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

probably my favourite coffee beans of the last few years. Great value, nice strength, good taste. Use them in a bean to cup machine. Good smell, taste and colour. I have also bought the Amazon ground for when I'm at work and use a French press and thats good too.

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

Good quality beens good taste I was buying a moor expensive been befor I bought this one and the quality of the beans are that good I have prescribed for them to come every 2 months of 4 bags. The price runs out cheaper than way .

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.

Ok value, but a bit weak on flavour

Excellent subtle taste, very good value for money, and the clincher able to set up a recurring order

These coffee beans deliver a deep rich flavor with a smooth finish that is perfect for everyday drinking. The aroma is strong and satisfying and the taste remains consistent cup after cup. Excellent value for a large pack and ideal for anyone who enjoys a bold dark roast coffee.

Having taken a gamble on cheap coffee beans before and been hugely disappointed, I was pleasantly surprised by these. I have always bought Lavazza or Pelican Rouge, but the prices have gone insane. Here is a decent, strongly favoured and tasty coffee still for not much more than £10 a kilo when others have rocketed to £20+ or gone completely unavailable. Ordered twice so far and will continue to do so.
