Maggie
perfection. smooth. one of my favorites. and I live in Tucson. Yay!
6/14/2025

Jaron
I would have done 4.5 stars if that was an option. This is a very solid coffee. The roast is on point and it is as smooth as it gets. The only reason it isn't 5 stars is because I save that for something that has a "wow factor." This felt more like a "safe" option. The kind I could count on to be consistent every morning.
6/5/2025

Isa
Cartel coffees have been our favorite so far, extremely smooth, good flavor and very little tang.
5/24/2025

Joseph
Sharply balanced. My favorite so far.
5/16/2025

Dee Ann
Pretty bland but oj
5/4/2025

James
Bright citrus at beginning, woodsy/peppery at the end, too light bodied
4/16/2025

Michele
Delightful complex. As a new home barista took a while to find the right grind.
4/4/2025

Benjamin
It’s obviously of high quality but I found the taste kind of one-note. Not as interesting as some of the other coffees I’ve been sent. Peanut, chocolate, toffee, etc. Some lemon/pleasant acidity as it cools.
3/29/2025

Marzi
Loved it
3/28/2025

Luke
Deliciously brewed in both pour-over from home and auto-drip at work.
3/28/2025

Jennifer
really enjoyed this coffee, easy drinking morning coffee
3/21/2025

Jennifer
Smooth and nice flavor. Great easy morning coffee
2/14/2025

Stephanie
We loved the berry note but weren't really fans of the chocolate note. It was a unique coffee.
1/24/2025

Leah
don't enjoy the name of this roaster unfortunately, please remove Cartel from our queue in the future, thanks (the coffee was just ok too)
1/6/2025

Ryan
Can really taste fruit. Slightly bitter.
12/24/2024

Samuel
Roast was too light, cups tasted underextracted with pourover method. Aeropress marginally better. One problem was the bag did not seal well.
12/1/2024

Arman
Great coffee, light and fresh.
11/30/2024

Emily
Ok but not strong enough
11/26/2024

Jenny
I think this one has been my least fav. It's the aftertaste that gets me.
11/15/2024

Laetitia
This one felt a bit too bitter for me. As a latte it works but it’s not my vibe.
11/14/2024

Chelsea
liked
11/9/2024

Laura
The complexity is fantastic! Just the right balance of flavor to make one audible "mmmm" with the first perfect sip
10/29/2024

Victor
Nice balance, would buy again.
10/26/2024

Brian
I love this coffee. Best I've received so far. Perfectly balanced, not too bitter or acidic but still very flavorful. Brewed in a Chemex and served black.
10/21/2024

Stephanie
A decent everyday blend, with a slight hint of bitterness (possibly from the Brazilian beans).
9/24/2024

Eric
This is one of the best coffees I’ve received from you. The delicious rich flavors, no bitterness. I would drink this every day!
9/18/2024

Renee
I REALLY like this coffee. The shot is just beautiful (is that a thing?:)) The mouth feel is wonderful. Definitely get the chocolate tones. The tasting notes are spot on.
9/13/2024

Paul
Best one so far.
9/11/2024

Zac
Too light for me, tastes very citrus-heavy almost like juice
8/19/2024

Dan
Not thrilled with this bag. Grind has been extremely inconsistent. One cup watery, next cup like mud with same grind size. Issue is not with grinder. Adjusting every cup. Seems like beans are not from same batch
7/10/2024

Seth
At first I found this coffee bitter and not too pleasant. But after increasing the coarseness of the grind it was quite nice and mild as a pour over. It brewed best for me in the Chemex and the Fellow Stagg. It was decent in the V60 and the Origami. The flavor was almost nonexistent as a cafe latte when brewed with the Breville Barista Express. I wouldn't recommend this for espresso or for mixing with milk. But as a pour over with a course grind, brewed at 200 F, it came out really good.
6/12/2024

Brittany
This was our third or fourth favorite so far with the EQUATOR COFFEES & TEA
Rwanda Nyampinga still in the lead…! Delicious!
6/7/2024

Liam
Been having a hard time with the fruity notes. Not such a great combo with cream and sugar
4/24/2024

Emilie
One of my husband’s favorites!
4/13/2024

Jason
Great coffee - I got lazy and made my cup in my drip coffee maker, and it still came out great. Lots of flavor, bit of sweetness, very smooth. This is a winner!
3/14/2024

Scott
I really liked the chocolatey flavor that didn’t come with much acidity.
12/28/2023

Alexander
Juicy but not acidic. Not too bitter, and quite sweet!
12/15/2023

Billy
Not bad coffee, just not for us.
12/13/2023

Katrina
We loved this one! These medium bodied with notes of fruit and chocolate are what we love for pour overs, interspersed with the darker roasts for espresso.
11/23/2023

Luke
Very very good coffee. Smooth and easy drinking, with just a hint of tart acidity that keeps it lively & interesting. The bag notes the “velvety body,” which is spot on – one of the few coffees I’ve had where I really noticed the mouthfeel. Delicious!
11/9/2023

Kumud
This is excellent. So far excellent.
10/12/2023

Jess
Didn’t like this one, too bitter not much flavor
10/11/2023

Michael
Was really tough to get a consistently good tasting brew.
8/31/2023

Aaron
Meh. Had much better brews on-site.
8/23/2023

Ashli
Very similar to Good Vibes Brazil in both notes and deliciousness. This one is slightly more syrupy and heavy on my tongue as an espresso, which I like even better.
8/14/2023

John
Balanced, favor full medium roast
8/13/2023

Kevin
This one is fruitier than my palette prefers, but I think that many would like it. It is pleasantly velvety, with a rich chocolate flavor. I think I would have loved it, if the fruit component (the lighter roast of the blend) was a lower proportion. I used pour-over to taste this.
8/11/2023

Prima
Good Flavor - great over ice
8/4/2023

Valerie
this coffee is the one I have enjoyed the most so far.
7/13/2023

Jeff
Good flavor. Can taste the berries and chocolate. Roast level is right where I like for the darker range of my preferences.
3/18/2023

Lindsey
The best!
3/6/2023

Jeff
I didn't like the berry-ness
2/14/2023

Ryan
I really liked the berry flavor, but my wife thought it was too strong. I think the chocolaty and velvetiness were positive.
2/12/2023

Jason
Very berry- not for me but got through it - too much of a lighter roast.
2/3/2023

Michael
Tasting notes are pretty true in espresso. Very fruit and berry-forward, slight bitterness, but overall brighter than expected. The body is really fantastic and velvety as described, just a little more acidic than I Typically prefer.
1/21/2023

Adrick
Not a fan of fruity, juicy, berry coffees. Prefer herbal, chocolate, butter, nutty and caramel. This coffee is a good coffee but not my cup of tea, so to speak.
1/21/2023

Jessica
Too strong flavor. It wasn’t as smooth as all the others
11/30/2022

Claire
Too dark a roast
11/27/2022

C. Scott
Nice. Very smooth and not too bitter for my "taster" genetic mouth.
11/21/2022

Daniel
This one like the last was much too fruity. We generally do not like fruity coffees (like from Ethopia and other Africa countries) and this seems to be along those lines.
11/15/2022

Jessica

Never tasted strong enough. Brewed with and without paper filter and nothing changed the meh flavor of it
11/13/2022

Jason & Julie
I love this blend. So smooth and full of flavor. It's beautiful!
11/6/2022

Emily
Excellent as espresso
9/21/2022

Lindsay
Delicious light to medium roast
9/18/2022

Phillip
Excellent coffee especially in the french press.
9/10/2022

Chang
Darker side, stronger fermented taste than expected
7/19/2022

Robin
This one was really nice! Definitely a good breakfast blend :)
7/11/2022

Marlene
Mmmmm
6/17/2022

Christi
Loved it!
3/29/2022

Laura
ah-maz-ing!!! Favorite list, for sure!!!
2/3/2022

Shawn
This coffee had acidic notes that were definitely present but not overpowering. Overall the coffee was clean but the profile was a little odd for my preference. One negative is that I found a rock in my beans, luckily just before I put it in my grinder.
1/26/2022

Jordan
Probably my least favorite so far, I really only taste almost a tootsie roll -esque quality, slightly burned taste in my opinion.
1/18/2022

Norman
Very good starter for the morning. More berries than milk chocolate but not too acidic.
1/1/2022

Kenneth
Super great, exactly the flavor we enjoy. I do get notes of berry, and it drinks very smooth.
12/27/2021

Brandi
Really liked this one.
12/19/2021

Anthony
Smooth and tasty.
12/3/2021

Kevin
Took some time for me to hone the brew but it’s a good coffee. Cherry or berry notes weren’t hard to find.
11/26/2021

Sarah
A nice full bodied coffee. A little dark for my taste but still a very drinkable coffee when made in a cold brew method.
10/30/2021

Kelsey
My favorite thus far. Honestly, it was perfection for my personal tastes
10/30/2021

Claire
Ok but not my favorite
10/4/2021

Nik
Really good, chocolate with a bit of fruit
9/29/2021

Garrett
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.
9/25/2021

David
Delicious, full bodied and smooth
9/21/2021

Maddie
Smooth and well balanced
9/11/2021

Sarah
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
9/7/2021

Dani
Brewed with my grinder/coffee pot Mr. Coffee - so delicious! An easy cup of coffee to enjoy in the morning.
8/17/2021

Anthony
Not very interesting.

Jaden
Bitter

GREGORY
Great, deep chocolate flavor
7/27/2021

Alexa
It just wasn't that great of a coffee. The flavors seemed a little off and bitter.
7/25/2021

Stephen
Great easy drinkable
7/24/2021

Tatiana
Very good coffee
7/21/2021

Brandon
This was a bit too bitter tasting for my liking. It also was a bit on the blander side.
7/17/2021

DEREK
Overly bitter taste
7/15/2021

Shayne
Too acidic for my taste
7/10/2021

Sarah
Too light, don't like it (not sure why this note isn't saving/submitting...)
7/9/2021

Robb
Ok more like diner coffee.
6/22/2021

Mark
Best blend of coffee i've had -- duplicate this and you'll have happy customers!
6/16/2021

Theodore
It was an okay, tasted a bit burnt - perhaps the roasting process over did it
6/14/2021

Kim and Chris
A new favorite! We must get this again!
Perfect for espresso, iced lattes, and affogato.
6/8/2021

Kyle
The was our favorite coffee we've received so far this year.
6/6/2021

Alina
Too acidic
6/6/2021

PC
Not a strong berry sweetness but definitely good clean roast.
6/5/2021

LeAnn
Very good flavor. Would like this again at some point
6/5/2021

Timothy
Outstanding!
5/26/2021

Rosalee
Loved this one! Please send this one again
5/25/2021

Collin
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

Elisa
This was my favorite coffee I think so far. SO SMOOTH and delicious. I will order this again if possible!
5/12/2021

Jean
Weak flavor
5/9/2021

Ben
One of my favorites so far!
5/9/2021

Kandace
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

Matt
Good. Right below Huck and Thesis
5/7/2021

Scott
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

Niraj
Love this! Very chocolatey.
5/5/2021

Jeffrey
This was our least favorite coffee we have received. Overly acidic
4/14/2021

Erin
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

Eric
Very. Smooth. Good.
4/1/2021

Robbie
I wasn't a fan of the bitter flavor and notes.
3/16/2021

Rodney
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.
3/14/2021

Sandy
too bitter
3/2/2021

Justin
solid, nothing memorable
2/10/2021

Cory
Forgot to record notes. Remember it being pretty good.

Brewed in Wilfa Precision coffee maker. 45g beans, medium fine grind, 1L of water.
2/10/2021

Mike
Nice earthy flavor, not too dark, but also not overly bright and complex.
1/25/2021

Roberta
We already loved Cartel coffee and were so happy to see in the rotation! This was so rich and delicious while still being a good breakfast coffee
1/22/2021

Dan
Love this coffee! This has been one of our favorites
