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 a real twang to it – and not only that, it’s easy to make. We spooned it up big time for the second cup and it still was as mellow as hell. The only thing we did notice was a slightly metallic bite to it when we made the much stronger cup – so lets just say this one has a ceiling that you don’t want to go over – but it’s a pretty high ceiling. We could happily glug this stuff all day long without any complaint. An easy 8/10.
