Favorite Kaldi's Blend
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
I love this dark roast. Still my favorite of the coffees I have tried from Kaldi's. Just a very good rich dark blend with no bitterness. If you like dark roast coffee, this is The One to order.

Kaldi’s Organic French Roast: A Bold and Balanced Favorite
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
We’ve been drinking Kaldi’s for years but had never tried their French Roast. After trying the Organic French Roast, it was a no-brainer to keep this on the list. It’s now a go-to caffeinated version for our household.
For those who want a deep, rich, and balanced flavor with a little kick, this is it. And it was nice to see there was a fair trade option. It's a staple now, and I highly recommend it.
Side note: This pairs well with the Decaf Highlander Grogg (50/50 split) for a truly decadent experience with a little kick.

Something has changed. The Fair Trade Organic French Roast is different. The smell, taste & ground isn’t the same. I’ve purchased 2 different bags of coffee with different expiration dates & both have changed. I’m so disappointed because my husband loved this coffee.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Best French Roast I’ve had in decades…maybe ever. The fruit notes are balanced into the smokiness of the blend perfectly. The blend is very forgiving at 100°C, but I recommend backing it off the boil just a tad to avoid over-extraction…say 95°C. Makes the perfect traditional café au lait too!

Different Color and Grind - Why?
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
I have only opened 1 bag of my French Roast from the delivery in January but the color is light brown and the grind is much finer than the normal deliveries. Please review and let me know why the change. I am not keen on the finer grind and the light color/grind has affected the taste. thank you, Cheryl Voss

Sweet Spot Blend
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
I've been drinking Kaldi's coffee for over 20 years. This particular blend is my favorite--I've tried all the rest, and this one hits that sweet spot between some wimpy medium roast and the 700, which is a bit too dark, even for me.

Hey Michael, it's great to hear that FTO French is your favorite. We agree that it has an exceptional sweet spot, and with its roast we aim for something robust yet a little elegant too. Enjoy!
