    I'm continue to drink these "alongside" my nephew in LA as we both have Cometeer advents. Intelligentsia Black Cat has a reputation as one of the steadiest, best quality controlled espresso you can find in the mass market. I think this Cometeer pod is good. If anything, it has less of the syrupy/sweet/smooth Cometeer pod mouthfeel. It has solid depth of the chocolate note and is lightly nutty and sweet. It's pretty non-controversial and easy to drink but I think there are more interesting Cometeer pods, and I'd rather have a shot of the Black Cat espresso. That said my nephew loved it and he's more of a regular Cometeer drinker1

Roast Level: Medium
Medium roast coffee balances the beans' natural flavors and the roasting process, providing a well-rounded taste profile. When selecting a medium roast, look for a balance of acidity and sweetness, with caramel, nuts, and chocolate notes and a medium body.
Bean Source Country: International Blend
International blend coffee refers to a blend of coffee beans sourced from different regions or countries worldwide. International blends combine beans with distinct flavor profiles and characteristics, resulting in a harmonious and complex cup of coffee. The quality of an international blend depends on the expertise of the coffee roaster, who carefully selects and combines beans to achieve a specific flavor and balance. Roasters who excel in crafting international blends have a deep understanding of the different growing regions, varietals, and processing methods.
