House Blend Coffee Beans, Medium Roast, 1kg, Rainforest Alliance Certified

This coffee was fine for our grinder. Brewed decent coffee. Not too strong and not bitter

I love my coffee and i'll always grind fresh at most doing a batch to last a day or so amd keeping it sealed. It's not cheap buying coffee beans soni decided to give these a try as the price was so tempting. This is a 1kg bag of 100% Arabica beans. The bag is foil lined with the usual pressure valve at the top to avoid the bag popping. The beans are rainforrest alliance certified so both peoples rights and the forrest are treated with respect. They do also state on the bag that the beans are sourced from several countries, but are roasted and packed in Belgium. If they are good quality beans you will smell the coffee in the bag before opening, not so in this case. The beans are sourced from multiple countries rather than single source which is a bit disapointing. Single source beans always have a better flavour profile and also give a reliable expectation. E.g. South america will be rich and fruity, asia and africa more acidic. These make a very acidic brew soni would presume the latter. I like to brew an espresso for new beans to get a full impression of the flavour and oil content. This gives a very thin almost no creme layer, so not much oil to the beans (milder, drier flavour), it brews a black rather than brown (medium to dark roasted beans). Taste wise this is very acidic. Piping hot the flavour is quite neutral and not really much of anything, let it cool a bit and it's smooth, very smooth, but also the high acidity comes through. There's not really any dominant flavour notes or aromas that i pick up, maybe a very mild chocolate or nut. Unfortunately the acidity overwhelms the palette thr cooler it gets. This has been roasted to a pleasant level (3/5), there's no taste of burnt coffee, but i think a heavier roasting would help reduce the acid and bring out more of the flavour. Because this is much more acidic than i would normally drink i think i'll have this as a morning coffee (to help get things moving). I'd also recommend brewing in a cafetiere rather than espresso. The ussual 1 tablespoon + 1 spoon per cup. Overall a bargain option for coffee beans and will definitely wake you up. But if you don't like acidic coffee and prefer a rich flavour profile steer clear. Thank you for reading my review. I hope you found it useful

I purchased this coffee for the first time based simply on the fact I enjoy arabica medium roast coffee and saw this was an Amazon Choice product. The price was reasonable so decided to try it. I must say I was definitely not disappointed! I ground the beans to a fine grind to use in my espresso machine. The beans ground easily and I savoured my first and subsequent cups. The crema was a beautiful golden brown colour with a lovely aroma. Upon tasting my first latte, I was delighted. The coffee was smooth with a slight acidity and I could taste notes of hazelnut and chocolate and the coffee was very fresh. The 1kg size of the bag will last my family for quite a while and I think the price was quite reasonable and a great value for the money. I don’t think I have been so pleased with a purchase for a long time. I would definitely recommend this coffee for those who like a smooth, medium roast coffee. I will be buying this coffee again over and over.

Smooth, mild flavour and easy to drink. Not very rich or complex, but works well for daily use. Good value for the price.

Great coffee beans giving a full bodied deep strength flavourful drink. Highly recommended. I use it in a bean to cup machine for consistently good brew.

Very nice coffee at a good price. Tried this based on the reviews, I really liked it but its not up there with my favorites. Taste was very good and the beans smelt lovely and fresh, my favorite is the Taylors of Harrogate Italian at the moment. Brew was nice though and I did enjoy these, would recommend giving them a try as everyone likes a different flavour.

These coffee beans have a smooth and balanced flavour that works well for everyday drinking. The aroma is pleasant and the medium roast is not too strong or too mild. They produce a consistent cup whether brewed in a machine or a French press. Good value for the quality offered.

Its OK as for the price

Der Kaffee schmeckt und ist auch noch günstig. Alles richtig gemacht

Utilisé avec une machine automatique Delonghi avec broyeur intégré, principalement en expresso et café long. Après 3 semaines d’utilisation, le rendu est constant. Le café est plutôt fort mais reste équilibré, sans amertume excessive. L’odeur à l’ouverture est agréable, et le goût tient bien en tasse, que ce soit en expresso ou en café plus long. ✔ Bon équilibre entre puissance et douceur ✔ Goût stable dans le temps ✔ Très bon rapport qualité/prix ✔ Livraison rapide et toujours disponible ❌ Point à améliorer : le paquet ne se referme pas après ouverture, ce qui peut impacter la fraîcheur sur la durée si on ne transvase pas. Au final, c’est un café équivalent à ce qu’on trouve habituellement dans cette gamme, fiable et sans mauvaise surprise. Idéal pour un usage quotidien sans se ruiner.

Es un café muy equilibrado y realmente delicioso. La relación calidad-precio es sencillamente imbatible. La tueste no es demasiado intensa, lo que permite apreciar plenamente sus excelentes aromas. Se perciben notas de chocolate, de avellana y un fondo suave que lo hace muy agradable en boca. Perfecto tanto para el desayuno como para una pausa a media tarde. Para quienes buscan un café aromático, accesible y de gran calidad, lo recomiendo sin ninguna duda.

Ho provato l’Amazon House Blend quasi per curiosità, e ora è diventato il mio caffè di tutti i giorni! La tostatura media è un punto di forza: non troppo intensa da coprire gli aromi, né troppo chiara da risultare acida. Si trova quel giusto equilibrio tra dolcezza e corpo, con note di cioccolato fondente e una punta di nocciola che lo rendono piacevolissimo al palato. Perché lo adoro: Aroma avvolgente: Appena aperta la confezione da 1kg, si sente un profumo fresco e invitante. In tazza, mantiene una complessità che ricorda i caffè di alta gamma, con un retrogusto morbido e persistente. Versatilità assoluta: Lo uso con la moka, la macchina espresso e anche per il caffè filtro. Con l’espresso ottengo una crema setosa (meno corposa di un dark roast, ma elegante), mentre con la moka esalta note più fruttate. Eticità senza compromessi: Il certificato Rainforest Alliance è un valore aggiunto: sapere che si supportano pratiche sostenibili mi fa scegliere questo prodotto a cuore leggero. Convenienza: La confezione da 1kg è ideale per chi, come me, consuma tanto caffè. Il prezzo è ottimo per la qualità offerta, soprattutto rispetto a marche "premium" che costano il doppio! Ideale per: Chi cerca un caffè quotidiano bilanciato, senza estremismi. Chi apprezza la versatilità: perfetto per espresso, cappuccino o metodi alternativi (Chemex, French Press). Chi vuole un acquisto consapevole, senza rinunciare al gusto. Attenzione: Se amate i caffè super tostati dal sapore affumicato o quelli chiari con acidità pronunciata, questa miscela potrebbe non soddisfarvi. Ma per tutti gli altri… è una scoperta! Voto: 5 stelle – Un caffè che unisce carattere, etica e praticità. Lo consiglio a chiunque voglia iniziare la giornata con un sorriso e una tazza di qualità. Ormai non posso più farne a meno! ☕🌱

Café de calidad muy justita, tiene un sabor demasiado fuerte en mi opinión (tostado). Calidad-precio bien, no esperéis gran cosa, algo de esperar por el precio.
