The Judge’s reviews of Strength 4 coffees. Check them out here, leave your own comments and rate them out of 10.
Here’s a different concept for you – a coffee which is designed to actually be something other than just coffee. It’s coffee like any other hipster Hackney roaster might offer – but it’s very reason for being is that it’s to raise money for a good cause. In this case, whales. By which they mean […]

Whenever we read the word “blend” on the side of a packet, we instinctively think “beans swept up off the floor”. But who cares, as we are firm believers in the 3 minute rule for things that have been on the floor – you could eat your dinner off our floor. Providing you don’t mind it […]

The Judges are back! After a two and a half year enforced break we’re here again – and what better way to start than with the whole Lidl offering – of which this is the first. What have we been doing for so long you may wonder? Well, a few technical issues meant the website […]

This is our second sampling from the new Lavazza range – and it’s the top strength number fiver. As with all Lavazzas, it’s based on Robusta beans which makes which in this case are darkly roasted – so this one was never going to be for the feint hearted. They suggest nuts and chocolate on the packet – but let’s face it, […]

It’s been a long while since there’s been a different Lavazza on the shelf – they’ve always stuck with their classic branding over the years which, let’s face it, has always been pretty damn cool. There must have been a shake up over at Lavazza HQ – a new director trying to make his mark […]

The first few cups we had out of this tin didn’t really go down too well. It just felt very harsh and over roasted – and more like a cheap Robusta type coffee. But then we realised our mistake – in our slapdash behaviour of getting the thing made, we weren’t really brewing it up for long enough. When we finally […]

This claims to be a complex blend of Latin beans – but what does that mean? Is that just sales talk for “a mish mash of all the beans we had left over in one big bucket”? Who knows – but whatever it is, it does us alright. It’s strong without being over-strong, which matches […]

The beans from this one look stunning – a uniform, glistening dark brown. It just makes you wish coffee beans were immediately edible as these look like little nuggets of chocolate. Once we’d ground these down though – these wolves in sheep’s clothing showed their true colours: a real bunch of hard cases. The first […]

You would expect the words “House Blend” to mean “All the stuff left in the bottom of the bag after we made everything else”. Looking at the beans give’s the same impression too – pale, dry and dusty. But hang on a minute – this one exceeds it’s “house blend” labeling – this coffee has […]

Mexico is not a big name in coffee for your average coffee drinker in the UK – but we’ve tried a few here at Judge Towers and their coffees are always firmly at one end of the scale: the top. That’s not to say there’s anything really noteworthy about this coffee though – it’s not […]
