Coffee Story
Description
This is the Seabright House Blend brought to you by Verve Coffee Roasters. While the components of this blend change seasonally, Verve keeps a consistent flavor profile to produce a round, creamy body, and a coffee that is classically sweet and balanced. It starts with a mild tartness of bing cherry with a sweetness like warm Marzipan and a clean and distinct finish, calling you back for the next sip.

Very good - nice flavor
6/21/2022
This is simple amazing... As goldielocks said to the 3 bears "it's not to bitter and it's not to bold, it's just right".
3/14/2022
I find myself bumping up the grams per brew to get the strength I like from these lighter roasted coffee’s. My palate is not tuned for these more subtle nuances yet.
8/25/2021
Deep rich chocolate flavor with smooth nuttiness. A solid cup, but nothing extraordinary.
5/16/2021
I liked the slight sweetness in this one.
4/10/2021
Delicious!
2/22/2021
Very good. This coffee reminds me of sitting at a campfire. Notes of nuttiness and somehow get a faint note of apple. Love the creamy body.
2/4/2021
Very good
1/21/2021
Really great flavor. I make a visit to Verve every time I go to LA because it's so good

Brew Method: V60 Pour Over
Ratio: 17:1 to 15:1
It's pretty good but not great. Need to brew it stronger than typical to avoid tasting a bit thin.

It was good, but not great. Not a standout.
8/20/2020
This one was hard to finish....
6/26/2020
Good flavor just wish it was a tad bit stronger
6/3/2020
I bit too nutty
5/24/2020
One of my favorite coffees I’ve ever tried! So smooth with a great flavor profile.
5/14/2020
Good but a little acidic
4/25/2020
Better than a keurig coffee, but not very good ( for our taste buds ).
4/23/2020
Delicious!!!
4/20/2020
I can't remember what specifically I enjoyed about this coffee, but I remember being sad it was gone.
4/17/2020
Good smooth flavor
4/17/2020
Enjoyed
4/16/2020
Light and crisp with a nice dry cocoa flavor
4/15/2020
Verve has been a new favorite of mine due to the nice nutty notes that are not overpowering, then complemented by subtle chocolate notes.
4/14/2020
Best home brewed coffee I've ever had. This was beautiful in the chemex!
4/12/2020
A little light
4/11/2020
Light, smooth, and well balanced. The flavor profile was enjoyable but I wasn't really getting any chocolate notes from it.
4/8/2020
Solid coffee. Would like to try something bolder.
4/5/2020
Very tasty
4/5/2020
Nice mellow flavor that isn't too strong or weak. As my mom puts it, "doesn't give me a headache."
4/5/2020
I liked it, but not my favorite. It had a bitter aftertaste.
4/4/2020
If I could, I would have given this a 3.5. It feels like a great coffee to have around for an everyday cup. Because of the current state of things, I think I'm just looking for something more impactful as making coffee is becoming such an important daily ritual in staying motivated. I think I would enjoy being taken on a more wild journey in my picks, just for the fun of it. Something to spice the stay at home days up.
4/4/2020
Can be a bit sour, but grinding finer helped smooth out some a lot of the acid and make a bright and pleasant cup.
4/3/2020
Very solid. I enjoy the balance and lack of acidity, but could probably go with something slightly more roasty. Great start!
4/3/2020
It was good but a little too light and acidic for my taste.
4/2/2020
Stale tasting; flavor subpar
4/2/2020
Wasn't my favorite but it was ok.
4/1/2020
It's a little too sweet for me. Definitely not bad, but I'd prefer
something a little more robust.
something a little more robust.
4/1/2020
Just ok. Too acidic. Tasted sour to me.
3/31/2020
I hate it. It's too bitter and it's not DARK ROAST.
3/31/2020
Pretty good overall but nothing that really stands out
3/31/2020
The tasting notes are different than what's on this site (cherry, marzipan, clean). This is a good, light coffee!
3/29/2020
it is a bit too nutty for me tasting but i still enjoyed it!
3/28/2020
Expected more from this. It was just OK. Did not get the chocolate notes as much
3/28/2020
Good flavor, but a little too light once brewed, as an espresso.
3/26/2020
Loved this!
3/23/2020
I did not love this coffee. the finish is not my favorite taste. I cannot seem to put my finger on what it is.
3/23/2020
Light, airy, good cup.
3/22/2020
This was a weird one for me. The tasting notes in Mistobox say Chocolate, Nutty. However, the tasting notes on the package say Cherry, Marzipan. This blend was too bright and acidic for me, and caused issues for my sensitive stomach.
3/21/2020
Too fruity, not as dark as expected
3/19/2020
Excellent!
3/19/2020
Good everyday coffee. No wow factor but very balanced and enjoyable.
3/18/2020
Smooth and mild. So far this has been my favorite coffee that I have received. It's got lots of flavors, particularly the chocolate notes that I really enjoy. Very well balanced.
3/16/2020
Too light
3/16/2020
I may have brewed too weak but it tasted like a cross between tea and coffee. will try again.
3/15/2020
I loved it
3/13/2020
Never received
3/13/2020
A little sour, not as chocolaty and nutty as I would lime
3/13/2020
Enjoyable but not 100% to my taste.
3/11/2020
didn't dial in too many good drinks. getting used to a new machine. me or the beans? maybe too bright for our tastes
3/11/2020
It is really good. The under tones are very subtle, and I definitely like the creamy notes. It's almost buttery, but not quite. It took me a little to get my ratios down. I'm normally not a huge fan of softer blends, but this was a good one.
3/11/2020
Solid all around coffee, but not particularly unique or interesting.
3/10/2020
Great coffee, still trying to hone in my Hario hand grinder to get the perfect cup! Coffee is excellent wonderful balanced. Definitely on the lighter side of medium but still tasty. Was an excellent choice for my first month.
3/9/2020
Well balanced and lighter than the coffee I normally drink. Definitely enjoyed the roundness of it.
3/9/2020
Loved this one! Great flavor and not overpowering. Not at all bitter.
3/7/2020
Excellent body, strong flavors. Loved it
3/5/2020
Solid safe coffee. I’d love to try something more unique.
3/4/2020
Lacked some depth
3/4/2020
Bold flavor - not too acidic. Perfect morning coffee.
*After a couple weeks of drinking, we've reconsidered. Not enough flavor for us. We like a bold cup!

3/2/2020
We really enjoyed this, smooth and exactly what we like.
2/27/2020
Didn’t really care for it. Looking for a more bold taste along the lines of a Kenyan AA, Guatemalan or a Sumatra.
2/26/2020
I thought it was “undrinkable”. I thought it was pretty good.
2/25/2020
Being my first bag, I thought the Verve Blend was ok — there wasn’t that much of a distinct flavor that stood out for me. I think In my future bags, I’d like more flavor in my beans. It was a till a good first bag of coffee, but now I’m excited for a little more adventure in my cup!
2/24/2020
It had an unusual taste which was good but I wasn’t overwhelmed by it.
2/23/2020
Enjoyed
2/20/2020
Love!
2/20/2020
Enjoyed the flavor. Great both hot and cold! Would like to explore coffees with more floral notes as well
2/20/2020
I really liked this one! Smooth yet nuanced flavor. A great morning coffee for sure.
2/19/2020
Too light bodied for me— a bit too bitter. Not my favorite style/roast
2/19/2020
Nice coffee blend so far have brewed in a French press and really like the balance and great for drinking black without being overly bitter or acidic.
Going to try using some in a moka pot over the weekend to see how that fares in a slightly more concentrated brew!

2/19/2020
Not my favorite, flavor-wise
2/19/2020
I enjoyed it, can I try a dark roast next batch
2/17/2020
Very sweet and chocolatey. I wish it had a more clean and had distinct flavor notes instead of a blended and muddied profile. Great roast overall, very enjoyable.
2/17/2020
A little more sharp than I prefer. I will test with different brewing ratios and grinds.
2/17/2020
Not bad! A little sharp for me. Liked the nutty notes
2/16/2020
A fine "house" coffee, very middling across the board. Cherry notes on the finish were noticeable and not what I would typically look for. I did not get much of any nut character out of this.
2/15/2020
Tastes a bit like hay. Doesn't have a very strong coffee flavor to me.
2/14/2020
The coffee was definitely very good. I use a Breville Barista Express to pull espresso shots, which have been pretty consistent. My only gripe is that the flavor dissipates significantly with even the smallest addition of milk or cream. In contrast, for example, Onyx's Monarch Espresso continues to shine through the addition of dairy. Either way, solid coffee!
2/13/2020
Loved this coffee
2/12/2020
Loved it
2/11/2020
It was too strong. Did not like it at all
2/11/2020
Very smooth, creamy, and balanced. Brewed using a Hario V60 pour over. Delicious!
2/10/2020
Did not date for the cherry notes
2/10/2020
Another solid blend! Would order this one again.
2/9/2020
Didn't really like the fruitiness of this coffee
2/8/2020
We really liked this one.
2/5/2020
Was very acidic and almost sour. Definitely don't want to repeat ones like this. We're learning as we go as well! :)
2/5/2020
Very sweet, smooth, easy to drink. I’ll definitely buy Seabright again
2/4/2020
Hint of fruit, likely from being described as "cherry", not ideal. Overall a very smooth cup of coffee. Maybe for the next bag, we try to go a bit darker and emphasize the chocolate/nutty/caramel notes heavily, If it proves too much, we will at least be bookending the flavor profile inward and homing in on the best coffee style for us. Blend vs. single origin is definitely nice though. Thanks!
2/4/2020
Really good coffee, well balanced and pairs well with almost anything.
2/3/2020
Very good. Ground a little too fine. Looking for maybe a little brighter next time.
2/3/2020
It was just ok. I don’t need to ever drink this one again.
2/1/2020
I loved this coffee. It was my first through mistobox. I will definitely be ordering this again!
2/1/2020
We liked how smooth this one was!
1/31/2020
I didn't like the slight, fruity bitterness. Maybe something more earthy next time?
1/29/2020
Its yummy. The chocolate notes are... interesting. I like very bright coffees so this is one of the "heaviest" (if that's even a way to explain it) coffees I have ever liked.
1/28/2020
JUICY
1/27/2020
Basic
1/27/2020
Really smooth and flavorful.
1/27/2020
l loved this one. The scent is great and it cold brews nicely. The body is a little bit lighter than I expected, but I find that pleasant.
1/27/2020
It has a nice clean flavor
1/26/2020
Good but not ideal
1/26/2020
Very smooth coffee, but a little too light for my taste.
1/26/2020
Very balanced, a bit too much so. As ristretto, mild, with just a hint of chocolate/fudge. As long or hand poured coffee, too acidic, with an odd fruity/acidic sweetness. Not quite my cup of tea.
1/25/2020
Great coffee, good flavor. Would prefer something heavier and darker roast.
1/24/2020
This is a fantastic coffee - I like the flavor profile
1/24/2020
Good, nutty, but bitter. Looking for a smoother taste
1/23/2020
Probably my favorite so far. I love these slightly nutty flavors. Keep it up mistobox.
1/23/2020
Excellent. Clean, balanced taste. Pairs well with anything. Found it to be a nice "anytime of day" roast. Very pleased and would highly recommend it to anyone in search of a medium, light roast.
1/21/2020
Using Kuierig reusable k-cups for first time so took me a few brews to get it right. Found that grinding the bean pretty fine gives lots of flavor. Great coffee! Thanks.
1/21/2020
Smooth full flavor not better
1/19/2020
I did not expect to like a medium roast coffee but I enjoyed this a lot. The brightness/ cherry tartness was really pleasant. I would love to try other similar flavor profiles.
1/19/2020
Delicious! Tasting notes appreciable even to amateur palate
1/19/2020
Easy drinking smooth blend.
1/19/2020
Loved this!! Would love to get it again in the future.
1/19/2020
I really enjoyed the medium-light roast of this coffee. I would enjoy more light and medium roasts in my next shipment. I also like the chocolate/nutty flavors on the Seabright!
1/18/2020
Decent cup of coffee but nothing special. Felt the nutty flavor was a little too strong.
1/16/2020
Too acidic and bitter
1/16/2020
Balanced, a tad bitter, but overall smooth.
1/16/2020
Nice, clean flavor. Would like something a little bolder and richer in flavor next time.
1/16/2020
Smells great out of the bag. Rich taste but weak on the flavor.
1/14/2020
Good, not bitter. Tastes great just drinking black, no additives needed.
1/14/2020
The roast was fine, but I didn't like the taste/aftertaste.
1/14/2020
It was as excellent! We just started using it today.
1/13/2020
This may sound strange, but the coffee almost has a sour flavor. Not in a way that it's gone bad; it's just so distinct. The roast level was great. I was surprised to see chocolate in the description, we perceived it was expressly not chocolatey. Still good though.
1/13/2020
This was the best one
1/13/2020
Maybe a little sweet and mild in flavor. I might be after something a little darker and more bold.
1/12/2020
We liked it...sweet and balanced is what we like
1/11/2020
Not my thing
1/11/2020
I didn't get the chocolate-y. Definitely had a fruitier flavor to me. It is good but not my favorite.
1/11/2020
No flavor, some would say it tastes clean I guess. Lots of caffeine though. Not a fan of light roasts
1/11/2020
Much too blond for my taste. I don’t necessarily want a dark or French roast but this was pretty bland.
1/11/2020
A little light for my taste.
1/11/2020
I think that I might have enjoyed a chocolate nutty blend, but the coffee I received was a cherry marzipan. Not a big fan of marzipan. Even the scent of the coffee is not appealing.
1/10/2020
unfortunately i did not enjoy this coffee. it was clean and smooth tasting but i in my opinion it was too weak. i would rather a stronger coffee
1/9/2020
Wonderful flavor! Definitely plan to buy more!
1/8/2020
Very smooth with balanced flavor - a winner.
1/8/2020
A little milder than I usually prefer. Nice flavor just could have been a bit stronger.
1/8/2020
Great light bodied coffee
1/8/2020
Very weak taste.Would never reorder.
1/8/2020
Too light, darker blend or single origin next time would be better
1/8/2020
I liked this coffee a lot-however, I didn't taste the chocolate notes which is fine..I'm new to coffee world so would like to try a variety of coffees. I prefer low acid coffee. I recently had Cafe Mam french roast which I also liked a lot -just to give an indication of type of coffee I have enjoyed in the past.
1/8/2020
Good light flavor
1/8/2020
Smooth flavor. Easy on the taste buds. I did not get a chocolate flavor however.
1/8/2020
A little too sweet, I like my coffee bolder.
1/7/2020
Very good quality however I prefer a slightly darker roast. I would rate this roast as a 4/10 and I'd like to get to 6/10.
1/5/2020
We didn’t love the aftertaste. Not sure if it was because We do French press coffee usually. Was not a good flavor to mix with espresso shots
1/4/2020
It was good and balanced
1/4/2020
Prefer a bit more of a bold taste
1/2/2020
Wonderful coffee!
1/2/2020
It has a really good, full-bodied flavor
1/2/2020
Great choice!
1/2/2020
Very mild
1/1/2020
Smells Earthy but liked the smooth taste.
1/1/2020
The coffee had good flavor but was too light for my tastes.
1/1/2020
Light, bright and very good. This was my first MistoBox, and so far, very impressive. I received this coffee 2 days after the roast date!!
1/1/2020
Smooth, Balanced, very nice. would personally prefer a bolder coffee, however.
12/31/2019
Very smooth and tasty.
12/31/2019
Very smooth and satisfying. A great brew for a multi-person household.
12/30/2019
Wonderfully nutty, especially with a bit of heavy cream.
12/30/2019
It was good! A little light and low on the chocolate, caramely notes that I usually go for. A little too much of a fruity, bright, acidic flavor.
12/29/2019
Good flavor.
12/27/2019
it was great
12/26/2019
Good flavor but a bit too fruity
12/25/2019
Too fruity
12/23/2019
It was great, it was very balanced and fun to drink. It was very different than what I usually drink and I enjoyed it immensely.
12/21/2019
Tasted too weak. Had no flavor. Even tried brewing it twice adding more coffee.
12/21/2019
Very flavorful without high acidity. Would buy again.
12/18/2019
I loved this coffee. So fresh and creamy. Very chocolaty and bright. Also smells delicious, too. Perfect pick for my taste.
12/17/2019
A little too bitter on the after taste
12/15/2019
This was my favorite in a while. The espresso always comes out super creamy and thick, and the flavor is dynamite.
12/11/2019
Prefer a stronger coffee
12/9/2019
My bag says it has cherry, marzipan, and clean blend. Although it is not very fruit forward I did enjoy the smoothness of this coffee. It is a bright and fresh tasting blend that I enjoyed.
12/9/2019
Felt a bit over roasted but was very nutty and chocolatey. Lacked the fruity notes I enjoy
12/1/2019
Would like to try something a bit lighter maybe.
11/19/2019
Way too bitter. Tried different brewing methods and they all came out bitter.
11/13/2019
Great flavor!
10/22/2019
Way too bitter for my taste
10/8/2019
Nice daily driver. Smooth, balanced.
9/15/2019
Lacked the depth and richness I was expecting. A good cup of coffee, but not my favorite
9/9/2019
Really enjoyed this coffee!
9/3/2019
Love it! The acidity and chocolate notes were really nice. I like it best with the chemex.
9/2/2019
Can taste the fudgey notes really well when brewed in a cold brew pitcher. After 32 hours of steeping, you could taste the coconut flavoring. Very refreshing and smooth. Also satisfying.
8/12/2019
Too bitter and unclean, and too acidic in undertone
7/28/2019
Good one
6/29/2019
One of my favorites so far. Complex, great body. Love the nuttiness. Right level of acidity. Nice as pour over or in french press.
6/27/2019
love love love. one of my all time faves
5/16/2019
Very smooth and just the right amount of sweet.
5/7/2019
Tasty!
5/2/2019
Nice, full body. Well balanced between sweet, rich, and flavor.
4/30/2019
Very tasty espresso, smooth and sweet.
4/14/2019
Really enjoyed the flavors
4/14/2019
Great flavor, very smooth.
2/27/2019
Lighter than my normal preference but this had the perfect coffee taste...not fruity or nutty or anything special, just coffee done right.
2/10/2019
Ok, not as smooth
2/6/2019
Kinda boring
1/20/2019
This may be my favorite so far!! I so enjoy drinking it every morning. More like this one please!!!!!!!
1/17/2019
Yummy
12/15/2018
This is my second back from Verve coffee, and I think perhaps I'm just not a Verve fan. There are some better chocolate notes as you drink it cold, but overall, it's just not that great.
11/19/2018
Wasn't a huge fan of this one.
10/18/2018
Not bad, but not as good as the last batch.
10/16/2018
very fragrant
10/13/2018
Really like this one a lot!
10/9/2018
Very nice but somewhat particular when it comes to brewing technique.
9/27/2018
Nice, balanced flavors- chocolate/fudgy. Even though I do like some bold smoky flavors sometimes, this is not bitter, yet also not too sweet for my liking- nice balance.
9/19/2018
this one was too light. body was strange, watery, so matter how many beans i used in the grind
9/17/2018
Great flavor
9/12/2018
Good balance of flavors. Paired well with my apple this morning for breakfast
9/11/2018
Favorite coffee I’ve received so far!
9/8/2018
In my opinion, it was pretty acidic. The chocolate was easy to pick up, but I was not about to catch the nutty notes. It was decent, but nothing to write home about.
8/24/2018
This is my favorite coffee so far! Rich with a hint of coconut.
8/22/2018
Just OK
8/17/2018
Good, solid coffee
8/7/2018
Lots of sour and acid notes
7/15/2018
Really chocolatey and smooth! Really enjoyed this coffee.
7/14/2018
This coffee worked really well as an evening coffee or an early morning coffee.
7/8/2018
I have had this coffee many times before subscribing to mistobox. I love it.
6/15/2018
Smells great, lingering tobacco and spices. But very acidic.
5/30/2018
This was an excellent coffee. Had a rich mouthfeel with a delicate dance between the chocolate and nutty flavors.
5/23/2018
Nice coffee, smooth, nutty, fudgy like it said. Would buy this again.
5/17/2018
Absolutely delicious blend! Definitely one of the best shipments I've had so far!
4/26/2018
Amazing! One of the best coffee shipments I've had so far with Mistobox. Loved the dark chocolatey and nutty flavors without it being too heavy and acidic.
4/25/2018
Very acidic, almost sour, smelled like iron or something. Not bad but not my favorite
4/20/2018
Too bitter and acidic
3/30/2018
This was good but not amazing. The flavor was not very complex or memorable. It was a bit weaker than I like (I like light to medium coffees).
3/26/2018
Nice aroma and a tasty brew. Great easy Sunday morning cup of coffee.
3/19/2018
Nice balance overall.
3/14/2018
A little too floral for my tastes
3/14/2018
very smooth
3/11/2018
Weak.
3/11/2018
Nice flavor when brewed a bit strong, very smooth and perfect for the morning cuppa. It's noted as medium-light and I think my preference may be more towards the medium-dark. Still a very enjoyable coffee.
2/26/2018
Has an odd acidic taste
2/10/2018
Loving this coffee, especially the nutty notes!
1/29/2018
Great coffee with nice body.
1/26/2018
Loved every last drop of this coffee. Bold flavor and smooth acidity.
1/24/2018
Perfect!
1/24/2018
Prefer a bit stronger and sweeter. I try to replicate what I taste when I have coffee in Italy.
1/22/2018
Amazing scent from the coffee beans! Taste was good, but on the light side for me. Overall, a good start!
1/20/2018
I liked this coffee. It was a bit lighter than I normally drink, but I liked the smoothness of it. Perhaps a bit fruity for me, if anything.
1/17/2018
First Impression: Flavorful and good
The Roast: Somewhat light. I think I would like a darker and more robust roast, but I will also be modifying my aeropress method which could make a difference.
Flavors: I liked the chocolatiness. I also enjoyed the balance and smoothness.

Really enjoying this coffee! Very well rounded and balanced. The chocolate notes shine through nicely.

New taster here. I liked this coffee a lot - could definitely taste the chocolate notes. I will probably like a bolder coffee more, but I'll need more experience to know for sure.
1/15/2018
I love this one.
1/14/2018
I can tell this is a quality coffee, but I do not like the style. I prefer a bolder coffee and a darker roast.
NOTE: This is at least the 3rd time that I have made notes on this selection. Is there anyway to know the notes are delivered and a way to view past notes?

Only had one cup so far, but I liked the nutty flavor. First cup might have been a little too thin or light, and had a slightly metallic taste, but I liked the flavor difference from what I've been drinking so far (SBX Pike Place).
1/13/2018
It’s okay. A little on the bitter side. It has a little of a sour/bitter aftertaste.
1/13/2018
RIch, chocolatey, delicious. I will be very sad when the bag is empty!
1/8/2018
I loved it. I have a friend from Santa Cruz and she just gifted me a bag for Christmas :) Great coffee
1/3/2018
Hey man. I really don't care for this one. Can you go ahead ship the next one? Coconut falvored.
12/31/2017
Good flavor balance, some citrus but not tons.
12/5/2017
tastes nice as a french press, does have a slight acid aftertaste
11/27/2017
Notes not bad, but a little weak.
11/23/2017
smooth and creamy as described, decent depth of flavor
11/19/2017
Did you enjoy the Seabright House Blend more or less than your first coffee?
I enjoyed the Seabright slightly less than the Bravissimo blend.
Did you like the roast level (bean color)?
This is about the darkest roast level I'd prefer to see. Typically, I like lighter roasts more.
What flavors did you like or dislike?
I liked that it was balanced and smooth, but it didn't have a distinct flavor that I love. It wasn't burnt or bad tasting, but just "alright" - there were no nuanced flavors that really stood out for me. I've had single origins from Verve like their Ethiopian that I found to be more bold and enjoyable to drink.

Nice balance
11/6/2017
Did not care for this one at all. Made me want to stop drinking after half a cup.
10/28/2017
Amazing smell, very rounded taste.
10/25/2017
Nothing at all wrong with this coffee, just not one of the favorites and not as good on our palates as all the others so far. Seems to have a slightly bitter aftertaste I was not expecting and don't love.
10/21/2017
Definitely a favorite the initial smell was excellent.
10/18/2017
Made my last cold brew batch of the year with this Seabright House Blend from Verve. It was not nearly as good as the batch I made using Three Star Blend from Populace Coffee. I've heard a lot of good things about Verve, so I'm more than willing to give them another try. Maybe the cooler room temps affected the outcome of my cold brew.
9/19/2017
To me, this coffee just tastes like... coffee. It's smoother and a bit balanced, but nothing special. I've brewed it several times myself and had some baristas make some on a kalita wave (same as my device); actually it was a lot better (to me and the baristas at Vesta in vegas) than the Cat & Cloud Guatemalan Francisco Morales I also had them brew.
So all-in-all, decent coffee, but nothing special. I think I prefer more fruity notes, but I still don't have the vocabulary to truly express what I'm tasting (good or bad). I just know the majority of the espresso's I enjoy tend to be on the chocolate or fruit side.
Excited for the next coffee!

8/28/2017
Great coffee
8/14/2017
I really enjoyed the coconut notes in this coffee
8/1/2017
It was perfect. Mellow and flavorful, bright enough to drink straight with no cream or sugar.
7/24/2017
Too nutty for my taste. Slight bitter aftertaste and hard to dial in for the perfect cup.
7/14/2017
Loved this one Carmel undertones super tasty
6/13/2017
Nice coffee, really enjoy it. Only giving it 4 stars due to the fact that I haven't got a lot of brands and flavors to compare it too. So far though it is delicious and I can definitely taste the nuttiness.
6/11/2017
Delicious!!!!!
6/10/2017
Nutty, slightly smoky, full-bodied.
6/7/2017
This is as good of coffee as I've ever had in my life. LOVE IT. So smooth
6/4/2017
Good coffee, a little light and straightforward for my tastes, but I can't fault the quality.
6/1/2017
Really liked this one. Better than the Kickapoo. Very smooth, sweet, and nutty. Would try something slightly darker but otherwise this is close to my ideal house blend.
5/30/2017
Bitter aftertaste
5/29/2017
Excellent!
5/28/2017
Easily in my top 2! Great aroma, flavor. Nutty and complex, smoooth! Superb.
5/26/2017
Love the smooth, creamy body. Subtle sweet notes without being overly sweet. Very low acidity. (drip brewed)
5/15/2017
First cup - pretty good. But over next few days found the nutty levels to be too much and not rich enough. Not a huge fan but ok. I would prefer rich and sweeter
5/14/2017
Good creamy body, and I like the sweetness that follows in the aftertaste. It's a little more acidic than I expected, especially when you brew as pourover, but all in all a good solid coffee.
5/14/2017
This is a nicely balanced cup of coffee.
5/8/2017
I really really like this one! It's so delicious and smooth!
5/4/2017
Outstanding. I almost cancelled my subscription until this arrived. Only for financial reasons.... however after getting this coffee in the mail and seeing it was literally sent directly to me from the roaster and was roasted just the day before i couldn't justify postponing my subscription. I become more obsessed with coffee each day and having beans this fresh sent to my doorstep directly from the roaster is way to awesome to pass up. And this coffee lived up to all the hype I've heard about verve. I brew with an aero press and made my first cup with a metal filter and really liked it but found it to be a little to bright acidic in the finish wich made me worry the roast may have been a little to light for my tastes. I dident taste the nutty chocolate notes described probably because once I pick up on too much acidity in the coffee thats all my kind focuses on. I made my second cup with the paper filters bumped my grind up one coarseness and lowered my brew temp from just over 200 degrees to 195 and It really came alive. A really nice toasted nut note up front with a super smooth dark choclate finish. Or atleast thats what my novice palate took away from it. I've repeated this brew process (30 gram coffee to 250 gram water) and have been incredibly happy with the results. So far you have sent me two of the freshest and best tasteing coffee I have ever had the pleasure of brewing and enjoying and I look forward to keeping this subscribtion for a long time
4/30/2017
Did not like the flavor
4/28/2017
This coffee is amazing. Not quite perfect (needs a bit more chocolate flavor peeking through) but this is quite excellent.
4/28/2017
I really liked this coffee. It had a good flavor with a smooth finish.
4/24/2017
Brewed with Aeropress. Chocolate for sure. I got a slight hint of the coconut. Smelled sweeter when ground than I tasted in the cup. Also, didn't notice much fruity acidity mentioned in many of the reviews.
UPDATE:It got better. After 2 weeks the slight coconut is not as noticeable but the acidity was more pronounced. Not overpowering but very balanced with a creamy mouth feel.(using Clever dripper)

4/19/2017
I loved the overall flavor of this coffee so much, possibly some of the best coffee I have ever had! I would definitely try more ones like this.
4/9/2017
This one wasn't as much of a favortite... the citrus noyes came through and I realized I wasn't a fan of that.
3/28/2017
Outstanding
3/26/2017
Flavor profile is very consistent with my experience. To me, the flavor is mild and a good daily cup.
3/21/2017
it's OK... i don't love it, i don't dislike it.
3/19/2017
Living in the Bay Area we get a lot of opportunities to sip Verve coffees. The Seabright blend is actually one of my go-to pour-overs at my local coffee shop. I really like the level of citrus and the balance with the chocolate/roasty notes in this one. I like this coffee, for sure, but would appreciate the opportunity to taste more non NorCal blends!
3/13/2017
Not sure what to rate it seeing as how this is my first choice other than foldgers lol. But I really enjoyed the fudgy chocolatey flavors. I was looking forward to the citrus and chocolate it did it was going to be, but when I got it it was coconut and chocolate. But that's okay it was still good!
3/11/2017
Made using Bodum Pour over, blade grinder ground "to order"
Tended to not like the body on this as much as the previous coffee. tended to come out slightly sour, although that might be an extraction problem. Noticed the citrus, but it was very subtle, didn't get much cocoa notes at all.

3/10/2017
Pretty good. Still too much citrus going on.
3/5/2017
Although it is a good coffee I am looking for more of a bold coffee. I enjoy a dark roast!
3/4/2017
Very drinkable coffee but doesn't have a "wow" factor.
3/3/2017
So smooth with just a touch of acidity and just a subtle hint of chocolate. I did brew this with a Chemex primarily so it took that body out of it. Will try it in my Moka Pot and see how that tastes. But great flavor. I was afraid I wouldn't like this milder roast but it was great.
3/3/2017
superb
2/18/2017
I thought it was great but I might like to try something slightly darker next time.
2/16/2017
I'm enjoying this coffee. I'm not sure about the citrus portion but it is a good coffee.
2/13/2017
A good tasting coffee with an amazing smell. Had a roasty taste to it. Still not sure if I like lighter or darker beans.
2/12/2017
Really liked this blend! Smooth and the chocolate was a nice touch.
2/12/2017
I'm a big fan of this one. It's a good balance of flavor.
2/11/2017
really tasty!
2/9/2017
I liked this better than the shipment from Good Folks. I really enjoyed the mild flavor and the creamy mouthfeel.
2/8/2017
Seems like every time we have some Verve coffee we are satisfied. Really well balanced with great citrus notes.
2/8/2017
I was thoroughly impressed with this blend, and have enjoyed using it most days. While I have still added some sweetened creamer and a simple syrup, it is much less than I've used in home brews (and what a coffee shop would use) in the past. This coffee has a very nice profile that doesn't feel harsh, and is quite pleasant to consume. The brew does have a very distinct cocoa flavor, which was a nice change. The blend is described to also have a subtle "citrus" flavor, to what I was very excited to taste. The citrus flavor is so subtle it is something I only tasted as an afterthought, but there was a nice transition between the two flavors.
2/5/2017
Did not like the chocolate tones. Don't really like flavored coffee. Would like future coffees to be mostly unflavored
2/4/2017
Spot on with this blend. Two days of consistent coffee and I am excited for my next cup tomorrow. Love the flavor! Send more in this range. I am excited to see what roasters you come up with next!
2/4/2017
It's nice to have some good coffee in the house again, thank you! Really a delight to open the package and take in the first breath. I haven't had a chance to really mull over the aroma and flavour profile (grad student so it's often drink and dash unfortunately) but I did like my first impression on it. It was on the acidic side these first few brews I made, but that might also be because my setup has been adapated to the dark roasts I've had for the last little while - changing the grain size and brewing process will probably help there (moka pot)
2/2/2017
This coffee was bright and refreshing. My wife made my first cup. I was pleasantly surprised at the rich flavor of citrus that came along with the taste of coffee in the morning.
1/30/2017
I quite like this coffee. I've been a Buena Vista Dark Roast person for the last year or so when I buy Verve, but this coffee is also quite good. The next time I buy directly from Verve it will be a bag of this.
1/26/2017
I have enjoyed this coffee both black and with frothed whole milk. I enjoyed the smoothness, and the lack of acidity compared to my normal cup. It had a good set of flavors, and stood up well to the taste of the milk, which I appreciate as others I've tried are overpowered. The citrus flavors helped to wake me up, and were very enjoyable. I really liked this blend, and could recommend this as a good 'every day coffee'.
1/26/2017
The Seabright House Blend is a bit too citrus for me.
1/23/2017
Citrus flavor a little overpowering.
1/23/2017
This is an excellent bag! Probably one of our favorites! Very smooth
1/22/2017
I generally do not go for flavored coffee. If I go I prefer vanilla flavors, but not vanilla-nut as I do not like nutty coffee.
1/21/2017
Excellent taste! This coffee brews perfectly. It's very balanced and drinks equally well by itself as well as with food.
1/21/2017
It was very good and exciting But I am new to citrus in coffee and so it might take a little time to get used to. But it does have a fantastic balance and I would probably rated higher But I wanted to try some other ones first before I give it the full five stars
1/20/2017
Very smooth would like a bit bolder
1/19/2017
Too much citrus flavor. Would like a darker roast.
1/18/2017
The first time I made the coffee I didn't like it at all, the second cup was better, and by the third time I really liked it. There's a too much citrus in the cup for me, I'm not really a fan of that. Overall a solid cup, but not a coffee I crave.
1/17/2017
Great coffee to my taste. Low acidic, balanced , very smooth yet rich and enjoyable that left me wanting to drink more.
1/16/2017
Not as bold as some of our favorites.
1/16/2017
I really like this coffee, but I think something a little more bold would be better. I've tried varied amounts of water as well. This one was really good though.
1/15/2017
very balanced flavor and subtle. good body, and richness, the only thing lacking was what i would call a uniqueness. when i drank it, my reaction was, this is a very good cup of coffee, but nothing in the flavor profile really stood out. it's on the medium to mild side of the flavor spectrum.
1/13/2017
Good so far in lattes and cortados. Flavors aren't in your face but subtle and flavorful. A very drinkable and easy everyday bean to have.
1/12/2017
I really like this, so good to the last drop... even cold. It seemed liked a good blend between light and heavy. It's been my first brewing in my new V60 and aeropress, and grinding with burr grinder...so I'm hoping to hone in my technique as well.
1/11/2017
Was weak. It was ok but not a favorite.
1/8/2017
I really enjoyed this coffee. I give it 4 1/2 stars. If there was anything I could change about it I would say it would be better without the slight citrus sour taste at the end. I did enjoy trying it however.
1/7/2017
Liked this very much! Smooth, balanced, not acidic. Good caramel and chocolate flavors!
1/2/2017
My first impression with this coffee is also my first try with a hario v60. The coffee was smooth and flavorful. I enjoyed the variety of flavors. Initially, I was concerned because I don't like coconut, but this coffee is good. All together, this was one of the better cups of coffee I have had.
1/1/2017
We love the roast, and the chocolate-y notes are delish! It's also bright without being too acidic, and has a little sweet/fruity something that makes it easy to sip on even after it's sat a little while.
1/1/2017
Outstanding !
12/31/2016
Brewed with a French press it has a creamy mouth feel with a nice chocolate flavor. My palate didn't pickup the citrus notes but they're probably there. Brewing as pour-over, the creamy mouth feel is there but as expected, it's not as pronounced as with the French press but still retains the chocolate flavor.
12/27/2016
Very well balanced cup with great body!
12/15/2016
Tastes like a crisp fall evening. The color of the sky just before it goes completely dark. Smells like the loam of fallen leaves before they return to the earth. A real earthy full body taste with a surprise sweet ending. It lingers on your tongue as the stars rise.
12/6/2016
I liked the previous blend better. Darker
12/3/2016
Sorry, I'm not sure how to describe flavors in coffee yet, but I do know I like balanced ones with chocolate/caramel/sweet notes, which this one is.
12/1/2016
Average just ok
11/23/2016
Personally, I find the citrus to be too pronounced for me. It's like drinking a caffeinated grapefruit.
11/21/2016
This coffee was more enjoyable as it cooled, as the citrus notes were able to come out more. The chocolate was a little overpowering for me.
11/20/2016
It's really bland, even though I tend to brew coffee with a higher coffee to water ratio than is recommended. I prefer coffees that have a bold, heavy coffee flavor; this one is anything but bold. I think the "sweet flavors" in the description are diluting the coffee for me. Although I don't find it overly sweet, I think those citrus notes are tame (which is good because I don't like fruit notes in coffee) but I'm not really getting a strong coffee flavor either.
11/14/2016
I like this blend it's good. It has a great overall mouth feel with very low acitidy and no astringency. Super easy to drink and very well balanced. I get hints of the chocolate notes on the back end as well as in the aroma. I also smell something nutty, like walnuts. Overall it's good, but I'm not crazy about the muted quality of the flavors. This is a coffee I would feel confident giving to anyone cause it's so easy to drink. Also I might try brewing this in my Kyoto.
11/12/2016
Very pleased with this house blend. Balanced and well rounded.
11/11/2016
Very weak
11/9/2016
Nicely balanced when brewed pour over. Not especially interesting but solid.
11/8/2016
Verve is all I drank in college. It's one of my favorite coffees
11/7/2016
I liked it but it was a little too citrusy. I would prefer something a little richer. thank you!
10/31/2016
This was really good stuff. Balanced cup with a nice deep body for a medium roast.
10/24/2016
taste is ordinary, nothing special enough to spend money on this one
10/24/2016
full bodied and balanced
10/24/2016
Very solid blend! Nice notes of chocolate, with a noticeable hit of citrus as well. I think this one may have been a little more on the citrus side for my preference, but I could appreciate the complexity.
10/21/2016
Smooth, easy to drink, mild flavor
10/19/2016
Very good coffee, but even after a bit of fine tuning, I still found the citrus flavor to be too strong. Best results were on the AeroPress
10/16/2016
Did not like the aftertaste on this coffee at all.
10/12/2016
I liked the chocolate flavor but not the citrus notes in this blend.
10/4/2016
A good cup of joe. Wasn't as balanced as the description claimed, it was a little stronger on the citrus. The roast was a little light, but didn't detract from the overall taste.
9/29/2016
I really liked this brew. The first thing I noticed was the smell! I could have just sat and smelled it. The taste was good, I enjoyed the blend and got the citrus notes in it as well as some of the chocolate. The citrus flavor was a favorite.
9/27/2016
Well rounded and not too dark. It was a touch bitter for my taste but, not horribly so.
9/26/2016
Unfortunately, I wasn't a big fan of this coffee. I was initially excited to get a new blend rather than a French Roast, but this one had a strange, bitter, lime flavor to it that I just couldn't get over. The sour taste was kind of overwhelming and didn't allow me to enjoy the other notes of the coffee.
9/16/2016
Good, but not remarkable coffee
9/14/2016
By far, the best coffee I have received from Mistobox.
9/14/2016
Getting a chocolate and nuttiness flavored. Not blown away but solid coffee.
9/9/2016
The beans leave a very nice smell that hangs within the kitchen while you brew. I've never been one to drink coffee black but the taste is refined enough to not need anything added.It's a clean light blend where the light bite of citrus really adds a fine touch to the coffee.If you're looking for a heavy full bodied coffee, I would look elsewhere, but if you want something to enjoy slowly and unwind with, this is perfect.
9/2/2016
Love the boldness, very smooth. Uncharacteristically light acidity for a coffee that's a citrus flavored. The chocolate notes defiantly come through.
8/28/2016
Very good.....can be a little too strong for my taste (I drink it black) when I use the normal amount of coffee, but it's great when I use just a touch less!
8/28/2016
Can definitely taste the chocolate notes. Very rich and smooth.
8/26/2016
I just loved drinking this coffee. As a cold brew, it was literally the most delicious thing I ever drank. As a hot coffee, mixed with a little cream, it's so smooth and charming. Love it.
8/24/2016
Delicious! This coffee has perfect crema, amazing flavor, and perfect strength. Definitely want more of this one!
8/22/2016
Lacked in flavor notes and all around kind of a flat taste.
8/19/2016
Smooth taste with a chocolate/smokey flavor to it, but can get quite acidic and almost dry if you don't drink it fast enough. Great cup of coffee to have in the afternoon. Best mixed with heavy whipping cream which brings out a nice nutty taste to it and dulls the acidity that builds up over time.
8/1/2016
I have enjoyed every drop
7/3/2016
Loved it. Smooth, sweet and damn it smelled amazing. Put in a teaspoon of sugar and milk and it was very soothing to drink.
6/28/2016
I like this coffee, but don't love it. The citrus notes are pronounced and not my favorite, but it's still very drinkable.
6/27/2016
One of the best coffees I've gotten so far.
6/27/2016
Very smooth,creamy and great aroma. For first try, delicious, but we are early morning get out the door types and need a bit more robust kick in the shorts. I am totally looking forward to weekend mornings sipping on this blend enjoying my garden. This is fun. Everyone should have a private roaster consultant,
6/23/2016
Citrus notes are great. Enjoyed!
6/20/2016
A very smooth and creamy blend with a broad flavor profile. I found a new flavor each time I had it.
5/26/2016
Citrus-y without being overly acidic. Strong chocolate notes as well. Better by itself than with milk. I actually found the citrus notes to clash with the milk. Good blend overall!
5/25/2016
I like it! I wish it had more of a hazelnut flavor in it though.
5/17/2016
This is a subtle and calming coffee. If you're in a hurry in the morning, you'll miss most of the interesting flavors in this one. If you have a moment to savor something that requires concentration and effort, then this one has some distinct rewards.
5/14/2016
This coffee had the best aroma while it was being ground. Made the entire house smell wonderful. As to taste, we thought it had a strong aftertaste. Coffee was ok.
5/7/2016
Easy drinking cup. Enjoyed with a chemex and french press. Dark but not to smokey. Had some chocolate and pleasant toasty flavors.
4/27/2016
Like this one a lot too - only slightly edged out by the Brazil Blue Diamond - La Colombe. Nicely balanced and full.
4/27/2016
Good flavor, the tropical/citrus notes were there backed by chocolate, but it was a little weak overall for my palate.
4/20/2016
This coffe is good and we are enjoying it but I find it a little milder and not as robust as we prefer.
4/19/2016
Some very good flavor notes (good chocolatey flavor), but could be a bit stronger flavor.
4/16/2016
Great with some milk and sugar
4/15/2016
Truly a pretty great cup of coffee. My no means does a 3 star mean it is bad. It is exactly as it says it is. Bold notes of chocolate and slightly acidic but not enough to make you turn it down.
4/13/2016
Acidic
3/28/2016
Solid blend. Nothing too out of the ordinary. Perfect for that daily cup.
3/27/2016
Not for me. Very forward-acidic. Stays at the front of your mouth and has a lingering tart aftertaste. Very citrusy. Not much depth. Does not feel satisfying.
3/8/2016
This was really pretty good! It smelled a little better than it tasted but it was definitely a good pick!
2/29/2016
A very balanced cup, and true to the label on the package, it's very smooth, creamy, and has a nice hit of chocolate. Not really getting any citrus notes, though. Seems like a solid base coffee to go to. Taken with cream and sugar, but works very well black.
2/29/2016
A bit lighter than I normally like, but my SO loved it, so it will be happily drunk in the morning.
2/28/2016
yum. nice cocoa
2/26/2016
smooth; very drinkable--I drink my two cup allotment quickly and want a third but have to stop myself.
2/21/2016
It was really good but it didn't 'wow' me.
2/11/2016
Did not get a lot of flavor from this blend. Looking for something a bit more medium and with a nutty flavor.
2/10/2016
Chocolatey notes-- yeah! Good times had courtesy of this coffee. I give it a smiley emoticon with a tie on rating!
2/9/2016
Gross. Weak. Felt like I had to use double the beans to achieve a flavorful cup of coffee.
2/3/2016
I would alike something more medium blend. Is it possible to receive ground coffee?
2/2/2016
Nice, mellow coffee flavor. One of my favorites.
1/17/2016
Vary well rounded coffee, Nicely balanced. Very much enjoyed!!!
12/21/2015
This blend was awesome! It is now one of my favorite blends.

It's really good! I really don't know what a 'perfect' coffee for me is yet, so I'll go 4 stars on this one for now. Overall, we really enjoy this one.

I really like this blend. It is strong yet smooth and the bold chocolate notes come through perfectly.

When I opened the bag, this coffee passed the sniff test with flying colors. It smells SO good. This is my first time grinding my own coffee, so it might be my fault in grinding it too finely, and I probably used too much, but it almost tasted a little burnt. Next cup I brewed I used a little less and it improved the flavor. Next grind I'm going to do it a little coarser, but not bad for the first bag! I'll happily finish this one off in no time.

It was more sour than I would have liked I think.

Well balanced cup with a great taste of chocolate and a hint of citrus, recommend this cup

Not bad, on the lighter side of a med roast but enjoyable

Fits the description well. Creamy, minimum acidity, very rich and comforting.

Smooth, flavor is somewhat bold yet light. Definitely creamy with a citrusy end. Nice surprise, nice coffee.

Just not a fan of Verve. :(. Or maybe it is the house blend.

Good taste, but I prefer darker/bolder coffee than this

Very smooth and light. Slightly fruity but with just enough body.
