I ran into this guy at the Greenwood Farmer’s Market and I was definitely intrigued when I saw his coffee and even more so when he informed me that he roasted the beans himself, the evening before the market.  I worked for Starbuck’s for a little over 5 years and my husband works for them as well, and he is a coffee master, so we are big coffee lovers.  I loved Darrin’s story and I though it was super cool that he was roasting his own coffee right here in Indy.  I had to try a bag, so I purchased the Indonesian Sumatra.  We ground the coffee the next morning and prepared it in our french press.  It was so great!!!  You could really taste the earthiness of this coffee and it was so smooth; otherwise, a great “cuppa coffee.”  It wasn’t too strong.  It was just right.  My husband said that he actually preferred it over the Starbucks Sumatra and I definitely did.  I love the fact that we can support a local business in Indy by buying our coffee locally.

Wonderful coffee, amazing customer service! I am 100% hooked, I drink different Darrin’s blends each morning (and evening….) . They have a variety of blends each offering a distinct coffee drinking experience. My personal favorite is the Dolce Vita Blend, but the Mandingo Warrior Blend, and Darrin’s Blend are also both amazing. I look forward to their Haitian coffees soon, as advertised 50 cents of each dollar goes directly to the farmers! Delicious and humanitarian!
