Katherine
It's a little too fruity/citrusy for me.
8/15/2022

Kenneth
A bit acidic and has too much of a tang for me. It's good, but not my preference.
8/11/2022

Oliver
Pleasant, but underwhelming. Flavour profile was pleasant enough where present/noticeable, but overall too subtle to make this coffee stand out. Not especially aromatic, either. On reflection, uninspiring might perhaps be more appropriate than underwhelming.
8/7/2022

Kyle
This coffee is pleasant and drinkable but nothing out of the ordinary. I'm definitely getting the notes of cocoa and toasted nuts but the citrus was subtle enough to elude my palate. A good first selection but I'm looking forward to something a bit more unique/eccentric in future orders.
8/6/2022

Ryan
Lots of chocolate notes. It's a nice sweet option.
8/3/2022

Kyle
Liking this one, very smooth!
7/31/2022

nolan
It was okay, couldn't pull out the fruitier notes
7/25/2022

Jase
I think I prefer a lighter roast. Something with a bit more acidity.
7/25/2022

Renae
It seemed a bit fruity to me. I liked it but still like Verve Sermon more.
7/24/2022

Jeff
I don't like citrusy finishes
7/23/2022

Daniel
Really good!!

20.0g in with anywhere from .5 to .1 grams of retention with a stock DF64 + SSP MP burrs. ~198°F on a Profitec Pro 600 with ~40g out at about 27-29 seconds. Definitely seems less acidic, but balanced, and the chocolate and caramel notes are very strong and has nice sweetness! I'm fairly new to tasting but this one was definitely well defined. Appears to be a great coffee for novices :)
7/22/2022

Alfredo
Interesting sweet and fruity flavor (maybe mango) at the end. Long lasting and nice body. I used 18gr with 1.7 ratio, 28-32 sec extraction time.
7/21/2022

Douglas
Liked it very much. Good blend of flavors, right degree of roasting.
7/17/2022

Caroline
Loved this coffee! Was smooth, not acidic but had a nice coffee flavor.
7/13/2022

Chet
This was my first time dialing in a brew so I'm not sure I can give a fair rating. But after some trial and error with grind, time, and temperature, I found an enjoyable cup of coffee. Balanced with favors of nuts and citrus. I think this works well with milk drinks although I drank most of mine black. I really enjoyed the aroma.
7/11/2022

Debra
Distinctive crisp start to the day!
7/9/2022

David
Among the best I've gotten. Rich, can be brewed stronger or weaker and holds its balance.
7/7/2022

Michael
Solid traditional roast, easy to extract chocolate, milk chocolate notes with good body. Pulling shorter or faster brings out more lemon notes and acidity.
7/6/2022

Heather
It was good. Kind of citrusy and medium bold - great for an afternoon pick-me-up.
7/4/2022

Antonina
Nutty and cocoa flavor. The lemon isn't really there or very subtle. Delicious tho!!
7/4/2022

Travis
Pretty good. At the first sip it wasn’t my favorite but have enjoyed the last few cups.
7/3/2022

Brenda
It was good
7/1/2022

Matthew
Good not great.
7/1/2022

Heather
It was smooth and not acidic at all.
6/29/2022

Alexa
Really enjoying this coffee. All I add is a little creamer. The flavors are so good
6/28/2022

Megan
Could not even stand the smell of lemon in my coffee. Was not strong, thank goodness.
6/23/2022

Aaron
Good first choice
6/17/2022

Jere & Susan
Very nice blend.
6/12/2022

Matt
Great balanced flavor
6/9/2022

Dustin
It was a coffee that was very forgiving with dialing in the espresso settings. The taste was lighter and I appreciated that. Was overly sour or bitter.
6/7/2022

Pedro
Couldn’t dial in a good grind for this one. A little weak for me. Probably just a lighter roast than I usually go for.
6/7/2022

Briana
Nice roast level- not too light, not too dark. A nice balanced blend of cocoa and citrus brightness.
6/7/2022

Amanda
Strong and pleasant flavor! We loved this one.
6/6/2022

Regina
A bit too light for espresso. We didn't care for the citrus.
6/3/2022

Charlie
Kinda sour. Very punchy.
5/26/2022

Jessica
Good when used with a paper filter vs mesh filter. Oils seemed to be to heavy.
5/26/2022

Ryan
Pretty good basic coffee. Overall yummy
5/24/2022

Sophie
pretty good
5/23/2022

Stephanie
I have enjoyed drinking this coffee very much. Well balanced, and smooth. It pairs great with my oat milk or soy milk.
5/22/2022

Dillon
Not a bad coffee, I think I prefer something with more of a punch.
5/15/2022

Scott
The level of bean roasting is good and the coffee is smooth, but for my tastes the acidity is a bit high. Does that make sense? This is definitely a good blend, just trying to fine tune the next coffee selection if possible.
5/15/2022

RICHARD
Loved it
5/15/2022

Amanda
I really liked this. It was smooth and made for nice espresso/milk drinks.
5/14/2022

Tim
Good, but no specific flavors stood out
5/11/2022

Kristina
Good taste and caffeine kick. Though a little too much caffeine for me.
5/11/2022

Stephen
Well rounded, nutty flavor

Beans used in a chemex 10cup - 45g medium grind w/ 650ml Distilled water
5/10/2022

Jessica
Coffee tastes burnt and bitter. Not a fan.
5/4/2022

David
You guys inspired me to record my thoughts here this time, ha.

So, if I were short on coffee, I wouldn't buy this, but I'd leave it in my queue if it came up again. That said, I think it's an excellent roast--that is, not my style, but I can tell it's done really well. Would love to try other roasts by this roaster.
5/2/2022

Kevin
Good, solid coffee with a touch of acidity in the cup
5/2/2022

Lindsey
Too smoky
5/1/2022

Carrie
It was good and enjoyed it, but it wasn’t particularly interesting. I didn’t really like the acid of the citrus
5/1/2022

Phil
Wish that the "lemony" or "citrus" notes had been stated more clearly as a keyword descriptor. Otherwise, I would have chosen a different bean with no sourness. I've tried to maximize extraction through both finer grind and higher temp with my pour over, but even though I'm reaching some bitterness, the lemony sourness still persists.
4/29/2022

Steve
I like this coffee. It's a little hard to rate since I don't really have anything else relative to compare it to at this point. It makes a nice cup of coffee that I have really been enjoying in the morning.
4/27/2022

Phyllis
Weak and seemed under-roasted. Please do not resend.
4/25/2022

Juan
Very smooth. Liked it a lot.
4/21/2022

Diane
Truly loved this one! We picked this more to my partners tastes as I generally shy from notes of citrus or juiciness. I was pleasantly surprised. The citrus notes add clarity and lightness to the body that isn't overpowering and is well balanced. Makes for a divine v60 and a phenomenal black iced filter coffee.

Good middle-of-the-road coffee. Not bitter. There's nothing really exceptional about it though.
4/17/2022

Patrick
It's good, but not super interesting
4/9/2022

Alon
I liked this coffee a lot. Surprising combination of a bit of lemony in a dark roast
4/8/2022

Emily
This was my first bag of coffee of my 6 month gift subscription. This brand and blend has surpassed my expectations! The Founders blend is very vibrant and puts a pep in my step. Highly recommend this brand for those who like to supporting black-owned businesses and amazing coffee
4/8/2022

Alexander
Enjoyed the rich flavor of this coffee very much. Resealable package was very nice, too.
3/23/2022

JOSHUA
This was okay. It didn't seem to have much stand out about it. No strong scent or even distinct flavor. Perhaps I was brewing it wrong, but it just didn't stand out to me.
3/20/2022

Sarah
Was to light and not bodied enough
3/20/2022

Garrett
Quite tasty - too long since finished
3/20/2022

Mollie
Takes over a week to arrive

Thomas
darker full body experrience.
3/7/2022

David
I could see how this could be a crowd pleaser. Has a little bit of everything for all coffee lovers. I think it might fall slightly short with some because of certain characters they want to pop more. You can’t please everyone though, but I would definitely grab this again if I was pouring for a lot of people.
3/1/2022

Mary
Terrible. Burned tasting. Likely my least favorite yet.
2/22/2022

Erik
Made an excellent pour over brew!
2/21/2022

Craig
Very nice flavor profile. Wonderful for serving to people if you’re not sure of their tastes. Four stars because it’s not a major standout but definitely an excellent coffee.
2/17/2022

Michelle
Tastes like it sounds.
2/15/2022

Midge
Wonderful coffee! Good ground or in beans.

11/29/2021

Ashok
Great for our taste
11/24/2021

Tyler
Coffee had nice notes, good blend of richness and brightness - not too acidic or too bitter.
11/23/2021

Mercan
LOVED this one! One of my faves I’ve received. Nice and toasty and nutty and cocoa-y and cozy. But with no bitterness or aftertaste, and not too tart or floral.
11/23/2021

Jordan
Definitely a smooth cup of coffee. I still am not perfect at identifying the types of flavors/features in a cup of coffee, but would argue there's really no acidity at all in this. Can definitely taste the chocolate, as well as the whisky/bourbon tones. Perhaps because of this I definitely need cream, and feel like it resembles a dark roast more than most medium roasts. I would have needed to save my first bag to compare, but I feel like if I had to choose I preferred the Populace House blend over this.
11/21/2021

Jessica
Well balanced and delicious. My husband and I both loved this one!
11/12/2021

Laura
It is too citrusy/floral for my personal taste but it was good coffee otherwise!
11/10/2021

Alexa
This tastes great!
11/7/2021

SU JUN
Taste has a bold presence!
11/6/2021

Ben
This was another one with a woodsy aftertaste I didn't quite enjoy.
11/3/2021

Jamie
Very balanced. Delicious.
11/3/2021

Kelsey
Loved everything about this. Very well balanced and great quality
10/30/2021

Tyler
I enjoyed this. My gf and I found that a lot of the chocolate notes come out later in the taste, like an aftertaste of chocolate. We really enjoyed this one
10/22/2021

Molly
Enjoyed this coffee.
10/22/2021

Christopher
Decent enough, not too chocolate flavored not too fruit flavored not too acidic. Just a general run of the mill coffee, if it was available at a restaurant I would order it but not go looking for it.
10/21/2021

JingJing
Nice fruity balanced flavor, a little too citrusy and acidic
10/20/2021
