It was too bright and acidic for my taste. I tasted cherries and tomatoes! Still good quality, but I would love a coffee that can handle flavored coffee creamers and flavors better. I felt this could only be sweetened with sugar and plain half and half.

Fine
4/14/2021
Damn good.
4/10/2021
Smooth. Very light. Would like more flavor.
4/5/2021
This coffee wasn’t bad, I just didn’t love the sour cherry that really comes through on the finish. I do love sour cherries, just not in my coffee. I prefer a lighter body coffee because I can drink 3-4 cups in a row. I prefer nutty roasted and chocolate undertones over fruit.
4/5/2021
A bit light for my taste
4/3/2021
Definitely felt familiar and was easy to drink. A great daily coffee.
4/2/2021
Very light brew (I would not count this as rich). A bit of a sour aftertaste.
4/1/2021
Makes a solid cup. Not my fave
3/31/2021
Didn't enjoy flavor on this one. Kind of a harsh taste
3/31/2021
It has a cherry flavor which I like. Going forward I’d would request fruit forward or floral coffee to try if that's a thing
3/28/2021
3/28/2021
The coffee was so smooth and perfect for my taste
3/27/2021
Produced a nice med body and med bright coffee.
3/23/2021
Delicious!!!
3/21/2021
Mild and smooth. A bit fruity too. Not what I am used to, but that's because I am trying to give up on the Kurig! At times a bit sour, maybe that was the cherry!? I threw away my 8 O'clock beans after drinking this for a week. I liked it.
3/19/2021
This makes a totally fine cup of coffee, but it's not particularly special and it's probably a touch more acidic than I'd like.
3/19/2021
This coffee had an oddly sour taste and smell to it. Perhaps it was just this package but it was one of the worst coffees I’ve had.
3/18/2021
Didn’t like, bland taste
3/16/2021
Excellent coffee.
3/16/2021
Too sour
3/10/2021
Not as much flavor as we'd like
3/10/2021
Solid day to day coffee
3/4/2021
It was an okay coffee not terrible but not amazing either.
3/3/2021
Very chocolately, good kick to it!
3/3/2021
A good blend with nice cherry notes.
3/3/2021
It had good flavor, but I would prefer something with more bold flavor
2/28/2021
Not a fan of the rich and chocolate tones, prefer fruity and bright.
2/28/2021
Smooth taste! Perfect Saturday cup!
2/27/2021
Very delicious coffee! Perfect roast level. Very balanced flavor.
2/27/2021
The coffee was aromatic, but subtle. Wonderful light taste of cherry with earthy undertones.
2/24/2021
Excellent taste.
2/24/2021
Really loved this in a pour over!
2/22/2021
pretty good. for me, it was a hint of cherry at first and then finishes with a subtle chocolate flavor. solid blend.
2/21/2021
We loved this coffee! Send it again!
2/21/2021
This was pretty good. I've been experimenting with a Chemex and had to mess around with amount and grind size, and settled on a pretty good 38oz of beans ground to an almost "sand-like" texture. Once I got to that point, the coffee had zero bitterness and no acidity. Overall a very nice warm cup that really worked well for the mid day. Lots of nuttiness and a little bit of cocoa. This was a good one to start with!
2/20/2021
very good flavors. smooth and balanced
2/20/2021
Delicious but a bit too mellow - a little bit of milk really drowned it out.
2/17/2021
Reall rich and delicious, low acid, big flavor!
2/16/2021
It may just be personal preference butt he acidic taste of the cherry isn't for me. Overall it's a nice coffee with a balanced flavor and rich undertones. The acidic taste is the only thing I'm not a fan of. I brewed at lower temp with bold setting turned on.
2/15/2021
Was weak & didn’t like the after taste
2/15/2021
mild flavors. like the acidity, but would like a more fragrant and full-bodied coffee!
2/13/2021
It is okay. Quite mild, I appreciate it isn’t bitter. My husband said it is not as good when it cools in his mug as the organic medium-dark roast beans we get from Costco.com. What can we try differently?
2/10/2021
Forgot to record notes. Remember it being pretty good.
Brewed in Wilfa Precision coffee maker. 45g beans, medium fine grind, 1L of water.

Very nice mild coffee ☕
2/9/2021
I thought this might be too light for me but it was delicious.
2/9/2021
I don't love this -- its a little too sweet and chocolatey. I think I would prefer something with more fruity notes, maybe plum.
If I go sweet I generally like a pecan or maybe almond roast.

Loved how fresh it was. Roasted on the first and arrived on the fifth. Excellent commitment to freshness. You keep that stuff up!!
2/8/2021
3.5; smooth but seeking more pronounced coffee flavor
2/7/2021
Not the best blend. Kind of one-note, couldn't taste a lot of the subtelties. Didn't hate it, didn't love it.
2/5/2021
Love how smooth this is!
2/5/2021
Makes for a really nice pour over
2/5/2021
I love it!
2/4/2021
Pretty good, wish it was fruitier.
2/3/2021
Excellent
2/3/2021
very smooth cup of coffee
2/3/2021
This one was great! Loved the medium roast
1/31/2021
Nice blend. Slightly acidic. Good mouth feel
1/31/2021
Very nice flavor profile, but a bit less full-bodied than we would have liked. Nice acidity and oil level.
1/31/2021
a little weaker than I generally like, and it had a weird aftertaste.
1/28/2021
I was surprised at how bright this blend starts out given the description. The chocolate shows up in the middle, but then finish is nonexistent. A very uneven taste from start to finish in my opinion.
1/28/2021
Ok but with a tangy aftertaste. Would not order this again.
1/24/2021
Liked it a lot. Lots of flavor, not too strong, not too bitter and not too burnt tasting. More like this please!
1/23/2021
Smooth and rich! Love the chocolate finish and the way it makes my mouth feel. No bitter aftertaste
1/21/2021
Tasting notes were spot on, and enjoyed the new experience. However, not a fan of the fruit forward cherry notes. I like the milk chocolate on the back end. Prefer more balanced than fruity or acidic profiles for mostly espresso drinking.
1/18/2021
I liked the deeper notes that it has compared to the 8oclock coffee I have been drinking. Thanks!
1/15/2021
The coffee was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. I'm interested in something with more flavor.
1/14/2021
Good but not outstanding. Prefer slightly richer flavors.
1/14/2021
A little bland. I probably prefer a little darker. A bit spicier than I like.
1/13/2021
A bit too bitter for our liking.
1/13/2021
Dark chocolate Cherry.
1/13/2021
A little lightly tasting for our tastes. I did enjoy the under tones of flavors though.
1/13/2021
This was exactly as described. It came off smooth, roasty, and chocolatey. Made a great drip and even espresso.
1/12/2021
This coffee is delicious! Finding it to be more flavorful at slightly lower temperatures, either waiting for it to cool a tad bit after a chemex brew, or straight out of my AeroPress.
1/12/2021
Really nice taste. Very smooth! Perfect choice for me :)
1/12/2021
I don't know much about coffee yet, but this made a great tasting cup of v60 pour over.
1/11/2021
It's a good coffee, but I'm only getting the bittersweet chocolate notes, nothing else.
1/11/2021
While overall, I would rate this one good, there was an aftertaste that felt off (a bit sour) and kept taking me out of the drinking experience. Also, the smell of the beans, both unground and ground, wasn't a typical coffee smell and was unpleasant at times. Again, these aspects didn't ruin my whole experience and I did think the brew was smooth with hints of chocolate. It was a nice rest stop off my usual coffee trail, but I'm not sure I would choose this one again for a long haul coffee.
1/10/2021
Too acidic and fruity for my liking
1/10/2021
I liked this coffee, it was a little on the sweet side, a little on the weak side, but the flavor overall was good.
1/10/2021
Was just ok. Slightly weak tasting. Not a lot of flavor.
1/9/2021
Enjoyed the hint of chocolate.
1/8/2021
I did not care for this coffee. It is very mediocre. I will not buy this again.
1/8/2021
Flavor developed ok from start to finish, but the end seemed to be a bit more drastic than the start. I guess you can say the middle notes did not help the transition of the top notes blend well with the body of the coffee.
1/7/2021
Not really what I expected. Need more a dark French Roast.
1/7/2021
Too acidic and bright.
1/6/2021
Populace was good but I prefer a bit more robust roast. This was a bit on the brighter side of the flavor spectrum.
1/6/2021
I think there was a little too much cherry with this one vs. being a little more chocolatey. Not bad but also not my favorite.
1/5/2021
Nice bright cherry fruit and good balance but on the lighter side. Just a little too bright and thin for our everyday taste. Brewed with clever (hard to dial in) and french press (helped with body).
1/4/2021
We thought it was a bit to mild. Like a richer favor
1/4/2021
We liked it! I think it was a little on the light side.
1/4/2021
We loved the smooth drinkability of this coffee. Was best prepared in our aero press rather than stovetop percolator. Great intro coffee to mistobox.
1/4/2021
Loved this coffee!!
1/2/2021
Had a nice cherry and chocolate aftertaste. I like the after notes to have stronger nutty flavor, like a hazelnut does.
1/2/2021
This was a bit too fruity and sour for our taste.
12/31/2020
exactly what i was looking for
12/31/2020
Delicious! Pretty much spot on with what I like.
12/29/2020
It's so good! Very light and I love the flavors
12/29/2020
Smooth taste
12/29/2020
Enjoyed this house blend roast. Very smooth, no after bitter taste. I’d reorder this blend
12/28/2020
12/27/2020
Liked it
12/27/2020
I like how rich this coffee tastes! I definitely get the dark chocolate notes too.
12/26/2020
Good chocolate notes
12/26/2020
Nice and clean flavor, with a hint of citrus and a bold taste
12/9/2020
I loved the deep, rich flavor of this blend.
12/2/2020
yum
11/30/2020
Good choice for a first MistoBox purchase. We felt comforted by the familiar coffee flavors.
11/25/2020
Overall a good cup of coffee. Nothing really stood out.
11/23/2020
Great profile smooth non bitter
11/20/2020
This coffee was wonderfully fragrant on the first cup with tangy floral notes. It had a lighter flavor than what I prefer and required a courser grind than usual for my pour over. Definitely a higher quality coffee, however, I prefer a bolder taste. Probably better with other forms of brewing coffee.
11/18/2020
Too muddy.
11/14/2020
I like the chocolate and nut flavors. It is smooth and clean. Just a touch more acid than I like, but I am usually a dark roast drinker trying to expand my palate, so that's to be expected.
11/14/2020
It tastes almost sour. This is what I generally get from coffees from Central and South America.
The first coffee that I thought was incredibly delicious was Kenya AA. I used to regularly go to a local coffee shop that brewed different single-origin coffees daily, and I found that the ones that I loved were all from Africa and the Asia-Pacific area: Kenya, Uganda,

11/11/2020
This was a very solid first option. It was bright and complex, but I would say that it was distinctive in any of those flavor profiles mentioned. More like very solid.
11/11/2020
Very smooth. Tasted wonderful, smelled just as good.
11/10/2020
Yummy! Flavorful
11/7/2020
I really enjoyed this coffee. I was a little skeptical when I saw that it was a medium-light roast, but it is very smooth and has great flavor.
11/6/2020
Huge fan
11/3/2020
I really liked this. It was a little rich/bitter at first but overall it’s a really good coffee. I can taste that it’s quality- nothing like Folgers. And smells amazing. Thanks!
11/1/2020
Really great flavor, actually got some fruity (maybe cherry?)-like notes in it also
11/1/2020
Definitely could taste the chocolate! Get more dark than milk chocolate. Very good.
11/1/2020
Great smooth flavor. No acid and taste.
10/29/2020
We enjoyed this coffee a lot! Brewed it in a Chemex and it had a great aroma. Workhorse coffee pot also got a nice flavor out of it. This was our first mistobox coffee as we are re-developing our coffee palates. Great start!
10/27/2020
We are enjoying it a lot
10/26/2020
Was just ok. Did not like the chocolate note
10/25/2020
Not a fan of this coffee. Not a cherry fan either.
10/25/2020
It just good, not much character to it
10/18/2020
Great flavor. Wish it was a little bit stronger coffee.
10/18/2020
Tasted very fruity/sweet and we did not like it. Flavor was too overpowering. Probably will not finish this bag.
10/18/2020
Amazing taste! Our favorite so far!
10/16/2020
A nice, smooth, enjoyable coffee. Really picked up on the milk chocolate notes and found the lighter roast refreshing.
10/16/2020
I liked this coffee, though it had a lingering sharpness to me.
10/14/2020
Rich mellow flavor great breakfast coffee!!!
10/13/2020
Really good every day drinker.
10/13/2020
Was not a great fit for me, very light
10/13/2020
Great flavor, but a little mild side for my usual brewing method (aeropress). I was able to get a little more out of it by changing the grind and using a Kalita Wave.
10/12/2020
Literally threw most of it away. Tasted very odd, not like chocolate at all. Really have never had a coffee like this.
10/12/2020
Would like to try a more full bodied coffee. This one was fruity but not really remarkable otherwise.
10/11/2020
This coffee did not meet our flavor preferences. Too many green flavors. This is our least favorite of all coffees we have received and we did not finish the bag.
10/4/2020
First order nothing to compare with but little too light for my preference.
10/3/2020
Not as rich/deep or chocolatey as I'd expected. A bit more acidic than I prefer. Cherry notes but otherwise I didn't find it particularly distinctive.
10/2/2020
It was a good blend, but I like a stronger taste in the blends. I couldn’t taste the blend that much.
10/2/2020
Bland, burnt, meh.
9/30/2020
Was a good coffee. I did not enjoy my first few cups; however, I began to appreciate the subtle notes of citrus and caramel the more I drank. I would like to experiment with this type of roast more.
9/30/2020
I liked this one a lot!
9/27/2020
Lighter than I am use to but good. 1st mistobox so have nothing else to compare it against so I can only give it 3 stars. Chocolate & nut flavors were present and delicious at the start of each cup, but disappeared into a normal average tasting coffee for the last two thirds.
9/27/2020
Too weak. Not rich enough.
9/23/2020
Too acidic for me.
9/22/2020
Hit all the notes I was looking for, exactly what I want in a morning cup.
9/19/2020
Over all good. the only down side was it was a little light for me.
9/17/2020
This had something of a sour note that I didn't particularly like. There were a ton of papery flakes in the grind. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't get it again.
9/15/2020
I want to preface this review by saying I prefer medium to dark. I was expecting a medium roast, not a medium-light (more on the light side). However, this is still a very tasty coffee. Definitely a little nutty. Not bitter. Slightly sour and "bright". I bet it would be amazing made in a Chemex. I used an automatic drip, which IMHO does not do lighter roasts justice. Back to my previous point, still a tasty coffee. Just not my jam. Shout out to Bay City!
9/15/2020
Good traditional coffee profile, but nothing that makes it super unique.
9/9/2020
A little sour tasting. It got better with a coarser grind
9/8/2020
Pretty good
9/7/2020
Not as rich as I expected. Made with a Hario V60 at a 1:16 ratio. Did taste the rosted nuts.
9/5/2020
Very nice, rich, smooth cup of coffee! Really enjoyed this one.
9/4/2020
I would prefer something fuller bodied.
9/3/2020
Smooth
8/30/2020
Enjoyed the coffee. That said, it seemed a little light would like something a little darker.
8/29/2020
If you like a nice, gentle, chocolately wake-up coffee, this is an excellent choice. A tasty way to ease into the day.
8/26/2020
I am a long time Dunkin Donuts medium roast original blend coffee drinker and I'm just now exploring other coffees. I brew my coffee a little on the strong side. For my taste, this coffee was a bit light. My wife preferred Populace House Blend over my usual strong brew of Dunkin Donuts. Next I'm going to try something described as bold.
7/28/2020
Slightly fruity, smooth finish
6/29/2020
Sadly, was not a fan of this brew. It was quite sweet and I guess I've discovered that the sweet flavor is not one I enjoy. That's the nice thing about this service - trying new coffees and experiencing different flavor profiles.
6/15/2020
Delicious!
6/5/2020
I really liked this one! Its a good rich flavor.
5/15/2020
Smooth but tasted very syrup-y. I prefer the medium to darker blends.
5/11/2020
great full-bodied, rich flavor
5/9/2020
The nose is unimpressive and flat, would prefer something more aromatic. The taste and aftertaste are enjoyable though.
11/16/2019
Lightly roasted very dense beans. Awesome flavor. Full bodied. Delicious as straight espresso. Thank you.
11/14/2019
Smooth and chocolatey. I made a cold brew with it that is great.
9/29/2019
loved it
8/19/2019
I think this coffee is described perfectly. I would drink this coffee again and again. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because there are other coffees that I like more, including a different roast by the same company. However, after this is my second roast from Populace, I’m starting to feel like they might not make any bad coffee. I will continue to look for more and more roasts buy them.
2/19/2019
This is the best coffee I've received via Mistobox in the last year, and would happy to see it again.
12/21/2018
Good
7/15/2018
Really enjoyed this one. Tasting notes were as described, and the coffee was excellent.
6/17/2018
Tasted burnt and smokey, like wood.
4/15/2018
This is most favorite so far!
More like this one would be great
More like this one would be great
3/3/2018
Love it
9/11/2017
Low acidity, mildly sweet, not too rich. Love this blend!
6/16/2017
Just so-so
5/30/2017
Tasted like water no matter how much I tinkered with the grind size and ground to water ratio.
5/29/2017
Nice balance but I prefer the flavors a little more pronounced and strong
5/20/2017
Light, balanced cup. Similar to previous blend. I'd like to try something darker.
5/14/2017
Love these beans! Full of dark chocolately flavor - really enjoyable cup of coffee each morning. Love that the flavor is bold and round without being overly acidic.
5/10/2017
