We enjoy dark-roast coffee and we live in South Central Indiana. We have a local roaster who we enjoy but we like to try different small roasters and after reading about the great distributor debacle we decided to check out Modest. VERY pleased with “The Dark”. The beans arrived quickly and they were beautiful and so fragrant. We use a French Press and The Dark did not disappoint. We will definitely be reordered. We also appreciate the flat-rate shipping.

Excellent, masterfully roasted coffee. I brewed with a syphon pot, and as espresso. The results were beautiful.

I selected the Uganda – Bugisu coffee because it most closely resembled the roast level of a special edition coffee Modest Coffee created for Awesome Games Done Quick – a speed-running video game marathon for charity. I loved my special AGDQ coffee and I love the Uganda – Bugisu one as well! Typically, I am not a fan of dark roasts because they taste burnt or smoky, but the Uganda – Bugisu is full-flavored and well-balanced. Also, the time it took between ordering the coffee and receiving it was quick, which is always a plus when anticipating a new coffee. I will be ordering more the next time I need a restock of my coffee cabinet.

This stuff is dank. I load my grounds with some cardamom and it comes out divine.

Love this coffee. I am out in Denver and a friend here who used to live in Chicago gifted me some of this and I loved it so much I bought 2 more bags. Highly recommend for dark coffee drinkers!

I was a bit worried about trying this new to me coffee since I don’t usually drink coffee from dark roasted beans. Everything is relative since these beans were about the same color as our previous medium roasted beans. Took sever shot pulls on each of my flat and conical grinders to get the most amount of chocolate flavors. For this coffee I went with the conical grinder to extract a very smooth slightly dark chocolate flavor with minimal if any brightness. Acidity is quite low and the chocolate flavor is wonderfully high. Great for Espresso, Americano, and Cold Coffees.
