| How Does it Compare? | Crew: Tasting Notes Tough As Nails Blend is a big favorite around here! Described as 'so potent you can catch a caffeine buzz from the aroma alone!' A medium dark roast with plenty of visible oils. Rich earthy, grassy and smoky aromas. Surprisingly mild taste, with smoky notes of chicory, grass and almonds.

- Packs a punch; tastes amazingReview by Early Riser

This coffee has been an instant hit at our office consisting of a dozen early risers (with night owl tendencies). We've been utilizing our French press for the few months and everyone's been taking turns bring in their favorite, fresh ground coffees. Let's just say that after Tough As Nails was brought in 3 weeks ago, we haven't switched for a reason. Strong, bold, balanced, and as highly recommended as they come. Not quite at the same price point as the larger coffee makers, but as expected being a smaller company. (Posted on 10/7/2014)Quality Price Value - Great selectionReview by Tom

I've been a coffee connoisseur for years. From small batch single origin boutique roasters, to the heavy hitters in the industry. I've had coffees from all over the world and typically lean towards east Africa and Indonesia - but this has to be one of the best if not the best dark roast I've ever had.Price Value Quality
Beans are dark and oily. They grind well, but tend to stick in the hopper of my burr grinder more than other beans I usually enjoy (I'm sure due to their oiliness). This blend smells great in the bag, and after grinding.
It does not seem syrupy to me, and the roaster describes. But it is very dark, smooth, and has no bitterness. It's flavor is complex and satisfying. I could drink it at any time and it pairs well with deserts and cigars. This coffee is quickly becoming one of my all time favorites.
The only thing that could ruin a cup of Tough as Nails would be if you added sugar or creamer to cover up it's exceptional taste and smoothness! (Posted on 5/10/2014) - Good coffeeReview by Val

This is best when used for espressos as it was originally intended. I tried it in my Technivorn MM and it wasn't as flavorful.Quality Value Price

Awesome coffee! Honestly it well done. Well balance and deep complexion, bold but not bitter. Hard to find better. Also it has the date the coffee was roasted, (I wish this was required to be on all coffee bags). It was great in french press, espresso, and even drip. It really came to life in the press and espresso though! Enjoy!Quality Value Price
