Compass Coffee's Breakfast Blend is a light roast with bright, caramel, and balanced notes. It has a roasted aroma and is very smooth to taste.

Custom blend for a coffee shop (Handlebar) on Nantucket. Have had it as espresso and iced Americano. Solid in both format with chocolate forward notes, light smokiness, a little bit of nuttiness and some late citrus acidity.

Robust, chocolate forward dark roast that has nice natural sweetness with good body and mouthfeel. Fairly smooth and only a touch bitter. Has a plummy acidity but could use a brighter note.
It teeters on the edge of being too smoky, but doesn't get there, especially on ice.
Don't think it's a home run but most dark roast drinkers will enjoy across all formats.Cupping Method:Iced and filter at Handlebar Cafe in Nantucket

Chocolate with a little smoke, natural sweetness in the ripe plum range. Fairly satisfying dark roast. Has a slight woody/rubbery note but not enough to ruin a solid cup.Cupping Method:Compass by Capital One Center in DC

This Tuckernuck Decaf Blend isn't my favorite ever but some might like it.
Result is little bit like an elevated Nescafe Taster's choice, pretty plummy and sweet, but a bit bitter and slightly rubbery. That's definitely an archetype of coffee many folks enjoy.
This is a Compass roast specifically for this cafe (or it could be that they are putting a label on a roast they already offer). Most of my Compass experience has been at this cafe in Nantucket.Cupping Method:Had this as a double espresso at the Handlebar in Nantucket. Had already done a pretty big pourover in the morning but didn't want to sit in the coffee shop without ordering something.

Special blend for Handlebar Coffee in Nantucket. Not great for a medium roast. Tasted kind of burned even when cool and pretty bitter. Burned note washes out the chocolate. A bit of dried and non dried sweet plum.Cupping Method:Drip from Handlebar Cafe in Nantucket
