  This isn't the type of coffee I normally drink so this review is slightly different. I'm grading based on the expectation for a medium dark doughnut shop style coffee, and for passing my "10 AM with the boss" test.
  
  First off, as a coffee reviewer, I get sent all sorts of wretched mushroom coffees or white-label. I don't really know that much about the sourcing here, and it is a mushroom coffee. But this one tastes quite nice for what it's going for, so the score is based on that.
  
  The 10AM test is where I make a big cup of coffee which if it's good enough, I'll drink without thinking all that much about. It's similar to my 90 minute drive test. Morning Overdrive passed!
  
  What I do know is Morning Overdrive is smooth, easy-to-drink, and hits the dark roasts notes right with almost no bitterness. There's a subtle/smoky/smooth start, a touch of nuttiness mid-palate, and a very clean finish. It tastes just like an old-school Colombia Supremo.

  Cupping Method:I think this worked best as a lighter temp pourover, it softened the dark notes and took out the bitterness.
