10 oz of water and brew it into the half and half in my thermos. It never gets old having the 2 best coffee roasts always available. The heartwood has a soft woody flavor and the espresso is smooth like the gentleman jack of espresso. I have had lots of other coffees over the years and nothing tops black oak coffee roasters.

I have been searching for a full bodied coffee with a smooth finish and this is the one! Truly the best coffee I have had in a very long time🙏🏻

While the description certainly sounds appealing the reality is that the Orchard blend is roasted dark enough to bring out an ashy flavor and smell in a straight shot. The beans had a light coating of oil 6 days post roast. Seems a shame to take them dark enough to make ashiness/tabacco the primary lingering flavor after drinking a shot. Lowering the shot temp helps but nothing is going to completely remove the ashy taste.

Excellent!
