Finally a coffee that I like
3/26/2023
Amazing coffee so strong and flavorful
3/25/2023
I wish 3.5 could be an option. I think this blend was super acidic which made it hard to enjoy each morning. It definitely made for an interesting cup and I do enjoy complex coffees but this one just wasn’t quite it. I think I’d like this more during the summer as an iced coffee choice (which I love making cold brew during the hotter months!).
3/17/2023
Nice balanced flavor, was fruitier than I usually pick but I really enjoyed it!
3/11/2023
Way too much fines in the bag. I don't want this type anymore. Taste is okay but more chocolate + bitter than fruity.
3/5/2023
Loved it! Bold yet smooth.
3/4/2023
Too dark roasted for my preference, fruity designation is a stretch also.
2/18/2023
A touch too dark but overall good
2/18/2023
Too bitter
2/17/2023
This was a very mild coffee, not a bad flavor just not a robust coffee. I tried using more coffee beans to acquire a stronger coffee flavor but only made the coffee bitter tasting.
2/13/2023
Deep and complex. I enjoyed the underlying flavors of dark chocolate. Tasted a bit like dark chocolate dipped mandarins, balanced with a slightly oily mouthfeel.
2/13/2023
Just the right amount of fruit/acidity to add flavor without being overpowering.
2/13/2023
It took a while to dial this coffee in while brewing with aeropress. At first, I thought it was a bit darker and bitter for my taste but eventually I made adjustments and got the right flavors out. Nice and strong and flavorful. Pretty good.
2/11/2023
I little on the dark side for me but not bad. I would probably not order this one again mostly because I prefer lighter roasts.
2/11/2023
Too dark/bitter for my tastes
2/11/2023
I didn't love this one. pls do not resend.
1/31/2023
This coffee is bold and wonderful
1/31/2023
Was a little muddy and did not have much discernible flavor, may try as cold brew.
1/28/2023
a little bitter
1/21/2023
Good, but had a bit of bitterness in the finish
1/20/2023
I love this! Delicious!
1/16/2023
smooth chocolate flavor, just a little boring
1/11/2023
Although recommended for iced coffee, I did not like it cold. Even though it wasn't a darker roast, it seemed to have a lot of characteristics of one. Seems smoky and overly bitter to me.
1/10/2023
Not our favorite.
1/6/2023
Mild and fruity, isn’t too stubborn re: temp of water
12/26/2022
A little dark but made good americanos and and letters. By a shipping mistake I got espresso grind as well as whole bean. Their espresso grind is a bit more suited to an aero press and too fast for a non-pressurized basket.
9/29/2022
Nice and rich
9/12/2022
Didn’t really like this one either!
9/7/2022
Liked the fruity and complex flavors
8/19/2022
Tried for cold brew, but didn't have much flavor. I think I just like more full-bodied
8/15/2022
Very low acidity, very chocolatey (too much chocolate flavor for me actually)
8/6/2022
Phenomenal cup of coffee. Brewed on the Chemex, touch of cream and honey, the wife and I were in heaven.
7/29/2022
I really like this one. It was very smooth and didn’t have the citrus “twang” that the first coffee had.
6/6/2022
This blend was little bit too underwhelming for my taste. As someone who loves medium roast coffee, I felt that the cherry cola notes were a little too much for my liking. It’s a good coffee to have if you’re having an okay day. Overall, not my favorite coffee blend so far.
6/1/2022
Not enough body -- best luck with the V60 paper filter -- too fine for press
5/21/2022
Nothing special, a little too fruity for me.
5/19/2022
Maybe my brewing method is off but this just tastes dark and flat. Get a little bit of dark chocolate here and there but not picking up any cherry.
Brewed in the Ratio 8 coffee maker. 55g beans, medium grind (24/40 - Baratza Encore). 1.2L of water.

5/14/2022
I love this one - despite having chocolate notes that I would usually expect with heavy body this bled was refreshing, complex and something to remember
5/8/2022
The hints of cherry cola overpower the rest of the notes. I think I'd prefer something more nutty, but still with chocolate.
5/8/2022
Very yummy, nice and balanced
4/29/2022
It was ok for a dark roast
4/28/2022
I think that the citrus notes were very strong and kind of overpowering when drinking it black. Tried with creamer as well- noticed a significant difference and it seemed to be overpowered by that? Good but definitely liked our other coffee more!
4/9/2022
Not my favorite. Didn’t seem to fit the profile.
4/6/2022
I loved this one! So delicious as a cold brew, with just a splash of milk.
3/7/2022
SO delicious!!!! We love this coffee ♡♡
2/3/2022
Did not enjoy as much
4/7/2021
No one flavor really stands out. Just doesn't excite me. Maybe because it's a blend
11/29/2020
The blend has a very mellow flavor and aroma that has a stronger chocolate presence than a fruity one. It's neutral enough to be able to combine with various flavors, but I am more interested in a blend with a stronger, preferably fruity, flavor.
9/15/2020
It was a tad bitter to the taste when I brewed it, but it also wasn't necessarily offensive. Just not as strong as the last one in flavor and uniqueness. It is okay but I definitely need more creamer to balance out the bitterness.
7/8/2020
loved this blend
4/22/2020
A well-roasted blend with a distinct note of melon or grapefruit. Personally, I found this fruitiness too forward and masking of the deeper, earthier notes that would occasionally peak through.
3/27/2020
A burnt cigarette bitterness overpowered anything I might have otherwise liked about this coffee. I tried pour over, AeroPress cortado, AeroPress latte, and French press. The French press was the best but still not great.
3/1/2020
Not really enjoying this one. Doesn't really have much flavor. Lacks richness.
1/28/2020
Pretty bland, didn't really stand out. Brewed with Chemex and with V60 and felt the same. Never really got the berry finish.
12/5/2019
Not in our taste palette. Way too bitter.
11/29/2019
Tastes so burnt
11/12/2019
I used this for making homemade cold brew and it consistently tasted acidic, way too strong, and burnt. Maybe it just wasn't the right blend for that method but I was disappointed!
10/20/2019
Good all around coffee… Does not have Acidity taste. That’s good! I prefer a little bolder flavor though.
7/8/2019
Boring and kinda bitter
5/19/2019
Not my favorite
4/30/2019
Smooth and delicious!
1/9/2019
Like raspberry cheesecake in a cup of coffee! This was excellent and flavorful
11/7/2018
A little bitter. I like lighter more fruity coffees
10/28/2018
I like chocolate and fruity flavor but the balance or light blend is preferred.
9/16/2018
Very tasty - have brewed with French press but have not yet tried the Moka Pot. It seems like it will be good for that, as well!
8/9/2018
I don't think it was my favorite. I didn't hate it, but I think it didn't like the finish the most. I think this one seemed a bit harsh.
8/9/2018
Two words, SO GOOD! Like being on vacation.
8/7/2018
I'd probably give this a 3.5 if possible. It tastes pretty good, although I question how freshly roasted the beans were. I wasn't able to find a roast date on the bag (just what appeared to be a "best by" date), and there is a noticeable lack of a bloom when I make pour-overs (even with my first cup the day after the bag was received). I could just be imagining it though. I do enjoy the flavor, but it just didn't wow me.
7/17/2018
Nice and bright. Definitely prefer the lighter roasts. Fruity but lacked a little body. Not bad
6/22/2018
lacking in sweetness, a little bit of a dark roast. Would be good with cream - not my favorite
6/16/2018
Could definitely taste the fruit flavors in this bag. I don't typically go for that flavor, but this was good.
6/14/2018
Don’t like. Flat flavors.
6/5/2018
Really enjoyed this coffee - I liked the fruitiness! thank you!
5/21/2018
Pretty middle of the road. Not bad, but nothing to rave about. A nice balanced cup, but got kind of boring and bland after the first few cups.
5/21/2018
tons of chocolate with a juicy berry finish. the fruit flavor is very nicely complementary, not overwhelming.
5/21/2018
average
5/6/2018
Not my favorite. Not as good as the others I have received.
5/4/2018
Better. Still was a little underwhelming
4/29/2018
Stale taste, oily texture, sour flavor.
4/27/2018
Really solid. Would prefer a little sweeter/ acidic but was very drinkable and had really nice flavor
4/23/2018
Roast was darker than I now know I prefer and tended to overwhelm the flavor of the coffee, which wasn't spectacular.
4/5/2018
I appreciated the sweetness of this one with the smooth finish.
3/20/2018
I liked this! It wasn't as robust/flavorful as Intelligentsia's but it was a good, solid well-rounded coffee.
3/18/2018
Definitely leans heavy to the medium side for a medium-light roast.
3/17/2018
Good cup of coffee, but flavors didn’t pop that much to me.
3/16/2018
This coffee is very one dimensional. Too much dark-chocolate flavor for my taste preference.
2/24/2018
It was good but kinda boring. Not as exciting as I'd like.
2/16/2018
I was underwhelmed at first and felt that the flavor was thin but a few days in I’m really enjoying this coffee. Somehow it now has a nice Cadbury egg type creamy center thing going that I find myself craving throughout the day.
2/16/2018
Very good choice again. Maybe a little too fruity for my taste, but overall still a great coffee.
2/15/2018
I'm personally not the biggest fan of chocolate notes, but this strikes a nice balance with the subtle berry flavor coming through. And I thoroughly appreciate being able to distinctly taste all the different notes in this coffee. A very smooth tasting blend.
2/13/2018
Darker than I normally like
I don't know when it was roasted but it's bloom was pretty minimal.
Nothing bad but nothing that really made me look forward to kit either.

2/2/2018
We generally like lighter, but more complex flavors. We could actually taste the fruitiness in the coffee
1/26/2018
The aroma while brewing was rich and nutty. We loved this blend.
1/25/2018
Delicious! Enjoyed the complexity of the blend. Also had a great creamy texture.
1/11/2018
Definitley a sippable coffee. Great for the cold days of the season.
12/14/2017
The notes up front were good but the back end notes kind of fell flat. It did not feel particularly complex. Though, the caffeine was strong, you can feel it almost immediately. The flavor was very middle note, not a lot of berry or acidity and not a lot of bitter or earthy tones.
12/6/2017
Crowd pleaser over the holiday weekend but perhaps a bit too mellow in flavor for me. I'd love to try something slightly lighter in roast, either single-origin, or blend that has some brighter fruit notes.
11/30/2017
Hard to brew well, requires a bit more water to bring out more complex notes, which get smothered otherwise.
Definitely got nuts and fruit from it.

11/28/2017
Thought that it was a little too chocolaty.
11/22/2017
While the roast was a little on the dark side for me, the chocolate/nuttiness came through. The cup was mostly balanced in flavor, with a slight toasty finish. Not getting the berry notes I hoped for, nor major levels of complexity. But overall, a good cup.
11/17/2017
I enjoy this coffee. Well balanced. Minimal bitterness and a very mild body. I use an aeropress. Overall, not a stunningly good coffee, but a very drinkable one.
11/17/2017
I like it, the taste is nice and mello and it's nice to drink.
11/14/2017
Not much flavor
11/12/2017
Really balanced and a sure great cup!
11/9/2017
This coffee taste ok. It doesn’t taste bad. In fact, if I walked into a diner and was poured this coffee I would be pleased. Unfortunately, this is not what I was looking for. If your looking for the fruitier, sweeter type of roast than this is not for you. It tastes to me like a medium roast. I don’t taste any chocolate or fruitiness, I just taste a medium bodied black coffee.
11/8/2017
This is a very mild coffee with subtle flavors. It's light and bright and would make a good dessert coffee. The berry notes are the most dominate flavors. It wasn't amazing, but it was quite good.
11/8/2017
Pretty good! The notes are dead on for this one. Chocolate; truffle like with a dark berry finish! Smooth. Pretty impressed
11/6/2017
It’s a good coffee overall, however the flavor combination was just okay to me - it wasn’t a strong flavor of raspberry but had a darker flavor because of the chocolate. I enjoy sweet coffee, however unsure about fruity per se. I would like to try coconut and I know I enjoy caramel flavors, as well as maple. I enjoy some nutty flavoring too.
11/3/2017
A fine blend that is indeed smooth and balanced, but lacks any stand out character or strong notes. Wonderful for sipping when you don't want to think about your coffee. Pairs well with a variety of food.
11/2/2017
Balanced, as you expect with a blend, and certainly not bad, just not my preference. Didn't get much of the dark berry. More dark chocolate and traditional tasting than anything...
11/2/2017
I generally enjoy coffees with a medium light flavor, but there is something seriously wrong with the flavor of this coffee. I don't know what it is, but something does not taste right with this coffee, and it has nothing to do with the brew method.
11/1/2017
I didnt really like the fruity-ness flavor that much.
10/30/2017
Good flavor & finish. Definitely a good mid-range roast flavor characteristic.
10/24/2017
If I could give a half star, I'd say this is 3.5. It didn't quite make it to a 4 due to personal tastes. When shipped the coffee was very fresh as noted by the bloom when using my Chemex. For a medium roast (I traditionally prefer light roast) the taste was good. It was a little heavy on the chocolate notes, and not as heavy on the fruit/berry finish. While the description says a 'truffle-like finish' I would almost disagree and say it had a taste closer to dark chocolate finish instead.
10/23/2017
Loved this blend. Great in French press.
10/7/2017
Got to tasting and reviewing this one quite late but nothing was open so it still tastes quite fresh. Initial impression was quite pleasing. I'm not very good at coffee tasting — I usually just like what I like — but having a description in front of me I have to say I 100% agree with it. Words I might normally use would be light, pleasant, sweet, silky smooth, no lingering aftertaste, refreshing, a good coffee and book on a Sunday casual sipping
10/3/2017
I wasn't sure what to exactly expect with this blend, but I'm thoroughly impressed. The fruitiness of the coffee was a pleasant surprise, especially with such a clean finish and flavor. The blend doesn't tend to linger in the mouth and goes down smoothly, which is refreshing. A great coffee to kick off the day, for sure.
9/27/2017
I'd give it 5 stars but the best may yet to come. Very enjoyable coffee!
9/26/2017
A bit too dark and toasty, some burnt notes
9/20/2017
this coffee is great right before bed or for infants. I would probably give this to anyone that likes to drink tea, maybe this will show them the light of our savior Coffee. otherwise its very light and fruity. for navy coffee just double brew and you have acceptable motor oil.

My subscription is for "light" & this coffee is labeled "medium" right on the bag; no big surprise that I'm not a huge fan.
9/15/2017
Found myself thinking - damn that's delicious - on multiple cups. The stock description really says it all.
9/14/2017
The medium roast was a little too strong of a flavor for me, but other than that this coffee was ok.
9/10/2017
Good cup for enjoying anytime of the day. Mild coffee flavor yet complex in structure. I did not quite get the fruits flavors as described, but this was certainly a well-balanced cup of coffee.
9/7/2017
This coffee tasted bland to me. I do not like chocolate undertones in coffee.
9/4/2017
It wasn't bad but it wasn't anything super memorable either. It was just okay.
9/2/2017
It's fitting that our first Mistobox delivery comes from Kansas City's Parisi Artisan Coffee. My wife and I just moved away from Kansas City over the summer and frequently miss the tastes of "home." Parisi had been a go-to shop for us in the beginning of our 4 years in KC.
This Bravissimo Blend takes the fruity qualities of washed African beans and mixes them with the subtle complexity of traditional central american flavors. While it's not the most modern flavor profile, is an honest and trusty blend.

9/1/2017
Loved this choclatey, rich blend - a little bit heavier on the medium side for those who enjoy a lighter medium roast.
8/23/2017
I didn't like this coffee, it was too fruity and herbal for my taste. It almost has a tea-like taste to it. Glad I could try it, but it's just not for me. On a Side note, It does make a very good tasting Iced Coffee!!
8/19/2017
Love the fruity notes to this blend. Its a great fusion of chocolate notes and fruit that is both bright and complex. Excellent choice.
8/18/2017
The coffee taste was not good at all. I would say that it is poor roasting company in my opinion. It taste burnt almost. a little too dark for me
8/17/2017
Great flavor all around.
8/15/2017
I found it to be a little boring flavor-wise.
8/14/2017
A bit bland.
8/13/2017
My favorite so far despite having chocolate notes.
8/8/2017
Used an aeropress, good taste, not a full body.
8/8/2017
Smooth with some bright fruit. Mild stale notes in the aftertaste.
8/8/2017
didn't like it.
8/7/2017
Brewed this in a Kalita wave. It was good. I was getting more chocolate notes then fruity. As the coffee cooled the profile didn't change much as well. It's a consistent blend.
8/6/2017
Enjoyed this coffee, looking forward to trying some nuttier flavors rather than fruity.
8/6/2017
Really smooth and silky
8/5/2017
Didn't really taste any of those flavors. Kinda just tasted a bit bland/bitter.
8/1/2017
We didn't mind drinking this coffee but it seems a little bland, nothing really stands out too much about it. Wouldn't buy it again.
7/30/2017
very light flavor. Almost weak.
7/29/2017
It's ok
7/28/2017
Just started the bag and tastes great, using for cold brew. Not bitter, well balanced.
7/27/2017
Very tasty
7/27/2017
It's OK, full flavor
7/25/2017
I liked it, but think I would like something bolder.
7/25/2017
This blend was pretty good. Roast could be perhaps a bit darker? Somehow this coffee wasn't as rich and full bodied as I like. A little hint of tart or bitter that distracted from the overall flavor. But enjoyable. Probably wouldn't buy it over some others I've had. Perhaps it's the fruitiness - a. It like tart cherry - that I don't necessarily care for.
7/23/2017
I really like this coffee!! The first time I made it it tasted a little bitter but I readjusted my coffee/water ratio the second time and loved it. Very smooth with a little sweetness.
7/18/2017
Not normally a fan of blends but this was a great coffee - very drinkable, smooth, creamy mouth feel with chocolate notes.
7/16/2017
I like this blend a lot. It has been my favorite, so far. Love the subtle chocolate notes.
7/15/2017
Perfect
7/10/2017
Love it! Very easy cup to drink, get a lot of sweetness through my chemex.
7/10/2017
This was pretty good. Really smooth and light.
7/10/2017
Did not enjoy the mouthfeel of the coffee. Tasted like swelling butter towards the end. Not a particularly clean finish.
7/9/2017
This one is fine. Maybe a little better than the coffee from metric, but pretty unobjectionable.
7/9/2017
We enjoyed the over all bean, some of the chocolate flavors were more bitter than i expected.Good start
7/5/2017
I found it to be pretty bitter and lacking depth/complexity in the flavor. It's okay and drinkable, but I'd never get it again.
7/4/2017
Really good cup.
7/4/2017
Enjoyed this blend. Needed to increase the amount of coffee I normally use in order to get the full flavor.
7/4/2017
Great smooth blend. Perfect for our taste buds!
7/3/2017
Did not have much flavor to the blend. Very mild coffee.
7/3/2017
Very smooth cup of coffee. I grinded the beans using a hand grinder and then prepared my cup using a single pour-over filter. I can smell and taste the chocolate/truffle flavors and light sweetness. The first cup I may have made slightly too strong which seemed to bring out a tiny bit of what seemed like acidity. I found that 1.75 TBS of grounds per 6 ounces of water was perfect - thus 3.5 TBS for my 12 ounce cup. Thank you for the selection. I'm looking forward to the next round!
7/2/2017
Excellent blend of flavors!
7/2/2017
Absolutely delicious, but not as bold as I usually like. I would definitely buy this again.
7/1/2017
It was lighter than I expected.
6/30/2017
It tasted off - and didn't make a good cold brew
6/30/2017
Seemed light for a medium roast but overall pretty good.
6/30/2017
The coffee was good, but it didn't really knock me off my socks. Perhaps I am difficult, perhaps I didn't brew it optimally.
6/27/2017
It was good but not better than the others. Liked it but wasn’t over the moon ecstatic about it
6/27/2017
A solid coffee. I enjoyed this one a lot.
6/26/2017
The coffee was just a little week. I like my coffee taste a little bolder. I prefer a coffee taste, not fruity.
6/25/2017
Not enough flavor for me, too weak.
6/23/2017
Pretty good, with the chocolate and citrus notes really coming out when made into a cold brew. Pour over it isn't bad, but nothing special besides it being non-acidic.
6/22/2017
good flavor but a little on the light side.
6/20/2017
The whole family enjoyed this one. Nicely balanced.
6/12/2017
I prefer a darker roast but this was still pretty good. My wife and I like dark roasts that have a smoother taste - if that's possible. I did like the earthy tones of this blend.
6/8/2017
Same description as previous coffee. Balanced, good but not amazing.
5/25/2017
Just a little lighter than I prefer, but a very good coffee
5/23/2017
enjoyed the sweetness. still like the first coffee best as I felt it was the richest of the three I've received.
5/14/2017
I wasn't sure how I was going to like this coffee, but I love the berry note with the coco. It had a mild tast and I enjoy that. I'm so use to dark roast with a bold tast. But this was very nice change. Good job
5/9/2017
Too light
5/7/2017
Very sweet and fruity blend that is very versatile, I personally taste berries like acidity with a hint of smoky sweetness and an aftertaste similar to a very good cigar. I am fairly new to blends and mostly go for single origins, but now I have seen the possibilities of yet another spectrum. I have pulled this blend on chemex as well as a mocha pot and plan to send it through the siphon soon.
5/7/2017
it had a nice smoothness to it and i liked the flavors
4/13/2017
Dificult to get the right brew. Usually too acid.
4/6/2017
The flavor on this coffee is tasty, but I keep finding myself adding more beans and making the coffee stronger, but the taste still seems a bit weak. It may be because the last coffee I recieved packed more of a punch! The flavor definitely has a sweet, fruity flavor. I might be missing the chocolate overtones.
4/6/2017
Overall a good cup of coffee. Not overly bitter. Fairly light in color. The fruitiness is okay, but I think i prefer more citrusy flavors.
3/28/2017
I liked this fairly well, though it didn't light my world on fire.
3/22/2017
Good coffee. Smooth and complex with good flavor.
3/11/2017
There was a good balance between chocolate and acidic flavors. I think I still prefer a light roast to the medium roast, but because my wife prefers dark roast, this was a perfect balance. I think I also enjoyed that the coffee was a blend because it was certainly not one note.
3/10/2017
Great balance, lovely flavors - definitely a profile I like. Not sure if it's ideal for french press?. I'm going to try it as a pour over and see how that goes...
UPDATE: I do like it better as a pour over coffee than in the French press

Liked the coffee, It was a bit too fruity for me.
2/20/2017
I liked it for the first two days. It didn't taste like a challenge enough. I'm a risk taker, maybe
It explains why. I dig its design tho!

2/17/2017
Very much to our liking. Coffee had the mix of chocolate and fruity flavor and still tasted like coffee.
2/12/2017
A good first coffee. Maybe slightly darker than I would like. Not too acidic or burnt.
2/10/2017
This ends a bit too sour

This is an extremely mild coffee - not rich at all in flavor or aroma. The flavors seemed muddled and came across bland. I tried a few different brew methods hoping one of them would make the flavors "pop", but no such luck. However, it does produce a smooth, very drinkable cup that at least doesn't taste like crap.
Certainly not bad beans, but not particularly good either. Like a certain type of person we've all met - nice and pleasant, but boring and no personality.

Enjoyed this coffee! Didn't get much of a fruity taste but did get some chocolate hints.

Very fresh tasting and has a pleasant aroma, but I found the flavor boring. I prefer something with a stronger flavor profile.
1/26/2017
Over roasted, Beans are dried out and had a metallic copper flavor-not fruity???-stop making this stuff up. Not that good

Pleasantly surprised by this one. Not a coffee I would have likely chosen myself, just based on the "Bravissimo" name. The description is right on, though, with a chocolate truffle-like smoothness, and a bit of a fruity nose &finish. The berry notes are not my favorite, when too powerful, but here they balance well in this blend.
1/23/2017
Very smooth and yummy!
1/20/2017
The African makes it too "earthy" for me.
1/19/2017
I don't really know coffee that well, but this has a really good balance between chocolate and fruity. Smells very fruity, but has a nice deep taste.
1/17/2017
I really liked this coffee, it was easy to drink, very smooth and started my morning off great! The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I would've liked have had it been a bit stronger.
1/15/2017
Good taste
1/15/2017
This coffee came off flat to me. Maybe the roast date? It was unclear on the bag. It says January then a bunch of numbers following that aren't passed days (ie 18). I did enjoy the chocolate notes though!
1/13/2017
Coffee was too mild. Tasted like flavored water. There was a hint of flavor which was enjoyable. Wish it were stronger. I asked for a darker blend next time hoping it will be better. Are all your mild blends that weak?
1/12/2017
Bit of a tart aftertaste and stronger that i expected. Better than some, not as good as i had hoped.
1/11/2017
This had a great aroma and easy palate, with nice toffee and chocolate flavors. Certainly an easy sip throughout the morning.
1/7/2017
My roommates and I found this blend very aromatic and rich. It was decadent and we look forward to more coffee with quality as high as this one!
1/4/2017
This one was pretty good a little bitter for my taste but overall had good taste notes to it. After drinking through the full bag it has become a new favorite of mine to grab from the shelf!
12/11/2016
Especially enjoyed the berry finish.
11/20/2016
I enjoyed the fruitiness of this!
11/15/2016
Unfortunately, this coffee was a major miss for me. I brewed one French Press pot, didn't finish the first cup, and probably will not return to it at all. The coffee tastes like generic coffee you get at a restaurant that hasn't decided to invest in quality beans. I'm not sure how else to identify what I disliked about it--I guess it just reminds me of diner coffee, without the nostalgia factor. I think there are too many elements in the blend and they just ended up muddled, and muddy. Really disappointed with this one.

This was a pretty good coffee, but overall seemed kind of bland. We brewed this with a chemex, french press, and in a standard drip pot and actually liked the drip coffee the best. So, pretty good, pretty standard coffee, but a little bland.
10/19/2016
Loved the fruity in this!!
10/14/2016
Tastes like dark chocolate, the fruit flavors come out as it cools
10/9/2016
Really great flavor and roast. Chocolate and caramel come through strongly.
10/4/2016
Tastes almost exactly like the description promised. Chocolate, fruit, balanced acidity.
10/3/2016
Loved it!
9/25/2016
I like the blend of chocolate to fruit. This coffee is better balanced than the last one.
9/22/2016
I brewed this with a pour over method, ground with a Hario ceramic hand grinder. Light mouth-feel. Sweet, fruity back-end. Had the most presence on the tip of my tongue.
9/13/2016
Good flavors, but a my boyfriend said it tasted a little acidic in the moka pot
9/12/2016
I liked it! I'm not sure if this sounds "correct" but maybe a little less fruity and more nutty next time? In general I like coffee a little darker, but this was nice too.
9/8/2016
Mostly brewed this in a chemex. Enjoyable once I tried a coarser grind. Too dark for me though, and I typically prefer single origin.
9/6/2016
A little too fruity for our taste, and not quite dark enough! Loved the chocolate notes.
9/6/2016
It had a bit of a strange aftertaste, but overall I enjoyed it.
9/6/2016
Loved the balance! Great berry finish!
8/27/2016
A bit too much "berry" for my taste, but overall the coffee grew on me
7/25/2016
not a huge fan of the fruity!
7/20/2016
This was by far our favorite coffee!
6/30/2016
An excellent cup of coffee!
6/29/2016
Damn good cup of coffee! As soon as I saw the Parisi bag, I knew we would be in for a treat! Very warm on the nose, slight brown sugar and toffee. First taste is slightly smokey with hints of hickory, but so overwhelming it ruins the cup. Not too light, but not too bold, a great all around taste!
6/28/2016
Fantastic! Super smooth, not too nutty, no bitterness. Perfect for morning or after dinner.
6/23/2016
The description of this is spot on, I used my French press on this selection and I couldn't be happier with it!
6/21/2016
Coffee had a well-rounded flavor.
6/20/2016
A little too chocolatey tast for me. I prefer more fruity
5/22/2016
I am sad to say that this coffee was very disappointing. First this coffee has a very light and subtle flavor. It tasted more like hot water with a hint of coffee. Also the description says chocolate truffle like sweetness, I was unable to detect such flavors in my cup. I've had 5 cups of this coffee over the past 3 days just to make sure that it wasn't my brewing process. This coffee did not have me saying Bravissimo.
5/22/2016
Definitely on the lighter side of the roasting scale. Chocolate flavor and thin mouth feel. Beans seemed very 'dry' and when ground somewhat chalky.
5/4/2016
Amazing coffee - Loved it - Thanks!
4/4/2016
Slightly bright, tart flavor. Dark ripe berries and hints of chocolate. Nicely balanced cup.
3/25/2016
probably 2.5 stars... basic and mild, not a fan of the chocolate/berry flavors
3/15/2016
The chocolately sweetness definitely comes out, and so does a berry flavor. I think those who prefer these flavors will really enjoy this coffee. Personally I don't love chocolate flavors in coffee, or the chocolate berry combo of flavors - I tend more towards nutty flavors and caramels. This is a decent blend for sure, and I find I like it better in the morning when it's still a bit cold outside.
3/14/2016
Good basic cup.
3/11/2016
This was our first coffee from Mistobox. With our mindset that we wanted to try different coffees from around the globe, we set up our profile with not really knowing what would show up in our mailbox. This coffee was fresh tasting, but it was just a little too mild for us. We are now updating our taste profile to check out some coffees with a little more boldness.
2/28/2016
The coffee was decent but I really do not care for flavored coffees.
2/25/2016
This is a tasty coffee but not really the type of coffee I am interested in. It is much too sweet and fruity for my taste. I have never been big into flavored or fruity coffees. I prefer a simpler bolder style coffee.
1/3/2016
Balanced, not too light. Great flavor and aromas.
11/18/2015
Exactly my style! I liked the dark, full flavor, and the slight citrus/floral taste. Thank you!
10/1/2015
Well balanced and pleasant. Chocolate flavors seem to over power the fruity flavors a bit.
5/18/2015
The coffee is excellent! I have made a couple of batches so far from a regular brewer. I had to slightly reduce the amount of coffee the bag suggested per servings as the first batch was extremely strong. I would definitely try this blend again!
5/14/2015
This beans were lighter in color than I anticipated, but the brewed coffee had more of a roasted chestnut color. There was a slightly burnt finish, but a fruity smell. I am on the fence as to whether or not I would purchase this blend again.
5/8/2015
wasn't my favorite
4/29/2015
Really 3.5 stars. Decent flavor smells like dark cherries.
