The best so far!

It tastes burnt, no matter how I try to adjust the water to coffee to brew time ratio.
2/13/2025
It was ok. A bit thin tasting for me.
1/30/2025
This was our favorite yet. Incredible.
1/6/2025
Good. Had better.

We consistently seems to love TEMPLE roasts. Their roasts have a complexity to them that really make them stand out above other roasts we've received.
7/22/2024
Very good
7/8/2024
I really appreciated the brew directions, which made a cup that is really lovely, with all the flavors nicely displayed. It just feels too...thin bodied for me. Not mad at it, it's well done, just not for me.
7/2/2024
This was the perfect flavor! The beans smelled nice, the flavor was very smooth, and it didn’t cause issues for me with acid reflux. I rate this 10/10!
6/10/2024
Most enjoyed as a pour over. Flavor was bit too intense for me when French pressed or cold brewed
6/2/2024
Dark and stormy. Very rich and smooth, big dark chocolate notes. This is a daily drinker.
5/28/2024
Not bad but not a fan
5/26/2024
Very much enjoyed
5/20/2024
Caramel flavor was shocking, I've never tasted so much of it in coffee -- rich cup via Chemex, but it gets acidic once it cools even just a bit.
5/17/2024
hand grind single cup pour over for coffee. I didn't like it quite as well as the previous choices. Seemed a bit less smooth.
5/15/2024
We really enjoyed the taste of the coffee.
5/15/2024
Loved the rich caramel taste in this when paired with milk. Had to brew this darker than our usual cup though in order to get that richness, took a couple tries to “get it right”. Used a Chemex to brew, enjoyed cups both hot and cold. We’d like to continue receiving breakfast brews that have notes of caramel, chocolate and/or nuts :) Thank you!
4/30/2024
too acidy
4/10/2024
Delicious
4/7/2024
Really good!
4/5/2024
Nice but a bit too bitter. Highly caffeinated at the start, mellowed out a bit after a few days.
4/1/2024
Ok, but didn’t care for the baking spice notes.
3/30/2024
Was hard to find the flavor profiles when making americanos and pour over.
3/27/2024
Awesome taste and flavor profile
3/25/2024
Not for me. Wanted a light roast.
3/7/2024
It was nicely balanced and smooth (no bitterness). However, it seemed light and not a full, true dark roast.
2/16/2024
I like this one very much. I wish the roast was a tad darker, but nothing's perfect. It really does taste strongly of cocoa, and it's very full bodied. I pulled two excellent shots this morning.
2/16/2024
Smooth but bland
2/11/2024
Did not enjoy the taste and it was really difficult to dial in on my espresso machine
2/2/2024
Doesn’t seem full bodied or dark roast as described but still a well rounded pleasant coffee
1/28/2024
Very tasty - good strength level and good acidity.
1/24/2024
I prefer a darker bolder coffee. This says it’s a dark roast, but it still felt a little weak to me.
1/18/2024
Perfectly happy with this coffee. Flavour is good, no bitterness or sourness. But it was a bit mild - I'd be interested to try something a bit stronger.
1/16/2024
Good...but a bit too light for my taste.
1/7/2024
deep and rich
1/5/2024
Great bag of coffee
12/29/2023
Has a distinct caramel taste to it that we didn’t care for. Is a very dark coffee, we prefer something a bit lighter.
12/17/2023
I found this coffee to have good flavor, but not quite the flavor I prefer. I like a stronger, more nutty flavor.
12/12/2023
Pretty good. Maybe too simple and straightforward... ; )
11/30/2023
Love Temple coffee
11/30/2023
My favorite so far from Mistobox! I got the caramel taste, very smooth and balanced. I tend to dislike more fruity espressos – this had a touch of that but was well balanced with the cocoa flavors.
11/21/2023
Meh is the best way to describe it. Didn’t feel there was anything special about these beans.
11/20/2023
Another popular one among the group.
11/17/2023
I appreciated this roast as it had a well rounded flavor.
11/14/2023
Overall not a "bad" coffee brew. Flavor notes are pretty heavy on the caramel taste. We did find that when grinded with our burr grinder, it is very "flaky", and we also needed to use 15-20g more in our french press than usual in order for it to not be extremely weak.
10/31/2023
I really liked this one
10/30/2023
I did not like this coffee at all. It was bitter and overbearing. Please DO NOT send me anything other coffee from this roaster.
10/26/2023
Delicious! Smooth, with a lovely aroma and beautiful, warming flavor.
10/22/2023
Excellent choice! Not too bitter, full bodied, love the hints of cocoa and caramel!
10/19/2023
Nice as espresso and stovetop moka style
10/7/2023
Terrific dark roast. Rich, chocolaty, and sweet. Minimal bitterness and burnt flavors.
10/4/2023
A little fruity for us and more of a medium-dark roast, but still good coffee
9/13/2023
Liked it. No complaints!
8/28/2023
Very good, though dark
8/17/2023
Coffee was just ok not alot of flavor. It didnt have that rich dark taste in other coffees I like.
8/9/2023
I would like more flavor. It was okay but nothing special.
8/6/2023
Terrible! Tasteless and bitter when brewed as pour over with medium-fine grind. Used 26grams coffee to 340 grams water.
8/5/2023
brewed pour over with medium fine grind. Found the coffee to be tasteless and bitter. Terrible!!!
8/5/2023
Excellent espresso. Grind 4.2
7/16/2023
OK but not particularly memorable. Seemed much lighter than a "medium dark".
7/13/2023
Balanced body, aroma, and acidity well. Highly recommend!
6/21/2023
This coffee was full of flavor, rich, and creamy. I added just a hint of brown sugar and a dash of cream. There wasn't any bitter taste/after taste.
6/15/2023
Couldn't overcome the dark notes in this one. Great in milk drinks, but a little too strong as a straight shot.
6/14/2023
8.5/10 Smooth with light bitter ending. Very good flavor
5/29/2023
I like this one. I seem to like the chocolate, caramel notes more than the citrus, fruity notes. This was good. I would get again.
5/27/2023
Dark but smooth taste.
5/26/2023
Love this. Temple is definitely my favorite roaster by far.
4/25/2023
Nice full flavor.
4/24/2023
I liked it - a little darker than I would usually get. But delicious
4/21/2023
Looking for a darker, richer bean with less acidity
4/14/2023
Nuanced flavors that we liked
3/22/2023
Delicious
3/19/2023
Tasted side by side as an espresso along with my 2nd shipment (Zoka Hidden City Blend). The Temple Riqueza is just fine as a coffee with cream or as a latte, but it tastes almost sour as an espresso. I will not drink this as an espresso in the future, and I would not order this again.
3/11/2023
great flavor and notes on this coffee so far my favorite.
3/11/2023
Loved the cocoa/carmel notes
3/8/2023
Not good for large milk drinks, but good flavor overall
3/3/2023
Smooth, chocolate…just strong enough to taste like French toast. It not overpowering. Order again for sure
2/28/2023
Not rich or dark enough for me. It was a nice flavor and the aroma was delightful.
2/23/2023
good, roasted flavors. very smooth and easy to drink. not overly bitter or burnt tasting.
2/20/2023
Too dark for my taste. Good flavor, though
2/17/2023
Average to me
2/14/2023
Great flavor
2/13/2023
Way too light of a roast.
2/3/2023
I did not detect the cocoa. I think I detected the spices and did not like them. Just me. The coffee also tasted slightly bitter. This is not the coffee for me.
1/29/2023
Honestly probably my favorite coffee I've ever had
1/28/2023
Really good coffee! Both of us liked it a lot. It was not very complex, but was well balanced, had a great texture, and aroma! All around good coffee!
1/27/2023
It was good for espresso not for drip coffee however quite strong flavor
1/6/2023
First couple cups really good
12/12/2022
Actually... Not as bad as I originally thought...
11/26/2022
solid
11/22/2022
Very bright and citrusy
8/29/2022
Good coffee. Very mild and smooth. No specific notes stand out but overall I've enjoyed this coffee.
8/26/2022
Excellent. Nutty
8/13/2022
Okay coffee. Nothing really stood out and could not really taste a lot of the flavor profile.
6/29/2022
Loved this one!
5/15/2022
Not in my wheelhouse. It's a bit too "earthy" for me, as in dirty-tasting. Some may find that a good quality; for me it is not great.
4/20/2022
Too lite
4/7/2022
Very smooth and flavorful blend. Not a hint of bitterness, no matter how strong the brew. Definitely a winner.
4/1/2022
Deep, rich flavor - chocolate is on point! This will likely be a staple to my coffee preferences
3/26/2022
So far, I've brewed this coffee using pour-over and French Press and both methods have rendered exceptional flavor.
3/11/2022
So rich and full bodied. “In a weird way it was like drinking hot chocolate”
2/19/2022
Big fan of this coffee.
2/5/2022
This was good, but I don’t want major chain coffee.
1/10/2022
Got rave reviews from my family at Christmas!
1/3/2022
Hard to explain. I always add the same amount of sugar to my coffee but I can normally never tell there is sugar in it. This was different, I could taste the sugar on the first sip. Very odd for a dark roast. I guess I would describe this as one dimensional taste. Not much of a full body to it. Drinkable but not very enjoyable. Definitely had higher expectations.
12/18/2021
wasn't super great. Liked the smell of. Felt like the taste was very strong, we felt that the caramel came through too much.
11/8/2021
Really good
11/8/2021
Wonderfully strong, bold coffee with minimal acidity. Starts with flavors of fermented malt and mellows to a caramel finish. Highly recommend!
10/24/2021
Nice balance, great flavor
10/23/2021
Baking spices, great with creamer
10/16/2021
Great
10/4/2021
Not so great for drinking black - I found it a bit too dark and a bit blah.
9/17/2021
Great! Can you send this one again? I messed up the grind and ended up making cold brew with it (which was great!). I’d like to give it a shot with our espresso machine and chemex
9/16/2021
Great!
9/14/2021
Loved this one!
9/9/2021
I wasn’t too impressed with this one. It wasn’t a bad cup by any means, just not one I prefer. Can’t 100% explain what it was I didn’t like about it though. There was a certain bitterness in it that I didn’t care for. Was able to tame it a little by adjusting grind and brew settings.
9/7/2021
Love Temple coffee, prefer there single origins, but still pretty solid.
8/27/2021
Overall, a good coffee and latte.
8/15/2021
One of my favorites so far!
8/14/2021
Excellent taste! Will definitely consider ordering again. Had a little trouble getting the right extraction from it
8/13/2021
Smooth and tasty. Prefer bolder
8/9/2021
Loved the full bodied balance of this roast.
8/8/2021
Another winner
8/6/2021
Lou said this one was bomb.com, we ordered a 2nd bag to verify in the office!
7/28/2021
my coworkers loved it. very smooth and bold
7/20/2021
This blend is great...tasty, rich and not acidic...more like this one would be great!
7/5/2021
great with drip. very chocolaty
7/4/2021
Very good flavor—no fru-fru added.
7/2/2021
Meh. Tasted flat and was rather unexciting. Though, perhaps that was the intent.
7/1/2021
Bitter
6/22/2021
A favorite., will request again.
6/22/2021
Pretty good. Smooth. Not bitter

5/22/2021
Excellent coffee!
5/16/2021
Smooth and rich
5/13/2021
Very tasty
5/7/2021
Smooth with a slight amaretto sent very easy to drin

4/30/2021
We have enjoyed this coffee a lot. We love the bold flavor and tasting notes.
4/30/2021
Fantastic dark roast
