This is the second bag I have purchased within a month. The bag was sent with the white label marked out in black. Looking closer at the marking, the best before date was intentionally covered. The item was expired on December 13, 2020.Please do not sell expired items. It is unethical and it showed the seller values money or profit over the customerâs well-being. I am very disappointed!!!

Light Roast, Whole Flavor
I’m not really a big coffee aficionado so I can’t personally attest to the flavor profile. I did not see a roast date on my package which many people commented on in their reviews. The beans were not dried and shriveled up like on other reviews.I used 2 cups of beans which wasn’t even half the bag, so hopefully this bag is good for a month of use in a 1 person/1.5 cups per day household. I mostly got this as a way to stop paying for the canned harbucks coffees in the stores which are absurdly costly and take time out of my week to get. 10$/mo is a lot better than 90$ for the cans. The cold brew did not produce a black color which shocked my coworker, but the flavor was very high after a short 11 hour brew. The flavor is significant dulled after a shot of milk and vanilla. Both my taste testers thought the coffee was great.Coffee grounds are great for composting (green material) and your coffee bean grinder can also grind dried disinfected eggshells.

Light Coffee, yet Effective!
I absolutely love the label, and from what I read about their other products, I decided to buy this Medium Roast from the company. The beans are very tasty, like perfect basic beans. I grind them myself into a fine powder, and I have to use more than usual to make it as strong as I need it to be. But it works, somehow! It’s better coffee than the store bought stuff. So…. I say get it! It’s also very, very smooth, and tastes nice! Enjoy.

Worst coffee ever
I pIâm an old IT guy so I have drank plenty of bad coffee. Really bad coffee. But this was the worst. I have no idea what was wrong with it- seemed beyond just old and stale. I actually vacuumed these beans out of my machine and brewed the rest into a cup to throw down the drain and then threw away the next cup made with decent beans in case any of these were still in the grinder.. The people who loved this got a very different product than what was shipped to me.

Great tasting coffee to switch up your normal coffee routine, might be better on pour over
This coffee surprised meânot only is it fantastic for espresso, but I’d even argue it’s better suited for pour-over. The flavors are bold, rich, and punchy, making it a unique treat in the mornings. I would highly recommend that the roaster includes more specific details about the coffee, like its origin and processing method. This would really help customers understand what gives it that intense flavor profile. That said, it’s not a coffee Iâd reach for every day. The strong, complex flavors are great, but a bit overwhelming for a daily drink. A solid choice if you’re looking for something unique!

One of the best tasting beans purchased so far !
Iâve been using Lavazza dark roast for some time run through a Krups espresso and would adjust flavor with grind but, I recently purchased a G3(Marzocco) and there are various ways to âadjustâ the intensity, aroma , flavorâ¦ with this machine. I still have a Barista âVirtuosoâ thatâs going on 10 years(burr grinder) . Decided to try one of the many bean blends now available and roasted in house. You can now purchase a coffee bean roaster for your home but blending beans is the tricky part and uber retentive (at least in my part) but after several 12 ounce sampler pack I purchased here on Amazon , this one is my most favorite. Itâs not an oily bean so donât expect a lot of âcremaâbut , I can taste the chocolate , a little caramel and toasted brown sugar in my brew. Definitely will keep this one on my shelf !

3.5… quite good, but too many sour/citrisy flavor notes for my taste
reviews of coffee are clearly subjective as people like different flavors, but I read the label speaking of “dark chocolate, raw sugar and marshmallow” and I was like “sign me up!”. I, however, was not able to taste these flavor notes in my espresso. There were hints of dark chocolate, but i tasked way more lemon and heavy sour flavors. I was able to moderate this someone by using the finest setting on my bean grinder, but it only brought me up to thinking this coffee was ‘so-so’. I think the beans were of a high quality and arrived fresh, so I’m going to try other blends from Intelligentsia with either a medium/dark or dark roast as a comparison.

Favorite Espresso
This is our favorite espresso Iâve found. I switched for a few months to another smaller roaster but ended up coming back to it. I have it on Subscribe & Save which is a great deal when compared to cost in store. The notes arenât what I would think Iâd go for but havenât found anything better yet! Worth a try!

Best Iâve had so far! Keep coming back.
Weâve tried 30 or so different types and brands and this one keeps us coming back. It is the best tasting weâve ever had and we keep a running stock of it.
