Good coffee, rich complex taste.

Very good coffee. Good mid-palate, but not a significant finish
12/18/2021
Nice dark roast. Seemed just a tad burnt.
4/23/2021
It was OK, but not much flavor.
2/26/2021
Tasted like morning dew on a sunny day, with a touch of lobster bisque, followed by a whole bunch of coffee flavor.... yeah that’s mostly it, coffee flavor!
1/9/2021
Good balance of dark roasted coffee with not too much over powering flavor and good bodied blend
9/18/2018
I found it pretty boring
7/31/2018
So far, Barefoot has consistently been more enjoyable to me than any other roaster from MistoBox.
6/14/2018
Like toast with jam. Like a bite of buttery pie crust, with a hint of savoriness. Dry, earthy, nutty, malty.
Surprised and enjoyed.

Great roast, they stopped short of smoky with a good chocolate flavor. Not as strong of chocolate as some of the others I've had but it lets other flavors in. It says nutty, but I get more of a chocolate caramel taste.
3/1/2018
Not too bitter. Great tasting cup of java from start to finish.
1/28/2018
Nutty flavor really comes through with this one. Pleasure is offset by quite a bit of astringency.
10/19/2017
good, not as fruity as i would like, but still very enjoyable
10/15/2017
Love this one!! So easy to drink and very full of flavor.
10/4/2017
I am enjoying this coffee very much. I prefer the smoothness and richness of this coffee over the first one I received.
8/22/2017
Awful, dry beans, tasteless coffee. "Smooth" if you call hot water smooth. Reminds me of Kenya Peaberry.
8/21/2017
Had high expectations for this one. Solidly average imo. Others really seem to like it, so I may be off on this one.
Flavor doesn't seem that great or exciting. Fairly easy to pull some good shots on my manual espresso machine though which is nice.

Great coffee – full-bodied what with a lot of character. Very unusual flavor
7/9/2017
Description of light and creamy is accurate, with hints of chocolate. Used for summer time cold brew and it was excellent. When used for warm morning coffee, flavors were not as bold as I would like but overall not a bad cup.
6/26/2017
The graham cracker notes really come through
6/16/2017
Sounded good. was not good. Flat.
6/12/2017
Another victory! Nice full body, can definitely pick up the hazelnuts--another favorite!
6/12/2017
This one is a bit more acidic than the others. We don't love it as much.
6/8/2017
One of my favorites
6/3/2017
So this one is exceptionally smooth and creamy. Very low acidity almost bland as no particular flavor jumps out. Maybe because of the lighter roast? A little chocolate but not much nutty tones. I get some sweetness I assume is from the honey process. This is with AP (metal filter) and french press. I'm gonna have to try a V60 to see if I can pick up some additional flavors.
5/20/2017
Tastes just like it smells, which is a very good thing! Like the creaminess and heavy body.
5/12/2017
Really enjoyed this coffee. Made using a 15:1 ratio in the chemex. It's a great everyday coffee with nice notes of chocolate and almonds. I'm going to try to use this with the hot bloom/cold brew method and see how it turns out.
5/1/2017
Very, VERY good. Smooth and full flavor. Can definitely taste the chocolate and nuts. The description is very accurate. Nice coffee for starting your day. Dark Roast is more my speed and this hits the head on the nail.
4/21/2017
Amazing
4/18/2017
Rich & very flavorful with lots of chocolate & nutty overtones.
4/14/2017
I very much enjoyed this coffee, however it is a bit too sweet.
4/14/2017
This coffee was excellent. Tastes sweet to start w/ strong chocolate notes and finishes in a bold mocha flavor. Easy to brew, was brewing this optimally at the 2nd attempt. Tasted excellent as espresso, but the coffee was so good as chemex I drank it all as a chemex brew.
4/10/2017
This coffee is fantastic. It is better than the last one I got. Even my wife, who takes her coffee with flavored creamer, was surprised how good it was. It wasn't bitter at all. Very smooth.
4/4/2017
I really enjoyed this coffee. It has great aroma and flavor. Full body yet smooth and balanced flavor.
4/3/2017
Great morning coffee. Love the body and the notes of s'mores in it! could have been a little darker, but the flavor makes up for.

Taste pretty bland to me. I think from the first coffee i tried in this subscription that I might not be into flavored coffee but this coffee for being flavored I don't taste anything. No bitterness, no roastiness. Just regular tasteless coffee.
3/21/2017
Delicious! A bit sweet but not too sweet. Not an overpowering flavour, but subtle and awesome :)
3/17/2017
Great cup of coffee! Nothing I haven't like about it!
3/16/2017
A very nice cup. Actually ate it with a S'more and the combination was perfect.
2/26/2017
I like the full bodied-ness of it. Bitter. Roasty. I think the beans were darker than what I usually get
2/25/2017
The coffee was delicious. It was a little on the acidic side. It was not bitter at all. It did taste a little burnt. The beans are a tad on the light side of what we typically buy.
2/11/2017
Great roast from start to finish. Great full bodied taste that was true to it's tasting notes. One of the best Brazilian roasts I've had. I enjoyed it more than my previous selection. It had great bean coloring, wasn't sour or too acidic, not bitter or burnt. It was a super delicious roast. :)
2/10/2017
I enjoyed this coffee in both autodrip and pour over with vario V60.
2/5/2017
Overall a good balance.
2/4/2017
I definitely like the chocolate flavor in this coffee, but it came off a bit too bitter for my taste. The Taylor Maid Farms Sonoma Roast, was definitely better for me.
1/31/2017
Ron and I were not crazy about the taste of this one. Beans are lighter but just not rich enough and didn't taste as smooth.
Thanks!
Jean
Thanks!

Very exotic and complex! This was a fantastic hot cup, but an okay cold brew.
1/27/2017
The smell of this coffee is AMAZING, the finish is really nice, but it was a little too smoky for us. We do really like notes of chocolate and hazelnuts though.
1/26/2017
Not bad! Tastes are a bit muted but brews a fine cup regardless.
1/21/2017
The Red Cab was as good as the Sumatra Batak Nauli. Very Good coffee bean. It is a smooth lighter roast and balanced coffee. Not bitter tasting or acidic.
1/19/2017
Great coffee. Very smooth and balanced. Not abrasive or acidic. Highly recommend.
1/15/2017
This was a great coffee. It was well balanced and wasn't too earthy or too acidic. I really enjoyed it.
12/10/2016
Makes a good cup of coffee. Smooth.
12/9/2016
Way too light of a roast and the flavor notes aren't very apparent.
12/4/2016
Liked this one - please include again in the future.
11/23/2016
Coffee description sounded delicious and the beans smelled wonderful so i expected it to taste delicious, but it was underwhelming. It tasted like any standard coffee...nothing special.
11/14/2016
I have tried it a few times and best way I can describe it is I really enjoy this coffee a lot. It seems like a well balanced cup of coffee to me, not too weak or to strong. It is very smooth and I am loving it.
11/2/2016
Excellent coffee. Arrived two days off roast. Best experience so far has been on the French Press; milk chocolatey with notes of almond
10/22/2016
Well balanced but did not have flavors as prominent as I would have liked. I brewed with a Chemex.
10/18/2016
So good! With everything!
10/4/2016
Delicious with coffee with notes of chocolate and cinnamon. It is not too dark. A very well rounded coffee.
10/3/2016
My wife and I did not enjoy this coffee too much. It was overall too weak for our preference. The flavor was there, but just not bold enough. Going forward, we would like to increase the robustness. Color of the bean, similarly, was lighter than we enjoy.But this experience has been fun, and we're looking forward to our next shipment.
9/26/2016
When I read the description of this coffee, I was really excited to try it. The color of the bean is just as I like. But, I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be. The notes of graham cracker hit my palate as a little too roasted or burnt and I seemed to miss the chocolate all together. I think I like the rise and shine better than this one. But still a very enjoyable cup of coffee. Agai
9/17/2016
Good coffee, pretty smooth. It is a little hard to dial in the right combination
9/8/2016
Excellent coffee- one of my favorites that was sent!
9/2/2016
Best coffee ever
8/25/2016
It didn't leave much of an impression on me.
8/24/2016
This coffee is like drinking heaven.
8/22/2016
Creamy graham cracker. Delicious.
8/20/2016
Really enjoyed this one. Very good flavor. Not sharp or bitter.
7/28/2016
This is an amazing coffee. Every cup is smooth and delicious!
7/26/2016
Good, but nothing special. Seems to require a very fine grind no matter the brewing method to get any strength out of it.
7/22/2016
Great coffee with smooth afternotes.
7/18/2016
This coffee was by far the best thing I have ever drank!!
7/16/2016
Awesome coffee my wife loved this coffee. Thank you
7/13/2016
Considering the "heavy bodied" description, I was surprised to find that my first few brews with this coffee had a tea-like color and a weak extraction. After decreasing the grind size considerably, I got a stronger cup, but I can't seem to find any brightness or sweetness to balance the spice or bring out the chocolate flavor. Smells like baking cookies while it is brewing, though, so maybe I just haven't dialed in the brew.
6/30/2016
Best cup of coffee I've ever had, hands down!
6/27/2016
Great flavor with hints of cocoa and nuttiness!
5/15/2016
Really enjoying this coffee. Deep, rich and has a pleasant finish.Big, round, not too sweet or smokey. One of my favorite darker roasts I have tried.
5/3/2016
Smooth and medium light. I wish there was a sweeter note to it, possibly some fruit.
4/30/2016
Yummy!
4/17/2016
A tremendous cup either warm, cold, black or supplemented. Maintains its smooth flavor, and has a heavy scent. Brewed with an Aeropress.
4/15/2016
I did not care for the nougat and taffy notes.
3/29/2016
Pleasantly surprised to actually tasted the taffy. I'd be interested in a few more off-beat tasting notes in future coffees.
3/27/2016
I've only has two espressos so far so I may ammend this review, but I found this coffee to be bitter and get more of smoky flavor than chocolate. It's ok.
3/21/2016
A very tasty coffee. I really enjoy it first thing in the morning.
3/19/2016
Really delicious. This is our kind of coffee- striking the right balance between fresh and comforting, spicy and rich, and layered and straightforward. Cocoa predominates, with underlying dried fruits and warm spices.
3/18/2016
This is good, not my favorite but not my least. I feel like it's lacking in a little bit of body...it feels empty. Happily drinking the full bag, but wishing it was a deeper roast.
3/10/2016
i enjoy this coffee very much. A little more mild than I what I like in my previous mailings.
3/7/2016
This bean was almost a little too bitter for me. The bag smelled good, but unfortunately it was just a little too bitter and even bland at times even when I added a little sugar and cream.
2/29/2016
really good coffee. it has a great deep chocolate and roasted marshmallow taste. would definitely buy again and recommend.
2/26/2016
Good coffee, but maybe a little too light.
2/12/2016
Love this! Killer.
1/28/2016
Starts off well, but becomes more bitter as it cools.
12/6/2015
Chocolate and spice. Nicely balanced coffee.
12/4/2015
I really enjoyed this one. The chocolate notes are of particular interest to me.
11/17/2015
Did not love this one. It was very bitter to me.
11/5/2015
This has been my absolute favorite coffee so far. It's so rich and chocolatey, it's not too acidic, and it's been perfect to wake up to in the morning.
10/17/2015
Delicious cup! Creamy with a chocolate taste and aroma, absolutely love it! would recommend this cup for anyone that hasn't tried it.
10/5/2015
This one was better but not strong enough
9/16/2015
I definitely wasn't a fan. It was way too sour which I'm not used to. Especially with an AeroPress.
8/14/2015
This was a decent roast, but the unique flavors didn't come through as well as I would have hoped.
8/5/2015
Not the best,but certainly not the worst cup. Just middle of the road . Smells great brewing, but that does not carry into the cup.
7/30/2015
Not a fan.
7/8/2015
Just as the notes describe, get that smell of toffee and caramel. Very nice cup.
7/7/2015
Light weight light chocolate with a hint of nuttiness. Walnut like tones. Rich and smooth. Not a strong in acid or flavor, but a cup worth liking. Cream and sugar can easily overpower this roast.Other notes: blade grinder; use pour over method; 195-200 degree; 1/8th cup of grounds per cup.
6/29/2015
kind of dull, lacking flavor
6/25/2015
Can't wait for my next breakfast cup of coffee!
6/9/2015
Not bad, but not a standout either. The flavors dulled quickly even with proper storage. Ambiguous naming is more reminiscent of a blend than a single origin.
6/2/2015
Pretty good. Full bodied.
