A friend sent me a variety pack of Cometeer and Big City was one of the roasts that came in it.

I save Cometeers for when I need a cup of coffee but people are sleeping so I can't turn on the grinder!

This is a solid French roast level coffee with low bitterness and a good level of natural sweetness. It's slightly smoky towards the end of the palate. The roaster's note of burnt sugar is pretty close. It's very drinkable with a nice mouthfeel, but without I think a real winning note shining through. Seems like something you would pick if you had a bunch of regular old coffee drinkers coming over and you needed something safe and neutral.
Cupping Method:Cometeer, hot

More Details

Roast Level: French

A French roast is a deeply dark and robust coffee roast known for its intense flavor and smoky undertones. Achieved through extended high-temperature roasting, the beans are transformed into a glossy, nearly black shade with a rich, oily surface. With low acidity and a bitter-sweet taste, this roast offers notes of dark chocolate and caramel, making it ideal for those seeking a full-bodied and bold coffee experience. Its versatility allows it to shine in various brewing methods, including espresso and drip coffee, and it pairs well with milk and other additives, making it a popular choice for indulgent specialty beverages like cappuccinos and lattes.

Bean Source Country: Americas Blend

Latin American coffee beans often have flavor profiles characterized by bright acidity, medium to light body, and fruity or nutty notes.
