Roundsquare Roastery

This is the only offering from Roundsquare Roastery – and to be honest just calling it House Blend doesn’t really get you fired up for anything spectacular. And so it proved.

It’s fine – but that’s all we can say. If anything, this has been a tad over roasted – the first cup we made was ashy and harsh. But for the second cup we toned it down a bit and it came out pretty fine. But there’s just no depth of flavour in there. We couldn’t find any chocolate or caramel in there – there was just nothing to stand it apart from the run of the mill stuff. These guys are really suppliers to the trade – and if I’d had this coffee in a shop I’d sure I’d be more than happy – I suspect this really comes into its own when pushed through a proper espresso machine – but in our lowly French Press it was just left lacking and so only gets a 6/10
