Some of the best coffee I've ever had!
I primarily had brewed this as espresso with a small amount of milk added. That was my favorite! It was smooth and rich.
I also had it as a pour over and while it was still enjoyable, I preferred the espresso over this method. One of my favorite coffees I've ever had, and will definitely order again!

too dark but my fault - did not realize this was an espresso blend.

Solid coffee, nothing extraordinary but a great daily driver.

Loved it

Excellent, rich coffee. The toffee really comes through.
10/3/2022
this was a decent espresso but i hard to work hard to get distinct flavor from it. the toffee and nuttiness sort of blend together without really standing out much.

Perfect blend
8/20/2022
Really dark and thin, extremely an "old school", southern Italian blend and not really in a good way
8/10/2022
Really, really good. Nutty, delicious.

I didn't like the flavor. I like more of a traditional flavor. I think it was a bit too light for me. I tried many different ratios and recipe but couldn't find one that was to my liking.
6/28/2022
A bit too bright but not bad
6/15/2022
Sour. Could not dial it in to taste better.

This is the best coffee bean I’ve ever ground and turned into espresso. Just the right amounts of nutty, bitter, sweet, and and round, glowing aftertaste. Thank you, West End Blues is perfect.

A hair acidic but that's probably on me, but the notes were great
3/19/2022
Definitely not as sweet as some others, but very enjoyable. There's a definite nut flavor, and it's pretty rich. Overall, pretty smooth and enjoyable. Brewing as espresso.
3/12/2022
Really liked this one. Smooth but rich at the same time
2/3/2022
All I c.an say is WOW. This is a very balanced and rich coffee. My fav so far. Nice job Tandem

This was a very mild blend. Not bad, but not something that I wanted to have every morning either. I didn't pick up on the flavor of nuts or chocolate in this.
12/4/2021
not great
10/30/2021
My friend liked it, but it was too acid for my taste.
10/16/2021
The most comforting first sip ever :) Lovely aroma of brown sugar and baking chocolate. Mild acidity, but complex. Citrus sweetness with an underlying chocolate flavor that complements nicely. Very pleasant and sweet aftertaste.

I've had this espresso in Portland and I was so happy to see it in my queue! I loved it
5/24/2021
My favorite one send me more!!

Delicious flavors

I picked this up while in Maine a week ago and found this to be a very poor espresso roast. It does not perform well at all and very bitter.
4/17/2021
I found this coffee to be both bland and overly acidic, no matter how I tweaked the grind, amount, and tamp pressure.
2/21/2021
Extremely light roast. Slightly fruity. Low acidity. Not very flavorful.
2/14/2021
good, but more bitter than i would like
1/22/2021
I'm not big on leaving reviews; I would like to say I enjoyed this blend it was very tasty .
1/6/2021
Even though we prefer more fruity notes, this one is great. It’s a lighter roast, so you can pick out all the flavors, pecan and caramel. Very nice!
12/13/2020
Light and balanced with a nice nutty aroma and flavor.
12/9/2020
Great espresso. Tandem is one of my fave roasters and I've never had them disappoint
11/30/2020
Toffee, nutty just like it says. Great comfort coffee. I did get some hints of berries as well
9/22/2020
My shipment got lost for 2 weeks, so maybe that had something to do with the flavor being disappointing. It seemed pretty flat, kinda bland.
6/25/2020
Love this coffee. Nice balance of fruit and earthy flavors
5/9/2020
Great espresso paired with milk.
4/19/2020
Good espresso base. Nothing extraordinary. Good nutty flavor.
4/7/2020
Solid espresso, but not much unique stood out.
2/28/2020
Solid flavor, rich, but not too heavy
1/16/2020
Very subtle flavor, to the point I didn't think I had any coffee in my mug and all I could taste was the little milk I added.
9/24/2019
Nice rich taste
9/15/2019
Decent cup, nothing remarkable.
6/29/2019
We absolutely loved this one!
6/2/2019
Good flavor, well-balanced. One of my favorites and running out early!
3/10/2019
Best blend I've received so far. Well balanced with no bitterness.
11/23/2018
This is a really good coffee. There is no real reason that I've not given it 5 stars except that there are others I like more. This is a solid coffee, and if it is the only coffee I ever had again, I'd still be very happy.
11/1/2018
rich and balanced
9/30/2018
Not as rich as expected
7/13/2018
Very very good. Super smooth
6/15/2018
Perfect
3/12/2018
Too twangy,,, the fruity acidic flavors really predominate.
2/11/2018
Pretty good - neither life-changing nor marginal. Glad i tried it.
1/31/2018
Not a bad coffee, but had a bit of an aftertaste
1/30/2018
Thin, not very present. I don't want to completely discount this coffee, it was just older than a week when I received it.
1/16/2018
This blend was awesome in that it was reliably full-bodied and interesting in the different tastes that were emphasized based on brewing method.
1/30/2017
This blend is truly complex with a richness in mouthfeel, aromatics, and all-over profile. Its sweet and spice flavors are perfect for the fall season, but it is robust enough to be enjoyed year-round. This is one of the best espresso blends I've tasted across the country.

I enjoyed this better than the Colombia San Antonio. As a reference, I brew espresso 85% of the time using a Breville Infuser espresso machine. The other 15% of the time I use a Kalita Wave pour over. Thanks, Seth!
