Ahab's Revenge

We get through precisely one 5-pound bag of Ahab’s a month, and consider it a very good value. We are quite particular about exceptional dark coffee, and this blend checks every box. I try new coffees frequently; but this one is our daily go-to blend, and we love it.

I don’t find myself jittery or anxious after several cups; it definitely provides plenty of caffeine, but not in intimidating quantities. If you are sensitive to caffeine, one cup should suffice. If you work in health care, chug away, I say! “If some is good, more is better; and too much is best of all!”

The best coffee I’ve ever had. Period.

Good product. Great price.

I was shocked that I liked this cup of coffee! I have never been a Dark Roast guy, I've always preferred a Light Roast pour over. However, I wanted to try a Coffee with Robusta beans. This was the only one at my local Co-Op and I must say it is delicious! I definitely felt a little caffeine buzz after one cup so I don't need to have more than one cup in the morning, versus my typical 2! Which is nice!

Method!
I did a pour over method, 30g to 18oz of water, which yields me 16oz for drinking with 2 oz of wet coffee grind and filter (I use two filters 1 metal and 1 paper cone) . Temp 205-195F with a beginning 30sec bloom.

Taste!
It's definitely dark! But not flat! It's almost like a 90% cacao chocolate bar. It's very "very" dark chocolate sweet , kinda "smokey" with brighter more bitter tones. Which I like! It also has a good after taste, it lingers but it is subtle.

Plus! The beans are gorgeous! Beautiful shiny "coffee oils" just look gorgeous

Strong, rich, flavorful, satisfying.
