Decent coffee

So youve been through the big brands, Lavazza, Taylors, LOR, nescafe' , even your local high street, but still not settled on a bean that has flavour AND isnt really bitter? Thats where I was.These are great in a bean to cup ive never really got good coffee out of. Ive decided to side by side try with nespresso and ive dialled in the correct general setting. Next, added some of these beans a viola! A decent coffee that has good flavour, just a hint of bitterness (which actually you can modify by adding a little water or salt (yes salt) and im good to go.The only other beans i like are the Amazon basics DECAF beans. But theyre decaf... The non-decaf ive just come off and theyre too bitter.these are my go to

I’ve been buying these beans via Amazon Subscribe & Save since May 2020 and I wanted to provide some data points to help you decide whether they are right for you.1. Roasting. The roasting is fairly light: there is consistently no discernible oil on the outside of the beans. IMHO, this is good, as it means the ground coffee doesn’t adhere to the grinder (in my case a quite old Dualit burr grinder). I appreciate this because it means less mess.2. Freshness. In other words, time from roasting (reported as “Roasted: Month/Year” on the packet) to delivery. This was one of my major concerns before going down the subscription route. Data for 12 deliveries over the course of nearly 2 years is as follows:Zero months from roast to arrival: 0 occurrences.One month from roast to arrival: 9.Two months from roast to arrival: 1.Three months from roast to arrival: 1.Eight months from roast to arrival: 1.All others zero.The major outlier is obviously the eight month delay. However I have to say even in that case the beans were perfectly ok, just maybe without some of the subtler caramel/vanilla type aroma (see below).3. Quantity and frequency of delivery. I like to make a 1 litre cafetière of medium strength coffee every morning (using about 30g of beans, coarsely ground). A 1kg bag lasts me almost precisely a month at this rate of consumption. I say almost; I end up skipping about one delivery per year as I have excess beans. So probably it’s about 11/12ths of a kg per month. Anyway this is within the margin of variability due to having more, or fewer, visitors; being away, or not, etc. Using almost exactly one bag per month makes the Amazon Subscribe and Save purchasing option very convenient.4. Consistency. All the properties of the beans described here have been consistent throughout the nearly two years I’ve been buying them.5. Flavour. Becoming subjective now, but I find a well-balanced blend without acidity or excess bitterness from over-roasting. There are caramel/toffee, vanilla, dried fruit and light spice and tobacco notes to the aroma. Probably to a greater degree because there is a blend of beans, the flavour and aroma evolves significantly as a cafetière of coffee steeps.

My father and I are huge coffee drinkers; as the coffee selection where we live(Ireland) can be described as poor at best I have resorted to buying beans online. This is the third batch I have bought, when they arrived with my brand new grinder I immediately opened them and poured them into my airtight 500g then poured most of what was left into the grind hopper.They were so fresh there was still oil visible on the shells, a little damp; which was very nice to see. The smell is best described as toasted sweet oat biscuits; pleasant if a little plane. When it comes to taste (compared to Kenyan Blue Mountain I previously had) from the flat white and espresso I have had so far and my fathers cappuccino we have found it a little unimposing. Do not get me wrong, for the price it is amazing(£7-8 cheaper) and the taste is still good I simply prefer mine more sour than sweet.Update: Full bag has been used in various way's and the final conclusion is that this blend tries to do too many things and whilst the price is good and the kick strong it is ultimately bland.

What a lovely taste !Coffee is not too strong or not too soft , the aroma while making it moves around the house.Very good price!

Beans dark and very oily. No coffee aroma when first opening packet. Quite bitter taste. Generally disappointing. Would suggest only looking at more recent reviews. The company S & T Wholesale appears to have changed ownership in 2021. Indicates no longer run by the Spiller and Tait families. Likely reason why the term freshly roasted, no longer applies. Have noticed significant variations in best before dates as well across last 4 months, ranging between January 2026 and October 2026.
