“We had gotten ourselves into a bit of a routine with our coffee and wanted to try something different. Battleborn’s “Borderline” roast was a great choice. It offers just the right amount of bitter (think: unsweet cocoa) for me and a perfect note of piñon nut to keep it interesting as an everyday choice. Try it with a sprinkle of cinnamon! Thank you,...”

Short excerpts from third-party buyer reviews on this product page. Storefronts may moderate reviews; verification and incentive labels appear only when the provider supplies them. These ratings are already in the average above and are not counted again in the Cherrybook Index.

Not currently counted in the Cherrybook Index. Refreshed Nov 1, 2026. See the ratings on BattleBorn Coffee Roasters’s page

How ratings count toward the Index

To count, an aggregate must come from a supported source, match this product, include at least 5 ratings, and have been refreshed within 90 days. Its weight is 12% for 5 to 24 ratings, 15% for 25 to 99, or 18% for 100 or more. Higher tiers need another signal alongside; a ratings-only coffee stays at 12%.
