4 Stars
Above average!
We are consistent in search of great coffee and Kicking Horse checks all the boxes. This dark roast coffee strikes a great balance between its flavors while avoiding the bitterness some dark roast are known for. We’ve made it with a French press and a Auto Drip machine. If using the drip, we recommend a finer grind with 2.5 tablespoons of coffee per 10 cups of water. If using the press, we recommend a medium grind and about 2 tablespoons of coffee to 8 cups of water. You can adjust to personal taste from there. The flavor description is spot on. We expected a bit more “kick” from this blend, but what punch it does have is evident. The roasting appears even across all the beans thus producing a beautiful dark brown/black shiny product with great aroma. We did note just a hint of acidity, but very acceptable and below normal for this type bean/roast. The dominate flavor is dark chocolate (mocha) but is well balanced with a Smokey sweetness. It is definitely a “morning” coffee and we rate it 4.0 out of 5.
