I found (TORO) coffee to be completely lacking in flavor and actually had a guest mention they couldn't taste a coffee flavor.
Please take this coffee off my list to be sent to me.

Makes a great cappuccino

Love the taste of this one. It smelled so fragrant!

Fantastic! The rich, syrupy body is enlivened by the fruitiness and acidity brought by the Costa Rican and Guatemalan components. It was easy to dial in when I pulled my first few shots, too. The tasting notes are pretty accurate, and I find myself vaguely reminded of a dark chocolate-covered cordial cherry as the shot cools. It's beautifully balanced, and definitely exactly what I look for in an espresso blend.

Delicious with great crema
6/12/2024
Loved this one! by far my favorite
5/30/2024
Ok. Flavors muted
4/5/2024
Solid! After this next one I'd like to try something a bit funkier / more complex. Maybe an unwashed option?
3/11/2024
Pretty drinkable, but not one to savor.
2/27/2024
One of my all time favorites
2/23/2024
Bland. No recipe recommendations to dial in
2/17/2024
Didn't taste like coffee at all. Not dark enough for us
12/21/2023
One of our favorites yet
11/23/2023
Cool combo of citrus notes mixed with the chocolateness one expects with an espresso blend. Works well by itself or in a milk drink.
11/20/2023
This has been my absolute favorite espresso and continues to be my go-to whenever I fire up my espresso machine.
10/19/2023
Warm chocolatey notes with a pleasant nutty finish.
9/27/2023
Love this a lot in the morning and after dinner or in drinks. Great in my cappuccinos
8/30/2023
Delicious, nutty!
8/30/2023
Favorite coffee received so far!!
8/28/2023
Very good!
8/21/2023
Eh

Roommates like a darker roast than I do. So they loved this one. I know my profile says medium roast on the lighter side. But I think maybe medium roast on the darker side may be better for the house
2/17/2023
Very smooth with milk.
2/11/2023
nice flavor
2/4/2023
Tastes great!
11/21/2022
nice, but for me a little too dark. To note there was no "roasted on date" on package.
9/19/2022
Strong flavor notes
8/29/2022
Good
6/19/2022
Rich yet not too overpowering. Complex finish.
2/26/2022
This is a great everyday standby coffee. Good flavor. Not too acidic. Rich and flavorful. Glad to support this coffee shop, remember it from trips to Milwaukee in the past.
9/28/2020
Not as flavorful as I was expecting
11/24/2019
Ok.

I try to write a review that provides a good representation of the coffee I have been sent. I have made my way through half the bag and it is still has some mystery to it (if that doesn’t describe this then I don’t know what does). It’s a beautifully smooth -espresso falls right between thick and thin espresso pulls every time. The taste is balanced and can be had as a plain espresso shot (you can taste that it is sweet, but not to sweet, but not bitter). I prefer this as a cappuccino or latte. I have had sips that were nutty - the taste was subtle but noticeable (I’m not reaching with that statement). After making fresh ground bean, I can feel that they have a nice oil to them when I take them out of my grinder. The coffee will become a staple in my kitchen if they keep sending out roasts like this.

Deep Chocolate, perfect balance
8/25/2019
Really great Espresso! Perfect balance, not too dark, not too light!
8/10/2019
too earthy
8/6/2019
Wasn't really into this as much, felt pretty average but maybe I just wasn't making it correctly.
5/7/2019
Average
11/17/2018
Loved. The most beautiful pulls I've seen in months, nutty, touch of citrus, complex, and incredibly sweet. Bag says bittersweet finish, so I was cringing thinking it was going to be overly bitter like every other coffee with that description. However, the sweetness is so prominent. Milk brings a butteriness and rounds out the acidity to give a cup that warms you from the inside out. This one is delicious as an espresso as well.

Wonderful espresso! A nice little touch of fruit along with a classic chocolate full bodied flavor.
2/12/2018
I tried this coffee with my French Press, Aeropress, drip, and espresso machines. Overall, the coffee was roasted too strong for my taste and the flavor did not have enough complexity (I like when I can taste several flavors through a sip). The coffee worked pretty well with the French Press and it was average as an espresso. It did not like it with my drip and aeropress. Thank you

Excellent coffee, would buy again
12/15/2017
Good and tasty espresso. A little think on the body for me, but also held up well for more than 2 weeks.
12/6/2017
Too bitter for my taste.
10/25/2017
Like it a lot, but didn't love it. A little light for my taste.
6/7/2017
Enjoyed the thick rich flavor in my morning cappuccino! It has a very distinct finish which is nice but not my favorite. But then, I am still trying get a better shot.
5/5/2017
Too strong for my tastes. Prefer lighter espressos
4/22/2017
Loved this one!!!
4/7/2017
Delicious. Dark and strong taste with no bitter after taste.
3/21/2017
Definitely a dependable espresso, but I honestly didn't see anything "special" with this - somewhat bland. Also, took me longer than usual to dial this shot in, but that could just be me.
3/14/2017
This espresso is ok, It pairs nicely with milk, but almost gets lost. The finish is a tad bitter. Overall its a decent middle of the road espresso.
2/27/2017
Very light espresso. Flavorful but I really disliked this coffee to the point that I actually said "bleh" . I rely on dark roasts.
2/25/2017
I felt it made a pretty weak pour over, but the espresso shots I pulled were really interesting. Lots of natural sweetness with good bitterness.
2/22/2017
really love this coffee, i like the chocolate and what i'm imagining as a low acidity? It tastes smooth.
1/11/2017
This espresso is pretty easy to drink, I would like a little less bitterness.
1/2/2017
Could go a tiny bit darker roast, otherwise great, very smooth
