
No doubt, the best coffee I received via Mistobox. Truly excellent. Makes a truly dark, rich, deep flavored cup of coffee. If this had been the first coffee I received as opposed to the last, I would have had them just send me this month after month. I would consider renewing my subscription just for this roast, but unfortunately almost every other previous roast was underwhelming, at best, or positively awful at worst.
12/10/2018

Erika
Was bold flavored but not bitter.
12/8/2018

Marylyn
Loved this! Was smooth and dark and rich - just the way I like it!
12/5/2018

Joe
Very Dark, rich and smooth
11/26/2018

Craig and Bethany
I liked the flavor, but the beans weren't that strong, so we had to use more coffee than usual to get the strength that we wanted.
11/26/2018

Jacob
Very dark rich flavor. This is the coffee style I enjoy.
11/21/2018

CAROLYN
This was too dark for us and too smoky - would also like a bean that is NOT oily (roasted at too long) . Thank you!
11/18/2018

Peter
Very good, would get again
11/13/2018

Terry
Best coffee yet
11/12/2018

Charlie
So good. Perfect in the homemade cappuccinos!
11/11/2018

Elise
Bolder than what I would normally go for, but I love it!
11/5/2018

David
Really liked the flavor of this one
11/4/2018

Alyssa
I loved this coffee, it has an almost chocolate taste, it is smooth and robust.
10/30/2018

Claire
Love the coffee, I
Like really dark but smooth coffee. This was not at all bitter and had great flavor. I find I need to add more grinds than my regular coffee to get the right strength but I’ve figured it out and it’s totally delicious. More like this and I’ll be happy.
10/29/2018

Eric
I love the boldness, but I’m just not a huge fan of smoky in my coffee. Overall, it definitely satisfies my coffee needs, just not sure I’d buy on my own.
10/29/2018

Ashlynn
This coffee was very good!
10/28/2018

Katharine
Really enjoyed this blend! Good flavor and roast level.
10/26/2018

Rob
rich dark flavor; not burnt or bitter; very smooth. Only one pot made so far but living it so far!
10/25/2018

Brett
This roast tasted too much like a French Roast for my taste which is my least favorite roast. It’s oily and an overpowering smoke/burnt flavor made it difficult to stomach. I didn’t taste any other flavor notes especially the bittersweet chocolate on the finish that’s for sure.
10/25/2018

Melissa
Dark roast is great, but not a fan of the tobacco flavor. Tried it a few times and mixed things up a bit (black, cream/sugar, just cream or sugar), but could not find a way that made this one enjoyable.
10/24/2018

Talibah
I love it! Super delicious! Perfect!
10/21/2018

Melissa
Perfect. This has become the standard against which I compare all others.
10/20/2018

Jeff
It smelled great but the flavor profile just seemed a little bland. I love dark roasts but prefer a more caramel flavor profile. This didn’t taste as bold as it looked or smelled. I brewed it in a drip machine, and also French pressed it. It was stronger in the press, but not as rich as I would like. I would not purchase this coffee in the future.
10/17/2018

Brian
I absolutely loved this coffee!! Best cup of coffee I have ever drank!!
10/17/2018

Ken
Good balance of sweet and smoke...like finding darker roasts with a hint of smoke that also have sweetness
10/14/2018

John
Oof, not good, like drinking tar, way to bitter.
10/12/2018

Kaitlyn + Michael
It was right up my ally. My favorite coffee is usually Verona and this is close, a little less intense but I liked the flavor.
10/11/2018

Jamie
amazing
10/10/2018

Kayron
Too Smokey and acidic.
10/10/2018

Thomas
I thoroughly enjoyed the smoky tobacco and subtle chocolate in this wonderful dark roast. Best dark roast I have had thus far!
10/8/2018

Jason
liked it very much. strong flavor
10/3/2018

Angela Richter
Loved the deep and robust flavor of this coffee. A bit too sweet thought.
10/3/2018

Adam
Great dark roast
10/2/2018

Wendy
Delicious, not too bitter
10/1/2018

Luke and Sarah
This tasted good but was a bit more bold than I prefer. I did it in a Chemex and the result was still pretty potent for my taste. I'd prefer to dial it back a little for my next shipment, a little closer to a medium roast.
10/1/2018

Rebekah
Bitter & poor after taste
9/30/2018

Nick
This is a good cup of coffee. It's a little bitter but overall very enjoyable. I do enjoy this coffee.
9/29/2018

Joseph
Did not like the smoky taste. Taste of tobacco is disgusting.
9/29/2018

Drew
The coffee had a very stale taste from the very 1st sip. The coffee lost almost any of the limited flavor within a couple of sips. Glad it came in a 3.2 oz bag instead of 12oz.
9/26/2018

John
Way too dark, almost like cigarette ashes. I think it may be the "smoky" part.
9/24/2018

Cydney
This roast didn't have much of a wow factor for me. The flavor was very muted to me, in comparison to other dark roasts I've had. This was definitely not for me.
9/23/2018

Anthony
Coffee was good however the smoky, earthy attributes were a bit to overpowering.

- Grounded the coffee using a burr grinder and tried the beans with my aero press and moka pot.

I liked that this was very smooth. It had low acidity and wasn't too bitter. I do think the flavor was a bit simple compared to others however.
9/11/2018

Marlene
I am not a huge fan of the tobacco taste that I get at the end.
9/11/2018

THE
Very nice! Dark without the over roasted "burnt" taste!
9/10/2018

Andy
Great. Dark and bold but not bitter. One of the best dark coffee I have tasted.
9/9/2018

Annya
Smooth flavor, perfect roast.
9/9/2018

Taryn
We like the bold chocolate flavors but aren’t into the smokiness. Dark is good! Burnt, not our favorite.
9/9/2018

John
It is pretty good. Dark and not too distracting with the other flavors.
9/8/2018

James
It was a good coffee; better than you will find in stores, but I have had better from mistobox. To me, it was a little bland.
9/7/2018

Denis
The Double Dark Blend is as described with chocolate full bodied bold flavor. I would prefer a similar coffee not as dark roasted but still bold flavor.
9/4/2018

Laurel & Garry
Great flavor!!! Loved the tobacco notes surprisingly!
9/3/2018

James
Nice flavor, liked the chocolate note at the end. Bit of a sour aftertaste in the finish. Wife also enjoyed.
9/1/2018

Logan
Eh - It's okay. A little bitter. I usually like something bold and dark, but a little sweeter with those stronger dark chocolate notes.
8/30/2018

Kyle
Not much to compare to yet! Still new to espressos! But I did really enjoy :)
8/29/2018

Jillian
The tobacco after taste was not for us and it was a little too dark of a blend.
8/28/2018

Kristin
It was a little too smokey for me--too much tobacco. Overall, nice flavor, though I prefer something dark without the smoke.
8/28/2018

Bobby
It was difficult to get the brew right. It was not my favorite. I like dark roast coffees the best. At times this one reminded me of the burnt coffee in the bottom of the pot.
8/27/2018

Very dark obviously, but not without excellent smells & bitterness. Not a terrible roast at all. This is just everything associated with dark coffee x 2.
8/25/2018

Bobak
Terrible. Tastes like Starbucks.
8/24/2018

George
perfect
8/22/2018

Holli
too dark for me
8/22/2018

Maria Cecilia
I loved it a lot, taste excellent! .
8/21/2018

Galen
This is FANTASTIC -- right up my alley. I loved the earthy notes in the tobacco taste that comes through and covers the entire tongue. Plus, it's wonderfully dark -- not bitter, not overpowering, but perfect. It has great body, too.

This weekend (yesterday and today), I used a Hario V60 pour over to make the coffee, as opposed to my weekday rush-to-work Melita filter holder; it was even better! However, do you have suggestions for brewing dark roasts to get the max flavor profile and darkness out of the beans/grounds? I also have a French Press I can use -- would that make a difference that I should try next weekend (I save the beans for non workday mornings, so I can take the time to really enjoy them!).
8/20/2018

Rebecca
Did not care for this blend. Wouldn't order it again.
8/20/2018

Heather
We enjoyed drinking this coffee! It had a smooth taste and was not too acidic or bitter. We thought it was very well balanced and perfect on its own without any additions.
8/19/2018

Megan
Liked the dark roast of it. Was skeptical and concerned about the smoke aroma and tobacco taste...neither of which sounded appealing. Luckily, we couldn't detect either in the coffee!
8/19/2018

Patrick
Can you recommend something a bit less smoky? Thanks Connor!
8/18/2018

Katie
My fiance and I share every coffee, and this one is definitely more up his alley. He enjoyed the mix of tobacco together with the chocolate. I on the other hand thought it carried too much smoke and is too dark for my taste.
8/18/2018

Emily
Excellent coffee, loved the flavors. Would prefer a slightly less bitter finish for the next round, however!
8/18/2018

Thomas
Very good, strong, flavorful. Definitely got the smoky taste.
8/15/2018

Cassia
It was a too smoky for us. It was not acidic which was great but you could really taste the smokiness of it and that threw us off. It was mostly in the finishing notes. We would like something with a softer finish.
8/11/2018

Alexis
A bit too dark. Chocolate notes were good.
8/11/2018

Stuart
Shockingly Good!
8/10/2018

Anna
We really enjoyed this flavorful coffee. We especially like it freshly ground and brewed in our French Press
8/9/2018

Acacia
Rich, bold, and smooth but not overly bitter or sour - a pretty awesome first coffee to receive from Mistobox.
8/7/2018

Deb
Love this coffee. 5 stars
8/5/2018

Andrew & Val
Loved this coffee. Makes great Cafe lattes with our expresso machine. Strong, yet smooth.
8/5/2018

Katherine
Love the deep, rich flavor and oily beans. Dark without being too bitter
8/5/2018

Alex
I really like this coffee! This is exactly the kind I would buy for myself!
8/3/2018

Trevor
Likes:
Dark flavor with musky finish

Dislikes:
Takes lots of coffee beans to get desired taste
8/2/2018

Linden
wife hated it
8/2/2018

John
The coffee was much better. It was quite good mixed about 50/50 with one of the two lighter ones sent earlier. Can we get a medium dark roast next time?
8/1/2018

Stephen
Great taste... dold and dark. This is espresso.
8/1/2018

Stephanie
We really like it...wonderful morning drink.
7/30/2018

Kenny
Unfortunately, this coffee is awful. Anything described with the flavor of "tobacco" is a horrible idea. To quote my wife, " it tastes like you're eating a cigarette."

We will most likely need to throw the rest away.
7/25/2018

Luis
The smell of the beans right of the bag would put any Folgers coffee commercial to shame! Loved the deep flavor and every cup I made was smooth until the last drop. Thank you Dillanos!
7/25/2018

Alan
Very good coffee. Dark, but not harsh or acidic. Smooth, aromatic. Enticing fragrance.
7/24/2018

James
Loved it
7/22/2018

Roman
Delicious. Might be a little too strong for the wife.
7/22/2018

Yvette
Did not like the smell of tobacco. It had a good taste though
7/20/2018

Greg
This Bean is what they state.. The Darkest bean they have. This bean when brewed is almost over cooked and over smoked. I have began creating a blend with the counter culture hollogram bean which has a lot of chocolate blending the two adds a compexity I look for and a lot more palettable.
7/19/2018

Kathleen
Surprisingly I really like it since it had chocolate listed in the blend.
7/13/2018

Angela
I thought it was good
7/12/2018

Steve
Fantastic!
7/11/2018

Lauren
I liked it but it's not my absolute favorite. I think I would appreciate a little more floral, a little more delicate or unique flavor in my coffee. Maybe this is too dark for me? My all time favorite coffee is what they brew standard at Intellegencia. I also love Cartel coffee from Tucson, if you've had it.
7/11/2018

Patrick
It's exactly how I like my coffee. My only question is, are any of the coffees you sell organic?
7/11/2018

Brent
A bit darker than I normal like but it has a good flavor.
7/10/2018

Shaun
This reminds me of what most of the roasters in the San Francisco Bay Area in the eighties... a very dark roast with very oily beans. I suppose the oil is exaggerated from the dark roast. I was kind of fun to try the smoky, chocolatey, earthy flavors and reminisce... but I accidentally click the dark roast and my tastes are much more in line with light and medium expressos. I get nervous when using oily beans in my expensive grinder, also. I guess I just need to run some cleaning beans through there after I am done with the bag. All in all, a decent espresso that was fun to taste... but ultimately just to dark for my tastes.

I was pulling this through an Expobar Lever Plus after grinding it in a Sette 270W. Shots ended up at a 5B grind... 18 grams in a 17 gram basket... and took 30 seconds for 35 grams of water.
7/9/2018

Roger
This is excellent coffee - very dark roasted as promised, but no bitterness. Five stars in my book!
7/8/2018

Sarah
Loved this coffee!
7/8/2018

John
We’d be interested in something a bit bolder, darker, Connor.
Not ready for expressing though!
7/6/2018

Susannah
Delicious. Maybe send something slightly richer next time.
7/6/2018

Joan
Too strong
7/6/2018

Good aroma, flavor, and nice and strong. Really liked this one!
7/4/2018

Seth
I bit stronger and perhaps more bitter than we are used to.
7/3/2018

Lindsey
Good, but a bit too dark for us. Although I like bold coffee, this one was a bit too bold. For the next, maybe we could try something a tiny bit lighter (more caramel-like).
7/3/2018

Justin

def smokey

Enjoyed this one. Good flavor. Very similar to coffee I normally buy. Would like to try something different - maybe lighter.

Sara
Perfect darkness/boldness and great flavor
6/30/2018

Daria
Classic taste
6/29/2018

John
Just ground and brewed the first cup. Loved it!! No sugar (yuk!) and not even cream, which I frequently use, especially if the coffee is not special.

This coffee is special!
6/27/2018

Hannah
We absolutely love the rich dark taste!!
6/26/2018

Brian
I loved the dark, rich flavor of the coffee.
6/26/2018

Sherri
I liked the first blend a little better.
Bold, lots of flavor. It was a little darker roast than I usually would use but a nice brew.
6/26/2018

Elana
I liked it, maybe a little bit too dark for me, although I might just not be making it right. I like coffee dark but maybe a little sweeter. Thank you!
6/25/2018

Sol (Popoo)
Excellent full body, dark, oily beans. Only wish the beans were USDA organic.
6/25/2018

Jo
very good. perhaps a little bitter.
6/24/2018

Kathleen
Too smoky tasting. I didn't get the chocolate note, but the coffee had a muddy note, as opposed to being bright, or bracing
6/23/2018

Kevin & Connie
Bold but very smooth
Aromatic
6/19/2018

Ashley
This coffee tasted burned and had strong, acrid overtones of tobacco smoke. Not a fan, unfortunately.
6/18/2018

Joe
It doesn't taste as dark as it looks. I'm not sure I'm a huge fan of the smoky flavor either. Do you have anything similar to Ether from Philz Coffee?

Dru & Meredith
Really liked this coffee! The flavor was on point. Can’t believe I’m going to say this, but it was just a little too strong for us.
6/15/2018

Andrea
I loved this coffee! So yummy!
6/15/2018

David
Good strong flavor
6/13/2018

Anita
Perfect!
6/13/2018

Sarah
We loved the dark roast. It was well-balanced. We liked the scent of the tobacco flavor, and although the flavor didn't come through as strong as the scent, it was a nice addition. The coffee was also a good amount of smoky.
6/12/2018

Greg & Robin
Excellent!!!
6/11/2018

Jon
Bold and flavorful! This coffee had all the greatest parts of bold coffee richness, and dark complex flavor without any burnt taste. Thanks for this great coffee! Looking forward to the next one!
6/11/2018

Donna
Very good coffee.
6/10/2018

This was good strong flavored coffee

Very nice. Smooth and flavorful.
6/2/2018

Jenny
Honestly, I was disgusted that this smelled like tobacco and it was even touted on the description! I was going to complain before I tasted it, but knew I needed to give it a shot first. Oh my, I'm glad I did! It was really good!!
6/2/2018

Kristan
Yummy
6/1/2018

Megan
A bit too strong. And didn't care for the tobacco notes.
5/31/2018

David
This has been my favorite so far. I use an AeroPress maker and ground it very fine. It was very rich and deep but also extremely smooth with no acid after taste.
5/31/2018

Susan
Not much flavor, was it really fresh?
We like Peets roast because there's no flaking when the beans are ground. These beans generate flakes when ground.
5/31/2018

Anton
Rich, earthy.
5/29/2018

Will
Love this. Rich, smoky, a little tobacco.
5/23/2018

Alice
Smooth and bold but I'm not sure about dark roasts. Would prefer something brighter for my morning pick me up.
5/22/2018

Kevin
Much better, very robust, great taste
5/21/2018

Gary
My preference is expresso brewed with cone filter as regular coffee with whole milk added. DCR is rich, smooth and medium. Good - not as strong or full bodied as I prefer.
5/20/2018

Craig
Don’t like the smoky tobacco tones. Too dark and bitter.
5/20/2018

Jason
Great smokey, rich smell and flavor followed by a smooth finish
5/10/2018

Will
A bit too dark. Also had a bit of a tough time dialing in the proper grind size for this bean for my espresso machine.
5/9/2018

Kevin
Nice flavor but not bold and awakening. A good cup of joe but without WOW factor
5/9/2018

Nathan
Really enjoyed this one really like the bold flavor. Was able to notice the hints of smoke. Only occasionally got hints of chocolate.
5/9/2018

Jeremy
It was very good, but a little too dark for my taste.
5/8/2018

Tyler
Way too dark
5/7/2018

Kimberly
Didn’t feel it was anything special. Tended to be bitter and the first few cups had a funny smell when brewed.
5/6/2018

Nate
It's fine. Took me a couple tries to get much flavor out of it which seemed weird to me. Here is a different angle from the questions approach from before. One of my favorite coffees that I can no longer get was a single origin from Costa Rica. I think it was also used in a darker blend that I really like ("Dave's Blend" from Shenandoah Joe's in Charlottesville fwiw). While I tend to go for darker coffees, this might be a good chance to explore some other kinds. Is single origin from Costa Rica on the darker side something we could try?
5/3/2018

Karen
Like the very dark roast. Taste is mild.
4/28/2018

Jane
Loved this one!
4/27/2018

It was a perfect blend, really enjoyed it!
4/24/2018

Will
Bold, smoky, dark. What I like.
4/21/2018

Alex
Great strong bold flavor. A little too much smoke for my taste. I would prefer more chocolate warm taste. All in all pleased with this choice, but not my favorite.
4/21/2018

Steven
Thin. Somewhat bland. Much better than Folgers and DunkinDonuts but thats not saying much. Its a start and will allow for improvement.
4/20/2018

Elias
Taste is good, but the beans are so oily that they don't grind very well.
4/20/2018

Daniel
This was a very easy to drink dark coffee. I definitely got the smoky/tobacco hints but not so much the chocolate.
4/19/2018

Scott
I like the richness of this coffee but a little to Smoky/charcoal-ly for my taste.
4/16/2018

Stephanie
It's so smooth. I normally cannot drink coffee on it's own but the Double Dark Blend is wonderful!
4/13/2018

Aaron
I picked up on the smoky and tobacco flavors, but not so much the chocolate. I still enjoyed it though.
4/12/2018

Brooks
enjoyed it. smooth flavor, bold, with a bit of smokiness on the finish. love those dark, oily beans
4/12/2018

Robert
I love the bold and smokiness of the coffee. It provides great flavor with every sip. Also, is great in lattes.
4/11/2018

Sara
too dark for my husband, so perhaps the next bean we receive could be a little more medium/ dark. Great dark color/ oil. Super interesting!!
4/9/2018

Wendy
Loved this coffee!!!
4/8/2018

Thomas
Very good, rich, smooth flavor. Very drinkable with a good kick. A bit over roasted.
4/5/2018

Jonathan
Reminded me a lot of foldgers black silk. It was good but had a funny twang to it.
4/4/2018

Thomas
Really enjoyed the flavor of this coffee. It was an excellent drip roast. I liked how it seemed to have a bold flavor but was not overwhelming.
4/3/2018

Isaac
Really enjoying trying these new blends and roasters!
3/30/2018

Ryan
Like the dark and smokiness. But maybe a bit too smoky, and missing the sweetness that I like to balance out things a bit (with caramel for instance).
3/27/2018

Daniel
Dark but smooth, my favorite so far
3/26/2018

Bill
Very good. Maybe something just a little less dark next time..
3/24/2018

Charles
Really enjoyed this blend more than I expected!
3/20/2018

Kourtney
The latest bag was a little too dark! Still great coffee.
3/20/2018

Very smooth/clean finish; an improved version of the roasts I'm used to drinking; interested in experimenting with different flavors in the future
3/20/2018

Rachel
Way too strong and bitter didn’t like the smoky flavor
3/19/2018

Jason
It was good but I’m not as much of a fan of the chocolate in my coffees. I did enjoy the smoke flavor and the boldness.
3/19/2018

Newell
fair
3/19/2018

Earthy and light. The hint of tobacco flavor was surprisingly warm and inviting. It reminded me of going out on my grandfather's fishing boat smelling him smoke his pipe
3/18/2018

Stew
Love , love love this coffee
3/18/2018

Roger
A bit too bold
3/17/2018

Joe
Just a bit too chocolate and bold for my morning kick. I do love the sight of those dark and oily beans though, an earthy honest look.
3/16/2018

Sebastian
Pretty good. Have only had a cup or two, but it definitely did the job.
3/15/2018

Bill
Excellent bold and smoky flavor when hot brewed. Liked it so much hot that I never made any cold brew. Great selection.
3/14/2018

Virginia
Just a little too bold and dark. But did like it overall.
3/14/2018

Cary-Ann
I liked it, husband thought it was a bit "spicy" for his taste.
3/13/2018

Dale
A little to strong or it may have simply been the "smoky" or "chocolate" aspect of the flavor.
3/13/2018

Kelly
Fantastic! Thank you so much!!
3/13/2018

Lisa
Dark but not as full bodies as I'm used to. Better than SB.
3/7/2018

Maria
Really enjoyed the depth of this coffee! Very good!
3/6/2018

Frederick
Very strong, better as an espresso than with the aero press. Either way works better with a bit of steamed milk.
3/5/2018

Christie
I liked this one a lot!

Liked this a lot. Good oil/body, nice and dark without tasting burnt.

Excellent coffee full-bodied & delicious. I really like this coffee.
3/2/2018

Jayne
This was ok for drip coffee but very bitter in a latte. Would not purchase, Too strong for me.
2/28/2018

Thomas
Glistening greasy beans foretell the nutty smoke bomb to come.
2/27/2018

Eric
Way too oily and over roasted. Bland with no bean characteristics since roasted way too far. Did not make a good espresso and was only tolerable for cappuccino and latte.
2/27/2018

Katherine
felt it was a little harsh/unbalanced
2/27/2018

James
Pretty good but don't want to grind it to fine.
2/26/2018

Dave
Great dark smooth coffee
2/25/2018

Miranda
Very smooth but also bold. Blends really well with soy milk or milk to make a delicious latte. I used an aero press to brew for a latte and French press for a black cup.
2/25/2018

Jarod
It was very good, but slightly too dark.
2/25/2018

Frank
great for making espresso, not good for making drip coffee. very oily beans which get caught in espresso grinder, but aroma and taste are rich and makes great crema.
2/25/2018

Jennifer & Charlie
This was GREAT. Best beans I have had!!
2/24/2018

Bianca and Lee
We enjoyed the aroma and coffee did finish well with dark chocolate notes as described. Overall, though the roast was too dark for our taste and would prefer more of a medium/dark next time.
2/24/2018

Padma
The coffee was bold and strong. A bit too dark - Maybe a shade lesser could be good.
Use Italian coffee maker "Bialetti moka" to make my expresso coffee.Left a good feeling in my mouth after the morning coffee. Thanks
2/23/2018

Larry
Very flavorful, strong smoky taste which almost overshadows the flavor too much. Provides a rich coffee experience when compared to other coffees. I enjoyed this as my first coffee.
2/22/2018

Tom
Never got this coffee. My profile, therir email and the delivery box all said dark toast. I got a mild blend, which was ok but not what I orvtge person who gifted me expected.

It seems Mistbox is automated and does not return emails. I have gotten two emails asking me to review this coffee

Having never gotten it, or hearing from them, I am only left with giving this coffee one star. That is not fair to the roaster, but I am at a loss for what else I can do.
2/20/2018

Michael
Nice and dark.
2/18/2018

Mom & Dad
Not very strong. Tasted weak and with very little flavor. It was grounded correctly and brewed with a drip coffee maker.
2/17/2018

Greg
Nice dark flavor. A bit of a chocolate taste.
2/17/2018

Tim
This one is too dark for my taste. It seems like the bold dark roasts are a bit too smoky masking the dark roast flavors that I love.
2/16/2018

Max
Tastes a little ashy.
2/15/2018

Dian
Although I enjoyed the coffee, it was a tad too smoky for me. I preferred the Deep Space Blend. Perhaps you can find another roast that is closer to that one for my final pound? Many thanks!
2/12/2018

Chris & Kyndal
I thought this coffee was way too bitter and did not taste good
2/12/2018

way too dark. barely has any other flavor other than burnt. it is very bold but not in a good way. not an easy thing to drink.
2/7/2018

Sean
Enjoyed this one. Dark and strong.
2/6/2018

David
We found this coffee a bit strong at first, but acclimated quickly and were enjoying it after a day or two. I never picked up on the chocolate notes, but definitely noticed the smokey flavors- which weren't really to my tastes.

All in all a good cup- nice boldness and strength but could have done with less smoke.
2/6/2018

Stephanie
Double Dark is so dark, roasty, and a bit bitter. Smoky. Strong. Delicious. Amazing.
2/6/2018

Lucus
A little weak tasting for how dark of a roast it is
2/6/2018

Tania
Nice dark roast that was not bitter or charred tasting.
2/6/2018

Claire
Really liked this one! Had to play around with the grind to get it just right, but it was great!
2/5/2018

Nikolas
Super good, actually made me mix in cream once and a while and I love dark coffee. Didn't care for the chocolate flavor at the end though.
2/5/2018

I would say it was just okay - like a deeper flavor

1/30/2018

Ashley
It was good!
1/29/2018

David and Janelle
The exact definition of what I look for in a daily drinking bean. Dark and oily in appearance, sweet, smoky yet surprisingly not that bitter. Delicious, but a little "one-note". (What a great start...)

I do love dark roasts but think I want to move to a medium roast for my espresso.

Robin and John
We felt this was a good coffee but not nearly as strong as we thought it would be.
1/26/2018

Howard and Gloria
We loved the richness and full body taste of this blend. I could have this every morning.
1/26/2018

Laura
Loved it. Nice and toasty but not "muddy" like some super dark roasts can be. Delicious
1/25/2018

We loved this coffee ☕️ the taste was bold but smooth
It was not acidic afterwards
Although it certainly is caffeinated it was not overly so and didn’t get jittery from it . We had it as an espresso Americana and in Cappuccino. My husband and I enjoyed it as well as my 30 something daughter and her hubby . This is great !!

I really liked this coffee. Tasty, dark coffee.
1/22/2018

Joshua
Very good coffee. Dark and bold without the acidity that I find usually come with it. This is my first from Mistobox, so I probably don't know what I've been missing all these years.

Karrie
A bit darker than I prefer but not bitter. Good flavor

Jennifer H.
Really enjoyed this coffee. I did not know "very dark" was a thing but greatly enjoyed it.
1/20/2018

Stephen
This blend was so good, especially when made in the French press. I had never quite tasted the smokiness of coffee before and it was awesome. Five stars! So nice.
1/18/2018

Gary
Dark, strong flavors. Tried it as an expresso first, and was quite pleased as it worked well as a latte. Had to adjust the amount I used in the French press, but once I worked that out, it was a nice, well-rounded coffee.
1/18/2018

Andrea
This was a little too dark for me - while I did enjoy the initial taste, the aftertaste was not as good, I didn’t enjoy the smoky aspect
1/18/2018

Elizabeth
Really liked the chocolate undertones!
1/18/2018

The Destabelle Family
I like the roast and the full flavor. Body is lighter than I like. Using mini press-pot, 8 - 10 minute brew. Perhaps I should grind finer?
1/18/2018

Josh
Great pick. I loved the chocolatey/peanut butter smell of these beans. Went great with some half and half. The bag was gone far too soon.
1/17/2018

Karyn
loved it - I usually drink espresso forte via drip, but this was more flavorful and I looked forward to getting up to drink it
1/17/2018

Mary Ann
Not as rich as I would like
1/17/2018

Maggie
Loved!!!! This was perfect
1/17/2018

Jake
Very good, nice and bold, I’ve had coffees with notes of “smoke” but this is the first roast with those notes that I’ve really enjoyed
1/17/2018

Tim
Delicious! More like this.
1/16/2018

Aneesh
Loved the quality and freshness, but would prefer a slightly less dark roast. This one seemed to give off a charcoal scent when ground/brewed. Prepared with V60 at 200F.
1/16/2018

Davey
Great aroma. Bold initially which I love smoother finish. Strong smoky flavor. Absolutely loved it!along with Tony’s coffee probably the best coffee I’ve ever had
1/16/2018

Tricia
I like it alot. Nice and rich but not bitter.
1/15/2018

Tanner
I really enjoy this coffee. I was worried it would be too dark but it wasn't. I liked the boldness of this brew. I am open to try new things so feel free to recommend whatever you think. I like all different roasts.
1/15/2018

Scooter and Teresa
It was really good
1/15/2018

Larry and Kay
slightly more bitter tasting than I would normally drink. But overall I like this as a change of pace from my normal coffee. That was the reason for trying something with a bolder taste.
1/15/2018

Garrett
super smoky and dark. it was a great coffee to brew pour over or in a french press. the moka pot made it a bit bitter. this is one of the strongest coffees I've had, and it's pretty incredible. in my opinion, its best black, no milk or sugar.
1/15/2018

Damian
I really liked this coffee. It was a good balance between bold and smooth. I liked the aroma, and the earthy, smoky notes. It tasted a bit more fruity than I typically prefer.
1/14/2018

Zachary
A little too dark. Very good overall!
1/14/2018

Stephanie
I really liked it! it was the prefect strength and had a very smooth taste.
1/13/2018

Brian
I loved the bold taste. The flavor was full and left a nice aftertaste. It is a great way to start the day.
1/13/2018

Jean
Great!
1/13/2018

David
I liked the rich earthy flavor. The dark roast was excellent.
1/13/2018

Ryan
I really enjoyed this coffee. I don't think I really noticed much of a chocolate flavor but I'll have to try it again and pay attention. Overall this was a great blend.
1/12/2018

Andrew
This was fantastic! I loved the roast - it makes perfect espresso. I particularly liked the complex, bold flavor. Thanks!
1/12/2018

Christy & Turk
Good looking coffee but I think a little too smokey for us/ Maybe the next one could have less bite and leave a sweeter lingering taste?
1/12/2018

Alexander
This was excellent. Love the double dark blend, really smooth too.
1/12/2018

Mitch
Hello, thank you for sending my first bag of coffee. When I opened the box and saw what you sent I was really excited as I like a dark rich bold coffee. Opening the bag the beans smelled wonderful and a dark aroma; I ground up some beans and brewed my first pot. I was really expecting a BANG but got a Fizzle. It's smooth but lacked that bold flavor I was expecting. It is a good cup of coffee but just isn't bold enough for my taste. thank you.
1/12/2018

Manuel
I like it but a little too bitter , not sure if “double dark “ means there is a “dark”. That being said, still like it
1/10/2018

Micah
It is certainly a very dark blend, but it has amazing flavor!
1/10/2018

Poppy
Loved it.
1/10/2018

Anthony
Good, slightly too bitter. Looking for more full flavor, slightly less bitter.
1/10/2018

Rox
I loved this coffee. I thought it would be way to dark but I enjoyed the flavor.
1/10/2018

Jan and Keith
Was not impressed
1/10/2018

Jack
I liked it - a good doorway into the world of more specialized dark coffee blends.
1/9/2018

Denise
It's a GREAT morning cup of coffee. It smells heavenly and wakes you up with the first sip. It's a bit smoky for all day use, but perfect to get me going in the morning.
1/9/2018

Dereck
Very dark and oily. Smokey. I'm not a big fan of smokey.
1/9/2018

Paul
STRONG!
1/9/2018

John
Fantastic. Love it!
1/9/2018

Peter
This is the first coffee that didn't like. Too darkly roasted for my taste. Please avoid sending me any think like this in the future.
1/8/2018

Linda and Steve
The first word we both used to describe it was burnt. Even the smell of the beans seemed burnt.
1/8/2018

Cindy and Robert
Very good, enjoyed this coffee made with french press. Not for the faint-hearted coffee drinkers.
1/7/2018

Carlos
Had good flavor and taste remained constant from start to finish. If looking for a consistent and reliable coffee I would recommend this. I do prefer a slight initial bold punch and flavorful ending. I would still drink this coffee as a daily.
1/7/2018

Joshua
Very dark with a great taste - near perfect!
1/7/2018

Mo
Tasted great in my french press. Very bold and enjoyable flavor. But, I would be interested in trying something less smoky, and more rich/chocolately in my next coffee.
1/6/2018

Sarah
Very bold and dark, not too much flavor
1/6/2018

Alyssa
The coffee was very smooth and didn't have any acid or burnt qualities. I was surprised that it was whole bean, but perhaps all coffee shipments are. The beans were beautiful- dark and shiny.
1/6/2018

David
Smooth and balanced. Dark and flavorful.
1/5/2018

Keith
Smokey, malty, dark chocolate, pleasantly bitter, slightly acidic...

This one's really grown on me....bumping to a 5 star.
1/5/2018

Taegan
Wow, I'm terribly unimpressed. It tasted like coffee that had been sitting on a shelf for weeks.
1/5/2018

Mommy
Loved!
1/5/2018

Terry
Outstanding!! Very bold, not bitter. Used a pour over to brew. Beans have nice color. For me this is an after dinner coffee. Settles everything down and relaxes me. Wonderful taste and aroma. I'm not into fufu tastes. I like straight forward and bold. This fits the bill.
1/4/2018

Katharina
I love this coffee... highlights for me are the full, chocolaty flavor and dark roast.
1/4/2018

Jenna
Too smoky.
1/3/2018

Judy
Really liked the bold dark flavor.
I also received Peet's Sulewesi as gift and liked that very much too.
Thank you

Hunter
dark and oily, great smell and flavor,
12/29/2017

Wes
lovely!
12/27/2017

Colin
It was great!
12/26/2017

Melissa
Nice and dark, but a little too smoky. It overpowered the shot. It was nice as a strong bold latte with a little sugar.
12/24/2017

Deena
Although I usually prefer and love dark roasts, this roast had a bitter aftertaste which accounted for the 3-star rating. I prefer more of a sweet, chocolate finish. I did like that it was dark roast and it smelled amazing! But, I don't think I would purchase it myself.
10/24/2017

Curtis
Only two cups brewed so far, but I like it. I use a hand burr grind and pour-over brewing. Still trying to get my grind exactly right. My initial response to this coffee is positive.
10/4/2017

Quratulain
I would prefer darkest roast organic variety
10/1/2017

Nathan
Too smokey and bitter
9/27/2017

Too much smoke. A wee bit too dark.
8/20/2017

Mike
Excellent.
8/7/2017

Aileen
I like the bold flavor but I would appreciate if you quit sending it to me over and over.
8/5/2017

Craig
its super super dark and oily. and messing up my espresso machine.
7/12/2017

George
I enjoyed it very much, a little too smoky, but perfect with some sugar.
5/25/2017

Kirstie
One of the most intense beans I've ever add. It really got you ready to conquer the world in the morning. A bit too smoky for an afternoon cup.
5/21/2017

Judee
dark and delicious
5/17/2017

Matthew
Yummy.
5/8/2017

Andrew
burnt.
5/2/2017

Richard
So dark! Delicious!
4/28/2017

Kristin
his favorite one!!!
4/27/2017

Justin
Faint burnt flavor, but good concentration and richness
4/9/2017

Natasha
Initially, this was not my favorite but it is growing on me. oddly enough, I find this to have less of a smokey finish than the French roast. Ideally, chocolate and caramel notes are what I have been drawn to in the past.
3/23/2017

Erik
Great first brew for me. Nice to have on a cold holiday morning!
3/19/2017

Katlyn
Overall this was a good dark coffee. I liked the flavor and strength. It's not something I would drink every day, but it's perfect for when you're looking for something dark. I think I'd like to try something lighter for my next one.
3/13/2017

Stephanie
This was way too dark for me.
3/12/2017

Payman
intense and dark, but nothing to write home about.
3/6/2017

Jason
It has no body and has a burnt taste. tastes like starbucks. I usually drink LaColumbe Corsica blend.
3/6/2017

Brian
Definitely strong enough, if I nearly double the amount of grounds for specified for French press. What's missing is flavor. I've had the same reaction to other very dark roasts I've tried at Petes and elsewhere (e.g., French, Italian roasts). Not sure what I'm looking for, but sweetness comes to mind? Richness? For wine, I'd say I want a fuller body. I like red zinfandel, for example, and Amarone, because they are rich, smooth, and sweeter than other reds. I'm not sensitive enough to note the chocolate, but I'll concentrate on sensing it. I sense some smoke but there could be more.

All this said, when I used it for espresso in my stovetop Bialetti Brikka (the one that has the valve that pops a dose of crema at the end), all of a sudden the flavor and richness was there. Very tasty and good. I'll try to replicate that over the next days - my self-made espressos are not very consistent it seems.
3/1/2017

Jim
It's OK. I don't mind it, but the flavor wasn't nearly as bold as I expected.

UPDATE: after a few days and tinkering with brew strength, I've come to enjoy this one.
2/28/2017

Greg
Very very good.
2/25/2017

Sarah
Not a huge fan of the smokey flavor, but like the chocolate finish. Also didn't seem to have as much caffine as other coffee I have tried.
2/25/2017

Deanna
too smokey for my liking
2/24/2017

Osvaldo
Very strong flavor. Tastes like an expresso in a regular cup. Smoky, roasty flavor without acidity or sourness. Very dark, shiny beans. Liked it better than the previous two coffees!
2/20/2017

Robyn
This one was so so so good!
2/16/2017

Megan
Surprisingly a little too bitter and smoky for me! It's a great coffee, just not my personal favorite.
2/7/2017

Danny
the coffee was very good.
2/7/2017

Dan
A very smooth dark roast that packed the right amount of bold flavor without overwhelming the taste buds.
2/6/2017

Dan
Dark chocolate. Good.
2/5/2017

Anthony
Very bold roast, but surprisingly smooth once it was brewed. Had quite a bit of a smoke and deep dark chocolate flavours to it which made it difficult to pull out any of the less pronounced flavours, but they weren't overwhelming. No sweetness to it like I've had in some other coffees, but I enjoyed the fact that it was just mildly acidic.
1/31/2017

Ben
Delicious. One of the darkest coffees I've had. Very rich and very strong. Consequently, I'm not always in the mood for something quite so dark so I don't have it every single day. Would recommend.
1/31/2017

Joshua
Exactly what we liked!
1/27/2017

Jack
Very rich, but maybe a little too bitter for my tastes. Overall very very good. Would rate 4-4.5 out of 5.

EDIT: I'm revising my review. I keep returning to this coffee. I really like it, very dark, very bold. I love dark dark roasts I guess. 5 out of 5.
1/26/2017

Mark and Tori
Tastes okay, very similar to Starbucks' dark roasts. Super oily beans are also similar to Starbucks coffee and don't work well with my superautomatic espresso machine
1/25/2017

Ming
To give some context, I prefer dark roasts generally such as French roast or Italian roast. When I tasted this after using the aeropress method, I thought it was unusually strong in terms of flavor -- it had a flavor and roast I never tried before or imagined existed. I could not make out notes of chocolate, but smoke was definitely present or maybe overpowering. Overall, I'd say I liked it but I thought it was too strong (who knows, maybe with time I'll come to enjoy it more) for my current palate.
1/24/2017

Danny
This is my favorite so far as I like the heavier finish along with the bitterness. Looking at the taster's wheel, I tend to favor bolder, bitter, dark chocolate notes, with heavy finishes (longer lingering the better) and fuller the body the better. Perhaps overgeneralizing, this seems to be more typical of columbian roasts. That stated, I'd be interested in trying a long lingering sweet finish and nuttiness more typical of Honduran coffees. Perhaps comparing a single-origin columbian followed by a single-origin Honduran for the next two? I'm currently a little behind bouncing back and forth between the first two deliveries (about half way through both) since I was out of town until recently. Thanks again!
1/22/2017

Nathaniel
I liked that this was dark without having an overly burned taste that you get with a French Roast or Espresso Roast. Though I did get the notes of smoke which were nice. Over all this was a robust dark roast, but maybe something a little bit less roasted while still being in the dark range.
1/20/2017

Andrew and Abbi
Very smooth finish but not something I would buy or try again. The bean was typical of what I usually enjoy.
1/19/2017

Scott
Not as dark and intimidating as double dark sounds. I really enjoy the aroma and color of the beans. The aftertaste may be a bit smokey or too dark for me but overall a great roast.
1/17/2017

Melinda
Perfect! All the rich flavor without bitterness. Do you have others similar to this?
1/14/2017

Michael
Love the darker flavors. Also, feel as though the oilier beans (shade grown?) tend to do better in the French Press. I have tested different steeping times in the press and tend to let this one sit a little longer to bring out more of the flavors. I enjoy that, while dark and bold, the flavor comes in waves allowing you to taste the different flavors in it rather than just one big bold burst of flavors. Definitely would order this coffee again!
1/13/2017

Tanya and Jeff
This is exactly what I like in a bold, dark roast coffee. It has to be strong. I wasn't overly crazy about the chocolate part of the taste, but it wasn't bad either. I would prefer to have coffees that don't have flavors outside of pure coffee in them.
1/11/2017

Roberto
Nice and dark, great flavor. The beans were a bit oily so sometimes had trouble getting through the grinder.
1/10/2017

Lauren
I liked the rich bold taste.
1/9/2017

Linda
Very good but alittle too bold. I like a smoother taste.
1/9/2017

Maegan
Loved the intense flavor, it was the perfect cup of coffee for first thing in the morning. I love bold coffees, and would definitely get this coffee again in the future.
1/9/2017

Kelli & Jeremiah
No bitter aftertaste. Brewed in both "Regular" and "Strong" settings.
1/8/2017

Tanichee
As dark as it was right before I woke up... And with this bold brew I bound out of bed ready to take on the day!
1/8/2017

Kristen
I really enjoyed this one! It had a very bold flavor and brewed very, very dark,
1/8/2017

James
Smokey flavor, excellent aroma, very bold
1/7/2017

Cory
Nice light smoky flavor. Very dark and oily. Missing intense coffee flavor. I got best results blending with other coffees to add a little smoky flavor.
1/5/2017

Marvin
bold and distinct flavor with a hint of sweetness in the finish. Superb!
12/26/2016

Kevin
This is an intense cup of coffee! I usually like my roast just a shade lighter but this may grow on me. I will probably also use it in baking recipes or for cocktails that need a strong coffee flavor.

{Updated 6/4/2017) I've bumped this rating up to 5 stars since having gone through the bag I'm finding myself missing this coffee. One of my favorites from mistobox so far!
12/20/2016

George
Wet beans, full of flavor, rich taste!
11/15/2016

Tim
Very good, smooth dark flavor.
10/30/2016

Daniel
Loved it.
10/29/2016

Katherine
The only flavor I pick up is ash. Tastes very burnt. Not a fan.
10/23/2016

Jack
Not a big fan of the smokey taste but overall a great coffee.
10/16/2016

Kristen
Love the smoky flavor. Delicious all around.
10/8/2016

Benjamin
This coffee is really dark, and has a strong bold flavor. I enjoy it! For me, it's probably right on the edge of being a tiny bit too strong and too dark - but I like it and it's got a great taste.
10/5/2016

Katlin
I loved the intensity of flavor, without having any hints of bitterness.
10/3/2016

Greg
Smooth & Delicious! Most oil I've ever seen in a coffee bean!
9/27/2016

Joshua
It had a very pungent flavor which is something I look for in Tea, not Coffee. I love dark roasts but this ones flavors seemed almost burnt. I know the intention was Double Dark, which gave them a very small margin of error and I think they went too far. I do not want another bag from Dillanos please.
9/23/2016

Richard
Dark flavor but lacked in richness. Did not wow me with the flavor unfortunately.
9/22/2016

Ryan
I liked it, but it was just kind of one-note. All I was really able to get from it was super roasty.
9/17/2016

John
Good. Almost too intense. Maybe need to dial it back a notch.
9/7/2016

Rachel
Don't be intimidated by the midnight black beans with hints of smoke, chocolate and molasses. While the beans are as oily as the Tongan Olympic flag bearer, they are perfectly roasted and not overpowering. This blend is sophisticated enough to drink from breakfast to dessert with a cup or two in between for good measure. I may order this outside of my regular delivery schedule because it was THAT GOOD.
8/21/2016

Ken and Vanessa
Excellent flavor dark and smooth.
8/9/2016

Marisa
This is my kind of coffee. It's perfectly dark without being obnoxiously bitter.
8/1/2016

Scott
Very dark and deep, full of body
7/31/2016

Sandra
HATED this coffee. Going to write you guys separately. When I joined Mistobox, I was VERY specific in what we were looking for. This has vectored so far away from what we wanted that I'm really disgusted. I don't have time to "rate all the coffees" that we get but I feel we have been a good subscriber - but this coffee was the EXACT sort of coffee that we very specifically said that we DISLIKE. I am pouring the whole bag down the garbage disposer. REALLY FRUSTRATED.
7/31/2016

Nancy
Nice full flavor. Great iced.
7/24/2016

Zachary
A bit smoky when made with really hot water, less so with cooler water but still a bit too smoky. If if was a single dark instead of double i think itd be better
7/20/2016

Matthew
The dark, oily beans worried me a bit when I saw them, but in spite of the name, the taste wasn't overpowering. Pretty good overall.
7/14/2016

Jared
Too dark and smoky.
7/12/2016

brian
Dark and edgy, but bland in flavor.
6/25/2016

Rachael & Gabriel
Oh wow! Did we ever love this coffee!! It was so spot on and absolutely delicious! Hot or cold - we enjoyed it soooo much!!!! Thank you!!
6/21/2016

Michael
This coffee is actually much better as a cold brew. It brings out the taste a lot better. It's a good basic coffee. I didn't get much flavor unless it was cold brewed, couldn't taste any of the notes.
6/8/2016

Laura
Tastes like the cafe du monde that I keep as a backup. The reason I'm giving it one star is that is super messy to make. I ended up with coffee dust everywhere.
5/25/2016

April
I found the smell off putting, like dying fish. The taste was dark and smoky but the smell of the whole beans and right after grounding was bothersome.
5/21/2016

Tina
excellent flavor
5/13/2016

Jason
It was full of flavor . One the best we have had .
5/5/2016

Brienz
Definitely dark and flavorful. Delicious!
4/28/2016

Kristopher
Zero flavor other than carbonized beans....
4/15/2016

JD
Upon opening the bag, I noticed that the beans were considerably darker and more oily than previous coffees we've received. Beyond the extreme bitterest, there aren't any other distinct notes I can find. I don't think I'll be finishing this bag.
4/2/2016

Ryan
Just like the description says, super dark and bold. Does have this creaminess to it I love.. Great as cold brew.
3/26/2016

Joseph
Fantastic!
3/16/2016

chas
For the spouse, who can't get it darkly roasted enough. This is a good one, though. Sumptuous and smoky and deep.
3/5/2016

Richard
Favorite one I've received yet. Loved the finish! Just a delicious, complex, bold flavor.
2/24/2016

Matthew
This is one of the darkest coffees I have had in the past year - much darker than my usual choice of coffees and so I feared disliking the Dillanos. However I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor in both french press and pour over format. That said my preference probably lies toward something not quite as dark, with a bias away from the chocolate undertones of this Dillanos.
2/18/2016

Lynn & Dan
dark, rich, smooth
2/6/2016

Nathan
This was an awesome cup. Smoky and bold as hell. From the first smell of the ground beans to the last drop of coffee, this one was strong.
2/4/2016

Allison
smoky, bold, rich
2/4/2016

Joel
Too dark for me. It tasted like the flavor had been roasted out of it.
2/4/2016

Lynn
This coffe is terrific. I very much like the full robust flavor.
1/29/2016

Kenneth
Incredibly dark coffee, bold, very smokey, hints of chocolate, with very little bitterness. Not for the faint of heart. Dark roast lovers will appreciate the coffee. Light roast drinkers will enjoy the change of pace. Rating 4.4
1/29/2016

Dad
Probably the darkest roast I've encountered and just explodes with flavor. I French press it, pour it over ice and make an exquisite Iced FauxAmericano. BUT if you don't like really dark intense coffee, this may not be the one for you.
1/23/2016

Dad
So dark you can't even see it. French press it, pour over a small scoop of ice cream and you have the Affogato of the Gods. Yum.
1/22/2016

Christine
Great rich flavor. Will buy this again.
1/20/2016

Giorgio
Great coffee with next to no bitterness. personally it is a bit too smokey. great for one cup but after two it gets a bit obnoxious.
Update: Now after having quite a few cups of this it is even more amazing. The smokeyness grows on you and eventually you begin to notice the other nutty and chocolaty flavors. The after taste always leaves you wanting another sip!
1/18/2016

Derek
too dark
1/16/2016

Matthew
I like the smooth, dark roast. The Smokey flavor is more noticeable than the chocolate undertone. I have since the original review, taken less of a liking for this coffee. It is extremely bitter. The smokiness is very heavy, perhaps overpowering.
1/11/2016

Matthew
I like darker roast, but for me this is too dark. It was incredibly smoky which might appeal to others, but it was too much for me.
1/11/2016

Andrew
Great dark flavor and even better aroma. Some chocolate notes but not too much and some bitterness but not too bitter. Not super complex but very enjoyable.
1/9/2016

Veronica
Each night, I went to bed looking forward to the morning when I would make a large french press of Dillanos Double Dark Blend. This is such a delicious coffee! My favorite so far.
1/9/2016

Victoria
Great rich tasting coffee.
1/7/2016

Jessica
I tasted ashes and burning. I think it was too dark for me. Too roasted. It was drinkable, but not my favorite.
1/6/2016

Jock
Excellent flavor, just a bit chalky. We drink our coffee black and prefer a robust flavor, dark roast, e.g. Starbucks Sumatra or most French Roasts. This was comparable
1/3/2016

David
Outstanding. We loved this one.
12/29/2015

The first coffee that I have gotten here that has been a little too dark for my liking. This one is incredibly bold and intense.

I loved this roast. Dark but smooth. Oil content is wonderful. My fiancée thought that it tasted slightly burnt. Then later said it grew on him. I am not of the same opinion. I really enjoyed this roast.

Delicious! Definitely dark and full bodied. Could be a little more aromatic, but enjoyed the flavor a lot!

To avoid if you have a fully automatic expresso machine. The level of oil is so high that beans in the container are slipping and can't get caught to go in the grinder. It's almost impossible to make an espresso on our delonghi machine....
If you have an internal grinder on your machine stay away from this oily coffee beans.

I really love the chocolate flavor of this coffee. But I'm not at all a fan of the smokiness- it's a bit too overpowering for me. Overall, though the smoothness and intenseness is nice- smokiness just isnt for me

I've always been a big fan of dark roasted coffees. While this is by far the oiliest coffee I've had, the flavor is fantastic. I use it with my french press, following the ratio provided on the bag, and it turns out great every time.
