Wow, this is an outstanding cup of coffee!! 1st blend purchase, intending to roast for latte loving drinkers per the description, that ain’t happenin’. Roasted FC in my Behmor 1600 Plus AB 4 days ago, prepared drip in the Behmor Brazen, drank it black & am blown away!! Rich, full-bodied, chocolate, creamy, sweetness in the Carmel feel. I don’t do milk based drinks nor espresso machines ... this is a terrific cup of coffee. Purchased 10#, ordering another 25# now because we’ll go through my initial bag in no time!! CBC has such excellent service to go along with high quality products. Thank You

This coffee may have changed my life. When I decided to mess around with roasting, I got a cheap green bean off Amazon just to make sure it would be something I stuck with. That made an okay cup, but I knew they were lackluster beans. After finding roasting was a process I enjoyed, and I decided to use the coffee matrix here to pick out a few beans to try. The profile of this one looked so perfect, I bought 7 pounds in my first order.
I originally was roasting this for espresso, and it made the best cup of espresso I've ever had, even using a relatively cheap espresso machine. The espresso was so good it was outshining the best espresso I'd had in Italy.
Then I bought a French press, and that was when my life changed. This bean makes the PERFECT cup of French press coffee (for my taste). It has a thick, incredible body to it and a rich flavor. Plus if you like a bold cup of coffee, I use 10-12 tablespoons of this in a French press and it makes the boldest/strongest cup I've ever had, while avoiding being overpowering. It's absolute perfection.

WOW, your description is dead on. It is a really complex yet well balanced espresso. i pulled a shot and i didn't think the crema would stop, and it passed the "sugar test" which is where the sugar is supported by the crema, rather than sinking to the bottom. Then for the real test...the taste... it is very clean, sweet(sugar not included)yet has an enjoyable tartness(fruity) to it, and as i mentioned it is complex, i tasted, everything from chocolate to nuts and back to buttery. It reminds me of some of the espressos i had in Southern Italy. I liked it best roasted into the second crack as the beans had a nice and oily sheen to them. Thank's to Ferdelance(is that his real name?) for coming up with a blend especially for espresso, i have tried many different blends, and while some have been good, it seems you always have to roast it to a certain roast. This one seems to be good at a lot of different roasts, which is good if i am not paying close attention to the roast and end it early or roast it longer. Superb!!!!
