Review: Smooth, Bold, and Perfectly Balanced – My Favorite Everyday Espresso - Kicking Horse Coffee has earned a permanent place in my kitchen. I’ve tried countless espresso blends over the years, but this one strikes the perfect balance of smoothness, richness, and aroma. The flavor is bold without being bitter. It's a complex mix of chocolate, fruit, and roasted depth that tastes like something you’d get from a specialty café. What really stands out compared to other coffees I’ve bought on desertcart is its consistency. Every bag I’ve ordered has been fresh, aromatic, and evenly roasted, which says a lot about Kicking Horse’s quality control. Whether I use it in my espresso machine or French press, it produces a thick, velvety crema and a satisfying cup every single time. It’s also worth mentioning that this coffee is organic and fair trade, which makes it an easy choice ethically as well as flavor-wise. For anyone who enjoys café-quality coffee at home, Cliff Hanger Espresso delivers a premium experience without the café markup. Great color and good acidity too.
Review: Great for espressos, macchiatos & cappucinos, a little weak for lattes - The short & sweet: Pros: good quality, fresh beans. Con: might be too sweet for people that like espresso I am a big espresso fan and usually aim to try new flavors out there. Kicking Horse has been always on my mind when purchasing beans but I can't recall the last time I actually did. So, when I ran out of my personal batch, I decided to give them a try. I love medium roasts, although most of the ones I get are usually light because I prefer the bitter/acidity taste for my specialty drinks (mix with milk). Nevertheless, I wanted to try the Cliff Hanger medium roast and see if I would like it. Beans: the beans are oily and fresh in the packaging, and smell delicious Espresso: straight up pulled shot, the Cliff Hanger is aromatic and gives off (to me & my nose) a light taste of dark chocolate. It is sweet to the taste and acidity levels are minimum. Macchiato: I think this is where this bean shines! A macchiato with the Kicking Horse tastes heavenly! There is a sweet spot for any bean and I think this is it! Cappuccino: I do enjoy sweet cappuccinos, but do have to say the coffee is a little distant in this mixture Latte: I feel like this blend is too "smooth" for lattes and gets lost in the milk Overall: I think the Kicking Horse is a great bean if you want to use it for espressos, macchiatos or cappuccino. If you are an avid latte drinker and like the coffee taste, this might be on the lighter side for you.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use these beans in my Breville Barista Express with attached conical burr grinder (BES870XL) or will they ruin it with how oily they are?**
A: I didn’t know this was an issue. I have the same machine and same coffee and haven’t had a problem in six months of ownership. You think they made a burr that can’t handle oily beans??

**Q: To those of you who didn't like this roast, can you please recommend something that you like better?**
A: I've tried 3 roasts from Kicking Horse, Three Sisters was spot on if you like bold flavor but smoother roast. Beans appear to be perfect blend of dark & medium colors.

**Q: Is this for espresso machines brewing only?**
A: No, I use it in my drip coffee maker and it's wonderful.

**Q: Is the dark roast good for french press?**
A: That's why a dark roast is often called French roast, it's made for a French press!
