Matchstick - Fireside: Washed, Blend (340g)

Always been hearing that Matchstick makes great coffee. Gave this a try and absolutely blew my mind. I'm doing a pour-over with finer than usual grinds.

As others have said already, this is a dark coffee, but I would think you would buy it because of this. The smoke really shines through here giving it a great body. Excellent on espresso and works well with milk.

More great coffee from Matchstick, it was perfect in the espresso machine as well as through our pour over. Definitely ordering more!

I did not really like this coffee, but it was well out of my normal preferences and I learned that I really do not appreciate smoke in coffee. For people who do, I believe that they will appreciate the very smoke forward flavors. I made it for a few other people who normally drink generic "dark roast" and they all said something to the effect of "this is the best coffee that I've ever tried!" What I will say is that even though I did not like the primary flavor, it is a premium coffee, the toasted marshmallow came through at the end and would have otherwise been quite enjoyable for me.
So, I'm going to give it a 5 star rating based off of their experience, as opposed to mine because I don't believe that it would be fair to give it a marginal score when they achieved what they stated.

A tasty dark roast, we've ordered a couple of times and it's always top-notch!

Great tasting roast! Interested in trying other roasts from Matchstick!

Great tasting dark roast, perfect for those mornings where you don't want a super fruity cup of coffee but still full of flavour!
