Michael
Ok but with a tangy aftertaste. Would not order this again.
1/24/2021

Tom
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

Dorothy
Smooth and rich! Love the chocolate finish and the way it makes my mouth feel. No bitter aftertaste
1/21/2021

Scott
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

Trevor
I liked the deeper notes that it has compared to the 8oclock coffee I have been drinking. Thanks!
1/15/2021

Heather
The coffee was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. I'm interested in something with more flavor.
1/14/2021

Harvey
Good but not outstanding. Prefer slightly richer flavors.
1/14/2021

Patrick
A little bland. I probably prefer a little darker. A bit spicier than I like.
1/13/2021

Natalie
A bit too bitter for our liking.
1/13/2021

Shannon
Dark chocolate Cherry.
1/13/2021

Felicia
A little lightly tasting for our tastes. I did enjoy the under tones of flavors though.
1/13/2021

Jeremy
This was exactly as described. It came off smooth, roasty, and chocolatey. Made a great drip and even espresso.
1/12/2021

Daniel
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

April
Really nice taste. Very smooth! Perfect choice for me :)
1/12/2021

TK
I don't know much about coffee yet, but this made a great tasting cup of v60 pour over.
1/11/2021

Anthony
It's a good coffee, but I'm only getting the bittersweet chocolate notes, nothing else.
1/11/2021

Kaye
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

Timothy
Too acidic and fruity for my liking
1/10/2021

John
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

Kandace
Was just ok. Slightly weak tasting. Not a lot of flavor.
1/9/2021

Karen
Enjoyed the hint of chocolate.
1/8/2021

Abraham
I did not care for this coffee. It is very mediocre. I will not buy this again.
1/8/2021

Javin
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

Mark
Not really what I expected. Need more a dark French Roast.
1/7/2021

Marcie
Too acidic and bright.
1/6/2021

Scarlet
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

BRIAN
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

JingJing
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

Donna
We thought it was a bit to mild. Like a richer favor
1/4/2021

Anne
We liked it! I think it was a little on the light side.
1/4/2021

Meghan
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

Alicia
Loved this coffee!!
1/2/2021

Shanna
Had a nice cherry and chocolate aftertaste. I like the after notes to have stronger nutty flavor, like a hazelnut does.
1/2/2021

Veronica
This was a bit too fruity and sour for our taste.
12/31/2020

Daniel
exactly what i was looking for
12/31/2020

Kendall
Delicious! Pretty much spot on with what I like.
12/29/2020

Sarthak
It's so good! Very light and I love the flavors
12/29/2020

Ryanne
Smooth taste
12/29/2020

Robert
Enjoyed this house blend roast. Very smooth, no after bitter taste. I’d reorder this blend
12/28/2020

I like how rich this coffee tastes! I definitely get the dark chocolate notes too.
12/26/2020

Carolina
Good chocolate notes
12/26/2020

Josh
Nice and clean flavor, with a hint of citrus and a bold taste
12/9/2020

Haven
I loved the deep, rich flavor of this blend.
12/2/2020

RUTH
yum
11/30/2020

Brian
Good choice for a first MistoBox purchase. We felt comforted by the familiar coffee flavors.
11/25/2020

Scott
Overall a good cup of coffee. Nothing really stood out.
11/23/2020

Jason
Great profile smooth non bitter
11/20/2020

Antonio
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

Ashish
Too muddy.
11/14/2020

Christine
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

Adina
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

Andrew
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

Saundra
Very smooth. Tasted wonderful, smelled just as good.
11/10/2020

Hannah
Yummy! Flavorful
11/7/2020

Carolyn
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

Jamison
Huge fan
11/3/2020

Julia
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

Daniel
Really great flavor, actually got some fruity (maybe cherry?)-like notes in it also
11/1/2020

Elisa
Definitely could taste the chocolate! Get more dark than milk chocolate. Very good.
11/1/2020

Wayne
Great smooth flavor. No acid and taste.
10/29/2020

Bekah
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

Deborah
We are enjoying it a lot
10/26/2020

Groszek
Was just ok. Did not like the chocolate note
10/25/2020

LeAnn
Not a fan of this coffee. Not a cherry fan either.
10/25/2020

KANNAN
It just good, not much character to it
10/18/2020

Daniel
Great flavor. Wish it was a little bit stronger coffee.
10/18/2020

Amy
Tasted very fruity/sweet and we did not like it. Flavor was too overpowering. Probably will not finish this bag.
10/18/2020

Trevr
Amazing taste! Our favorite so far!
10/16/2020

Elliott
A nice, smooth, enjoyable coffee. Really picked up on the milk chocolate notes and found the lighter roast refreshing.
10/16/2020

Gretchen
I liked this coffee, though it had a lingering sharpness to me.
10/14/2020

Steven
Rich mellow flavor great breakfast coffee!!!
10/13/2020

Marshall
Really good every day drinker.
10/13/2020

Adam
Was not a great fit for me, very light
10/13/2020

Ryan
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

Sean
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

Laura
Would like to try a more full bodied coffee. This one was fruity but not really remarkable otherwise.
10/11/2020

Angie
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

Vishal
First order nothing to compare with but little too light for my preference.
10/3/2020

Richard
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

DEANNA
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

Nicklaus
Bland, burnt, meh.
9/30/2020

Daniel
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

Xavier
I liked this one a lot!
9/27/2020

Rawson
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

Lynn
Too weak. Not rich enough.
9/23/2020

Ashley
Too acidic for me.
9/22/2020

Larry
Hit all the notes I was looking for, exactly what I want in a morning cup.
9/19/2020

Michael
Over all good. the only down side was it was a little light for me.
9/17/2020

Amy
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

Rebecca
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

Pierce
Good traditional coffee profile, but nothing that makes it super unique.
9/9/2020

David
A little sour tasting. It got better with a coarser grind
9/8/2020

Sandy
Pretty good
9/7/2020

Tim
Not as rich as I expected. Made with a Hario V60 at a 1:16 ratio. Did taste the rosted nuts.
9/5/2020

John
Very nice, rich, smooth cup of coffee! Really enjoyed this one.
9/4/2020

Ki
I would prefer something fuller bodied.
9/3/2020

Charles
Smooth
8/30/2020

Meghan
Enjoyed the coffee. That said, it seemed a little light would like something a little darker.
8/29/2020

Elena
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

Bill
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

Jonathan
Slightly fruity, smooth finish
6/29/2020

Jordan
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

Beth
Delicious!
6/5/2020

Elizabeth
I really liked this one! Its a good rich flavor.
5/15/2020

Paola
Smooth but tasted very syrup-y. I prefer the medium to darker blends.
5/11/2020

Jim
great full-bodied, rich flavor
5/9/2020

Joel
The nose is unimpressive and flat, would prefer something more aromatic. The taste and aftertaste are enjoyable though.
11/16/2019

Dale
Lightly roasted very dense beans. Awesome flavor. Full bodied. Delicious as straight espresso. Thank you.
11/14/2019

Mike
Smooth and chocolatey. I made a cold brew with it that is great.
9/29/2019

Beth
loved it
8/19/2019

Chris
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

Cheri
This is the best coffee I've received via Mistobox in the last year, and would happy to see it again.
12/21/2018

Robert
Good
7/15/2018

Jason
Really enjoyed this one. Tasting notes were as described, and the coffee was excellent.
6/17/2018

Elyse
Tasted burnt and smokey, like wood.
4/15/2018

Joe
This is most favorite so far!
More like this one would be great
3/3/2018

Marta
Love it
9/11/2017

Eryn
Low acidity, mildly sweet, not too rich. Love this blend!
6/16/2017

Robert
Just so-so
5/30/2017

Corina
Tasted like water no matter how much I tinkered with the grind size and ground to water ratio.
5/29/2017

Melanie
Nice balance but I prefer the flavors a little more pronounced and strong
5/20/2017

Courtney
Light, balanced cup. Similar to previous blend. I'd like to try something darker.
5/14/2017

Erin
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.
