It may be a dark roast. However, there is no bitterness whatsoever. Having a freshly warmed cup of this roast. Is as smooth as a twilight dream. Can’t wait to tryout another bag. I’m sure it’ll be just as good!

I’m still searching for my ideal coffee from Black Oak. I should have read the fine print that Black Bart is a blend of three different roasts. To me, the lighter roasts are dominant. So, this review is about my personal taste preference and expectations. The coffee reflects quality and care all along, just not the profile I was seeking.

I have a reason to wake up in the morning. The first thing I do is fire up the Jura and then I begin to wake up... BB is the coffee I wanted to be when I grew up, smooth and sweet. I first encountered Black Oak coffee in Rohnert Park at Chila-Killa and drove directly from there to Healdsburg…it was that good. I now purchase 5lb bags online because I live in SoCal but I would drive the 8 hrs if I had to.

Black Bart is everything I love about a great cup of coffee - rich, complex, flavorful coffee that brews exceptionally well with.a Breville Precision Drip Machine. Another factor that I like is that I don't have to use a ton of coffee to get a flavorful, satisfying cup, as Black Bart has a strong sharpness (def not bitter) that really shines through! This is my new house coffee! Bravo Black Oak!
