Review: Light Roast, Whole Flavor - I'm not really a big coffee aficionado so I can't personally attest to the flavor profile. I did not see a roast date on my package which many people commented on in their reviews. The beans were not dried and shriveled up like on other reviews. I used 2 cups of beans which wasn't even half the bag, so hopefully this bag is good for a month of use in a 1 person/1.5 cups per day household. I mostly got this as a way to stop paying for the canned harbucks coffees in the stores which are absurdly costly and take time out of my week to get. 10$/mo is a lot better than 90$ for the cans. The cold brew did not produce a black color which shocked my coworker, but the flavor was very high after a short 11 hour brew. The flavor is significant dulled after a shot of milk and vanilla. Both my taste testers thought the coffee was great. Coffee grounds are great for composting (green material) and your coffee bean grinder can also grind dried disinfected eggshells.
Review: delicious - I've been brewing this in my Aeropress for a while now, and it's become a favorite. this is a lovely coffee -- velvety smooth, slightly sweet, creamy flavor with perfect notes of brightness. it's not too dark, not too acidic, not too *anything.* deep without bitterness, crisp without too much acidity. very quaffable! medium roast, great packaging, no woody, dank or off-notes. the bag seals back up easily. check the roasting date when you get yours to make sure it's fresh (although I think the kinks have been ironed out here). grind right before brewing. I think you'll be happy.

### ⭐ Nearly 3-Month-Old Roast — Not Acceptable for Intelligentsia Brand
*by V***Y on February 7, 2026*

I am a huge fan of Intelligentsia and consider it one of the best coffee brands on the market. I regularly buy Black Cat Classic directly from Intelligentsia coffee shops in Los Angeles and have done so for years. One of the reasons I love this brand is their serious approach to roasting quality — especially their stance on not burning coffee, which is something many mass-market brands get wrong. Anyone who takes coffee seriously knows that roast date matters more than expiration date. Intelligentsia baristas themselves consistently emphasize that beans should ideally be consumed between 10 and 30 days after roasting for optimal flavor. I’ve personally seen Intelligentsia shops discard beans that exceed this window. Unfortunately, the bag I received from Amazon tells a very different story. The roast date on my Black Cat Classic is November 16, 2025 (photo attached). That makes these beans nearly three months old at the time of delivery. This is well beyond what Intelligentsia considers acceptable in their own retail locations. The result? My morning coffee tasted flat, watery, and lifeless — barely resembling what Black Cat Classic normally delivers. This is not the product experience Intelligentsia is known for, and it’s deeply disappointing to receive something that would never be sold in their own cafés. If this is the official Intelligentsia store on Amazon, selling coffee roasted over 30 days ago seriously damages the brand’s reputation. Anyone who is okay with stale beans can buy Starbucks or Dunkin’. People buy Intelligentsia precisely because they care about freshness and quality. I’m disappointed to leave a low rating because I truly love this brand — but selling beans this old is unacceptable for specialty coffee.
