Solid good coffee, tastes very balanced, not too acidic or dry tasting, the fragrance, nothing really

Not outstanding – I’ll forget about it in a week, just your standard coffee, it was average, flavor

Descriptions:
A good, hearty coffee, with smokey, woody notes and a nutty aftertaste. A classy and delicious cup indeed.

Has nice flavor. Not acidic or overpowering. Comes together on the palate very nicely. I feel that customers would really like this coffee. Has a nice modest smokey flavor.

This coffee was average. Good, but not memorable.

Strange cup; smells of leeks and the woods, a sporting goods store and fresh rubber balls. Tastes like pines, mistletoe and gin. The body is watery and holds a medium weight. The woody aftertaste annoys me.

Fragrance of green veggies and sourdough bread. Roasted veggies in aroma very bright almost stringent flavors and a quick diminishing taste.

A nice easy drinking coffee. Not so much stands out, but not bad either. A good gateway for a Dunkin Donuts drinker.
