Took some time for me to hone the brew but it’s a good coffee. Cherry or berry notes weren’t hard to find.

A nice full bodied coffee. A little dark for my taste but still a very drinkable coffee when made in a cold brew method.

My favorite thus far. Honestly, it was perfection for my personal tastes

Ok but not my favorite

Really good, chocolate with a bit of fruit

Absolutely love this coffee. Even with a little bit of half/half I am able to taste all the coffee notes they mention. Certified hit.

Delicious, full bodied and smooth

Smooth and well balanced

The coffee really holds true to the description, the chocolate flavor is incredibly potent and makes for a unique taste that I don't often get in drip coffee. That being said, the flavor is a bit too strong (bitter) for my own taste

Brewed with my grinder/coffee pot Mr. Coffee - so delicious! An easy cup of coffee to enjoy in the morning.

It just wasn't that great of a coffee. The flavors seemed a little off and bitter.
7/25/2021
Great easy drinkable
7/24/2021
Very good coffee
7/21/2021
This was a bit too bitter tasting for my liking. It also was a bit on the blander side.
7/17/2021
Overly bitter taste
7/15/2021
Too acidic for my taste
7/10/2021
Too light, don't like it (not sure why this note isn't saving/submitting...)
7/9/2021
Ok more like diner coffee.
6/22/2021
Best blend of coffee i've had -- duplicate this and you'll have happy customers!
6/16/2021
It was an okay, tasted a bit burnt - perhaps the roasting process over did it
6/14/2021
A new favorite! We must get this again!
Perfect for espresso, iced lattes, and affogato.

Loved this one! Please send this one again

I haven't rated coffee in so long. I should get better. But I made a batch of cold brew out of this and it's fantastic. The fruity notes are so pronounced and it's really a delight to drink.
5/23/2021
This was my favorite coffee I think so far. SO SMOOTH and delicious. I will order this again if possible!
5/12/2021
Weak flavor
5/9/2021
One of my favorites so far!
5/9/2021
A little bland but not bad. It was also a little more of a medium than a light roast in my opinion.
5/8/2021
Good. Right below Huck and Thesis
5/7/2021
Chocolatey and nutty, but not really getting the berry notes mentioned on the bag. A very good, but standard, cup of coffee.
5/7/2021
Love this! Very chocolatey.
5/5/2021
This was our least favorite coffee we have received. Overly acidic
4/14/2021
Just okay. For me, the notes of milk chocolate and berries came through the aroma, but not so much with the taste. Relatively balanced, but seems to be missing a little something and is a little sour. I'm going to try grinding it a little finer to see if I can get rid of some of the sourness and add a bit more umph. Brewed with a French press.
4/4/2021
Very. Smooth. Good.
4/1/2021
I wasn't a fan of the bitter flavor and notes.
3/16/2021
I liked this coffee alot at first. But now I'm starting to think it's a little too sour for me. I can smell the chocolate note on the beans, but I don't taste it much in the coffee.
I'm brewing this in a v60 with the Hoffman method.
