Since it hasn't been mentioned here and has always been controversial ( a love it or hate it blend), I must admit that my benchmark fav has been and continues to be Josuma's Malabar Gold.   I've tried many of the others mentioned here (and even retried some several times over the years) such as Black Cat, Kid O, Code Brown, etc. but nothing seems to float my boat like the Malabar.

Does anyone have any particularly good additions to make to this thread?  Seems to me it is one that can use regular additions and subtractions.

There is a link to it today, which led me to read through it and wonder what some of you think NOW compared to what maybe you posted THEN?

yes, please update! Specifically, can someone tell me, other than Black Cat, what's the best rich, dark, chocolaty espresso blend? (not fruity, light, or anything like that.)

thanx....

I have tasted blend "Blue" from Esserre.  Blue doesn't mean it is decaffienated.

Charactersitics: not very strong, not very dark, low acidity, so syrupy.  After taste ... mmm so pleasant.

I really like our European Roast Espresso blend from Fieldheads Coffee.  It is smooth, not bitter, dark, heavy, has chocolate notes, and shows well through milk.
