Marcie
Horrible, over-roasted, dark sludge. Undrinkable!
7/17/2021

Corey
Over-roasted; all roast no bean. I like dark roast but this one is practically cremated. It's fine in a French press but anything finer is pretty acrid. Would prefer something with a bit more nuance in the future.
5/30/2021

Nick
classic
3/30/2021

Edward
Not all that great...really nothing special about this roast.

Super rich, extra oily beans. Nice smooth dark taste.
3/24/2021

It was so oily, I had a hard time calibrating for my espressos, and finally blended it with a medium roast to get it close.

Extremely dark. Would prefer a bit lighter, more standard coffee taste.
2/6/2019

Christina
Can you please send this one again? This one was so very good!
1/24/2019

Jason
Not good. It was wet somehow? It clogged our grinder from the moisture or oil or whatever made it wet. Also flavor was meh.
1/23/2019

Victor
A little too dark
1/20/2019

Berry
enjoyed this one... like the boldness / richness (though I like even more!) and low acidity.
12/21/2018

Nichole
Oily and hard to get grind right to get espresso.
12/13/2018

Alyssa
Not my favorite. Tasted burnt most of the time, too much bite for my liking, not terribly smooth or robust. Smells great, doesn't taste that way.
11/26/2018

Katy
I rarely give 5 stars but this coffee is wonderful. Bold smooth with definite chocolate overtones. No bitter taste at all and it is definitely for the person who likes a dark roast. It is slightly smoky as described but not too much. Perfect Morning Brew! I used a percolator.
11/21/2018

Tiffany
LOVE French roast coffee and Colectivo did great with this one. The balance of bold, smoky flavors with the chocolate hints gave you a full bodied cup of coffee that you never want to end!
11/14/2018

Katharine
It's good but not as good as the first one.
11/4/2018

Molly
This bean was so oily that it clogged our espresso machine several times. Not fun.
10/27/2018

Alan
A bit much on its own, but goes really well with some french vanilla creamer
10/21/2018

John
Way too bitter and roasted flavor. Did not enjoy on it's own nor as a latte.
10/8/2018

Paul
Wonderful rich coffee, very nice in a drip and makes a great cup through a pressure system DeLonghi.
10/7/2018

Margaret
Love the flavor. Huge fan of this brand.
9/29/2018

Beth
This one was really good. Would have it again.
9/19/2018

Kristin
The roast was perfect, but I wasn't a huge fan of the dark chocolate notes. Also, I got this coffee two shipments in a row for some reason :/

Justin
A bit too dark and bitter
5/4/2018

daniel
Nice and Dark
5/3/2018

Peter
Delicious dark roast, but not overbearing as some French Roasts tend to be. Hints of light earthiness and smokiness come through and contribute to the full mouth feel. Enjoyed this one the most so far.
4/19/2018

Jennifer
My Husband does not like this one. He feels it is harsh and bitter.
4/18/2018

Shawn
Very unique super dark roast but still super oily. I loved it!
4/7/2018

Matthew
Too much like a Starbucks dark roast. I get the dark chocolate, but it was almost a bit too dark for my tastes.
4/2/2018

Roger
Did not like this one please remove. Has a fishy odor.
4/2/2018

Brian
A solid dark roast.
3/24/2018

Great flavor and very smooth. Makes a great cup to wake you up in the morning if you like dark roasts!
1/16/2018

Matthew
Amazing.
1/16/2018

Emil
Did not like this one at all. Took forever to dial in and the flavor profile was overpoweringly 'nyquil-like'.
1/11/2018

Andrew
Great cup of bold, low aciditiy. Definitely one of the better coffees from Mistobox
12/28/2017

David
A very dark and bold French Roast. Nice aroma as soon as you open the bag. Dark and oily beans; easy grinding. I enjoyed the flavor, but it's just a little too close to the the extreme of dark roasts, and a bit bitter..
12/25/2017

Tony
A little to dark and powerful for my taste but really strong and excellently made.
12/20/2017

Corina
Very bold and dark roast. Love it
12/15/2017

Renee
not a big fan of smoky..
12/14/2017

Todd
This was ok coffee, but why did you guys send me the exact same stuff twice in a row? I thought the whole point of this service was to get variety?
12/12/2017

Bradley
Very bold but also smokey. A little too smokey for my tastes but did have a nice rich dark flavor.
11/25/2017

Jason and Chelsea
Loved, and would definitely like to have it again!
11/17/2017

Troy
The smokiness and chocolate notes are incredible.
10/11/2017

Stephen
Little too sharp and dark
10/11/2017

Stephanie
At first I thought this was too dark and roasty, but now I have decided that I really like it. It really packs a punch. It is dark, ...you almost think it is too dark but it tastes delicious. Another plus is that it makes a great iced or cold coffee. It's almost bitter - almost too bitter. I think Dillano's French Roast Blend might be a little better than this, but I am not complaining and I am giving this five stars. Will wake you up!
10/8/2017

Lori
Good coffee. Not quite as good as the first order, but good.
10/5/2017

Michael
Not my favorite Colectivo Coffee but still good. Def can taste the smoky and chocolate, but I wouldn't call this one very bold.
9/25/2017

Nathan
Definitely taste the smokiness and chocolate and like the boldness
8/24/2017

James
Lot's of bold flavor, rich and satisfying.
8/24/2017

George
It's a great coffee, one of my favorite's. I'd appreciate something slightly sweeter next time
8/9/2017

Paul
Well Seth, as I indicated earlier, I do like this coffee. After trying it for several days however, I believe that I like the Dillano's better. It is difficult for me to apply the adjectives you suggested. I just can tell whether I like it or not, and which one I like more. I wouldn't know where to begin with the nuances. It's kinda like wine... some people go crazy with the description, I can just tell you if I like it or not.
8/2/2017

Peggy
Very yummy!!!! Keep up the good work!
7/26/2017

Sara
My favorite yet. A true dark roast, rich, smooth and bold.
7/22/2017

Mary
This is my style of coffee - the beautiful oily beans grind down to that rich chocolatey bitter deliciousness I seek for my one and only (albeit 20 oz) cuppa each morning
6/27/2017

Kevin
Smoky, bold, intense. A great French roast!
6/25/2017

Deborah and Haas
I think this is our favorite so far. It is rich, flavorful and holds that flavor like crazy! We may have to do this one again, and again!
6/23/2017

Victoria
Over roasted
6/21/2017

Amber
This was exceptionally good. I haven't had french roasts for a while, but this one reminded me how much I like them. And the smoky notes were perfect.
6/7/2017

Dustin
Really liked this coffee. Had a bold flavor with an oiliness to it that I really enjoyed.
6/6/2017

Janine
I love this coffee! It's the perfect level of darkness. And I love the combination of flavors.
6/4/2017

Robert
I enjoyed the rich flavor and smooth taste of this roast.
5/28/2017

Paul
The chocolate aroma and flavor is definitely apparent. I like this even more than Dillanos Special Dark Blend. The beans are darker for this roast, and closer to what I usually like to use with my semiautomatic espresso machine. I am very sensitive to "burnt" tasting beans and I would say that this coffee does not taste burnt at all but is instead on the roasty end of the spectrum. This coffee is also slightly more bitter than acidic (which is what I prefer) but is really pretty neutral, I would say. Lastly this coffee produced a really nice, golden crema, which I always strive to achieve.
5/22/2017

Mary
I like the bold rich flavor of this coffee. It is a bit stronger than what I typically brew but it was a good different. Not something I would want all the time but it was a nice change.
5/22/2017

Dana
the flavor is mostly at the end and it feels flat. I'm feeling​ like i want something more round. Perhaps it is my grind
5/20/2017

Travis
This coffee is really good.if possible I'd love something with a little less smoke flavor.mabey a more nutty flavor.thanks for doing such a great job.really enjoying this service.
5/6/2017

James
This coffee is okay, but the smokiness is pronounced and I have found (after several "smoky" blends) that I'm not that fond of smokiness. I'd like to try more medium blends without this trait to see how they compare.
5/2/2017

Payman
weak and light
4/26/2017

Savannah
These beans make a great cup of coffee. The smell is intoxicating.
4/22/2017

Marisa
I guess it's the smokiness I don't like? It tastes almost burnt and very bitter. I like dark roasts, but I want the chocolate and caramel undertones, not smoky ones.
4/21/2017

Brian
Much better. Thanks. Good strength. A bit more smoke and sweetness will get us the goal of competing with Starbucks Espresso roast.
4/20/2017

Morgan
The beans looked to be too dark for me but I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor.
4/19/2017

Zachary
Solid Dark Roast. Could've used a bit more sweetness.
4/16/2017

Gordon
A little too sharp for my taste.
4/15/2017

Brian
This is definitely a great bold coffee. Starting with the presentation of the packaging, the dark aromatic freshness of the beans, and the bold, robust + rich flavor => this coffee is outstanding!!!!!! Wish it would have been a double shipment!!!!!
4/6/2017

Adam
Very good dark and smokey as a french roast should be.
4/5/2017

Melissa
This was the perfect match! Thank you!
4/5/2017

Joe
So smooth. Loved it
3/31/2017

Andrew
A little burnt tasting. Probably my least favorite of the coffees so far.
3/21/2017

Aileen
Wow you really nailed this one! It has that bold, smoky coffee taste that I love! I will definitely be buying this in the future!
3/14/2017

Eric
Here's the headline I use to describe the day I received the Velo.
"French, Dark, Bicycle on cover (except in the above thumbnail), Life changed, Morning Enhanced!"

I'm pretty sure I chuckled out loud as my tear ducts moistened a little at the magic of receiving this perfectly curated bag of coffee. Thank you Mistobox and Samantha.
3/9/2017

Estefania
This coffee was better than the last but not quite 4 stars. The dark roast is good. The color of the bean is a little darker than the coffees I normally buy, but I don't know if that's a bad thing. It tastes more acidic than sour, which *I think* is a good thing. It didn't taste too bitter. I don't think I'm a fan of the smokiness of this coffee. Also, like I said before, I tend to avoid chocolate notes. I think I prefer something sweeter than this. One of my favorite coffees is the Starbucks Espresso Roast which has notes of caramel. Note that I don't mean sweet in the conventional way. I like my coffee dark with a touch of sweetness. I hope this makes sense - I still have a really hard time describing coffee.
3/8/2017

Matthew
Mostly uninspiring and bland. We're having to put 1.5 x the beans in the cup for it to taste as much, so slightly confused by the description saying "rewarding those who want a little boldness in their lives!"
3/5/2017

Dave
Bold yet balanced. The best so far. Slight dark chocolate accompanies a solid backbone with a beautiful silky finish. Delicious!
3/5/2017

Larry
Not a big fan of French Roast
3/4/2017

Sylvester
I gave it many tries, but the scent of the beans are off-putting from the bag and even more so after the mill. The flavor is far less enjoyable than anything I have gotten from Mistobox thus far. I want to send it back.
3/1/2017

Brian and Barbara
Drip - too bitter, acidic
Cappuccino - still bitter
Espresso - bitter
This coffee has an excellent top notch look and smell, but surprising bitter in all forms...If you prefer bitter, you will like this
2/27/2017

Jeff
A very nice quality brew, but a bit darker than we would be interested in
2/20/2017

Mike
This was definitely dark and smooth. It had a nutty smell to it as well.
2/20/2017

Doug and Joyce
Delicious, rich, and fragrant
2/14/2017

Rachel
The Velo French Roast was new to me, so I was excited to give it a shot. Upon opening the bag, I smelled notes of smoke, black pepper and dark cocoa. These obsidian-black, oily beans brewed into a rich, smooth and well-balanced cup I couldn't stop enjoying. On a foggy or rainy day, you can count on Velo to clear the cobwebs out of your head and help you start your day right.
2/12/2017

Danny
Great flavor, no sour taste, and very smooth!
