### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ amazing bean juice
*by S***V on 19 June 2025*

I received a relatively fresh batch with about 2 months since production and with simple preparation medium grind and through a drip filter it comes out amazing. Very bold chocolatey taste that stays. Purchased on sale so great value, can't wait to try the Ethiopian blend too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Delicious
*by K***A on 9 January 2026*

Very good arabica. Chocolate notes are very distinctive.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Good Coffee, But Just Not For Me
*by V***Y on 19 May 2026*

When on sale the value for money is decent. It's a pretty smooth coffee with decent strength, a nice aroma with a good amount of crema, but freshness is questionable. Wasn't blown away by this coffee and doubt I'll return to it. Still though, it does all come down to preference and taste at the end of the day.
