What customers say: Praised for rich, smooth dark chocolate and caramel notes, it pairs exceptionally well with milk for lattes and espresso. Some find winey berry undertones too subtle or the dark roast too intense.

Disappointing taste, lacks character
Jason L. · 2025-11-22 · Verified purchase
This coffee was incredibly disappointing. I was expecting rich dark chocolate and berry notes, but all I tasted was a generic, somewhat burnt flavor. There was no real character to it, and it definitely didn't blend well with milk as promised; it just tasted watered down. I bought the 2lb bag and regret the purchase.

Not quite for me

The flavor was a bit too subtle for a dark roast; I prefer something bolder.

Really good, but not robust
Natalie V. · 2025-12-21
This is a really good, smooth coffee, and the dark chocolate notes are lovely. It mixes very well with milk. However, I was anticipating a more robust, bolder flavor for a dark roast, and it's a bit softer than I usually prefer.
★★★★☆
Good for lattes, subtle

It's good for lattes, very smooth, but the flavors are subtle.

Fantastic deep flavor
Garrett H. · 2026-03-03
This Monarch blend has a fantastic deep flavor that is exactly what I look for in a dark roast. The chocolate notes are prominent and satisfying. It brews consistently well in my French press.
