El Diablo Blend
A dark roast with a fruity edge: dark chocolate, cherry and raisin. The blend pulls from Guatemala, Burundi and Rwanda. Intelligentsia recommends it for drip and pour-over, so this is a filter coffee first.
Pick it if dark chocolate and raisin sound good to you.
Best for Drip drinkers who like dark roasts with fruit
See El Diablo Blend →French Roast Coffee
A French roast with cherry and lemon in the notes is not what most people expect. Dark-roasted washed Colombian, with chocolate too, and Volcanica recommends drip and pour-over. Dark, with cherry and lemon listed next to the chocolate.
Pick it if lemon and chocolate sound good to you.
Best for Dark-roast drinkers brewing drip or pour-over
