Not bold enough for me. Has slight acidity.
2/26/2023
It tasted a little "muddy" or like it had been in a coffee pot too long- maybe a bit too fill bodied for us. The other notes didn't come through
1/26/2023
Excellent dark roast that still maintains a great balance without being too delicate. Love this one!
1/20/2023
Very nice flavor, bold like I prefer.
1/19/2023
Suppose to have a taste of brown sugar, but it's not evident. Just another dark roasted coffee.
1/19/2023
I like the dark notes. It's a very good morning coffee. I could go for darker. But I could drink this on a pretty regular schedule too.
1/14/2023
Not terribly dark and too sweet.
12/17/2022
I like the dark chocolate and brown sugar flavors in this coffee. I also enjoy its dryness, which I find makes it a good daily coffee for me.
11/28/2022
This is a Very good and enjoyable slow sip coffee. Subtle but well defined flavor notes. Delicious with just a teaspoon of heavy whipping cream stirred in.
11/4/2022
Pretty dark, Courtney really liked this one, great in lattes
10/23/2022
It was good. But I didn’t notice much to set it apart from any other coffee I’ve had.
10/17/2022
Very good flavor. Would have appreciated it just a little "thicker" but overall delicious.
5/29/2022
This roast had a sharp bitterness to it that I didn't care for. Not sure I cared for the smokieness.
5/23/2022
More of a medium roast

Love love! This has been my favorite yet.
1/26/2022
Good, not great. Tasting notes are definitely on the smoky side of dark yet somehow manages to come across as a weak brew.

Very smooth, pleasent flavor and good for everyday drinking.

Nice and smooth cup.

This is fantastic coffee! Bold, smooth, and not a strong acidic taste.

Really loved this one. Rich, subtly interesting flavors. One of my favorites from the last (almost) year of my subscription!

Rich, and layered when brewed at 15 grams per cup.

Tasty dark roast.

Not bad.

4/10/2021
Good full-bodied coffee, but lacking in the flavor department for me
3/30/2021
Flavorful, but not in an aggressive way. Hints of chocolate and walnut.
2/21/2021
My favorite of all coffees from Mistobox thus far. I really enjoy the brown sugar notes and its sweetness on the front end complemented a subtle bitterness at the finish. Not heavily smoky yet full bodied. Pour over is a must!
2/13/2021
Somehow too dark and yet not strong enough. Sold but not spectacular.
2/10/2021
Loved it. Great, complex dark roast with a smooth finish. Enjoyed both the cold brew and drip versions we tried.

I was really wow'd by the first cup...i thought this might be my first 5-start review but subsequent brews only lead me to rate this as good. Paired well with my creamer but tasted a bit acidic to me.

Not over the top, not sweet at all

Roasty toasty bitter sweet great coffee!
7/4/2020
Fine but unremarkable. Not enough complexity or flavor for us.
5/31/2020
Still too bright for me.

Love everything about this coffee! Fantastic flavor profile, smooth, chocolaty with a hint of brown sugar. A delicious go to coffee for me!.

Very nice bold flavor!

Nice cup, but nothing to write home about. Better as drip than in French press, for some reason.

Very nice coffee- I like it overall. I like the smoky and chocolate notes, full body, and the sweetness is not too excessive (although sweetness is on the higher end of the scale for me).

I kept the label because we loved this one also. Smooth finish and bold flavor. Was fabulous as a cold brew.
8/13/2019
Just seemed like a very average cup of coffee to me. Didn't hate it but wasn't looking forward to it each morning.
7/22/2019
Lots of interesting flavors here. Some of those medium roast cherry notes, but smokiness of a dark roast.
7/17/2019
Very strong, great cold brew but only ok as espresso.
6/30/2019
Easily our favorite (out of 10+ that we've tried).
6/15/2019
Tasted and smelled good when fresh but after a couple weeks past the roast date it wasn't so great anymore.

Phenomenal Best so far. I feel I could drink this every day

My favorite so far.
4/10/2019
This is my favorite, so far.
4/7/2019
Beautiful oils, almost hints of a dark robust maple syrup, the perfect cup of coffee on a rainy morning, doesn't cream or sugar, the acids are very well balanced, but definitely holds up with cream if needed. highly recommend coconut milk with this as the fats are really complimentary. Pour over/chemex worked perfectly wit this. do not recommend as a Yama cold brew system because of the oils
4/5/2019
Enjoyed the flavor
2/16/2019
A little too smoky
1/29/2019
Very good coffee. Good oils and a lighter flavor. It's a good medium between a modern and a traditional coffee. Slightly sweet and not super bold.

This is a good, full-bodied coffee. The delivery was super slow, though, and so I'd probably not order it again.

Great dark blend, smoky and dark with a lot of flavor.

This coffee is dark, but with very noticeable sweet notes. Quite flavorful. All around, a good balanced cup of coffee.

Loved this one!! Would happily have this one again.

Exactly the type I like. Beautiful, smooth, bold coffee taste.

I likes the strong caramel flavor with a clean finish. Nice and low acidity.

It was good, but I prefer flavor that is a little more robust.
7/9/2018
Smells amazing but taste just isn't there.
6/1/2018
Nice full bodied dark roast coffee that finishes strong without being bitter. This is a balanced coffee and makes a good everyday coffee. One of my morning favs.
4/15/2018
A little flat or lackluster. Not a lot of depth of flavor to us. Better than your average grocery store for sure but probably wouldn't want this one again compared with what we've had in others.
3/20/2018
Delicious! We want to try a few others, but will probably be ordering the Diablo again.
3/14/2018
It wasn't good as a pour over, but was delicious as a cold brew. :)
3/13/2018
I had tried it at a store in Seattle and enjoyed it , but this was not as good as I remembered it.
Perhaps this was a different blend, the one I had before said Tobacco leaf, brown sugar and Dark chocolate

For using French Press to make this is one of our favs. Excellent flavors you can drink all day.

Easy drinking, excellent flavor.

good cup.. definitely smoky and bittersweet...but in a good way

Smelled awesome in bag and during grinding, but didn't care too much for the lighter taste
10/6/2017
This coffee has a nice, full taste. It is smoky and smooth, overall a great coffee! My husband's only criticism is that he wished it had a bolder taste. I thought it was great!
10/4/2017
Wonderful dark roast - not bitter but full-bodied. Makes excellent cappuccino.
9/22/2017
Nice dark dark roast. Love the taste of bitter sweet chocolate. Great coffee!
9/20/2017
A solid cup. Good dark notes.
9/16/2017
Realllly disliked this coffee, would've returned it to the roaster. I couldn't taste any of the tasting notes over the acidic, bitter over-tones
9/10/2017
best so far
8/28/2017
One of the better coffees I have ever had!!
8/17/2017
Possibly the best coffee we've received from Mistobox so far. Slight hints of molasses, a smooth nuttiness, and a smokey full finish without a disparaging mouthfeel. The coffee is surprisingly laid-back given its dark roast, but using a mesh filter allows a bit more aggressiveness in the smokey finish. Not my favorite for immersion methods, but great for pour-over (particularly in the V60). Will definitely order again.
8/16/2017
Another good dark roast with a definite brown sugar hint.
7/24/2017
Love the rich, full flavor of this coffee. It is stout but not overpowering.
7/20/2017
Delicious!
7/10/2017
Really liked this coffee, believe it may be my favorite so far. Was full bodied with no bitterness and loved the brown sugar and chocolate notes.
7/6/2017
It tasted very smooth. It wasn't too overpowering but it wasn't too weak either.
6/19/2017
It just doesn't taste as bold as I like it. I used a lot of beans, so it was strong, but just not the taste I really love.
6/12/2017
This is a bland coffee with no "kick" to it. I like the first one much better.
6/4/2017
I liked this coffee a lot! It had the right amount of robustness and flavor for my morning coffee. Really enjoyed the complexity of the flavor. I wouldn't mind getting this selection any time.
6/2/2017
pretty much my favorite so far. dark and smooth.
5/31/2017
It was okay. A little too sweet on the back end.
5/31/2017
It tastes better chilled. The smokiness of the blend fades and the acidity and sweetness becomes more apparent and has a taste similar to creme brulee.
5/26/2017
Very good!
5/25/2017
This coffee was a pretty good example of what I enjoy, without having anything special to put it over the top. Dark enough, smooth enough, balanced, but nothing particularly standout.
5/23/2017
Really loved the dark roast and slight sweetness
5/21/2017
Ive asked not to have any coated coffee beans. My machine doesn't work with beans that are Carmel coated , chocolate coated, etc. basically anything coated

Strong and delicious. Def ordering this one in the future.
5/8/2017
Very good not as bitter as the French roast we had last.
5/7/2017
This blend was excellent! I loved how full and bold it was.
5/4/2017
I liked this coffee a lot. It got a nice mouthfeel and I love the way it smells. I can definitely taste the caramel flavor, although I'm not sure I'm quite picking up on the smoky flavor. I would say coffee tastes a lot like my "go to" coffees I pick up around my area.
5/2/2017
Smooth, but lacking the dark smoky flavor I was looking for
5/1/2017
Perfect taste and mouth feel
4/30/2017
A nice coffee. Bit low on the aroma, and the crema is not rich. Good rich flavor, and not to oily for the dark roast.
4/28/2017
This is a very smooth and flavorful coffee. Great in the morning! Holds its flavor even while lingering over breakfast.
4/25/2017
My wife and I both love this blend. Since we primarily drink espresso-based drinks, we like coffee that cuts through milk well and this did the job and tastes great!
4/25/2017
This coffee smells like a chocolate cookie when ground up. Very earthy and full bodied. Brews well in my french press, very impressed so far.
4/24/2017
Very good! I liked the strength and intensity of this coffee but didn't love the smoky flavors that came along with it.
4/19/2017
Super good, better than the last! I love the flavors. slightly Bitter, but nice and roasty finish. Beans are lighter in color than most dark roasts I love.
4/18/2017
The Diablo Blend is money. Not as dark as the description might imply, but still has some great flavor.
4/11/2017
Amazing. Love this coffee. More like this, please! Or just this again.
4/6/2017
This tastes less green than the previous one, but could be smoker and sweeter. Let's try one next that has the very dark and oily looking beans like the Starbucks espresso roast that I like so much.
4/3/2017
Roasty, but not as smooth as others I've had. Definitely a top-notch coffee with a hint of bitter chocolate and a strong flavor of tree-nut skins.
3/31/2017
Coffee has a good rich, strong, bold flavor. I would have definitely welcomed a double shipment of the beans!!!!
3/22/2017
This was easy enough to enjoy, not quite as even or broad as the Deep Space. A little sharper by comparison and had slight dry streak in the taste.
3/8/2017
I did not enjoy this coffee.
3/1/2017
A little bitter ; flavor not as strong as I would have liked.
2/28/2017
This one pretty much tasted like dirt. Made cold brew concentrate using 10oz of coarse ground beans and 40oz of water.
2/27/2017
Good dark roast full bodied and smoky as described.
2/23/2017
Excellent! The best thus far. Bold but smooth, delivering the caramel and sweet smokey note tones as advertised. I would order this one again!
2/20/2017
Loved it!!
2/16/2017
Didn't really get a bunch of character out of it but smooth.
2/7/2017
I enjoyed this coffee very much. The flavor is very smooth - neither acidic nor bitter to my taste, and neither burnt nor roasty. I enjoyed the complex taste and the color of the beans is just about right. We're definitely moving in the right direction.
1/25/2017
smooth - loved it!
1/24/2017
Not a big fan of organic coffee. They are normally not as flavorful and this was no exception . Mixing it with some darker roast to give it some taste.
1/23/2017
Really enjoyed this. Full bodied, dark roast. Smokey rich flavors are perfect for the morning wake-up.
1/23/2017
Not bold enough
1/22/2017
This coffee was rich, dark, smooth and well balanced. Everyone that tried it enjoyed it. It was not as complex as some of the other coffees that I have had, but it was still very good.
1/20/2017
Love love this blend--deep and nutty, very smooth.
1/20/2017
Great taste - nice, bold and smooth. A hint of sweetness. Medium colored bean with a touch of oil.
1/18/2017
This coffee was not as good as the first shipment. It had a mild sweet flavor that diminished the robust coffee taste preferred.
1/17/2017
Delicious dark roast
1/15/2017
It seemed to lacking boldness and strength. We did try the second coffee you sent, the Italian blend, and liked it better
1/10/2017
Best coffee we've had so far. Really enjoyed the balance of caramel and smoky flavor.

Smooth coffee, not as dark as I normally like, but evidently dark enough, as I really liked it.
12/29/2016
Loved this coffee! So smooth and rich.
12/8/2016
I personally don't like smokey flavors, so I really dislike this coffee
12/6/2016
This blend I enjoyed the best so far. It is robust but still smooth.
11/21/2016
Love this coffee. Dark, Smokey and Bold. One of my favorites!
11/12/2016
At first sip, this coffee put hair on my chest, then immediately wrapped me in a loving embrace that reassured me I could absolutely tackle my new life as a hirsute female imbiber; it would all be worth it in the end. The autumn winds carried the smell of burning leaves and roast cacao from my hilltop home to the tiny villagers below. At some point a bald eagle landed on my shoulder. When I came to, I was still sitting in commuter traffic but at least the coffee was pretty good.
11/1/2016
Diablo Blend was better than Double Dark but still darker than I typically enjoy. Tastes a bit burnt. For my next batch, please sent me a medium roast instead of a dark roast.
11/1/2016
Not my cup of tea... err, coffee.
10/19/2016
There is a delicious contrast in this coffee! First you taste the light sweetness and then you are left with the smooth smoky flavors at the end. An excellent cup!
10/13/2016
Very deep, dark and full bodied, w/ 5 min brew
10/2/2016
Good flavor
9/29/2016
emphasis on bitter side of chocolate and roasted dried fruits; enjoyed it but looking for more of a medium roast
9/22/2016
Very good coffee. I used it both for hot brew and cold brew. Delicious option as cold brew.
9/19/2016
Smoky, tobacco flavors are nice, but overall too mild for me.
9/11/2016
was ok at first, but the more I drank it the less enjoyable it was.. can't put my finger on what made it increasingly terrible
9/7/2016
Better than when I went to the Ladro coffee shop in Downtown Seattle. Smooth, delicious, low acidity.
8/11/2016
loved it! the chocolate smooth kind of dark roast I like.
8/9/2016
We. Hate. Dark. Roast. It's in our profile. I mean, I went back and checked just to be SURE. It SPECIFICALLY states "light roast." I'm rating some of these "back coffees" because Mistobox has been a disappointment for some time now. I just want to try to find the type of coffee we can find in Europe. Immensely frustrating.
7/31/2016
Would like a little less tobacco flavor
7/31/2016
Struggled to get a bold flavor with this one. Didn't seem like a dark roast at all.
7/28/2016
This is so good! Love the Smoky taste
7/21/2016
Really enjoyed this darker roast
7/17/2016
If you like a rich, smooth, full-bodied cup, try this one - you won't be disappointed!

Awesome, awesome, awesome! Loved the smoky flavors. This pick was definitely a home run

I really enjoyed this cup. The caramely notes were nice, but I wished it carried over more to the cup. The mouth feel was smooth, but not as chocolately or caramely as I would like.
4/8/2016
Enjoyed the flavor of this coffee. Nice, smooth, rich taste - perfect for a mid morning cup without giving too much of a caffeine boost. Would definitely buy this one again
4/6/2016
I greatly enjoying this coffee. I'd considering some of the best I've had so far. It incredibly robust and dark, but not too chocolatey or nutty like I feel many "dark" coffees tend to be.
4/3/2016
Good taste, but mild.
4/2/2016
Love this one.
3/28/2016
Not too bad, but only second day. A bit earthy for my taste, yet it still has room to grow on me.
3/19/2016
This coffee is fantastic. I was worried it would be too bitter or harsh based on the description, but it tastes great, has a smooth finish, and leaves me wanting more when my cup is empty.
3/13/2016
Nice body. Low acidity. Has a slight over-roasted flavor, but overall solid.
3/11/2016
Best one yet for me! I love the dark roast and rich flavor. The caramel and smoky undertones are there but not over powering. It's well rounded.Very nice!

2/16/2016
Smokey
2/13/2016
No matter how I made it, it tasted either too weak or too strong. It smelled okay, but tasted burnt and was undrinkable.
1/11/2016
Dark coffee is always finicky. Most of them take the right process and brewing to get just right. This coffee . . . couldn't screw it up. Excellent and amazing complexity despite a very dark roast. Chemex brewing axes any bitterness, but a french press adds depth. Take your choice, but each method makes this taste like an entirely new coffee. Kudos to the roaster.
12/29/2015
By far, the best blend I've tried yet! Made French press style, in the morning with a little hazelnut creamer. The creamer dulls none of the flavor. Amazing.
12/20/2015
Excellent, thanks.
12/19/2015
Nice strong flavor
12/14/2015
Just ok
12/4/2015
This coffee was good. It just didn't blow me away.
11/16/2015
This one was probably the most enjoyable blend on this shipment. We loved the sweet smooth chocolate finish.
10/28/2015
I could be one with the Diablo after tasting this blend. While the flavor was rich and complex, there was a surprising sweetness that balanced the smoke and earth notes. I loved that the beans were dark and oily, but the flavor was different (and more awesome) than expected.
10/27/2015
Favorite out of this batch, all around worked well
10/24/2015
My favorite so far. It is hard to get used to other coffee after drinking this wonderful blend.
10/13/2015
Really liked this coffee; our 2nd favorite of this taste sample.
10/8/2015
Flavor was there, but weak.
10/1/2015
Overall taste was good. Liked the full body. Wanted more smokey taste. I French pressed it.
9/29/2015
This one, even though it's dark and smokey, is really nice. The tasting notes talk about it being dark brown sugar and caramel, which is what I think I get most from this. I can taste the caramel after taste, or sense it at the back of my throat. Really nice, but probably one of enjoy more in a lighter roast.
8/10/2015
great taste
8/8/2015
Great well rounded flavor. Brewed with Aeropress.
8/7/2015
This blend seemed a bit too bold for me at first when in the palette but I loved the lingering flavor and it actually seemed to mellow if I didn't start in on it immediately after being
7/28/2015
Best yet! We actually give it a 4 1/2. There was less of an aroma after it was brewed, but the definitely bold flavor is awesome. It is slightly sweet and we agree with the roaster's description of a bittersweet chocolate finish. LOVE the finish!
7/28/2015
Strong and smooth..could still use mor bite, but a good cup of coffe. Great aromatics.
7/24/2015
Good Stuff! Full bodied. Nice aroma. Not to heavy but still plenty of boldness. Taste is dark and definitely smoky but still delicious!
6/24/2015
Smoky and earthy. A little spicy with notes of tobacco.

I would describe this as a mild, well-balanced coffee; easy to drink any time of day with medium body and a nice taste and finish.

Nice dark roast. Makes a very well balanced and smooth cup of coffee, while also works well for espresso. Tried making cold brew iced coffee and it turned out great.
