This is great coffee, very strong and you can't have it too late otherwise it'll have you up all night!The price for this is excellent, it's a shame you can't buy it cheaper if you buy more, but still good value.It is very smooth, tasty and not over powering. It's great as both a black americano or as a latte/mocha.

There's a reason it's so cheap, not much taste to it but leaves a smokey after taste in the mouth (like having a cigarette). I'll work my way through the bag but won't buy again.Edit: I gave this 1 Star initially, the smoky after taste I was getting subsided after about 48 hours of opening the bag and tastes more rounded and smoother and more full bodied with dare I say caramel notes. When I ordered this I had to wait for it to be back in stock and it was delivered a couple days later when it was back in stock so I may have got some what fresher beans delivered, the beans were also still oily when I opened the bag. Overall it seemed unfair to leave it at 1 Star and it's no longer a chore to drink.To begin with it was watery as others have said and tasted smoky to my taste buds and now it's a more rounded drink, it doesn't taste watery anymore and the smoky taste has gone. I've also kept my grind setting the same as well as my dose, I had a pleasant surprise when I got to my fourth cup of coffee and realised the taste had changed for the better. Personally I would have gone as far as to say it tasted foul initially. I would be prepared to buy it again in the future but will probably try some others first before coming back to this (variety is the spice of life).

This is a very nice coffee. It's smooth with a decent crema aspect to it. It's very similar to Der Franz Crema, and I suspect they could be the same beans. There's little to go wrong here, and it represents excellent value all round.

Good 'allday' type flavour profile... Well balanced. The only issue I have with it is that it smells a bit like cigarettes.

The media could not be loaded. I’m really happy with these coffee beans. The aroma is pleasant but not overpowering, and the crema is absolutely perfect. The bitterness is minimal, hitting just the right balance for a smooth everyday espresso. While it’s not the strongest for a latte or cappuccino, it’s still far better than most commercial coffees. Considering the price, this is an excellent choice for daily coffee lovers. Highly recommended!
