Bacha Coffee | Rwanda Superior Single Origin Signature Nomad Collection, Medium Dark Roast, 100% Arabica Whole Beans, 250g

This coffee is great. Friend gave my daughter a box of the Bacha in single cups box. I tried it and liked it and since I like to ground my own bean. It is great and has a smooth taste.

EDIT once I tried the coffee:Beans smell delicious – chocolatey – whole and ground.Brewed coffee – drip coffee maker – smells smooth and pleasant.Unadulterated brewed coffee (in water-rinsed, but unwashed morning mouth) tastes expectedly bitter – I don’t detect a difference between it and any other coffee - with lingering bitterness on the back and middle of tongue.1 teaspoon of sugar and 2 teaspoons of plain powdered creamer made it as palatable as any coffee, but I detect no “notes“ of anything. It’s just coffee. Lingering bitterness on back of tongue but not poison because I am fine 12 hours later.Reducing by one star. Still love the tin.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I haven’t actually drunk it yet because I was going to finish the bag of beans I was already on, but since this one arrived unsealed (very disappointing if this were a gift or I were paying full price), I will just finish what’s in the grinder and then try this.I’ve got to say, it is about the prettiest container that ever contained a household staple. I will definitely be holding onto it for other uses regardless of what I think of the coffee produced by the beans.I am no connoisseur or snob - I’ve only been drinking coffee for 15 years and I drink it with cream (2) and sugar (1), but I have had “bad” (burnt, bitter, stale) coffee and I have had good (smooth) coffee, so take my edited review once I’ve tasted this for what it’s worth.

So good but so expensive for so little coffee. 6 ounces does not last and the near 50 bucks is hard to justify.Give us a bag and 12 ounces and I would never buy another type of coffee again

yummy Isn't that enough ??? Smells wonderful too !!!

First off, this whole product is such an experience. The canister, with it's little button and the ribbon around the outside, makes it so luxurious to open. The canister itself is super well made and really harkens to an earlier era. It's whole bean coffee, so the orange aroma was faint at first, but when I ground the beans holy heck it smelled like a chocolate orange! We had this "straight" (not cutting it with plain coffee) and it really packs a lot of orange flavor. Not fake fake orange, but more real orange (but also not acidic orange juice orange); think of orange you find in luxury chocolate orange flavor. Just a nice balanced flavor profile and smooth finish. I personally can't do more than a cup or two of intensely flavored coffee, so next time I will likely cut it with plain or do some sort of latte, but it's tasty. It's not the kind of money I would spend on myself, but if you have a coffee lover that would appreciate the sort of history/travel aspect of this collection, I would 100% recommend picking it up as a gift.My only (minor) complaint would be that for some reason when I opened mine the little plastic seal inner lid had come dislodged and was loose in the top of the canister rather than snuggly fit in the opening, but my assumption is this happened when it was jostled in shipping.

So first off, the packaging and arrival of this coffee is so luxe. I feel like this is the perfect coffee to send as a gift. It feels decadent opening it up.The tin is beautiful with a vintage feel, there is an elastic ribbon that holds it closed, and a little button to push to open it up. Once open, there is a plastic lid that seals the coffee in.Now on to the coffee. I ordered the Milano mornings, a medium roast, and it is divine. The smell hits you almost immediately upon opening the lid, and intensifies as you grind it. Very rich and smooth coffee.It is pricey though. I do think they thought of everything though, so for a luxe treat this is worth it. I wonder if the company sells refill bags that are not the full canister?

Bacha has a large selection of coffee beans, so I decided to try El Flamingo. The package arrived with a cellophane wrapper, but that was all. Seems like it should have something sealed better to preserve the coffee inside. The box is pretty neat, and you have to push the little gold button on the front to open it. Once I opened it, there were beans on top of the black "lid", which is held in place by a small sticker on one side. Since some of the beans made their way above that during transit, it told me even more that this coffee is not packaged to preserve freshness.I poured the beans into my automatic espresso machine and tried it out. I've been on a latte kick lately so my drinks are half milk/cream and half coffee. This coffee tasted fine in my latte, it was good but nothing earth shattering. I then tried a plain espresso with a little heavy cream. It was just okay for my tastes. I've found that I prefer the taste of a dark roast and this is a medium roast, so that probably factored into it.Overall, I think this coffee is over-priced (currently $42 for about 0.5 pounds). Sure you get a cool box, but if you don't drink it all right away, it's not likely to stay fresh. There are better, cheaper options out there.
