## Description

Black Cats thrive under the moonlight, inspiring our new dark roast offering. For those that like a traditional, roast-forward espresso profile presenting richer, more developed sugar notes that limit fruit acidity. Expect dark roast flavors that stand up to all types of milk drinks and have a heavier body.

Review: Light Roast, Whole Flavor - I'm not really a big coffee aficionado so I can't personally attest to the flavor profile. I did not see a roast date on my package which many people commented on in their reviews. The beans were not dried and shriveled up like on other reviews. I used 2 cups of beans which wasn't even half the bag, so hopefully this bag is good for a month of use in a 1 person/1.5 cups per day household. I mostly got this as a way to stop paying for the canned harbucks coffees in the stores which are absurdly costly and take time out of my week to get. 10$/mo is a lot better than 90$ for the cans. The cold brew did not produce a black color which shocked my coworker, but the flavor was very high after a short 11 hour brew. The flavor is significant dulled after a shot of milk and vanilla. Both my taste testers thought the coffee was great. Coffee grounds are great for composting (green material) and your coffee bean grinder can also grind dried disinfected eggshells.
Review: delicious - I've been brewing this in my Aeropress for a while now, and it's become a favorite. this is a lovely coffee -- velvety smooth, slightly sweet, creamy flavor with perfect notes of brightness. it's not too dark, not too acidic, not too *anything.* deep without bitterness, crisp without too much acidity. very quaffable! medium roast, great packaging, no woody, dank or off-notes. the bag seals back up easily. check the roasting date when you get yours to make sure it's fresh (although I think the kinks have been ironed out here). grind right before brewing. I think you'll be happy.

### ⭐ Coffee is a ghost of what it was.
*by S***E on November 26, 2025*

This brand has been ruined by private equity. This roast is a ghost of what it used to be. It used to be so flavorful and one of the best roasts. I was so proud that it was from the Chicago area. Now its a dark roast whittled down to nothing. It literally tastes like nothing and this new rebranded label is awful! The old one looked so chic. I’m not sure if the roast from Amazon is different from the site itself but this is not it!
