I am looking for current reports rather than a greatest-hits list from five years ago. I am in Sweden, so shipping time and how the coffee arrives matter almost as much as the tasting notes. Recent bags first, please.

Recent Sweden report: my last order arrived within the normal window for domestic/import delivery and the roast date was recent enough that I still rested it before brewing. The useful part was consistency across two bags, not one spectacular cup.

Also in Sweden, but my order was a few months ago, so treat this as older evidence. Shipping was fine and the coffee opened up after about two weeks. I would still want a newer report before subscribing. Hope that helps.

Foreign and older report, so this belongs lower in the pile. The coffee itself was excellent, but transit changed the resting window enough that my recipe notes are probably not portable to your order.

Please say roast date when you post a roaster review. ‘Fresh’ has become an adjective with no legal guardian.

I would rather know which coffee you finished than which bag photographed well.
