Nice haul. I really liked the PNG from them.
Just added this machine to my collection, and using Lavazza Top Class capsules:
Wife tells me we tried both ^^^ (she is right). I need a dark roast. As I got older my hair lighter and coffee much darker
On top of that, now just a dash of organic skim milk and never any sugar, a complete reversal from decades ago.
Anyway, Amazon still out of stock for the 2Lb Dark Roast.
Giving this a try. Will arrive next week and hopefully try it by the end of that week as we use up the Amazon brand. I dont like paying more for fancy packaging, I hope the coffee is as good as the package.
I have tried others of Copper Moon in the past hopefully this one lives up to my expectations.

Which caps are those????? Proprietary looks like? Only Lavazza? Any roasters (others) in work?
To me the way its made is very important.
Yes, they are proprietary capsules, they are Lavazza BLUE. Because I already own three machines from the BLUE series, I figured what the heck, let me add to my collection
I'll never use the milk based drink options, but I like the look of the machine and the price was right. Further, AFAIK, the only other compatible caps for Lavazza BLUE are available from Bristot and Kimbo, but they are much hard to find in Canada and I don't bother looking for them. From Lavazza, Top Class is my favourite blend.
Lavazza BLUE machines will also accept their other, Lavazza Expert series caps, from the Classy series of machines.
Just picked up a bag of this. We shall see if it is anything worth talking about.
Which model is this? Can't seem to find it on their website...

Don’t think I have tried it!
Everyone on the east coast seems to have it. You can order it through WM as I do.
They must sell a lot of it as the stock is always fresh. BTW do not get from Amazon.
I finally worked my way through 6lbs of mediocre Costco beans. This one is a nice daily drinker blend roasted on the lighter side. A big improvement compared to what l have been drinking. It's from a small micro roaster l heard about in r/pourover. I grinded between 4 and 5 on my ode 2 and used Hario Switch.

I’ll have to keep them in mind, thanks.
My search for fresh and high quality but well-priced beans is never ending.
They seem to specialize in the light roast single origin coffees that you often discuss here. This is my 2nd order from them. S&W is the only other place l have ordered from online.
Review of Papua New Guinea Nebilyer Valley
This coffee is part of my regular subscription where each month I receive a different coffee from a small estate somewhere in the world. The coffee is processed in small batches and is only available for a short time.
While these beans are described as a dark roast 'd consider them more as a dark medium roast. In any case, they're not quite as dark as many of Peet's dark roasts.
The coffee brewed up very nicely in the French press, and provide a good quantity and quality of crema. I've had coffee with a greater amount of crema, but this was certainly more than adequate.
There are definite notes of chocolate in this brew ... a subtle but noticeable underlying tone of dark chocolate ... not quite, but close to a bitter-sweet bite. Very nice ... not at all overwhelmng but defititely a presense. I thought I detected some blueberry or other fruity presence as a note way below the chocolate. This is not an "in-your-face" coffee but one with definte and clearly defined flavor notes, most noticeable when sipped and savored rather thn drunk down quickly.
The addition of a little bit of sugar might be nice and might enhance this brew. I'm guessing as Igenerally don't add sweetener to my coffee, but I will with my net cup. Just a skosh. Milk or cream might overwhelm the background notes, but IMO it may be worth a try.
Overall, a very satisfying cup.

McDonald’s just added this to the menu here in Canada for a limited time and I’m anxious to try it! The location I went to yesterday didn’t have it yet though but I will make it my mission to find it in the next few days
