Reviews for Coffee by Design

A balanced honey-processed cup that leads with stone fruit and vanilla-like floral notes — sweet, tart, and especially aromatic.

Delicately fruit-forward, crisply chocolaty. Date, baking chocolate, hazelnut, tangerine zest, cane sugar in aroma and cup. Sweet-toned structure with gentle, round acidity, plush, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. Understated, balance, nut- and chocolate-toned finish.

Aromatic, wood-framed, berry-toned. Berry melange, fresh-cut cedar, agave syrup, lily, grapefruit zest in aroma and cup. Sweet structure with gentle, round acidity; crisp, silky mouthfeel. Wood-framed finish with berry and grapefruit undertones.

Quietly bittersweet, cocoa-toned. Lime zest, cocoa powder, hop flowers, cedar, persimmon in aroma and cup. Bittersweet structure with brisk acidity; lightly satiny mouthfeel. The finish centers around notes of cocoa powder and hop flowers.

Crisply sweet-savory. Dark chocolate, lavender, date, agave syrup, lemon zest in aroma and cup. Richly bittersweet structure with velvety-smooth mouthfeel; chocolaty finish with lavender undertones.

Vibrant, sweet-savory, floral-toned. Cocoa nib, red currant, myrrh, honeysuckle, hop flowers in aroma and cup. Sweetly savory structure with juicy acidity; crisp, lightly syrupy mouthfeel. The resonant finish centers on red currant and hop flowers in the short, cocoa nib and myrrh in the long.

Richly sweet, deeply berry-toned. Dried blueberry, rhododendron, lime zest, dark chocolate, cedar in aroma and cup. Sweet-toned structure with gentle, round acidity; very syrupy mouthfeel. The finish consolidates to notes of dried blueberry and dark chocolate with cedar undertones.

Intense cedar tone dominates the aroma. Silky mouthfeel and soft flavors that hint at cherry-chocolate, malt and walnut. Wood-toned chocolate in the softly astringent finish.

A roundly straightforward cup dominated by sweet nut- and fruit-toned chocolate with a hint of aromatic wood. Soft acidity, medium body, mouthfeel that may strike some coffee drinkers as hearty and others as slightly rough. The orangy chocolate carries into the finish.

Lemon, bergamot, lavender and a hint of pungent nut-toned cocoa in the aroma. The cocoa turns more chocolaty and dominates the flowers and citrus in the cup. Gently penetrating acidity, lightly syrupy mouthfeel and a deep, gently rich finish.
