About Intelligentsia Coffee

Community reputation · Reddit

Mixed reviews· sentiment 65/100

Intelligentsia is widely recognized as a foundational "third wave" roaster, often used as a benchmark for espresso, particularly their Black Cat blend. While they are a staple in the specialty coffee scene, some enthusiasts view them as a "gateway" roaster that has become more commercialized over time. Users generally appreciate the consistency of their classic offerings, though some report difficulty dialing in specific extractions to avoid acidity or thin body.
