This roast presents as a bit dark, with an appealing tartness. The flavors evolve with a little bloom of acidity and a touch of astringency at the finish. The tart flavors hint at a lemony blueberry and the dark roast flavors lean towards chocolate.

A solid dark roast flavor, highlighting cacao notes with a hint of nuttiness. The flavor was strong with enough nuance to keep me interested.

Had this as a coldbrew with cream, and it had a great chocolately smoothness with a bit of a kick, slightly spicy almost. I really enjoyed the lingering aftertaste, which was also just a bit spicy.

Had this as a coldbrew with cream, and I loved the richness. It tasted slightly on the darker side to me.

This roast has a bright acidity that leans sweet, complimenting a slight oaken/ toasted nut undertone. There was a bit of a bitterness that unfortunately lingered at the finish.

A nice cup, with high citrus notes, rounded out with a late-expressing roasted flavor. A lighter feeling coffee that complimented my spicy breakfast on a hot summer day.

This roast had a nice balance and easy, clean finish. The flavor profile was more of a light-medium, which I appreciated as I prefer light to dark roast. Each sip was a pleasure, lightly sweet, and smooth.

A nice coffee flavor that was easy to drink. It was well balanced with a nice, light feel.

A nice, consistent flavor. There is a slight sweetness above a full, dry flavor with a neutral finish.

The immediate flavor is strong, then moves to a dark chocolate feel before finishing a bit bitter. It is a lighter tasting medium roast.

Flavorful and well-balanced. Slightly acid finish gives way to a nice lasting and lingering fiavor.

Immediate flavor that is remarkably consistent from first sip to finish. Light, well-balanced, with a slight sweetness.

This medium roast presents dark with nutty flavors. An average mouthfeel, dark roast at the finish, and flavors of coffee bean, walnut, and a tough of hazelnut.

Cupping Method:Vietnamese drip: cream, no sweetener

This roast has a classic dark flavor, leaning a bit chocolately, but not too complex otherwise.

Cupping Method:Vietnamese drip, cream with no sweetener

This was a fairly average roast. I did not notice any standout characteristics, but it was rather smooth and traditionally flavored.

Cupping Method:Vietnamese drip, cream with no sweetener

Intriguingly, this roast blends two distinctly different beans, resulting in a cacao / light citrus flavor profile. However, I prefer light roast (this blend is advertised as light-medium) and this coffee presented to me as a dark roast in flavor and feel.

This roast is what I would call "dark forward". So, if you like dark roast, you will be happy! There is a subtle tartness for complexity, and some bitterness at the finish.

This hotel coffee was surprisingly decent. The flavor was pleasantly neutral and was just strong enough. There was a subtle old bean flavor, but the overall experience was pleasant.

Prepared as a cold brew, the flavor was refreshing, light, a bit acidic and salty, balanced with a dryness that offered a hint of cherry. I would have preferred a stronger flavor, however, and did not like the slight bitterness expressed at the finish.

Cupping Method:cold brew

As a cold brew, this roast presented as bright, acidic, and woody with a touch of sweetness. However, I did not like how the acidity lingered languidly at the finish.

This roast struck me as quite dry with an subtle walnut flavor and a nice acidity. There was a slight tendency towards bitterness at the end of each sip, otherwise the flavor was consistent.

This coffee had a weaker flavor profile than I was expecting. There was a nice, high, clean initial flavor, but it did not round out after the initial taste. The flavor hinted of chocolate, faded quickly, and finished with a slight bitterness. I would recommend using extra beans if you prefer a fuller flavor.

Cupping Method:Vietnamese drip

The flavor is a bit high and dry on it own, maintaining a stable taste throughout sipping. As a latte, the flavor presents as more full with an interesting nuttiness.

It has a darker roast taste (I prefer a lighter roast), starts rich and falls off a bit towards the end of the sip. The flavor profile tilts slightly towards sweet with a touch of bitterness. It makes a nice espresso. I really appreciate the company social and environmental responsibility!

Lightly flavored, low aroma, with a bit of a lively citrus undertone. It did not have cocoa and caramel flavors as advertised on the package, so I will need to revisit with another tasting.

This roast presents as a much darker medium, with flavor trending towards a bitter chocolate, accompanied with a light burnt sugar.

This prepackaged honey and coffee blend had a very strong honey flavor (actually a bit too sweet for me), but the coffee flavoring was a bit muted. When I am at work, without cream available, I keep some condensed milk on hand to sweeten. This honey/coffee blend is even more handy because nothing else is needed! I tried the latte, cafe cubano, and cacao and they all presented as similarly flavored to me.

I want to love these single serve bags because they are so convenient, but so far, they have not been my favorites. This one was weak even when brewed according to instructions and felt too flat. I might try this as cold brew next time and see if that works better.

Compared to other single serve immersion coffees, this could be considered great, but I feel like it just doesn't brew quite strong enough. The flavor is high, dry, and consistent, but also a bit weak. I am curious to try it again, prepared as a cold brew.
