I've been trying darker roasts of beans for years, and they all seen to have either a burnt bitter taste, or some a citrusy twang that is just so wrong. Istanbul is just perfect. It's dark, but with a hint of cocoa flavor and very smooth and mellow....just perfect! Everyone I make it for just loves it.
Good solid roast for the morning. Reminds me of Yesplz roast, but Prague is consistent form week to week so I know what I'm getting. Good value, found my favorite.
Subscribed to mistobox for a while, and they're good, but random selections aren't my bag. Love the reliability of your roasts and delivery schedule. Thanks.
Milan roast is perfect with my DeLonghi La Specialista -- I'm pulling shots morning, before lunch, and mid-afternoon lull. Great roast guys, keep it up.
I haven't been to Milan yet, but I did visit Venice and loved the espresso out on St. Mark's square. Your Milan reminds me of the great coffee and music on the piazza.
I never found Peets or Starbucks all that good, seemed burned to me. This Prague roast was a big surprise tbh, didn't realize how much the roast freshness mattered! I think I've been drinking old beans until now lol
Nice roast level, balanced cup with roasted almond, cocoa notes. I was a Trade Coffee subscriber and I prefer buying direct from the roaster without a mddle man, and getting exactly what I like every shipment. Prague fits the bill.
Definitely right off the roast days before it arrived, very nice aroma. Recommend waiting a week for the Istanbul beans to evolve and let off the CO2. 👍
Bought and loved your Milan espresso, really reminds me of our time in Italy! Just picked up a monthly subscription for my son in Seattle so he can taste a bit of Italy too.
