Supremo Blend

Good quality beans with a powerful kick of caffeine and a robust flavour.The beans were ground in my machine, though if you have a hand grinder that would work well with them too, they produced a fine grind that held together well and when tampered down my machine was able to get a good pressure build up as it forced the liquid through it.This resulted in a good crema and a flavoursome espresso , which was strong, slightly bitter with a tobacco base flavour.This made a punchy espresso, a cappuccino where the coffee wasn’t overpowered by the milk and a fabulous coffee and walnut cake.

It’s a great big bag if you order 1kg so make sure you have somewhere to store it so the beans don’t go stale. The beans are dark and I know they are usually coated in oil but these were noticeably oiler than others I have purchased in the last. The taste is ok. I had to set the grinder to a more coarse setting because the water wouldn’t filter through the portafilter very well on fine. I usually make milk based drinks and it was ok for those. Tested alright. It was medium tasting and not too strong. There is no roasting date on these so they could have been in storage for months without knowing. If you have a decent coffee machine then these might get the best from these beans. If you are expecting a superior tasting coffee experience, then you will be disappointed. It’s a bit meh!

Both me and my partner tried these coffee beans as we both like coffee a different way. I prefer coffee with milk and sweetener and my partner prefers espresso or filter coffee is he's working at home.I personally really liked these beans as I don't like my coffee to be too strong and overpowering. The mild bitterness and flavour come through nicely with the milk and the sweetener and created something I have been really enjoying over the last few weeks. I find the flavour is quite bold but it is not overly bitter which I think goes well with the addition of milk. My partner has been enjoying his coffee as well, he said he didn't find these beans to be too bitter but he also felt that the caffeine he got from it wasn't as strong as other coffees he has had. He said that he preferred his filter coffee over his espresso but both were pleasant and tasted nice.Overall, we both enjoy trying different brands and types of coffee and this was overall quite pleasant. Something nice to give a go, especially if you don't like overly bitter coffee.

Is just that, supreme, 1kg on monthly so i'am never without.

Superb quality beans, beautifully roasted. I've made the nicest coffee with these beans, you can really taste the honey and biscuit in the brew.
