I feel like writing the cover, but that's probably a bad idea, right?
I don't know, buddy. I tried every possible method to get something out of it, but either I don't know enough about coffee yet, or this coffee just isn't any good. Neither the V60 nor the AeroPress worked, and the coffee is undrinkable. It's bitter, heavy, and I can't detect any flavor notes in it. If anyone has a tried-and-true recipe, bring it on. I love KMEN—I’m not giving up on them—but this just isn’t for me.

A strong bitterness that overpowers the fruity notes

Extremely dark roast.
No matter what I did, I couldn't get anything out of her.

I had really high expectations for this coffee. The beans seemed very dark compared to other filter coffees. The taste is also too bitter. I can't detect any pineapple or coconut water in it. I'm sorry to say this because I was really looking forward to it, but as soon as I opened it, I knew it wasn't going to be OK.

I have had Nestor many times and I know that almost every roastery pushes development to the limit. I remember that even Chroast had this coffee with traces of oil on the surface, but this is probably the first roastery where the coffee has been really shiny since the first opening, and it really affects the taste. If you like clear coffees (clarity), you will almost never escape the aftertaste of burnt wafers, which is a great pity, as the first impression of the coffee can be quite pleasant acetic/phosphoric acidity, but then it twists your mouth into bitterness :D In any case, for those who still managed to get the coffee, I recommend a very quick draw down and avoiding flat bed drippers. At most, Orea V4 with apex and perhaps kafec filters...

Nice packaging, I'll definitely give Kmenu another chance because I think they have some of the most interesting coffees on offer, I'll just play it safer next time.
My first coffee from Kmen, and unfortunately, it didn't appeal to me at all, but it's also my first Indonesian coffee, so I can't compare it to anything else.
Too dark for me
I was expecting something a little funky from carbonic maceration, but you can hardly tell.

I can't get anything interesting out of the V60.

An interesting idea
For those who like to experiment and enjoy sour coffees
Personally, I didn't like the artificial taste.

rozhodně zajímavý chuťový profil, unikátní
chuťový profil ani aroma mi nesedly, aroma na první nádech připomínalo zápach, který v ohrožení vydávají některé druhy hmyzu, jakmile jsem tam tohle ucítil, už to nešlo odcítit
