Caramel and red apple are tastes we love in brighter blends and are presented here with high definition clarity. House represents our ideal every day blend, with a perfect balance of everyday sweetness Review: Light Roast, Whole Flavor - I'm not really a big coffee aficionado so I can't personally attest to the flavor profile. I did not see a roast date on my package which many people commented on in their reviews. The beans were not dried and shriveled up like on other reviews. I used 2 cups of beans which wasn't even half the bag, so hopefully this bag is good for a month of use in a 1 person/1.5 cups per day household. I mostly got this as a way to stop paying for the canned harbucks coffees in the stores which are absurdly costly and take time out of my week to get. 10$/mo is a lot better than 90$ for the cans. The cold brew did not produce a black color which shocked my coworker, but the flavor was very high after a short 11 hour brew. The flavor is significant dulled after a shot of milk and vanilla. Both my taste testers thought the coffee was great. Coffee grounds are great for composting (green material) and your coffee bean grinder can also grind dried disinfected eggshells. Review: Awful - I really didn’t want to believe the reviews so I ordered this coffee despite the bad reviews. We had this type of coffee in Chicago years ago and it was amazing. So amazing that I have never forgotten it. Unfortunately this is not the same thing and something is terribly wrong with these beans. There is literally zero flavor. With my normal coffee I usually use 5 scoops to make a 12oz batch. The first batch of Intelligentsia I used 5 scoops and it was literally like water. I tried 7 scoops and it’s still very bland- I can’t taste any underlying hints of flavor the way I could from our yummy Intelligentsia coffee in Chicago. Anyways, I’ve now made only a few pots and the whole bag is gone- wasted half of it trying to get it to be strong enough- and I won’t be buying again. Sidenote- the beans are BONE dry. Not sure if that could have anything to do with it but most coffee beans have a bit of oil residue to them. Do not recommend if you’re looking for true intelligentsia coffee. If you like hot tea, that’s basically what this will give you. ## Features - Contains one (1) 12 Ounce Bag of Intelligentsia House Whole Bean Coffee - House: This roast is designed to showcase the intrinsic sweetness and lively fruit flavors that characterize our favorite coffees.

Currently our coffee is ineligible for Prime because we prefer to freshly roast each order so you can receive the freshest coffee possible. **Q: This question is for the seller since the last response was over 3 years ago. What can I expect the roast date to be if I order this today 3/8/2023?** A: When I lived in California this was a great coffee. Had it almost everyday at work. Iced, brewed, espresso. When I ordered it off of Amazon a few months ago. It was really bad. I'm not sure why. But the beans were bone dry, the fragrance was stale and almost bitter. Then when I grounded it, it was like saw dust and the flavor was harsh and bitter and not enjoyable as I remember it. I use purified water which is used for best results for coffee and I did the appropriate amount for the brew/ size of grind. Hope that helps, if you end up ordering it I hope it turns put better for you. **Q: What is roast date?** A: It was over 6 months for me. When I order directly from Intelligentsia it's usually 2 weeks at the most. **Q: Is this the same coffee served at mon ami gabi in las vegas?** A: No, Mon Ami Gabi has their own blend of Intelligentsia coffee. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Light Roast, Whole Flavor *by A***R on December 21, 2024* I'm not really a big coffee aficionado so I can't personally attest to the flavor profile.

It's not terribly expensive as far as coffee goes, but it's still a little too much for me. If it was priced a little lower, I'd be happy to drink it regularly. ## Frequently Bought Together - Intelligentsia Coffee, Light Roast Whole Bean Coffee - House Blend 12 Ounce Bag - Stumptown Coffee Roasters, Medium Roast Whole Bean Coffee - Homestead Blend 12 Ounce Bag with Flavor Notes of Milk Chocolate, Cherry and Orange - Blue Bottle Whole Bean Organic Coffee, Balanced, Medium Roast, 12 Ounce bag (Pack of 1) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/1791054-house-blend](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/1791054-house-blend) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
