Panther Coffee Reviews

This one was a pleasant surprise. It is darker than I usually drink, so I wasnt expecting to love it, but I did. It had a wonderful complexity and was thoroughly enjoyable.

I've been drinking this Panther Decaf for the past week. Trade listed this as Medium roast coffee, but it's definitely a dark roast with a significant oily sheen on the beans, and it drinks as such. Although I was looking for a medium roast decaf espresso, I'm grading this as a very good dark roast decaf.

It has a nice mouthfeel I'd describe as smooth and almost glycerine at the front of the palate. Dark chocolate and smoky notes with nuttiness. Crema is fluffy and persistent. Overall, the coffee has excellent mouthfeel. This roast is slightly bittersweet, with some plum acidity. I do think it could use a bit more fruitiness/brightness.

Cupping Method:I ordered the bag from Trade Coffee, and have been drinking it as espresso and hot Americanos to try to space out caffeine.

This roast leans dark, and is much more flavorful than the name "mountain water" would imply. Flavor profile features notes of pecan with an intriguing spiciness.

A good, versatile espresso choice. Highlight is a textbook, just right earthy note. I also get dark chocolate, caramel, and black cherry.

Cupping Method:I got this espresso from Trade.

Creamy, deep notes, sometimes with a toasted peppery taste but a fruit-like finish. Tasty, lingers in a nice way!
