Dark Roast?
I understood this would be a medium roast, suitable for French press. I found my batch to be roasted on the darker side, making the coffee more oily and bitter than I would have liked. Being a darker roast, I use the beans for pour-over coffee and it's okay. The ethos of the company, aiding people to get off the streets is great and I wish them every success. Perhaps if the coffee was labeled as a darker bitter coffee and not "smooth operator " Then the description would be more appropriate and lead to less disappointment.

Delicious
Very good value for money, this is not a cheap coffee packed up for charity this is up there with everything else in this price/weight class.

Great tasting coffee, perfect for my lattes. Expensive, but all for a good cause.
This is delicious stuff. It really deserves the smooth operator name as it really is some smooth tasting coffee. With this coffee being for such a good cause, it would have sucked if it tasted horrible so I'm glad it tasted lovely. This coffee supports a great cause but it is some of the most priciest coffee I've tried. Part of me thinks they would be better off lowering the price, I personally think they would sell more which would offset the profit lost through the lower cost.

expensive, but ethical and progressive
• These coffee beans come in a bright bag with eye-catching illustrations. The bag isn't resealable so you will need a container to decant the beans into once open. • The coffee itself is pretty good - nutty, rich and flavourful. I prepared them in a percolator rather than cafetiere as recommended on the bag but it was still really nice. • Considering it is only a 200 gram bag, the price is a little steep, though profits made by this company go toward helping the homeless with getting shelter, education and work. • The coffee itself is also rainforest-alliance approved. Though there is no mention of fair trade anywhere that I can see.So if you're looking for a good-quality coffee from an ethically-minded company and would rather your money be put to good use where it can help people out of a bad situation - rather to huge corporations, making the rich richer, then this might be the coffee for you. (Ignoring the irony of buying it through Amazon)

Tasty and pricey
These 200g work out at £32 per kg, that is premium coffee territory!The flavour is strong and rich, and the texture is very smoothI appreciate that they have an ethical mission with their profits, it's a great thingI just don't think it's worth £32 per kg, you can get very similar quality coffees for half the price (around £12 per kg)

decent aroma
100% profits go to help the homeless. Impressive, isnt it? It deserves our support from this point of view alon, not to mention it is a nice coffee.Decent aroma from the dark roast, the vanilla sweetness is easily caught, but I had problem finding the chocolate overtone maybe because I used an automatic espresso machine instead of brewing it; should show multi-layer of flavours while being brewed manually. 4 star out of 5.

Delicious cafe quality
Coffee taste is very personal but these are lovely quality beans and taste very nice indeed. They are a blend of columbian and peruvian Arabica, Arabica being my favourite type of bean.Used in my bean to cup machine, absolutely no issue with using them, smells lovely freshly ground and they are stronger than my usual beans, i prefer a medium to dark roast coffee anyway and this coffee is really delicious, very smooth and tasty.Small 200g bag which fills my machine up once and lasts us around a week or two, depending on consumption. This bag was £6.99 (at the time of order) which works out around £35 per kilo and about 3x what i usually pay so for me, the value is poor. The bulk pack works out much cheaper but still double what i pay. This is nice coffee though, i recommend it and would buy it again if the value was better.On a different note it is worth mentioning that this company pledges to donate 100% of profits to charity which tackles homelessness which is great and very noble. So from that point of view, some may not mind paying a bit more since that will go to charity.
