Tandem Coffee Roasters is well-regarded in the specialty coffee community, frequently mentioned alongside other top-tier roasters. Users appreciate their high-quality single-origin offerings and the experience at their Portland, Maine, cafes. While generally praised, some users have noted specific flavor profiles in their Kenyan coffees that lean toward savory or "truffly" notes, which may be polarizing depending on personal preference. They are also recognized for offering 5lb bulk bags, making them a popular choice for those looking to buy in larger quantities.
