The description said smoky, and they're not wrong. This coffee is very smooth and dark and smells like a campfire. A little cream and sugar results in coffee that tastes like burnt marshmallows (I was one of those kids who thought toasting marshmallows was a waste if you didn't light them on fire).
8/6/2023
This was good.
7/18/2023
If you are a dark coffee lover who likes that smoky, full-roasted flavor, these are the beans for you. I find this to be a perfect cup of dark coffee.
7/7/2023
This has to be one of my favorites! Unfortunately that makes I will make a second pot for some days! It's that enjoyable!
5/10/2023
Better than the double dark.
4/9/2023
very good and nice smoke and sugar
3/26/2023
A nice hearty dark roast with oily beans. I love oily beans!!!
2/20/2023
Excellent coffee
2/12/2023
Too oily.
2/6/2023
I did not enjoy this. It was too smokey...I have to brew it weak to drink.
9/28/2022
By far this is my favorite coffee I have received from Mistobox. Metro French Roast lives up to its billing as robust, with really dark, strong flavors. It brewed nicely across all the methods I used: drip, press, Chemex.
7/28/2022
Amazing flavor profile, oily beans, robust flavor. Ended up grinding fine and using a drip coffee machine. My favorite coffee by far so far. Perfect choice for those looking for a dark, rich cup. Would be interested in seeing other DCR coffees
2/14/2022
Not a big fan of french roast style so not really my bag. I found it dry with a burned aftertaste. for a french roast it was fine--i just don't care much for them
12/28/2021
OK, not amazing
11/29/2021
Dark but not too interesting
11/2/2021
This coffee is so rich and intense. We love the smoky notes and the deep flavor. Such a treat in the morning.
9/18/2021
Very nice. Wonderful aroma and good bold flavor
9/7/2021
Very nice deep dark roast. We double brewed it as an iced coffee in our pour over (Kalita Wave 185) just like the last roast we received. We enjoyed the smokey notes in the coffee and it was very smooth to drink.
8/29/2021
A bold blend that was solid but nothing exciting. Nice taste and easy to grind.
8/18/2021
This was perfection. Exactly the kind of flavor I like in my coffee. Absolutely nailed it. Thank you.
8/17/2021
Really bitter bold taste. No matter how i make it
7/28/2021
Love this!
7/23/2021
Superb rich pure coffee flavor. No aftertaste.
7/14/2021
Dark oily coffee with a nice flavor, but a kind of weak flavor. Might mix it with the Deep Space espresso to lighten it some.
6/21/2021
Delicious
6/7/2021
Solid, good coffee. Nice boldness. Decent richness. It doesn’t get to 5 stars because I just wanted a little more flavor. Maybe something with a more nutty profile next time
5/4/2021
A little too dark/ bitter for us
5/3/2021
Rich taste. Loved this selection!!
1/16/2021
This coffee has very strong and bitter. It was a little too dark for me. I had a difficult time tasting all of the other notes in the coffee. I had to adjust my ratios to make a good cup.
10/27/2020
We really liked this -- it hit our preferred flavor profile.
10/21/2020
Love it! Bold and smooth. A great morning cup.
9/13/2020
Intense, bold, good heavy body, with subtle stone fruit notes
9/9/2020
Very rich, but had a burnt flavor. Also not a fan of flavored coffee.
7/27/2020
Amazing! I love the smoky caramel. I can use these for my espresso and it doesn't loose any flavor. Definitely a new favorite
7/10/2020
Nice dark, bold and flavorful brew.
7/4/2020
Loved it!
6/11/2020
Very delicious brew. Was not overwhelming in any particular taste. All the flavors are blended nicely
6/8/2020
Love it!
5/20/2020
Excellent. Strong rich flavor, nice depth.
5/17/2020
Loved it!
5/5/2020
Best one I've had!
5/1/2020
Great
4/25/2020
Rich and creamy
4/24/2020
Solid blend
4/19/2020
A bit too dark and intense for me, but still a good cup of coffee.
4/19/2020
Loved this coffee!
4/11/2020
Okay is you prefer South American blends
4/5/2020
Truly excellent coffee. Really enjoyed this selection.
3/31/2020
Very strong bitter, a bit too bold for my taste.
3/21/2020
This coffee is good, but it was a little too dark for me.
3/20/2020
Love the flavor , not subtle at all which is great tasting. I would buy again
3/17/2020
Love it. Bold rich flavors.
3/16/2020
Thought it bordered on burnt and was too dark for me.
3/10/2020
So far, this is the best one I've had. Pretty dark. I little smokey , which I like, but not overwhelming. I certainly wouldn't mind getting this again.
2/26/2020
I thought the coffee was very good. It has a dark taste and striking notes at times. It certainly is full-bodied but can sometimes taste a bit weak.
2/14/2020

2/8/2020
Wonderful coffee. I am going to have to learn better ways to describe coffee.
2/8/2020
The flavor of the coffee was good, but very strong and too bitter for our tastes.
2/1/2020
Wasn't bad, but we liked others more.
1/31/2020
Really like this coffee! Strong and Bold!!!
1/11/2020
Good, but I liked last month's better. This was a bit too dark.
12/9/2019
Bold flavor, really good.
10/31/2019
Too smoky
10/25/2019
Decent...
9/23/2019
For me personally this is too dark. I do not like the "smoky aroma" and "tastes of toasted oak"!
9/11/2019
Good.
8/10/2019
Too acidic
8/9/2019
Delicious! This coffee has multiple layers of complex flavors that my palate may be to inexperienced to fully describe. I definitely can taste the caramel and smokey flavors with an almost salted dark chocolate finish. In all I love it!!
7/24/2019
it wasn't my fav. coffee. Not my fav but not the worst I have had
7/19/2019
It didn’t have much flavor. I had to use a lot of grounds to get a strong, full-bodied cup.
7/18/2019
We liked this ok. Maybe something less smoky next time.
7/15/2019
Delicious!
7/9/2019
Quite bold, might be a bit too smoky for me but I have been enjoying it.
7/7/2019
Disappointed
7/3/2019
Did not like this one. Too nutty and a bit dry.
7/1/2019
This is a good coffee. Great aroma. Good flavor. I got the smoky and caramel notes. I'd like to try one that is more smooth, rich and with some chocolate notes.
7/1/2019
I really enjoyed this. I was concerned about it being to smoky but it wasn’t. It was a really well balanced cup or coffee.
7/1/2019
On the bad side, I tried twice and failed to make the coffee strong enough to suit my taste. On the positive, there was absolutely no bitterness. I drink my coffee black and was hoping for a bit more flavor.
6/27/2019
I loved it! Tasted great, lots of flavor.
6/25/2019
Flavor was too smoky for my taste. Almost has a burned aftertaste. Maybe this is just the character of a french roast.
6/25/2019
It was a great first cup.
6/24/2019
Thought the coffee was good but did not like the smoky taste
6/24/2019
Love it!
6/24/2019
While the coffee has a decent flavor if brewed using 2T per cup, it does not have an aroma. The coffee beans were dry. There was no aroma when I opened the bag or when I brewed a pot of the coffee. I had to throw out the first pot I brewed because I only used 1T per cup and it had no flavor at all. It's decent if made strong, but I wouldn't buy it. I like the smell of coffee brewing just as much as I enjoy drinking it.
6/22/2019
A little too smoky for my taste. But, overall, amazing texture, aroma, and flavor!
6/18/2019
good flavor, smooth, no strong after taste
6/16/2019
The aroma is great, but it's weak no matter how much I tweak my scoops. If I overcompensate it goes from weak to bitter. Maybe it was the grind, but I wasn't getting anything close to the description.
6/9/2019
Good, but very dark - tobacco-y
6/8/2019
Good dark roast. Very smooth.
5/31/2019
I like the rich, robust and deep flavors with the brew
5/30/2019
I thought that the coffee was smooth . It lacks the bold rich tones that I find most satisfying . It seemed to dance above if tongue
5/27/2019
It tasted OK. I felt like it lacked a full body flavor but definitely was bold like we usually like.
5/16/2019
I enjoyed this coffee selection. It was bold. I prefer a dark roast and this was perfect.
5/8/2019
Good- rich, chocolaty
4/28/2019
brewed with a weak taste. could not find any of the flavors mentioned on package. a disappointment.
4/26/2019
Love how rich and bold this coffee is!
3/26/2019
This one was a little too bold for our liking. The flavors of this one seemed very forward. Not as smooth as we would have liked.
2/25/2019
Not as big of fan of this one. Too much smoke for me, not enough nuance.
2/23/2019
It's a bit too mild for my taste.
2/20/2019
This coffee is really good. I could stop here and keep getting this coffee but that would be boring. It's heavy without being bitter and has that kick that I like in coffee. Definitely a good match. Good job.
2/9/2019
I liked it, but my wife didn't really like it.
2/9/2019
This coffee was much too strong for me. Too much of a bitter after taste. I would like to return and get the first coffee you sent out which was the Kickapoo
2/7/2019
pretty good, a little too smoky though.
9/22/2018
This coffee is a little too smoky for my personal taste. However, the smoky and Carmel combination are very pleasant and bring a little bit of a woodsy flavor to the brew on my french press. Delightful with a bit of sweet cream on a cold morning!
9/19/2018
Smokey, bold, smooth and delicious. This dark roast is made for sweatshirts and crisp Fall mornings. Bravo!
8/15/2018
Excellent taste; bold but not bitter
7/31/2018
Tasty, although their Double Dark Blend is my favorite of the two DCR blends so far.
5/7/2018
Favorite one so far.
4/5/2018

1/30/2018
Pretty impressive
1/14/2018
So much flavor, and none of the acidity of a typical strong coffee. Absolutely loved this one!
1/7/2018
Pretty much the perfect cup

Thin not strong or flavoriful, mediocre, no bite

Outstanding.
Dark enough without any burnt overtones.

I don’t like smoky flavors and would prefer something with some fruit flavor to it
12/10/2017
Brewed in Chemex. Wonderful bold aroma. Full bodied flavor that indeed has a tastes of smoke and I thought was more plum-like than carmelized sugar. With winter just setting in, these are excellent dark bold beans.
12/10/2017
Smooth and satisfying. Exactly my taste.
12/9/2017
Perfect but maybe a bit too bold. I think I'd enjoy something more nutty.
12/9/2017
Wonderful taste!
12/8/2017
Definitely more smokier, can't quite taste the caramel though. I prefer mind tonic
12/5/2017
Flavor was weak
12/2/2017
Very tasty, nice bold flavor. Caffeine burst hits quickly, from the first smell and sip. Definitely could pick up on the caramel notes. Would 100% order this blend again!!
11/29/2017
Too dark. Might be better for an espresso but I didn't like it for a pourover.
11/27/2017
I am a rookie at this so bare with me.
I enjoyed how clean the coffee taste. There was no lingering after taste. It had a full coffee taste which I liked. I drank it black after a coarse grind and through a French press.
I think I would enjoy slightly bolder and darker.

11/24/2017
I felt this was too strong for me. Friends loved it, but wasn't my favorite.
11/21/2017
I like extra bold flavor, but I'm not a big fan of caramel flavor.
11/18/2017
Good and dark but would like to try some other "bold" coffees that aren't French roasts. Sorry, not a refined palate to give better descriptions.
11/11/2017
It taste so fresh it is amazing! We really like the bold flavor of it and how fresh it taste.
10/31/2017
Love how smooth this coffee is. It's full in taste yet quite light in how it feels once you take a sip.
10/30/2017
Decent dark roast with bold flavors.
10/29/2017
I like dark full body coffees and this coffee met my expectations.
10/28/2017
Nice balance and flavor. Would like to try another coffee that is a little more bold.
10/28/2017
Super rich but mellow. A bit on the over-roasted side (for my tastes). I always have a hard time with French Roasts going too bitter or smoky. And there's a bit of that with this one. But I'd buy it again.
10/23/2017
Has a good balance. Not overpowering for first thing in the AM and translates well to late morning on days off. Medium smoke and roastiness. Best enjoyed from the French press!
10/23/2017
Love this strong bold coffee.
10/22/2017
Liked the rich dark flavor...
10/18/2017
Sooooo gooooooooooooood
10/17/2017
I really enjoyed this as my first
10/14/2017
Enjoyed this blend more than the first (Atomic). Like the dark rich color of the bean. Have me more of the bold taste I enjoy. Added cinnamon sticks when grinding which gave it even more flavor. Thank you.
10/13/2017
Enjoying the strong classic French roast.
10/13/2017
This makes an awesome pourover. Love the mouthfeel and finish!
10/9/2017
Excellent dark roast.
10/8/2017
Very good coffee. I wish it was just a little stronger however.
10/6/2017
Excellent blend. Bold and robust. Loved it.
10/2/2017
I like that I can taste sweet and savory in one sip. I like the smoky, nutty flavors.
10/1/2017
I think this is too bold and smoky for me. I like lots of flavor but not this way-something more fruity/floral. This coffee tasted a bit flavorless in that regard and almost burnt
9/26/2017
I really liked the richness this coffee had but it still isn’t quite as strong as I would like it to be without basically turning it into sludge by using more grounds.
9/24/2017
Loved it
9/23/2017
This tastes burned as if it was made on a drip machine and just sat on one of those heated pots at a gas station for an entire day. I do not like it at all. Note that the coffee likely isn't bad, just that this is such a dark roast that to me it is does not have an appealing taste. I've had three cups over two days and don't think I will drink any more.
9/18/2017
Spicy,but smooth. Heavy body vanilla,velvety aftertaste. Late night company if you dare.
9/15/2017
Not the biggest fan of the smokiness.
9/14/2017
Bice rich experience. Bold but smooth.
9/11/2017
Did not get the aroma I was looking for in a good, freshly roasted bean and it translated into a good cup of coffee that didn't inspire.
9/7/2017
Excellent taste, very fresh!
9/5/2017
This was a really good cup of coffee, but I preferred the richness of my previous Brazilian Cocarive better
9/1/2017
Smooth and easy to drink...but not full of flavor. It seems like a good medium blend but did not have a lot of the strong notes that I prefer. Did not really taste the smoky or bold flavor...looking for something a little more robust. Not a huge fan of french roasts.
8/31/2017
This coffee was delicious. Definitely would love to have this one again sometime!! Got the caramelized sugar notes not so much the smokiness but I thoroughly enjoyed this one!!
8/31/2017
This coffee was wonderful. It is so smoky and roasty. Perfect to wake you up in the morning. I enjoyed the strong taste. It's too bold to make iced coffee out of, but for drinking hot it is pretty much perfect.
8/31/2017
Seemed like it would take a lot of grounds per pot to get a full flavor out of it. Smelled good, but drinking it felt quite flat, and if the brewing instructions on the bag are to be believed, the flavor is not matching with our palette.
8/29/2017
Smooth but I like even more flavor
8/29/2017
Hey Seth,
Enjoyed this cup, it was definitely on the darker end, French roasts are typically not my favorite, they can veer towards tasting a little burnt to me, but this one was quite enjoyable. Good job!

8/29/2017
maybe a little less bold on next one? can't tell if is the boldness or smokyness that i am not exactly thrilled with?
8/28/2017
Really liked the smokiness.
8/27/2017
The only flavor that I pulled out of the coffee was the smokiness. It was just a bit too bitter and harsh for my liking.
8/27/2017
Hate it! Too pungent.
8/26/2017
Overall good, but not a standout.
8/23/2017
Bold, full-bodied flavor, great for a first morning cup.
8/21/2017
Good flavor that's stable and perfect for mornings. What I expect in a good breakfast place. Didn't wow me, but overall a good coffee.
8/20/2017
So I really liked the fact that this was a true dark, bold roast - I've been sampling lots of different coffees in lieu of my normal Peet's and so many of the "darK" or "rich" roasts taste really thin or pallid to me. (I'm particularly disappointed when I'm promised "fudgy" and I get a wan brew!) So I like the "robustness" of this coffee. But I find that like most French roasts that I've tried it has a bit of - not sure of what the exact coffee aficionado terminology is here - bitterness? Acidity? Sharpness? Bite? Which I find to be true with the Peet's French roast too, which unlike the Dillard's, just takes burnt to me. Bottom line: while I'm enjoying this it wouldn't replace my normal Major Dickinson's or Sumatra.
8/20/2017
Strong flavors and intense aroma.
8/19/2017
An excellent example of a superior dark roast! For those who prefer "the dark side," I recommend you try it.
8/18/2017
Too dark and oily for my taste. Smoke is not a flavor I particularly enjoy in a cup of coffee.
8/17/2017
I liked this coffee. It does have a smooth taste and good flavors. I do taste the caramel hints.
8/16/2017
I didn't think it was overly bold. It's a good cup of coffee, didn't blow my socks off but good coffee. I tasted the caramel more than other notes.
8/14/2017
Not a big fan of French Roast; wouldn't choose it again, but it was the best French Roast I have ever had. Maybe a blend?
8/14/2017
The Metro French Roast Blend is absolutely delicious. No bitterness, just great flavors. Wonderful coffee! I ordered more direct from their website. Thanks for the introduction to this delicious blend!
8/13/2017
I love how strong this coffee is!
8/12/2017
I really liked this one! The French Roast is obviously my taste choice. Today I also tried the third you sent (Tony's Coffee) which also was good, but the Metro would be my pick of the two. If I asked what is the "boldest" French/Dark Roast you offer what would be your opinion? All your coffees are excellent, so this is really in the "opinion" realm.
8/5/2017
excellent brew, smooth, no bitterness, incredible aroma when i opened the box and this morning when i opened the bag. Delicious :)
8/5/2017
Now that I've had it a while, it's just okay. Not my favorite. Switched back to a wake The Fuck Up hazelnut
8/5/2017
I am very pleased with this coffee. I like the strong flavors I can taste in it. It does not have the bitter taste i have experienced with other strong coffees.
8/3/2017
nice oily beans, good color, great flavor
8/1/2017
I didn't think this blend had much flavor at all. I even used way more than recommended the second time and didn't notice a difference.
7/30/2017
Not as much of a strong and bold flavor as I'd like it to be
7/28/2017
Nice smooth flavor. Not bitter. Very much enjoyed this coffee.
7/24/2017
Very good French Roast. Tastes as advertised.
7/22/2017
I thought it was great!
7/22/2017
This coffee has a great roasted flavor without tasting burned or like ash. It is also not tangy, which is something we tend not to like about lighter roasts. For us, this tastes like coffee is supposed to taste :)
7/22/2017
Brewed with a Chemex. Definitely up my alley. Easy to identify the smoky notes.
7/21/2017
Ok Coffee, but found the flavor to be a little shallow. Lacked depth and complexity.
7/17/2017
Really poor coffee. No flavor, no excitement. Not a good coffee to send out to develop customers
7/16/2017
Thank you we loved the flavor! Can't wait to taste what's next!!
7/15/2017
It was good but tasted quite regular and uninspiring
7/15/2017
Bitter, would not order again
7/15/2017
Had my first two cups this morning. VERY good.
7/14/2017
Very Aromatic and smoky. Great dark coffee. Personally don't like the bitter caramel taste but love the smokiness of this coffee.
7/14/2017
When you open the bag, there is very little coffee aroma. The coffee is smooth and not acidic, but definitely not bold nor smoky. The caramel barely comes through.
7/12/2017
very smooth.
7/12/2017
It is bold, which is great, but has a lingering taste that I could do without.
7/11/2017
I used a conical burr grinder and a french press to make this coffee. It was good with notes of smoke and chocolate, almost the caramelized sugar described, but was not very complex. The two flavors were good and strong but left me wanting something to softly finish at the end and round it out. Overall a good coffee that would go great with a rich dessert and is good on a cold morning with a cigar.
7/6/2017
Not the biggest dark roast fan!
7/3/2017
Tasted great, not as strong as I expected, but it was still smooth, had the caramel taste, and is great black!
7/2/2017
This coffee really hits the sweet spot of what I love about dark coffee. If I manage to do it right, it's smokey with some kind of sweet chocolate or caramel woven in. A very pleasant full flavor where you can sit and ponder it while you sip.
7/2/2017
Hi Seth,
The Metro French Roast is the clear winner when comparing the coffees we've been sent. Please keep that in mind for our futures shipments. The previous coffees were a little too weak for our taste.
Thanks and we look forward to our next beans from you!

Great flavor
6/29/2017
No bitterness whatsoever. The flavor was complex and I could actually identify the smoky flavor. It was bold but don't be afraid to go even bolder!
6/28/2017
Nothing particularly exceptional about this coffee.
6/27/2017
Good blend. Even my wife, who is quick picky, liked it. I like a coffee that tastes like coffee. This works.
6/27/2017
This coffee was a little to dark bold and smokey for me.
6/26/2017
found the aroma very inviting, the taste was lacking however. did not get the smoky, caramel or bold flavor when drinking.
6/26/2017
A little too dark of a roast for my taste. I preferred the Smooth Operator from Brazil Cocarive Co-Op much more.
6/25/2017
Excellent taste and aroma! Bold cup of coffee!
6/24/2017
Nice and smooth, good flavors. Love a good dark roast that doesn't taste burnt.
6/22/2017
Does not seem bold to me
6/22/2017
Found it a bit light, I like my coffee stronger.
6/20/2017
Fantastic smell, taste & freshness knocked this one out of the ballpark!!!
6/19/2017
Produced a good cup via pour over and paper filter (didn't care for it with a metal filter). Fantastically bold is certainly applicable; honestly the smokey bitterness overwhelmed the more subtle caramel notes until I went to an extreme with a more course grind and cooler slurry temps. After dialing things in, I definitely agree with the notes of caramelized sugar; it's distinctly unique. Overall, I enjoyed the coffee, but likely won't serve this to guests with less adventurous tastes.
6/16/2017
Not dark enough for my taste. Sort of flavorless compared to what I'm used to.
6/13/2017
Bold but smooth
6/10/2017
It's just ok not my favorite.
6/9/2017
I love this blend! Can't wait to try the next one!

Absolutely delicious! I loved everything about this coffee. It was dark, but not too dark, and there was no burnt taste that some dark roast coffees have. Very deep flavor as well. It makes the perfect morning cup of coffee. All in all very plrased with this particular blend
5/14/2017
smokiness seems to overshadow reported carmel notes. This blend is smooth, no bitterness and mild overall flavor. We drink it black
5/7/2017
I really liked the bold flavor and smooth finish of this one!
5/6/2017
Very smooth, however not as bold or rich as I had hoped.
5/5/2017
One of the best roasts that I've had.
4/26/2017
Really enjoyed this one!
4/2/2017
Good coffee but a bit too mild for my taste
4/2/2017
had too much smoke to it - almost a burnt flavor which lingered after.
3/23/2017
Love Dillanos Metro French Roast Blend! I knew I would when I opened the bag! It smelled so fabulous! The beans grounded so quickly! Is that due to its freshness or the type of bean? Just curious. I love the boldness and smokiness flavors! Great job! Love it!
3/23/2017
Really good but I like more of a punch in the mouth when it comes to flavor from a dark roast.
3/20/2017
Tasty enough. Not as bold as I would have liked and maybe almost too oily.
3/18/2017
This was fine, not my favorite thing ever but I don't know why? Sorry - I don't really have an articulated palate yet!
3/15/2017
Really good blend. Works well as a regular and cold brew. Strong taste with no lingering aftertaste, which I like.
3/13/2017
Love it
3/7/2017
Disappointed. Perhaps the hype, but coffee did not seem "robust". maybe even "old"
2/19/2017
This was a better brew than the previous. I have learned to drink without additives giving me a better understanding of the flavors I prefer.
2/15/2017
This coffee was right on point with the flavor profile that we typically enjoy. The dark, strong beans and the caramel notes are something we really like in our coffee.
2/7/2017
i liked this better than my first one. it was bolder. the first was too weak. this one is good but may be a bit too smokey
2/7/2017
Good all around, but could go a bit stronger.
2/3/2017
too dark and bitter, felt like it didn't have any flavor
2/1/2017
I really enjoyed this blend. Not bitter or acidic ; bold but not too strong. It's creamy and a little sweet and I could definitely detect a little of the caramel.
1/30/2017
I love how bold and rich this coffee is! I gave it 4 as opposed to 5 stars only because there was something very unique about the Blue Heeler coffee which I felt like I was comparing it against.
1/29/2017
Very good French roast. Still slightly a little too oily though. I felt the need to blend it some more for more balance.
1/29/2017
Really great a little bit to much roast for my taste
1/29/2017
Strong, bold taste, a little sour. Earthy flavor. Very good french roast, personally interested in a stronger non-artifical flavor.
1/25/2017
Very dark and bold, needed to assist the amount of coffee we use because it was overwhelming.
1/24/2017
Very bold classic French Roast. Oily and dark and robust. Only brewed this up in the Clever so far but intend to run it through the Aeropress as well as a drip machine to see how it goes.
1/24/2017
Loved the dark flavor and smooth mouthfeel.
1/23/2017
Such a pleasant surprise as my first entry into Mistobox. This was a wonderfully strong and rich blend..
1/23/2017
This blend was a bit too bold for my tastes. The density reminds me of bottom of the pot coffee :(.
1/18/2017
Very bold, very nice on a cold winter morning in Wisconsin!
1/17/2017
Rich and robust, but still has character and subtlety. Just like I like it!
1/17/2017
Very little flavor, basically tasted like water, we even made less cups and made it stronger, to no avail.
1/13/2017
Much better! Slightly lighter in color, somewhat less robust, than what we would consider ideal. But, excellent nonetheless. Thanks!
1/11/2017
Very good first choice. Looking forward to the second shipment.
1/11/2017
I enjoyed this coffee, but didn't feel like it was bold enough for me. Is that just crazy? It does taste very fresh and wakes me up, but I feel I need to make sure I put in extra beans to really get a full flavor. Thank you for taking the time to choose though!
1/10/2017
Flavor is nice but when using with my Keurig it tastes weaker than I prefer. I have the Keurig pod to use coffee grounds instead of store bought pods and use it with the medium size cup brew.
1/10/2017
Enjoyed Dillanos very much. Strong and bold but no bitter or burnt notes like starbukcs coffee tend to have.
1/9/2017
This coffee has a unique flavor that I did enjoy although it was a bit lighter than I expected.
1/9/2017
love how bold it was. just like its description it had that "robust" feel and taste! Love this process, loved this coffee!
1/3/2017
Great!
1/2/2017
It was average
12/30/2016
French roast is a solid bold coffee but not overly exciting. A good standard cup.
12/27/2016
Loved it! Strong bold flavor that had a lot of body without any bitter aftertaste. Loved the smokey caramel notes. On point mistobox. Thank you! Can't wait for the next one!!!
12/17/2016
Very nice. Smooth. Not the darkest thing I've had. Looking forward to drinking more.
12/12/2016
This was very goood and made us like the blends. Great choice.
12/5/2016
Robust describes this coffee. Enjoying every cup
11/18/2016
This was really good! Thank you
11/8/2016
Robust dark aromas and a good balance of sweet fruit up front and a bitter back end. A great blend for a medium-bodied cup.
10/30/2016
Not exciting :(
10/28/2016
Love this coffee. Strong robust flavor without any of that bitter or acid-y aftertaste you sometimes get with strong coffee. I highly recommend this coffee to myself.
Just a little bit of stAtic
Just a little bit of stAtic
10/24/2016
Found the French toast to be a bit light for my taste.
I prefer a fuller bodied coffee
I prefer a fuller bodied coffee
10/19/2016
It's ok but not as good as their Double Dark Blend
10/14/2016
Bold and flavorful. I taste dark chocolate followed by smoky richness. Great way to start the day.
10/12/2016
I've enjoyed this coffee, probably my favorite of the Dillanos so far.
9/26/2016
Better than the Cafe Kaldi, worse than the Atomic Blend. Not acidic or sour. But smelled burnt. Tasted sooty. Had a bit of the flavor of ash. The color of the bean had a nice darkness.
9/19/2016
The Metro blend was my second favorite roast so far (after the Corsica blend). It wasn't acidic at all, which was great, and very roasty. The beans were about the same color of coffees that I usually like. I enjoyed the super dark roast, but I might like something with just a tiny bit fuller body/more nuttiness and sweetness. But this is roast is great!
9/11/2016
Very good at .6 gms, bold and not sour
9/11/2016
I liked this one. Seemed a little more mellow at first, although a little more bitter than what I'm used to. Had a nice finish.
9/4/2016
Full-bodied, dark, no acidity - everything I love in a cup of coffee!
9/3/2016
It's good, but it depends on how it's brewed. When used for espresso, it's very robust and flavorful. But when used with my Kuerig in a single cup pod, I found it to be pretty weak. I'm hoping to find a blend that can be used for both machines. Tomorrow I'll try adjusting the coarseness of the blend to see if that helps.
8/27/2016
An excellent coffee no matter how you brew it. Drip, french press, or perculator. It was a nice dark roast without being bitter. Lovely coffee.
8/23/2016
Absolutely love this coffee! Very dark and rich, smoky without any bitterness. I usually drink my coffee black but sometimes add a bit of heavy cream; this coffee is delicious either way.
8/22/2016
the description on bag is accurate, though I added more ground beans to my drip coffee maker.
8/8/2016
Bold but not bitter, somedays it seems complex, other days straightforward. Allergies make the difference, I'm sure. But a very pleasant experience. Enjoying a pot right now.
8/4/2016
exactly what we HATE in a coffee. perhaps time to stop this silliness and go back to trying to find a coffee here locally.
7/31/2016
Somewhat bitter
6/13/2016
Loved this one! Kept smelling it in the kitchen through the sealed bag! Dark, bold and rich, this was a great choice!
6/4/2016
Excellent coffee!!! What an awesome choice to start my subscription with! It is bold and robust....just the way I like it. Definitely a favorite.
5/30/2016
Perfect! This is everything I was ultimately hoping for. Full body, bold, and full of flavor. For the next shipment, something similar to this. I would even take another of this one!
3/19/2016
I enjoyed this blend. Usually I shy away from a French Roast because some tend to be really over roasted and have a distasteful smoky taste. However, this blend was well balanced and light on acidity.
3/17/2016
Now this is a fantastic cup of coffee. Dark, smokey, bold. Absolutely delicious.
3/12/2016
Too much bold, not enough flavors
2/13/2016
I really like it! It's so smooth and bold, and the aroma is wonderful.
2/12/2016
Excellent. Ground up beautifully as well.
2/5/2016
Excellent flavor, full body, delicious!
1/31/2016
Taste is good and smooth - nothing too powerful, but still tasty and smooth. Aroma is a little strange, but flavor is good.
1/29/2016
As far as French Roast go, this has it all! Every sip is a delicious coffee party!
1/21/2016
Brewed well in the Chemex. Initially a thought of "bitter" to our untrained palette, though we eventually decided that was the strength of the coffee. Question: I think we asked for medium roast, but this was a bold?
1/18/2016
Smoky, grassy, has a burnt toast taste (in an enjoyable way)
1/17/2016
Tasted really, Great strong flavor
1/10/2016
It's good, but it wasn't anything special. I don't know that I've ever had a distinctively interesting French Roast. Not sure that we'll buy it, but we enjoyed the opportunity to try it.
1/9/2016
A good French Roast. French Roasts are not my favorite but this one may be something I come back to from time to time. Brewed with Toddy
1/9/2016
It is a great cup of coffee! Very bold and flavorfull
12/29/2015
Everything as promised. A full flavor, non bitter satisfying cup. Great throughout the day. Loved it! I'm sure this will be one I keep in my repertoire Great first choice from Seth.
12/22/2015
The description nailed it. Was great for the french press and delivered a bold but never overbearing, fully flavorful cup each time. Very, very happy.
12/15/2015
As advertised. Yummy.
12/13/2015
very dark, a nice french roast, a little less acidic than other french roasts, really like the faint sweet flavors coming through
12/6/2015
Nothing against the beans, but not a fan of French Roast
12/4/2015
Nice and robust. Very dark roast.
12/2/2015
A nice french roast. I would give it 5 stars if it was a little darker and bolder.
11/23/2015
The flavor of this coffee isn't bad. But I really don't taste a strong coffee like it says. It's not very bold flavor in my opinion. And it also makes my stomach upset. Not something I would like again.
11/16/2015
Dark and full bodied. Very tasty!
11/16/2015
This, along with the buena vista dark roast were my favorites in this badge
11/10/2015
It's a hit! Smooth, dark, rich, but not overpowering.
11/10/2015
This is really close to what I consider to be a good cup of coffee. Really enjoyed the smoky boldness throughout the entirety of the drink. It worked well as an espresso shot, off the drip cone, and the French press and the taste was versatile enough to translate across all three.
11/10/2015
Very strong and bitter
11/8/2015
This is the one that I've been waiting for- the one that made me go "WOW!" It makes a perfect cup for me!!!
11/5/2015
love it
11/5/2015
Metro blend: Nutty (pistachio?!). Dark and bitter but in a good way. Smooth. My second favourite among these four.
11/2/2015
While obviously a quality coffee, I am not a fan of the taste and would prefer to not receive anything like this in the future.
11/2/2015
Excellent roast. Smooth, dark and rich. Definitely buying a full bag of this!
11/2/2015
Bold flavor was just right.
10/29/2015
An amazing coffee...possibly the best cup of coffee I have ever tasted. The smooth but bold flavor is a great way to wake up in the morning and the smokiness of it makes it almost perfect. Love it!!!!!
10/29/2015
Definitely a good balanced blend, will enjoy every cup. However, it lacked character. Seemed kinda plain and lacked great strong bold flavors that I was hoping for.
10/29/2015
Very nice, bold flavor.
10/27/2015
although i rarely drink french/italian roast where the beans start to get oily, i did enjoy this. flavor wise, it was what you'd expect in a french. good enough to drink black but not as full of character as my go-to african types
10/20/2015
Good French roast, but still looking for the best. The aroma is strong, but heavenly! And that's the way I love it! Blend is good, but the taste doesn't linger on your tastebuds. I would like it to linger longer. But I enjoyed my cup nonetheless. Still looking....
10/20/2015
measure appropriately with this one, it is bold! 4.5 stars.
10/10/2015
I really liked this cup! Dark and smooth.
10/6/2015
I like the nutty-ness of this coffee. It's a good, solid coffee for French Press. I'm missing a little earthiness that would bring it over the top.
10/5/2015
Good, strong flavor and not acidic. But it's a little overbearing and lingers a little longer than we'd like.
10/2/2015
Awesome
9/26/2015
I like that this coffee is strong, it was a little too robust and smokey for me to give it 5 stars, but I still enjoyed it and it was very smooth. This would be amazing brewed over a campfire for sure.
9/24/2015
very nice but still looking
8/19/2015
Some of the best coffee I have ever tasted! As soon as I brewed my first batch my coworkers were asking "what coffee is THAT"!?!?!
8/13/2015
Super bold...hearty bit with a woodsy aftertaste. Great blend
8/10/2015
Good Flavor but lacks Character. Brewed with AeroPress (Inverted Method) using a Fine Grind (Burr Grinder).
8/9/2015
nice full bodied coffee
8/8/2015
A bit too smokey for me. It felt like I was drinking a campfire at times! As I got more used to it, I enjoyed it more. Still, it's not one I'd like again.
8/4/2015
Bitter with a chemical after taste
8/2/2015
Loved the flavor as it hit the palette but it seemed to dissipate quickly which led me to drink it a lot faster than normal.
7/28/2015
I really like it, but don't love it. It smells AMAZING, but the taste doesn't come across as amazing/strong as it smells.
7/22/2015
Definitely get the "intense campfire aroma" which spills over to the taste. Too smoky for our taste. Yes, robust...but not the way we prefer it.
7/21/2015
Great aroma! A strong roast, slightly weak, lacking in acidity. Overall, delicious and pleasant.
7/19/2015
We really enjoyed this coffee.
6/15/2015
These beans had an almost smoky scent when I opened the bag. The dark, oily beans brewed dark brown and made the house smell amazing. The flavor was rich and complex with a roasty finish that lingers in your mouth. This was my favorite blend of the four in my May box.
5/29/2015
Good, but ultimately finished a bit too smoky for my liking,.
5/25/2015
Very oily beans. Wonderful scent. A strong cup with subtle flavors.
5/21/2015
It was a strong flavor coffee with the dark roast. I like dark roast as a full city roast versus a french roast.
4/25/2015
Perfect flavors for me.
4/22/2015
Strong and bold coffee that went well with my French Press method and made pretty good ice coffee. However the coffee had a strong aftertaste of ash or smoke which I didn't like very much.
2/9/2015
