Let customers speak for us
from 46 reviewsExactly as advertised, a nice medium roast coffee with a delicious roasted nut flavor and hints of cocoa and caramel. Smells amazing and excites me every time I open the bag.
Loved the Twin Lights Espresso beans - my morning latte was delicious! Coffee was smooth and rich with no bitterness. Good job!
I love the ritual of grinding the beans, getting the coffeemaker ready with water and filter, pouring the ground beans into the filter, then experiencing the wafting aroma of the coffee as it brews. Then, ahhh - that amazing cup of coffee!!!
We have fallen hard for your coffee, we were using Peets and thought it was great, then I ordered your beans from North of Boston and now we can never go back! We have had the 4 O'clock in the morning, which I am mad over.... this is just the best morning cup(s) to get the day going, then rest of day is Iced Hannah Jumper, have not yet made the espresso, still trying to figure out what to make it in, without having to purchase expensive machine...
will let you know when we try it, Thanks so much for producing such a great Product.
I love the aroma when I first open the bag of Motif Morning Blend, it intensifies while the beans grind and as it perks, till it culminates in a happy morning on my tongue. I really appreciate what you do for my day. Thanks!
I just ordered and received within a few days four bags of Motif roasters coffee. One each of the medium roast and two dark roasts. After much internal debate, I decided to open the Dogtown roast first. So good. The whole house smells amazing as it brews. I use a Wolf drip coffeemaker and swear by it. Expensive, but worth it. Thank you Motif!!!
This Tanzanian Peaberry roast is the perfect morning coffee for me - just the slightest hint of baking chocolate in the aftertaste. It's a shame that it's a limited edition right now, but that just makes me savor it more!
Amazing coffee and a great tribute to two amazing people
Love this roast for my cold brew, highly recommend!
Great rich coffee flavor, the second cup was better than the first.
Unique flavor, Bill said the 2nd cup was stronger than the first. Sentimental brew.
We need a new grinder!
Recommendations?
Love it
Really good! I brewed a pot with a few friends over. They all said, wow that's wicked good! They said "Did you get that at a fancy coffee shop". I said no, got them at motif roasters. I am now obsesst, I order online.
Best coffee around. And the service is excellent!
Dogtown dark roast is our favorite coffee. Never disappoints.
