We love the packaging on these Climpson coffees – they look like they’ve been bagged out there on the farm. Nothing fancy – just a brown paper bag and label with some better than usual blurb – plus the date is was actually roasted – the 6th Jan in this case. “Plunger lovers in mind” […]
Morrisons The Best Fairtrade Guatemalan Ground Coffee Read Post »
These Morrison Coffees are always hard core killers, and this is no exception. We made this as normal and it was just way over the top. A bitter, filthy dirty brew. This could only be at home on a building site being drunk by hardened, crack-showing navvies who would probably even dunk a biscuit in […]
Marks and Spencer Colombian Coffee Beans Read Post »
We picked up two M&S’ers at the same time and the other one – the Luxury Italian – was bleedin’ awful. Because this one looks so similar, in our heads, this one was going to be shonky as well. But hang on!! We were wrong!! This one has a real citrus twist to it – […]
Marks and Spencer Luxury Italian Coffee Read Post »
This is not just Luxury Italian Coffee. It’s fucking awful Luxury Italian Coffee. This one claims all sorts on the packet – but forgets to mention lack of flavour and all round general weedy-ness. This is only marginally better than instant – if someone offered it to you at their house you would be grateful […]
Grumpy Mule Rwanda Musasa Coffee Read Post »
We’ve been going through a renaissance with the Grumpy Mules, which was mainly brought on by price – they were all so sodding expensive. Turns out though, it’s just our local Deli that’s ripping us off – there is no £8 packet of Mule out there in the real world – it’s just a special […]
Grumpy Mule Tanzania Footprint Peaberry Coffee Read Post »
This advertises two words we like to see: Peaberry and Tanzania. So we’re getting quite excited by this one. As you bring this brewed cup up to your face you do get the slightly citrus waft, and on the first sip – you get it too. But from then on in this coffee is just […]
Whittard Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Coffee Read Post »
The first sip of this bodes well – it’s tangy and citrus like, as we top Judges have come to expect for anything from a high altitude in that part of the world. But as you continue to sip, you really want this taste to build and build – but it doesn’t. It just stays […]
Dallmayr Prodomo Coffee Read Post »
This one’s from Austria. We’ve had a few from there and, as cheapies, they’ve generally been better than French ones. This is a case in point – it IS drinkable – but there’s just something slightly weird about it. It’s very susceptible to getting the measures wrong – too much and it’s liquid aluminum, too […]
Grumpy Mule Panama Esmeralda Coffee Beans Read Post »
Imported from a recent Cuban jaunt by Judge Nooge himself, this is a real big boy. A massive half kilo bag and it’s a pretty luxurious package too. It’s finely ground which makes for a very heady mix. There’s no mincing around with “citrus” or “chocolatey” with this one. It’s just good, old fashioned, strong […]
