Blackout

A full-bodied mix of Italian roasted beans from South America and French roasted beans from Central America, this blend originated as a deep and dark roast for Y2K—and it’s become a customer favorite, well into the 21st Century.

Flavor Notes:  Rich + Sweet + Earthy

Roast Level:  Dark

Coffee By Design presents Blackout, a blend crafted to deliver a profile defined by its rich, sweet, and earthy characteristics. When evaluating coffees with these specific sensory markers, it is helpful to consider how roasting techniques influence the final cup; darker or more developed roasts often emphasize deep, grounding notes, moving away from the bright acidity found in lighter profiles. To better understand how these descriptors fit into the broader spectrum of coffee evaluation, you can consult the flavor wheel to identify the specific nuances within the earthy and sweet categories.

As a staple offering from Coffee By Design, this selection highlights the roaster's commitment to creating a balanced, full-bodied experience. Whether enjoyed as a morning ritual or a mid-day pick-me-up, the profile of Blackout is designed for those who appreciate a traditional, robust cup that prioritizes depth and sweetness over delicate or fleeting aromatics.
