8th & Roast

My go to place for beans to feed my espresso machine. Not perfect due to slight consistency issues but not sure Nashville has a better roaster than this one either. Ill give them five stars when they start putting "roasted on" dates on their bags of beans. EDIT: WE HAVE ROASTED DATES! I've been getting these bags at whole foods now and they have roasted dates. Crema easily fell from their first place spot to these guys IMO. Started with their staple, sunflower espresso, and have moved to French Occupation which seems to be more stable. Both good but without dates on the bags I can't determine how much is variation in time consumed from the roast dates. French Occupation is quite good lately - almost tempted to say delicious. EDIT: with roasted dates now I can tell the inconsistencies are slight but consistent with the dates. For example if I get 3 bags roasted on 2-20 then they pretty much all taste the same, and if I get bags roasted on 2-27 they may taste a little different but those pretty much all taste the same. So there is definitely some variation in the roasting batch to batch but French occupation is still my favorite. I drink this every day and I have for so long now but I enjoy the critique and can detect the subtlety of different roasts week to week. Still my go-to- coffee.
