This is what I'm talking about! For me, this is the quintessential
dark roast, bold and full of complex flavors. Unbelievably, these
wonderful qualities actually get better for several days after
opening the package. I look forward to disc... Read more.

Great representation of sumatra, very balanced across what this
bean can do. The roast gives a nice rich body for the slightly spicy

Smooth and delicious. Every cup I have made of this espresso has
been fabulous. It brews consistently and never fails to have a nice

I order many different roasts and this o... Read more.

on your journey into lucid awakening. I wrote... Read more.

makes for a super strong cup of chocolate. I... Read more.

NOVO ROCKS!! I have just recently started drinking
decaf or "half caf", and this roast does not disappoint.
It's actually the first decaf I've found that I get excited
for! (Maybe it's the mountain water process) I prefer

I've been going coffee crazy lately and have been
sampling countless varieties. That being said, this is a
coffee I keep going back to. It has a nice creamy, rich
and full body with lots of caramel chocolate earthy
goodness. Put a donut... Read more.

Something about Dallis Bros. coffee really wakes up
my coffee senses. From the aroma on through to the
aftertaste their Ellis Island Blend is a very pleasant
and inspiring coffee experience that is a real stand-

I like to create 50:50 blends of caffeinated and decaffeinated coffees to avoid the blood pressure spike I get with pure caffeine. I finally found a mix I really like with the decaf monk and the Don Roger, both from 1000 Faces. The Indian spic... Read more.
