"Decent cup of coffee but nothing wowed me about this one. Only got to try it once via a small sample pack. I generally like a lighter roast coffee. "
"Great taste, Well Balanced, and smooth cup of coffee."
"It is obvious why this coffee is award-winning! Robust, yet well-balanced. Not too dark, and not "toasty or toasty." The
caramel notes are prevalent, but are balanced nicely with some nuttiness and a hint of
cocoa. Truly a great coffee. We use an expensive drip coffee maker hat blooms the coffee 1st. We grind the fresh beans right before brewing, using a very good burr grinder, and we measure the beans by grams. "
"This is one of my top favorite! Smooth, and excited for that next cup of coffee in the morning"
"My husband prefers a light drip coffee and I usually drink lattes and this blend keeps us both happy. "
"One of my favorites! Good flavor, could taste the
caramel. Would order again."
"This is one is lovely reminder of a how comforting a coffee blend can be!"
"This
medium roast is just a tiny bit sweet with toasty notes. It’s a wonderful addition to your morning routine!"

"This is a smooth, balanced, full flavor cup for sure! It's creamy, with hints of bittersweet
chocolate and a slight
nutty note. Was pleasently surprised by this one!"
"You really can taste the complexity. Really shines in the nuttiness. "

"Absolutely delicious from the
caramel aroma to the
nutty taste. Can't wait to brew again tomorrow morning!"
"This is pretty good. It's on the dark side for being a
medium roast. I get bittersweet
chocolate, but not
caramel or butter. I get some smokiness. Not super acidic. IDK; I have tried several roasts from Tony's but don't really love any. This is one of the better ones."
"This is my new favorite! Roasty and
chocolate-y, just like the description says. Will definitely be ordering again!"
"Please share with me who the owners are of each of these companies mentioned in this article/advertisement/ promotion/Etc. so that I may write directly to them about my ideas."
"Would be the absolutely perfect winter cup of coffee. I brewed with a
chemex pour over. If you enjoy strong but not too dark- this is the PERFECT bean for you."
"This is my absolute favorite flavor of all the subscriptions that I have received. So good!"
"I really wanted to love this one. I’m a huge mocha fan, and drink my coffee black, and this one kind of misses the mark for me. It’s good, but it’s not great. Not nearly as much
chocolate flavor as I hoped. Would have liked to taste more
caramel as well. "
"Subtle flavor, wanted to taste the
caramel more. But a very solid everyday coffee"

"Extraordinary…..flavors are very subtle with a nice long finish"
"My newest favorite! It really is smooth, but bold enough not to feel overwhelming. I can't wait to have this on a raining morning. (I take mine with a cube of sugar and a splash of milk)"
"The coffee is lovely and smooth, with just the right amount of roast. Wonderful. Just ordered a bag of Guatemalan and look forward to receiving it."
"It doesn’t seem fresh roasted, 18gr and no crema… where is this coffee from? Origin? "
"Very rich and yummy taste - love it! "
"enjoyed the rounded roast and flavor of it. Would do it again."
"This is my third bag of this coffee. Perhaps it just doesn't translate to
pourover? I didn't get any of the flavors noted in the profile no matter what grind size, ratio, or water temp I used. I'm using the 4:6 method and it's easy to adjust to bring out different flavors, but at best, this coffee somehow overextracts and underextracts at the same time. I even ran my grounds through a 200 micron filter to remove fines, and still got sour notes brewing at 205°F. I'm putting more elbow grease into this brew than most coffee shops. I do hope that others have better results, but I cannot recommend this coffee based on my experience. It tastes overly sour, and somehow overly bitter at the same time, which should be two different sides of the spectrum. I tried using this last bag for
cold brew and to my disappointment the entire batch turned out sour after a 22-hour refrigerator immersion. I now refuse to buy any coffee from Tony's, as they don't seem to know how to cup their own coffee. Perhaps this turns out fine in a Mr. Coffee but I just don't understand how people are getting good flavor out of this. This is the only roast I haven't been able to dial in for a single noted flavor profile. "
"I would imagine that everyone would like this coffee. It had a very good taste."
"I received this in a sampler box and had to order a full sized bag to enjoy it for even longer. Great coffee!"
"Wow, fantastic coffee. Enough body to know you're drinking coffee, with a great balance of flavors."
"The deep
chocolate and
caramel notes are really prominent without being overpowering. Well-balanced, full-bodied and a bit on the
decadent side. One of my new favorites along with Dark Side. "
"Great morning coffee and very balanced with a smooth buttery flavor on it. Would buy it again."
"Tony does it again! I was so excited for the
chocolate hints, and it is nice and dark."
"Having read all the reviews and it getting the "Roaster of the Year' award, I was very disappointed in this coffee. It tasted much more bitter (almost burnt) than expected, and I got no notes of
chocolate or
caramel, even with whole milk added. Below average IMHO :("
"Bought this one after trying a different Tony’s roast in my subscription box. The description is spot on. It’s rich without being too dark and roasty. It’s smooth with a hint of
caramel, but not overly sweet. Happy I got the big bag on this one!"
"BeanBox has lots of great coffees, but Tony’s Cafe Carmelita is my favorite morning coffee. Perfection in a cup."

"A friend gifted me the Tony’s Café Carmelita as a Christmas gift. I was thankful to my friend of course; but to be honest in the beginning I didn’t have great expectations because the label says it is a
medium roast, and I like strong coffee. However. I was happily surprised when I tried it. It has a full-bodied taste, but not only that. The blend of flavors is delicious I placed an order immediately. It has become my favorite. I love it! ♥️ Great quality coffee ☕️ "
"Fast delivery,
cleverly packaged. Smells great. Can’t wait to try it!"
"I loved this roast so much that this is my second bag!"
"All I have to say is WOW! Bean box's coffee selection for us always tends to get better during this time of year, but this one blew my husband and I away. Smooth and rich. Definitely hoping for a large bag of this in my stocking this year!"
"This coffee has all of my favorite flavors in a cup! The tastes of
chocolate and
caramel are finished with a wonderful smooth buttery flavor. I will definitely order more so that I can enjoy this coffee all season long."
"Oh my gosh! This coffee is amazing. A stronger brew, but still very smooth and luscious, with all of the notes of
cocoa and
caramel with the buttery finish advertised. I will definitely be ordering this one again."
"We are excited to try this coffee. Love the variety we can get from Bean Box! Amazing coffee and great customer service, if needed."
"Really enjoyed this one. Slight sweetness with a very smooth finish. Would definitely recommend to friends "

"True to its description, this coffee is smooth as silk with very low acidity. It was a God-send! I was soooo fed up with my last batch bought from a different source...AND I got KILLER Mexican
chocolate caramels as a tease in the box: OMG, I never eat sugar or candy and this
caramel with the coffee put me over the moon! I know where I will be shopping for Christmas!!!"
