CHERRY STORMNo. 17 (Dark Edition) - Espresso Coffee Beans - 500g - 100% Arabica

I love cherry flavoured anything, but oh, this brings out my dark side (in a good way!)Strong, yet smooth.Gorgeous taste.Roasted just right, with a beautiful colour.Great value for money, too.One to enjoy and savour!Will definitely be buying more.Very happy and highly recommended!

Did not know what to expect. Normally adjust milk to taste, but this is a full of flavour, great aroma and strong. The crema was great in espresso, definitely a one to blow the doors off the morning!

After the first cup, I wasn’t really impressed. It didn’t taste bad, it rather just didn’t taste much of anything.However, after a bit of experimentation I found the sweet spot.Using an AeroPress, I use a grind that’s just shy of espresso coarseness and brew for roughly three-and-a-half minutes. The ‘inverted method’ is key here.After I’d done this (with other beans, I’d used a coarser grind and brewed for a shorter duration), the flavour of this blend really comes to the fore. It’s not the best coffee I’ve ever had, but for the price it’s really good value.Note: as of 29/12/2020, the packet is 1kg and not 2x500g as packs as noted by other reviewers. Also unable to see a roast date, but there’s a BBE which is Dec 2021 - so I’d infer from that that it was roasted this month and the BBE is a rolling 12 months when they bag it up. I have absolutely no evidence of that, but it seems like a logical conclusion.All in all, for the price, it’s recommended. If you pay double, you’ll get a better blend - but that’s true of practically anything!

I have tried a number of coffee beans and these are so far the best. Good strong coffee.

Love this coffee! - Great strong taste and strong aroma! - Not cheap but you get what you pay for :)

I found the coffee to be rather sharp in taste.

Love the beans.They not cheap but they feel fresh and easy to make a good coffee with them.

I like a coffee that is full of flavour, not one of these wishy washy things that you have to add syrups and other additives to mask the realisation that the coffee is lacking something called coffee. it was a hard choice going through the multitude of coffees on offer through Amazon, a lot of which were not filling me with confidence. this one piqued my interest and I have not been disappointed with it. it is full of flavour without being too bitter, I did have to adjust the grind for it from my previous bean as I found the coffee puck was retaining some of the water but that is a minor quibble.
