Very good. a darker roast than I usually like but made a solid cup of cappuccino. Second time around.....not so much. Back on probation. try a third time.

didn/t

Very good! Too long ago to remember much else.

For espresso, this coffee was acrid and had great difficulty producing crema which would be flavorful past burnt notes. Packaging quality left much to be desired for someone who makes espresso at home and likes to savor roasts over more than one week.

Berry taste is too strong
12/6/2022
Best so far. More like this?
6/13/2022
Love it! Dark chocolate is so strong
5/31/2022
This was a dark roast that both my wife and I like. The combination of dark roast and some sour fruity notes is great
1/20/2022
There's a strange sour aftertaste. We definitely don't love it. Also, curious as to why it's called "Mayan Magic".

This coffee was really extraordinary, please send us this one more often!

This is listed on bag as Dark Roast. It is not a dark roast in any sense. It's actually kinda light. So In that perspective it's a downer. If you disregard the label, it's a pretty tasty coffee. Nothing jumps out as too special though.

9/26/2021
Not strong enough
9/16/2021

very smooth..my favorite so far
3/23/2021
too acidic fruity for us.
3/4/2021
Too dark and acid.
1/10/2021
Not bad, low acidity to me and I usually love that. Just seemed kind slightly boring to me, didn’t seem rich.
9/18/2020
Not a fan of fruity coffees
8/25/2020
Ok pull, a bit too fruity for my taste.
8/15/2020
We’re not fans, didn’t get any fruit or brightness out of it. The acid notes weren’t great. To earthy and dark.
6/28/2020
This is some of the best coffee I've ever had! The cherry and chocolate notes balance each other out so well, I truly felt like I was drinking liquid chocolate covered cherries! I will order it again for sure!
5/11/2020
Great crema, velvety
4/13/2020
Good coffee but I think the roast didn't work for us. Too light.
4/7/2020
I enjoyed this when making it into a latte, but I did not like the flavor when it was just a shot of espresso. It was sweet in the latte, but almost watery by itself.
4/1/2020
One of my favorites!
2/14/2020
I do not like the taste!
1/13/2020
Very good
9/7/2019
Too acidic for home espresso even after several adjustments. This was much better suited for drip coffee.
9/7/2019
Not over-roasted like the last couple of shipments. Not the richest flavor, though. Good not great.
8/7/2019
Too light and fruity and acidic for my tastes. This would be good for pour over or someone with a flat burr grinder trying to extract a fruit flavor out of the cup for espresso. The beans were not able to produce very much crema, almost as if they were stale.
6/10/2019
IT was nice and smooth but too fruity for me.
5/28/2019
Pretty average coffee for me. Gets a bit boring after a bit.
5/11/2019
Too “fruity”
3/9/2019
Versatile and delicious. Used it as an espresso, americano, drip and all had different complexity but generally chocolate and a bit of caramel.
2/11/2019
I really liked the fruity notes but it goes bitter really fast and had a bit of an aftertaste bite. I prefer the coffees with more of a smooth finish.
2/9/2019
Dark and smooth. Needs finer grind.
1/28/2019
Very tasty!
11/26/2018
Too dark for me
11/26/2018
Excellent espresso.
11/24/2018
Very fruit forward. Flavor mellowed out as the beans aged.
11/13/2018
Chocolatey and fruity. Great roast level.
10/25/2018
Really solid espresso. The dark cherry notes really come through at the end of every sip, even in a latte.
10/19/2018
Nice fruity opening. Smooth finish. Grind Setting:6
10/2/2018
Great espresso. Great flavor, smooth, enjoyable. Not as rich through a Chemex. Not notable enough to desire it again.
6/19/2018
What I would call close to a 'classic Italian' style espresso... The robust chocolate notes are great. The touch of acidity isn't what I'm personally looking for, but it makes a good, default, familiar espresso. Punches through milk strongly.
5/6/2018
Really good for espresso!
4/10/2018
Mad I drank it too fast
3/1/2018
Outstanding as an espresso, and in pourover.
1/12/2018
It was okay not very exciting, however for a dark roast it was one of the better ones, not bitter at all.
1/11/2018
Great
1/11/2018
Good, but not great. a nice smooth finish for a latte, but lacked a some punch.
