Carl
Not a fan of the strikingly authentic pipe tobacco smell and taste. Chocolate and walnut combine for a very soft finish and aftertaste.
12/16/2020

Adrianna
Normally a fan of Indonesian coffee but this particular roast has a bitter note I don’t like
10/6/2020

Lucy
Great coffee!
8/31/2020

Jane
Love this one. Husband liked it, and he generally doesn't go for the earthy profile.
8/29/2020

Alyson
Took a few tries to get the grind right, but once I did the mellow flavor has been great for starting my mornings. Really enjoy the earthiness with a hint of sweet is nice.
4/17/2020

Zoe
Delicious! Well rounded, perfect with oat milk.
4/5/2020

Aaron
I may have received the wrong coffee this time. The bag labels the coffee as dark chocolate / pipe tobacco / walnut. I was expecting something with more herbal notes. The pipe tobacco smell is overwhelming but not as off putting in flavor. I would still never pick this coffee again.
4/3/2020

Jeffrey
Not a fan of this roast.
3/27/2020

Andrew
Solid coffee. Earthy, herbal, and bold are accurate descriptions. Enjoyed it but wouldn't mind drinking something just a little more fruity
3/17/2020

Mitchell
Subtle sweetness combined with that herbal flavor is phenomenal. Love it
2/22/2020

Justin
Not a big fan of Sumatra
2/19/2020

Steven
Better than the last. An earthy, satisfying flavor
2/11/2020

Sarah
Too bold for me
2/2/2020

Scott
A real winner! Hits all the right notes, strong but not overwhelming flavors, dark without a burnt taste. Love this!
1/28/2020

Brent
Good brew
1/23/2020

Suzie
great flavor, no weird after taste, smooth
1/21/2020

REBECCA
I don't care for this coffee. The flavor profile listed is correct - but I just don't care for earthy or herbal coffees. I prefer the sweeter notes of chocolate, caramel and nuts.
1/9/2020

Andrew
Not a fan of this flavor. Kind of bland.
1/8/2020

Shannon
Very burnt flavor, did not enjoy
12/20/2019

Nicholas
I would give this one a 3.5 if there was an option. As some other reviews say, it does have a quality that gives off a mild burnt taste, but I think it's just the strong note of that tobacco. Put a little extra water than you normally would, and it quells that bitterness a tad, but still let's the earthy boldness show up. Overall, ok, but probably wouldn't go out of my way for it again.
11/24/2019

D Joel
Nice earthy profile without some of the smoke that other Sumatra beans I've tasted had.
8/3/2019

Ryan
Only OK. Kind of bland in my opinion.
6/28/2019

Franklin
Great cold brewed
5/23/2019

Toby
Burnt flavor and tasted old
5/4/2019

Charles
Bag is fine, however there is no roasting date? Just an expiration a year out. Part of the reason why I get a subscription is to get fresh coffee with a roast date. This didn't bloom at all, doesn't appear fresh. Would not recommend this roaster.
4/21/2019

Tyler
Good, but not really note worthy
3/22/2019

matthew
Entirely too bold and earthy for my tastes....Will probably not use the rest of these beans.
1/28/2019

Jacob
It was alright.
11/23/2018

Leslie
I had given up on Sumatra after a few sour tasting brews...this one renewed my faith! Delicious!
11/9/2018

Bradford
If you like Sumatran coffees more than I do, you'll like this one more than I did.
10/25/2018

Kave
Very different and intriguing while being perfect for a morning brew. Especially appropriate for fall.
10/19/2018

Bob
Rich, bold, smooth, good flavor overall.
10/1/2018

Bradford
This struck me as a very standard Sumatran coffee. It's good if that's what you like, but I think I prefer more citrusy flavors.
9/25/2018

Jan & Jim
No particular comments but just didn't care for this one.
9/12/2018

Sonia
hint of lemon. needs creamer to taste good
8/24/2018

William
The herbal flavor isn't too overpowering, but I still needed a lot of sugar and flavored creamer to drink enjoyably.
8/20/2018

Josh
good not great. Finding out that fruity notes are the way to go for me. Still good though.
8/17/2018

Eric
This is my favorite
8/7/2018

Logan
Tastes acidic and burnt. Too bitter. I will try making it with a different ratio, but the dry smell did not impress me either.
7/29/2018

steve
Awesome..
7/7/2018

Laura
This one had lots of character. We tried it on the Chemex (Outstanding. The pepper spice over powers the eart and herbal. Paried wonderfully with a monkey bun.), Hario ( Brought out too much earth for me to really enjoy), and the Clever (Gave a good balance of herbal, spice, and earth). Overall, I enjoyed it, but my friend Kent didn't care for it.
6/22/2018

Alexis
This one was truly outstanding. Strong, not bitter or sour, this has come to define what a good cup of coffee should be. Loved it.
6/15/2018

Zach
Did not get the rich or fuller body flavor from this one quite as much
5/8/2018

Justin
Jess's favorite coffee so far.
5/3/2018

Hayden
This was the one bad coffee we have received from Mistobox. I hate complaining, but I suppose it's good to point this out so we don't get more with this flavor profile.
4/27/2018

Jodi
Loved this, rich, smooth, yes, earthy.
4/24/2018

Viviana
Terrific! Legitimately made me pause while drinking and say “Damn that’s a good cup of coffee”.
4/21/2018

Andy
Smelled like Indian spices and safron . Not my cup of coffee. (Per my taste)
4/16/2018

Russell
Probably my favorite coffee so far - earthy and bold, low acidity.
4/5/2018

Mike
Good, but not great.
3/30/2018

Kate
roast is too dark, too French roasty for me.
3/22/2018

Amru
Good coffee, but definitely tastes like an Indonesian. Not typically my first choice as I tend to go for single-origin Ethiopians when purchasing my own coffee.
3/21/2018

Fritz
a bit bitter/astringent. acidity also too low. similar notes on other indonesians, maybe need to try a different region.
3/18/2018

Deborah
I mean, I'm not going to throw it away (barely), but apparently "herbal and earthy" are not my cup of joe. Yuck. Please send me more coffee with chocolate/ caramel/ brown sugar notes!
3/16/2018

John
evenly balanced, good flavor
3/15/2018

Adam
A little too earthy.
3/7/2018

CHRISTOPH
Far too earthy, bordering on roasty. This coffee lead me to change the roast profile from medium to light.
3/7/2018

Jennifer
Full bodied flavor and easy to drink. Good for an every day coffee.
2/21/2018

Colleen
taste burnt on the palate. we tried with different water amounts and still left with a horrible taste :(
2/12/2018

Ashley
This is deliciously dark and nutty. It's very bold but is still easy to drink--it didn't feel like I had to sip it carefully, as I sometimes do when I have something really bold. I loved the contrast of it with fruit-filled oatmeal in the morning.
2/2/2018

Benjamin
Best coffee I have had yet
1/23/2018

Jamie
I've started using an AeroPress and all coffees are tasting better. That said, this is a nice bold blend but the herbal notes are almost a bit too subtle for me. Still, it is a very enjoyable morning cup.
1/21/2018

Aaron
Absolutely fantastic coffee- maybe my favorite of everything sent so far.
1/19/2018

Christopher
worst coffee i have had so far
1/18/2018

Bryant
A little too bold for my tastes.
1/5/2018

Andrew
Seemed maybe a little too dark and bold for me.
12/26/2017

wayne
Too bitter
12/1/2017

Mckendree
I did not like this bag. It was no better than a $5 bag of coffee from the grocery store. Sorry but this was very underwhelming.
11/30/2017

James
Great body and low acidity. This one is much darker roasted and smokier than you would think. BOLD all the way
11/29/2017

Meghan
Wasn’t a fan of the flavor
11/12/2017

Aaron
Too earthy for our tastes!
11/12/2017

Stephanie
I think Connor has figured us out - the Sumatra's he's sent are PERFECT for us. EVERY ONE OF THEM have been extremely enjoyable, and this one does not fall far from that course. I would drink this again, albeit now I have tried others and really know what I want :)
10/26/2017

Derek
Roast is a little too traditionally dark for me. Fewer fruit flavors come through. Needs to be brewed hotter and longer to balance out the somewhat typical carbonic flavors.
10/25/2017

Robert
not bold enough for our tastes
10/21/2017

James
A good coffee but nothing overly special about it.
10/21/2017

Tim
This coffee smells great. I wish the bag was larger. Very earthy but not dirty. A good autumn rainy day brew.
10/9/2017

Zach
Very distinct flavor. Enjoyable to drink for breakfast.
9/20/2017

Daniel
I liked this coffee more then the first one. It was a little bolder, but still on the mild side. The scent of the beans was a little to mild and herbally. Overall I thought the coffee was smooth and balanced. But I was a fan of how light and herbaly it was at first. It finished nice, but the first burst of flavor was to light. Other then that it was a good coffee. Better then the first, but still room to work out my flavor profile. Thanks. I look forward to your next selection.
9/2/2017

Ryan
writing this weeks after... so don't recall the details.
8/29/2017

Meghan
I rated in past batches that I don't like earthy and this and another past one have been earthy...I want one more like the first bag
8/23/2017

Tyler
mmmm! We love this one! Full of flavor and a great way to start our day.
8/22/2017

Clive
Best coffee I've had from Mistobox. Smooth, rich, perfect.
8/21/2017

Richard
LOVE THIS COFFEE.... Absolutely no bitterness and extremely smooth! More like this please :)
8/19/2017

Jack
Great cup of coffee! I would like to try some thing outside of Sumatra
8/17/2017

Kyle
Coffee is very dark, tastes burnt.
8/17/2017

Pete
Very good, a little bit of bitterness but a good cup
8/4/2017

James
This is a great sumatra, not too dark compared to others.
7/14/2017

Verdell
Another good one. Haven't had any I didn't like.
6/20/2017

Steven
We are moving in the right direction. This will be the one to beat, so let's keep trying.
6/3/2017

Laura
Another good cup of coffee, but like something darker.
5/8/2017

Lisa
It was good but not too remarkable.
5/5/2017

Allison
Way too sharp and acidic.
4/5/2017

Brittany
My favorite MistoBox coffee to date. I tried this coffee using both the French Press and Moka Pot. The Moka Pot definitely produced a superior cup. I love the bold, earthy, herbal flavors. The roast is spot on! Please send more similar to this.
4/1/2017

Ethan
Straight to the trash. This stuff is foul. Rancid tang.
3/31/2017

Jason
More of a medium than I was expecting. But great flavor and profile.
3/4/2017

Randolfo
Great taste, one of my favorites
2/26/2017

Fritz
Seth Mills, I do not understand why I have such a problem with this coffee. I brewed two pots trying different grind and strength but it tastes bad. Starbucks Sumatra is on of my favorites either as beans or K cups.
Hope the next selection is better. I can return most of this bag if you wish.
Fritz
2/15/2017

JOSEPH
Not a fan. Light roast is more of my profile.
1/24/2017

John
Good brew; no acidity; more body than suggested in the bag blurb. Earthiness does come through and suits our Northeast woodlands taste for coffees.
1/10/2017

Max
I've really enjoyed this slightly darker roast. The flavor it releases are different than the lighter roasts I have become accustomed to. I look forward to continue trying medium to darker roasts.
12/29/2016

Waylon
Sumatra Mandheling has long been a favorite of mine, and this bag was an outstanding example. Having some experience with the bean, I had some fun playing with ratios and brew methods. Towards the bottom of the bag, I made a pour-over cup with a rinsed paper filter, 1oz of med-fine ground bean, & 15oz of 205deg water. 90sec bloom, about 5 min total brew time. Yielded probably the best cup of coffee I've ever had. Rich, full, velvety smooth, great acidity, full-bodied earthy bouquet.
12/9/2016

Ronnie
Velvety
11/6/2016

Emer
my favorite delivery so far. more like this please
9/10/2016

Matthew
Best Sumatra I've had!
8/29/2016

mike
Three stars, simply because I'm a dark roast kinda guy. Having said that, if I wanted to keep medium roast on-hand...this would be the one. Smooth and silky, balanced acidity (unlike some medium roasts, here's looking at you ritual), mild but satisfying finish. I usually aeropress, but in my uneducated opinion this one holds up very well via drip. Family recently visited and it was nice not to have to hand-press every cup...drank several pots of this course ground and dripped, and got several compliments as well as enjoying it myself.
6/24/2016

William
The coffee is good (even though it is not of the roast that I had signed up for Medium vs Dark). It is exactly what the bag says and has a really smooth finish.
4/30/2016

Iris
Great strong coffee
4/27/2016

Michael
too bold/strong for me
3/11/2016

Brandon
Super rich and almost velvety. Love the earthiness and crema of this brew in a French press.
3/11/2016

chas
I wanted to like this more than I did. Tasty enough. Local roaster. But I found myself not finishing the cup, surprisingly. ... You sent it again in June, '18, and I like it more. Upped the stars to 5.
3/5/2016

Badr
A little darker than I like.
2/8/2016

Joe
it's so far the best sumatra i've had. not too much herbal notes and yet very rich in taste.
2/4/2016

Michael
I liked it a lot, the aroma is fantastic, no bitter aftertaste. Overall great start and I would recommend it. I might prefer a tad darker but that's if I'm trying to be picky .
1/18/2016

Agustin
Bold. Good flavor.
1/12/2016

Jason
A fine coffee with good body, but a tad bit too earthy for my liking. Thanks!
1/3/2016

Jesse
Too fruity and light in flavor
12/29/2015

Tait
Seriously the best coffee beans I've brewed. Really smooth taste
12/27/2015

Lydia
It wasn't as sweet as the description on the bag sounded.. But that was a good thing! Very tasty.
12/25/2015

Phil
Not a huge fan. There was a tobacco and smoky flavor that is not as enjoyable as some Sumatran's I have had. Still excited about the next one though!
12/16/2015

erin
Great flavor.
12/10/2015

Christopher
It has a big aroma from the bag. The taste is peppery and savory. It's almost like salted peanuts. I'm not a huge fan of this one. I prefer the flavor to be on the sweeter, chocolatey side. The aroma however, is outstanding.
12/8/2015

Andrew
It was less bold and lighter in color than we usually prefer. I liked it, but found some of the almost citrusy notes to be a little strange. My wife didn't like it very much because the flavor might have been too acidic and the after-taste wasn't pleasant.
12/5/2015

Josh
Sumatras always teeter on the edge between earthy and dirty, and I found this one slightly dirty. In fairness, most are, and this one was relatively clean as far as Sumatra coffees go. It was roasted well. 4 stars among Sumatra coffees, 2 stars among the rest of the world.
11/27/2015

Brian
Bright, strong flavor with notes of citrus fruit.
11/24/2015

Andrew
Great coffee. First order and very pleased. Flavor as described and aroma very nice. Great intro to single origin.
11/12/2015

Ellen
Very mild (very far from the "bold" as described). Bitter aftertaste. Very disappointed.
10/17/2015

Andrew & Rachel
Too earthy for us. Prominent dirt flavors.
5/7/2015

Katrina
Was ok
4/28/2015

Jennifer
My husband loves this coffee because it is so different.
4/21/2015

Evan
Very crisp and bright for an Indonesian bean. I dig it.
3/6/2015

Preeti
Did not enjoy this coffee. I selected dark roast, bold espresso blends and this did not fit that profile. I was disappointed in this selection.
2/4/2015

Sadie
Not too bad. Was not as dark or full of flavor that I was anticipating but I wouldn't mind having another cup!
