We picked this one up on a recent ski trip to Austria. Like all the coffees out there – there’s not much to choose between them.
They’ll all dark as hell – having had the nuts roasted off them in some kind of industrial furnace. Which means when you make it you have to have a steady hand. One extra grain could mean the difference between life and death. The only phrase to note on the side of the packet is “savory” – a word I’d more normally associate with a packet or Twiglets. Rest assured – there is no hint of savory in this. It’s just your standard hard roasted Austrian. Dark and liable to punch you in the face. make it right and you’ll love it – over do it and you’ll choke. It’s that simple. 7/10

Really hot, almost boiling. Much better once it had cooled down a little. I don’t understand why Edusho make it so hot to begin with, they really should try harder.
A good, if a tad weak, opening although the after taste is a bit dusty. As you make your way through the cup the flavour does build and at the half way point I can now taste the ‘intense and hearty flavour’.
I’ve never thought of a drink being sweet or savoury to be quite honest. This description has opened up a whole new world of drinks classifications to me. Is savoury simply the absence of sugar? Is there some sort of intrinsic quality that defines sweet? If so, just where exactly does dust fall on this gastronomic scale?
