It’s smooth, earthy and a very pleasurable dark roast to drink black. It goes great with dark chocolate brownies, blueberry muffins or by itself on my morning commute. Michigan has some great coffee roasters and Jon is one of my favorites.” Erin T also states, “Coffee.By.Jon produces some of the best coffee I’ve ever had. I really enjoy a good cup of black coffee, and this is it! I bought three bags last weekend and they are already gone. Although they are all great, my favorite is the Solar Eclipse. It has an amazing body, low acidity, and a delicious hazelnut finish. I drink many different coffees from different roasters throughout the country, but Coffee.By.Jon is my new favorite. I’ll definitely be ordering more!” Go to https://coffeebyjon.com/ to learn more and to purchase some really good coffee from a local business.
