Full-bodied and well-rounded, this blend produces consistently sweet shots of espresso Ingredients 100% Arabica Coffee Directions We recommend starting with a 1:18 coffee-to-water ratio, which provides an excellent total extraction level and maximizes flavor pulled out of the ground coffee. For our blends we recommend either a pour over or a automatic drip home machine. We recommend a grind size 5 or 6 or if you are grinding at home mimic the size of Morton Coarse Kosher Salt. Safety Warning Contains caffeine. Not recommended for pregnant women or individuals sensitive to caffeine. Review: The Coffee That Finally Broke My Dunkin’ and Starbucks Habit - I’ve been buying Intelligentsia Black Cat Analog for quite a while now, and that alone says a lot. Most coffees come and go, but this one has become my regular morning espresso. For years, I stopped at Dunkin’ and later Starbucks. Once I started making this at home with my Breville espresso machine, I found myself looking forward to my morning coffee even more. These days, I’d rather make a shot of this than make a coffee run. The flavor is rich, smooth, and balanced without tasting burnt or bitter. It consistently produces a beautiful crema and makes a coffee-shop-quality espresso at home. What surprised me most is that I don’t feel like I’m settling by staying home. I genuinely prefer the taste of this coffee, and I’ve been buying far fewer coffees out as a result. Pros * Rich, smooth flavor * Excellent crema * Consistently fresh beans * Great for home espresso Cons * More expensive than grocery-store coffee If you’re a regular Dunkin’ or Starbucks customer and have an espresso machine at home, this coffee is worth trying. It’s one of the few I’ve purchased repeatedly because I genuinely enjoy it more than most coffee-shop espresso drinks 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. ## Features - Contains one (1) 12 Ounce Bag of Intelligentsia Black Cat Analog Espresso Whole Bean Coffee. - Direct Trade: Our commitment to direct trade allows us to cut out unnecessary importers and exporters, and enables us to truly partner with our growers to bring you the sweetest coffees in the world - How to Brew: We recommend starting with 6oz water for every 9.5g of coffee (about 2 tbsp), which provides excellent extraction and maximizes flavor.

The coffee arrived, the "best by" date is 4 months away, so.. not super fresh but not expired. Then I made a couple pots.. I love it! I'd give it an A, definitely. No complaints, wonder how much better it would be if it were fresh. I'm considering making it a go to favorite. ## Frequently Bought Together - Intelligentsia Coffee, Medium Roast Whole Bean Coffee - Black Cat Analog Espresso 12 Ounce Bag - Stumptown Coffee Roasters, Medium Roast Whole Bean Coffee - Hair Bender 12 Ounce Bag with Flavor Notes of Citrus and Dark Chocolate - Blue Bottle Whole Bean Organic Coffee, Espresso, Dark Roast, 12 Ounce bag (Pack of 1) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/724356226-whole-bean-coffee-medium-roast-black-cat-analog-12-ounces](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/724356226-whole-bean-coffee-medium-roast-black-cat-analog-12-ounces) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
