Good roast. Good beans. Up to expectations. But the package (tin) doesn’t contain a one-way valve. After leaving the beans sitting for two weeks to release gas, the packaging inside became very inflat... See more

Way too expensive for the product…

Way too expensive for the product received. Grind the coffee to a very fine size or you will be drinking colored water. I also felt that the bag was about 1/2 full. Way too expensive for the outcome.

Hi Sam, We're sorry to hear the coffee didn’t fully meet your expectations. Grind size can significantly impact the brewing process - feel free to get in touch for guidance tailored to your brewing method. All our bags are freshly weighed and packed to order, but if you have any concerns about the quantity received, our team would be happy to look into it.

High quality coffee

I ordered a bag of Jamaica Blue Mountain Beans (Cinchona Estate) at £20.8/100g (already 15% off) to make pour-over coffee. The beans are freshly roasted (just one day before despatch) and the flavour is complex, with very bright acidity, citrus and tropical fruit notes and some cocoa (chocolate) flavours.

Overall, the price of this one is a bit high for everyday drink, but so is the quality. I would recommend it if you want a cup of quality coffee.

I also ordered a bag of Costa Rica Venecia Honey Beans at £8/100g and I think these are worth the price and suitable for an everyday drink.
