Artizan Coffee Co.

This review will apply only to Artizan's Nespresso compatible pods. I have not visited their location in person.Before I start, I should explain why I'm posting here. The problem is that Artizan clearly curates all reviews submitted to their ecommerce page. Nothing below a 4 star is listed, because they delete the rest. I posted a 1 star review on two of their Nespresso products, Heavenly Project and Stout.. Neither of these reviews ever appeared on the site. Any sort of response from them might have been nice. Their apathy and dishonestly alone is enough to not make me want to do business with them again.Now to the nitty gritty, I was very excited to find an organic, fair trade product for my morning Nespresso fix. I also though compostable pods sounded great. It turns out pods themselves are worthless. Both varieties I reviewed had all the flavor and complexity of a piece of damp cardboard. The issue probably isn't their coffee, but the pods they use. When I pull a shot with a standard Nespresso pod it typically takes 20 to 30 seconds. The Artizan pods ran about half that time. Even worse, the first half of the pull expelled nothing but water!I'm no fool when it comes to coffee as I previously ran several high-end, local coffee shops. My company's gold standard for shot time was 25 seconds. Longer than that espresso starts to taste burnt, shorter it's too bitter. With Artizan's uniquely disastrous 15-second, half-water pods it's flavorless.I bought a fairly significant amount based on their reviews, only to find out they're not accurate. I no longer feel great about compostable pods as they're going in the compost unused. This is not a company I would ever do business with again at any level.Hopefully a few people will read this before spending a bunch of money on dishonestly represented, horrible pods.

I’ve been buying organic Artizan pods for several years now and enjoyed every one of their blends, specially the Cuba Mia one. I purchased this single origin discovery pack because I wanted to see if I could taste the difference between each origin and I was not disappointed, each coffee is very different, delicious and fresh. Also, I’m happy to be supporting a local company like Artizan Coffee who roast and packages their coffee pods here in the US.

I wish I would have looked at the menu vs looking at the photo. I went to this spot, thinking it was a cute, new cafe close to school. Unfortunately, it's just a distributor at a warehouse.
