Anyone tried "The Roasterie" espressos?

I've tried a few of them (Super Tuscan, Organic, Gotham) not recently enough to say anything useful. Just wanted to let you know that they ship free over $40 ( I buy coffee for drip there) and right now have a 10% off sale on coffee - I don't know if I'm supposed to post coupon codes, but if you don't mind signing up for the newsletter I think you'd get it.

I think there have been reviews of Super Tuscan here. Coffee Review liked the Organic Espresso but that was a while back.

Good luck.

I live in Kansas City and can pick this up all over. I actually just bought some Organic Espresso last night, it's pretty good. Very fruity at the start, cherries and grapefruit and then starts to smooth out. It ends with dark chocolate wrapped in grapefruit. Not bad at all.

They also have a Euro Style Espresso which smells like tobacco and citrus with a fairly uncomplicated taste. Cherries maybe. Finishes OK, not great, but tastes pretty good. The Seattle Style Smooth with a hint of nutmeg. Very easy going, maybe a little boring, but tastes pretty good.

In general I like PTs better, but the Roasterie isn't bad.
