almond milk."

"Not sure if I got a bad batch or what but this coffee was disgusting. Just a really unpleasant, burnt bean taste. This purchase was beyond disappointing. I will grimace my way through the bag but I definitely won’t serve it to guests. "
"Very smooth blend. I'm not usually a fan of lighter roasts, but I loved this one!"

"One of my favorites! Really nice smooth flavor; especially love it on the weekends with breakfast, yum!"
"Taste is so smooth. Process to order was easy. Was a bummer that the $5 credit did not even cover the shipping cost. "

"Light. Smooth. Silky. Sweet. Thick.
nutty. This one hits the spot in the afternoon as a pick me up!"
"A great versatile bean — just the right amount of sweetness for every day. Pairs well with oat milk. "
"The whole family loves this one. I enjoy it with half & half at any time of day, whenever I can take the time to savor a cup. My daughter likes it
iced with cream and sugar. Like the description says, it "tastes like coffee," but you can pick up the flavor notes as well. "
"This blend is incredible with or without cream and sugar. It is bold and pleasing to the taste. This household enjoys it in the mid afternoon."
"Burnt and over roasted beans. Definitely not a light too
medium roast."
"Just received my second bag of Slate Cream and Sugar. This is too good! I have some brewing right now for my
cold brew tomorrow. Can’t wait!"
"Wow and wow! Tried this one over a year ago so wanted to check on the 2022 roast. Seems that Slate how to keep a good thing going! The
chocolate and the
almond notes are still there and amazing! Perfectly smooth and just bold enough. Enjoy!"
"I originally received this coffee in a subscription box. It is truly one of the best, most balanced cups of coffee that I have ever had "
"A coffee to brighten your day. Really nice tasting notes, smooth as could be. Two cups went down like it was nothing!"
"I love getting my coffee every two weeks. It is the best part of my morning!"
"Great crema with rich, sugary flavor. Not my favorite, but definitely high quality!"
"Lovely
caramel flavor. Good balance, not overwhelmingly coffee flavored, subtle flavors of
cocoa compliment the
caramel."
"This is one of my go to coffees!
v60 or
aeropress both bring out a very flavorful cup each having it’s own unique taste. If I had to settle for one coffee this at this moment would be it. "
"My fiancé and I absolutely love this coffee. Got a subscription of it just as we tried around 10 kinda and this was the best. We love a light to
medium roast. I do enjoy creamer in my coffee and no sugar. Great coffee. "
"Worst coffee ever received from Bean Box. It was sent to us by mistake. We usually like Medium and
dark roasts and this is a
light roast. Nevertheless, we decided to try it. We use a very good burr grinder, and a 'top of the line" Breville coffee maker. Technically, it is a "drip" coffee maker, but it blooms the coffee grounds 1st, brews at the perfect brewing temperature and the stainless steel carafe does not rest on a warmer/burner. In other words, best possible way to grind the beans and to brew a full pot of coffee. But nothing helped this coffee!! It was bitter and acidic, with no tasting notes because bitter and acid and basic coffee taste were the only "flavors" that came through. We even tried using 2x the milk and half & half we normally put in our cups. And black, it was truly undrinkable. Seriously no better than the Folgers and Maxwell House pre-ground crud. If you like well-balanced coffees with good flavor and interesting undertones. Stay away from this!"

"Delicious!"
"Never thought the best cup of coffee I've had would be made by me using a
french press but here we are. Seriously the taste, aroma and mouthfeel are unreal - it's smooth,
decadent, perfectly balanced and not bitter. Don't sleep on this blend - buy it"
"On my! Received as a sampler in a gift box. Seriously the BEST coffee I've ever had! So smooth, creamy, yet rich and not bitter! I'm a forever customer now!!"
"Good blend! Very smooth and sweet. Would definitely get again. :) "
"I usually stick to single origins but this blend might just change my mind on that. It was a great cup of "classic" coffee. It was nice and bold with a very pleasant sweetness that reminded me of
brown sugar. "

"Slate Cream & Sugar ~ one of our favorites. Loved the bonus gift with coffee and
chocolate as well!"
"This coffee is consistently exceptional any time of the day with or without cream and sugar. "

"The perfect cup of coffee. If you want just an honest good cup of coffee, this one's for you. "
"The name Cream & Sugar is a bit of an enigma because this coffee is exceptional with cream and sugar but is just a good with only cream or without cream and sugar. So you can enjoy it whatever your frame of mind."
"This is one of my favorite coffee beans that I have ever had. It wasn't too tart like a lot of
light roasts tend to be. It was a pleasant surprise and so flavorful."
"Perfect, flavorful cup. Not too strong or too weak. "
"Delicious. I used it as
espresso and made a cappuccino and it really does have a hint of
chocolate! Not bitter at all, just smooth and delicious. Highly recommend "
"This coffee is so smooth. This was the first coffee I tried and I already ordered a second bag. I've been drinking Maxwell House for as long as I can remember and never really enjoyed coffee. This coffee changed everything! Smooth and simple."
"The label says that this blend "tastes like coffee." I think that's the perfect way to describe this medium brew. It's nothing special, no exciting flavors, I can't taste the
chocolate or
almond. But it's a decent cup of coffee that's pretty smooth. It requires cream and sugar, in my opinion, so perhaps that elucidates its name."
"Is coffee reminds me of wrapping up in a warm blanket. It’s comforting and creamy. Berry notes burst when opening the bag and when brewed seem to enhance the
chocolate notes. Pleasant mouthfeel. Delightful to sip. Made
v60 "
"Decided to make mine as a
pour over as an afternoon pick me up. What a great cup of coffee ☕️! Rich. Smooth. Creamy. Almost like a light dessert that is not too sweet. I’m sure many more cups of this roast are in my near future! A new favorite for sure!"

"Very nice sweetness......not a favorite for me though."
"Excellent flavor and pairs well. Although I wouldn’t add as top 3, it will make it in the rotation. This is a good cup to take as the first cup of the work day. "
"Excellent! Smooth way to start my day. Good to the last sip."
"This is our favorite coffee from Bean Box! Smooth, creamy & delicious. Thre perfect morning pick me up!!"
"It’s my favorite I’ve had from Bean Box so far"
"Was not bad but didn’t really stand out compared to some of the other ones I’ve tried through beanbox. "
"I go back to this coffee time and time again. It's well-balanced, has a good mouthfeel, and very versatile. I usually make a batch in a drip pot, but I've enjoyed it from a
french press and a
chemex in the past, as well. I think it's one of the perfect morning cups."
"This has become a favorite of mine for a morning off. It's a relaxing cup of coffee when I don't need to get up and go."
"It is creamy and smooth which I like. At the very end there is an acid taste which I feel on the sides of my tongue.. My preference is totally smooth. I like Columbia del Campo better."
