Union Coffee | Revelation Espresso Coffee Beans | Dark Roast | Pack of 1kg

Great beans, I use them in my Ninja pro 710 and there is no bitterness at all. Not a bad price either compared to others so I would recommend you try them

I really enjoy this coffee and usually but it fresh from the producer who roasts it when ordered, but can take a few days for delivery. Amazon can deliver next day and I needed some beans before the holiday weekend.The issue with the Amazon supplied coffee is that it has been sitting in a warehouse for a while before you get it, so, the coffee is not as fresh. I ordered on 2nd May and the bag I received from Amazon has a roast date of 10th March. The Roast Date and the Best Before Date are also obscured by the Amazon sticker.Don't worry, the 500g from Amazon will be finished in the next two weeks and replaced with fresh beans from Union Coffee.

I have become a bit of a coffee snob and these beans are in no small part to blame. I have tried everything from the supermarket own brand, up to niche coffee roasters charging £32 a bag and generally speaking you get what you pay for.These beans have great aroma, good flavour profile and offer good value for money. There are hints of milk chocolate and cinnamon, with a touch of sweetness and citrus. The flavour is relatively bold / full bodied. I mostly brew this in an espresso machine but if anything I would say the flavours are enhanced when I use my aeropress.Whilst you dont get complexity and fruity profile that some more premium roasts offer, this blends offers a good flavour for morning or all day drinking at a reasonable price. If the price is a bit high for you (it tends to fluctuate on here) try the Union Daily Blend, which is also pretty good albeit a marginally less interesting brew.

I've always liked Union Coffee, particularly this 'Revelation' variety.When buying from the supermarket, I particularly like that you can see the date of roasting so you know how fresh they are.My nervousness of buying from Amazon was whether the coffee would be as freshly roasted as the smaller packs I've been purchasing but I took a chance and was happy to receive a pack which had been roasted only about 3 weeks earlier.It's a really nice coffee, great aroma and flavour - once I've topped up my bean to cup machine, I then use my vacuum sealer to keep the rest nice and fresh until the next top up is required (not very long normally!).

Roasted 8 weeks ago.Environment friendly package

I am a self-confessed coffee addict and take my coffee purchases very seriously. This coffee is a really good quality, are use it in my new Jura A1 coffee machine and it tastes heavenly.What I really like:- This coffee tastes rich, but with no specific aftertaste, so perfect for oat milk latte, espresso, large coffee with sugar - any option!- I bought a large bag to make it more cost effective and even though I’ve had it for while, the coffee still tastes REALLY fresh (which isn’t always the case after you open a bag of coffee)I hope this review was of help to you :)

Coffee is decent and results in a fairly smooth espresso. However, as mentioned some other reviews, my issue is that the roast date in on the bag I received is over 2 months ago. This is not what I would expect from a 'premium' product.Other customers seem to have received more recent roast dates, so it's just a gamble. Not worth it for the price in my view.I will be buying my next bag direct from Union, in order to experience this coffee at its best.

On my fourth kilo now and each has been very fresh, well roasted, nutty and without bitterness. If anything these are too fresh and need a week or two of degassing. But not complaining. Crema is thick enough to rest a good tablespoon of brown sugar on. Great coffee at great value. I’ve now firmly switched from Monmouth, which is the same in quality but way more expensive.
