Brewed as espresso and was just okay. I never really got it dialed in.

not a fan of this one
3/23/2023
So good! One of our favorites. So velvety, almost feels like a dessert coffee.
2/22/2023
Not bad, but I felt that it was not as strong of a flavor when cold brewed, which is how I drink coffee most days.
8/10/2022
Good cup all around. Body, mouthfeel, and flavor played well off each other. Nice chocolate, caramel, and toffee notes
6/23/2022
This was just my second Mistobox selection. It was OK, but nothing special stood out. Sisters Black Butte Gold appealed to me more.
6/3/2022
Never arrived.
5/26/2022
Love this! Full of all the flavors I like, and perfectly balanced. I will definitely be adding this to my top favorites. Will be ordering again.
5/23/2022
This is one of my favorite coffees thus far, and I've tried quite a few.
5/14/2022
Excellent roast. Will enjoy this again.
5/8/2022
one of our very favorites, rich and smooth
3/5/2022
One of the best so far!! As good as it is hot, it might even be better iced!!
3/3/2022
Coffee was not a dark roast at all. Would not reorder.
2/28/2022
Dark and just rich enough so it’s not to heavy in its smokiness. Nutty notes ring clear atop its smooth chocolatey base.
2/5/2022
This was amazing. I love nutty coffee.
1/10/2022
Well rounded coffee that is not spectacular on its own but plays nicely with additives. Made a nice vanilla latte.
10/22/2021
Very Nice!
10/15/2021
One of my favorite of any sent so far!
7/25/2021
Wasn't the best I've had from Mistobox, but was decent.
5/16/2021
I liked this, my wife loves it. Dark, well balanced
5/10/2021
Good but too fruity.
5/9/2021
Well balanced, easy to drink. Great with eggs and toast.
5/6/2021
It was preground for drip coffee and so I was not able to drink it as espresso. I'm not a fan of drip and so this was mostly OK.
5/6/2021
This did not work for me. An especially thin, acidic finish on the tongue.
4/30/2021
This was one of my favorites
4/28/2021
Good but not great I prefer a darker roast
4/21/2021
Not bad, but didn't really stick out from any of the others that I've had so far.
4/20/2021
That was a great cup of coffee. GREAT. I will have to get it again.
4/19/2021
Loved the taste
4/9/2021
This was so surprisingly great! The first sip I literally went "wow" it had great balance between bold dark and sweet buttery notes this may be one of my favorites! I liked that this one did not seem acidic or smoky flavored
I used chemex pour over system, 15g coffee to 10 oz watee

Good flavor and nice color. Not as strong as we usually drink, but very good.
4/7/2021
Loved it
4/6/2021
Delicious chocolate and caramel tones, smooth with no acidity
3/28/2021
I don't normally like dark but this one has a lot of flavor without tasting burnt. Very good
3/27/2021
Nice seasonal taste; enjoyed this blend although it was not as dark as usually prefer.
3/26/2021
Absolutely loved this coffee! The nuttiness and brightness make it very enjoyable for me and I would drink it every day.
3/24/2021
Loved this one
3/21/2021
Great flavor & makes a really nice cup of coffee. Nutty but still light & flavorful!
3/20/2021
Great smell. Taste left more to be desired
3/19/2021
I had no idea that brewing method was so important! Tried brewing this coffee using Blue Bottle's pour over method, and it was just ok. I really wasn't looking forward to drinking a couple of weeks' worth of it. Then, I brewed it using Brandywine's pourover instructions, and it's really good! The chocolatey notes really come through, and it's a nice smooth cup of coffee that I really enjoy!
3/17/2021
It was nice but not very strong. Smelled just heavenly brewing.
3/15/2021
Nothing special but a solid coffee
3/13/2021
Tastes lighter than I prefer, but was an amazing cup of coffee!
3/12/2021
Not a fan of this one. It had a very bitter after taste in both pour over and espresso. I’m not sure why this was selected for me but not an ideal match.
3/12/2021
it was just meh
3/10/2021
It was super yummy. I will welcome this coffee again.
3/8/2021
This coffee was pretty great. I really tasted the nut and chocolate, like almonds. It had a great mouth feel as an espresso. I even loved the bag, with the actual wax seal on it. That was cool.. But ya, good coffee!
3/7/2021
Like the roast but too chocolatey and floral/bitter
3/7/2021
This was our favorite one so far. Delicious!
3/7/2021
Tasty!
3/6/2021
I really loved this. Well balanced. My husband thought it might be too acidic for his tastes. I do like a coffee with a more distinctive aroma and this was fairly basic.
3/5/2021
Excellent complex nutty and chocolate notes
3/4/2021
Definitely nutty flavor for me and smells nutty too. My wife like the smell when she wakes up. Aftertaste has chocolate taste for me, delicious.
3/3/2021
Odd blueberry scent.Not a dark roast.
3/2/2021
Arrived really late and not so fresh
2/27/2021
Too bitter
2/26/2021
The first real stinker of the bunch. Really bitter, roasty flavors forward which I don't prefer. Looking at the blend it's a mostly dark blend, which I guess isn't so much my taste.
2/26/2021
Flavorful and bold
2/25/2021
Enjoyed this coffee, but the flavor nodes did not stand out to me as much as expected.
2/25/2021
Great aroma, good body, but too nutty and earthy for me
2/23/2021
Not bold enough
2/21/2021
Awesome smell, bland taste
2/21/2021
Little too acidic for us, but good quality coffee. Acidity was lower when brewed with higher pressure.
2/16/2021
I like it very much
2/15/2021
Just a little TOO dark. May adjust profile to be a little more medium/fruity blended.
2/14/2021
2/14/2021
I give my preference...y’all give results. On point guys.
2/13/2021
Kind of standard, but nice nutty notes
2/13/2021
Loved it! It's also from right next to my home town - too funny
2/12/2021
Pretty solid blend
2/11/2021
Too light of a roast. The flavor is smooth, but the aftertaste is rather tart.
2/7/2021
Good coffee, reminds me of sitting in a coffee house. Freshly roasted and nutty
2/6/2021
I been thinking about the coffees I’ve tried. Honestly, I’ve felt that they were all awesome. I don’t believe I could put one before another.
Happy days...

Tastes good, but if it were stronger it’d be perfect.
2/3/2021
It's good. It has a subtle dark taste.
If you're looking for something warm but not too strong this is a great pick for you.

Not my favorite.
1/31/2021
Not dark enough
1/27/2021
This was my first one and I really liked it, but they’ve since gotten better and better
1/27/2021
Well-balanced without any bitterness!
1/25/2021
Roast was okay, but a bit too nutty for my liking.
1/24/2021
Not for me, too light a roast. Please do not send again.
1/24/2021
Weak flavor compared to the other brews I’ve received. Burr ground and brewed with chemex.
1/24/2021
A bit thin and weak. Taste not bad, but prefer a richer brew
1/24/2021
Too earthy tasting for me
1/24/2021
It was good, but I prefer a stronger coffee.
1/21/2021
Loved this one!
1/20/2021
Smooth, not bitter, but not bold enough for my liking.
1/20/2021
overall fantastic!
1/19/2021
It tasted good, however I like a darker/bold coffee.
1/18/2021
Slightly strong for my taste.
1/18/2021
Well balanced and smooth. Loved this!
1/17/2021
Very acidic, and didn't go well with milk.
1/16/2021
Had good flavor black, with sugar, cream or both
1/16/2021
A bit lighter than we typically drink but still enjoyed.
1/16/2021
Just like the description says: rich, full-bodied, dark flavors without being too bitter or acidic. Delicious.
1/14/2021
Loved this!!!
1/13/2021
Very smooth drinking and good flavor
1/12/2021
Good tasting, though my preference may be for slightly more full-bodied character.
1/10/2021
Very smooth and no acid big plus!
1/10/2021
I really like it. Great taste and not bitter.
1/10/2021
It is bitter. I did not care for it.
1/9/2021
I thought it was smooth, but not robust. I like a darker coffee with earthier tones.
1/9/2021
I liked the earthiness of this coffee.
1/9/2021
Smooth, really good
1/9/2021
This is really good coffee! I appreciate the freshness and the obviously recent and small-batch grind. It’s fragrant and flavorful and fairly well-balanced. “Chocolate” and “nutty” are definitely apt descriptors. It does have a little of that medium-roast single-origin sourness/acidity that I’m not a huge fan of though so don’t be afraid to send me a darker roast in the future. I prefer my coffee to have those sour edges caramelized off which in my experience happens with high-quality dark roast.
1/8/2021
Good but a little too much chocolate flavor for my taste.
1/8/2021
Yummy
1/7/2021
Wonderful smell but not very flavorful. I’m going to try adding more grounds to my next brew to see if it was my error.
1/6/2021
Rally nice and well balanced. Would love to find something with a bit of a more medium roast but still gets those chocolate notes.
1/6/2021
I ALWAYS prefer a dark roast coffee but I trusted the process of letting the company match my preference and I was very impressed. I don't normally like something described as Nutty but this was a good, rich, full bodied coffee and I found myself wanting to smell it as often as I could. I think I was most impressed with the packaging with the wax seal placed on the bag for that touch of class. Nice choice!
1/5/2021
Just not my cup of Coffee, I was hoping for a dark roast as my profile suggested and this blend just didnt quite get there for me.
1/5/2021
Not my style. Gets bitter too quick, too light. I often second guessed how it differed from Keurig brewed cups.
1/5/2021
Light flavor, weak finish. Easy to drink, but very little depth, even at double strength. Unfortunately, I find this to be the case with most Brazilian blends.
1/4/2021
This was too mild for us. It is listed as medium-dark, but to us, it tasted like a medium. We’ll be trying something darker next.
1/4/2021
I'm a dark roast person, which I was careful to indicate in my survey. This roast was very light, giving it far too much acidity for me. It's drinkable, but I am hoping the next coffee reflects my preferences better.
1/4/2021
too acidic
1/4/2021
Fresh, smooth tasting, yet bold.
1/4/2021
The roast was too light for our tastes. It had more acidic notes of lemon than we typically like.
1/3/2021
Delicious. Any way you can tell the company that they need to check their geography? Brazil and Colombia are not in Central America.
1/3/2021
not dark enough roast
1/3/2021
Not the best....
1/3/2021
Lovely blend! Loved it!
1/3/2021
I enjoyed this coffee. It would have been great if this was also organic and fair trade.
1/2/2021
Too acidic for my taste
1/1/2021
Good robust coffee. Prefer dark roasts.
1/1/2021
Smooth
1/1/2021
Relatively smooth but reminded me of a restaurant blend which typically aren’t really full bodied to my taste. Prefer something darker and ‘warmer’.
1/1/2021
I said I like dark roars and this is a very “blonde” coffee. But it was better than expected. Hoping that the next coffee that Misto sends is a dark roast.
12/31/2020
Delicious!! Smooth! Comforting!
12/30/2020
I little more nutty flavored than I normally drink. Its good just not my preference.
12/29/2020
Nice flavor very smooth
12/29/2020
I little too light bodied for my taste.
12/29/2020
Rich, creamy, flavorful, and smooth.
12/28/2020
Very good coffee! I like the taste of the Smith Bridge Road Blend in an espresso, Americano, or latte.
12/28/2020
I tasted a sharpness like a cherry undertone. I prefer a warmer bolder coffee.
12/26/2020
Great roast and mouth feel but the taste felt flat and one dimensional. I did not taste chocolate or nutty flavors.
12/26/2020
Good and rich. Nice first coffee.
12/26/2020
This blend overall didn't feel very full bodied. I typically drink my coffee with a bit of sugar only, FYI. This tasted a tiny bit too bitter.
12/26/2020
I think I like something stronger
12/26/2020
so good
12/21/2020
I thought it was real good. Balanced. I’d get it again
12/11/2020
We love how smooth this coffee is. Great flavor, good black or with creamer. My husband likes coffee with just a bit more complexity and oiliness. This one is very close to perfect for me.
12/10/2020
Yum!
12/8/2020
Good balanced flavor
12/7/2020
Delicious
11/28/2020
Not my fave, kind of lacked flavor.
11/17/2020
Neither offensive nor particular interesting/appealing. Just ok.
11/3/2020
Just OK; had a flavor on the back-end that I didn't love.
11/3/2020
A big favorite with both of us. Balanced preference between roasty flavors without being TOO roasty or acidic.
9/27/2020
Loved this coffee. Full bodied but very smooth, no bitterness.
9/20/2020
Very smooth
9/6/2020
Made great Espresso. Made "ok" pour-over coffee. Flavor of coffee was bland. Nice touch with the wax seal on the bag.
7/22/2020
This coffee is in between a 4 and a 5 for me. The blend makes it incredibly balanced. Right amount of acidity for a very enjoyable deep roast flavor. However, because of the blend, it doesn't quite achieve a 5 because no single flavor profile takes center stage. Brewed with french press. 200 degrees, 1 minute bloom, 4 minute seep before plunge.
7/17/2020
little too bitter
7/6/2020
HUGE fan
6/10/2020
Brewed several times via pourover (melitta cone) - full boil; 1:18 ratio. Flavors come through less towards chocolate, and more on the nutty side to me - peanut especially. I do find myself wishing it had more strength (/body?) to it, as I felt it was much more of delicate "nutty-ness" than a full bodied blend. I'd probably recommend this for a dessert coffee, or to go into any baking that calls for brewed coffee (brownies with nuts, maybe?)
6/9/2020
Rich, full of flavor. Love the roasted coffee smell.
5/18/2020
This one is not for me at all. It's nutty, and pleasantly full-bodied. I brewed it with a Clever Dripper and gave the rest to my family. I enjoyed the body, but now I know I'm not a fan of nuttiness! I didn't get chocolate from this at all, and prefer a caramel note to chocolate even if I did.
5/18/2020
Definitely had nutty flavors!
5/15/2020
Loved it. Didn't take much to get my ratio down. Very smooth and not at all bitter. I felt the balance between the chocolate and nut flavors was right for my taste. Neither was overpowering.
5/7/2020
Did not like the taste nor strength
5/2/2020
This is a pleasant and rich coffee, described as a Dark Roast but I would say more like a Medium dark roast.
4/28/2020
All around an excellent cup.
4/13/2020
This was my favorite coffee so far! Loved the taste and body of it. Rhi says it might have been even better because it was fresh ground by me as I usually get pre-ground coffees.
4/12/2020
Smooth but I wouldn’t call it full bodied. I enjoyed this one
4/5/2020
This coffee was darker than I usually enjoy. At first it tasted burnt, but I got to a good ratio that turned it into a great cup. We liked the flavor notes and body of this coffee. The acidity level was pleasant.
3/31/2020
Loved it! Flavor profile was a perfect blend of nuts with a strong chocolate note
3/28/2020
This has a sweetness and nuttiness that I like. I just wish it was a little darker. I ordered it because I grew up near the Brandywine area and was curious about the coffees in the region. This probably has the best packaging of any coffees I've gotten from Mistobox.
2/25/2020
I love it
2/2/2020
Exactly how we like our coffee to taste
1/12/2020
Exactly what I want in a coffee.
1/8/2020
too bright
1/2/2020
One of the best coffees I've had. Perfectly balanced and rich flavor, very low acidity, and consistent through different brewing methods. Will definitely be adding this to my queue again.
12/28/2019
This was delightful. Though the acidity was a little high for me. It has great notes of chocolate in the brew. The flavor really comes out when finely ground.
12/26/2019
Another good batch. Would've rated it higher but just coming off the previous bag Cafe Luna, it was hard to beat
11/25/2019
this is the first coffee I had to discard.. totally not for my taste buds. Too bitter for me
11/23/2019
Maybe the best coffee I’ve ever had. Amazing.
11/20/2019
Good heavy dark roast. Like the chocolate, walnut, and caramel notes.
10/29/2019
This is labeled dark roast and tastes like a dark roast. We've complained once before that we don't like dark roasts. And, our settings reflect that.
10/28/2019
I loved it! Great coffee! Great blend!
9/21/2019
Really good. Very much enjoyed this one.
8/3/2019
Fabulous!
6/10/2019
Excellent coffee
6/9/2019
Great everyday blend. Good with just hint of milk or cream.
5/4/2019
Nicely balanced. A good mix of deep flavors with mild acidity. The nutty notes in the scent and flavor are wonderful.
3/16/2019
too bold for our tastes!
2/18/2019
Agree with previous reviewer, Brandywine has some excellent coffees but this one is a dark roast. Mistobox, please update your description.
11/14/2018
This is listed as "medium-light" but arrives with a "dark roast" label and behaves as the latter. The worst coffee I've had on Mistobox. I was raving about Brandywine to friends and now I feel duped, knowing they have this in their lineup.
10/18/2018
Smooth & flavorble
9/25/2018
Too fruity for my taste
8/13/2018
The roast is so dark, that to my unsophisticated palate, it may as well be Starbucks. I can't taste any flavor other than char.
5/26/2018
I requested medium roast. Medium to medium light are ok. I would not like any more dark roast selections please.
5/18/2018
Our very favorite yet!!!!
4/29/2018
It was a really dark roast. I was only able to drink a cup a day, as it would destroy my stomach if I had two. Also, strangely, I'd get headaches. Other coffees have been great and you've done a good job picking them out.
4/10/2018
I was a little worried when I saw that the bag said it was a dark roast. I don't know that I would classify it as a dark roast, but it is still darker than I generally prefer. I've enjoyed it more than I expected to, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to get it again.
3/5/2018
The bag says "dark roast" on it which worried me because I'm not dark roast-loving, but the roast level was actually medium.
2/21/2018
Tastes sour to me - which I hate.
I also miss the strong coffee smell.
I also miss the strong coffee smell.
2/16/2018
Too acidic and not enough body
2/3/2018
Excellent coffee! This was my first coffee from MB and it was a great choice. It made a very smooth, flavorful cup of coffee, just the way I like my coffee!
1/27/2018
soooooo comforting and rich. Perfect coffee for cold winter day
