I have had A LOT of different coffees, I was a coffee master at Starbucks before that program went away, and of the literally hundreds of different coffees I’ve had, this easily fits into the top 5. It’s definitely not the usual coffee flavor most people are used to, but that’s a good thing. This is a great coffee for people who want something different and special.
I personally make it as espresso but it’s great however you brew it. BE AWARE: This coffee packs a HECK of a punch. There’s a lot more caffeine in this than most coffees so be ready and account for that. If you’re sensitive to caffeine start with a smaller dose than you think you should.
My personal brew procedure on flair 58X:
•25g
•1:2 ratio (25 grams ground coffee, 50 grams espresso out)
•95°C water
•23 seconds pull
Ordered coffee beans somewhere else to save some money and soon realized we had made a mistake. Received our order of Primo a couple of days ago and it is great. Smooth going down and no bitter aftertaste. Thx.

Very good smooth coffees. Tired of the pedestrian coffee in the supermarket. This coffee is a rounded one, not the usual weak and bitter ones. Try it.
As usual the coffee is amazing!! And I am very picky about my coffee.
Just tried out a new coffee from Cortez. It is a light roast and it is very flavorful. I like it almost as much as the Nepal.
This is a good deal for 4 different bags of coffee. Have not tried all 4. The Cameroon Boyo is pretty unique, unlike most naturals that I have tasted. It's more earthy than fruity. It's very smooth and easy to drink. The Red honey is a good coffee but roasted a bit darker than I prefer.
I am just now taking my first sips of the dark roast coffee that I ordered from you...it is simply delicious!!! The flavor is full bodied, smooth and satisfying!!! Keep up the great work Ron and family! :-)
I like coffee and this one in particular is the best I have ever tasted, the flavor, the roast, it is perfect
It was actually so good, and exactly to the description! I loved that it did have a deeper taste in the aromas of a dark roast, but it wasn’t smoky or overly roasted either.
It had a smooth, medium finish but with the richness that you’d expect from a dark roast in the chocolate nuttiness flavor!
Cortez coffee is superb! My partner is obsessed with their decaf! I got their Costa Rica Volcun Peaberry beans and they have made wonderful ice coffee and cold brew! The team is also really nice, knowledgeable, and always ready with the best recommendations!
We loved all three selections. You can taste the difference between each of the three coffees
I've been buying Cortez beans for about 6 years now, and will likely keep doing it for 6 more plus.
I drink espresso. The beans are fresh and the taste is magnificent. Timely shipment!
Much more flavor and depth. Decaf is a best kept secret. It is so good.
Tried the Primo this time and it was excellent. Finally purchased a burr grinder and appreciate the nuances you get in flavor with high quality coffee like this.
