Colombian Brew Arabica French Press Coffee Powder, Dark Roast Strong, 100g Pouch

To keep it short, the coffee is medium strength in flavor (mild) and anyone expecting it to be strong espresso-like flavor will be disappointed. I think for me its partly due to the fact that I am used to making my coffee in proper espresso-machines (using various local brands, CCD and even star bucks beans) that I found the taste of this coffee made in french press to be a quite soft for me. Whether its due to coffee or the using a french press, its hard to say (I will try their espresso grounds too to make sure if its their source itself thats soft/mild). Note that the golden ratio for french press is 1:17 coffee:water. The scoop included in the pack is around 8gm (10gm if you fill it full) so the water needs to be 150-170ml and brewing time of 4-5 minutes (though the seller recommends 8-10 minutes, I feel it burns the flavor of the grounds). Eitherway, I give it 4.5 stars for a few reasons: 1. The coffee, mild/soft may it be, is still good and flavorful. Anyone upgrading from regular instant coffee will feel the difference and be happy, while anyone downgrading from espresso will find it as a good alternative for a soft flavor compared to strong espresso. For me, having a different flavor/strength option is worth it. I have actually been drinking my latte and bullet proof coffee with this french press grounds rather than espresso. 2. This, and many of their other options and flavors, are KETO diet friendly. 3. Seller included 6-7 different small samples of their other flavors and coffee types which really surprised and pleased me. Seller's response to my brewing questions was also quick. 4. Value for money. This is 200g for Rs. 245 (CCD is Rs. 200 for 200gm and starbucks is Rs. 750 for 200gm). Using 8gm coffee per cup, this will make around 25 cups of coffee and the overall cost comes down to around Rs. 8-10/cup (without milk etc.) 5. Its a little soft-mild yet nice flavor. Making a latte using it and almond milk feels like Starbucks taste. I tried a few different brewing time options and recipes which are below (ordered in my preference of what turned best): (I use cream and almond milk due to following a KETO diet, you can use any milk you want) 1. 8gm coffee (1 scoop), 150ml water, 10gm amul cream, 100ml almond milk (milk and cream frothed) 2. 8gm coffee (1 scoop), 100ml water, 100ml almond milk 3. 8gm coffee, 50ml water, 150ml almond milk 4. 8gm coffee, 150ml water, 10ml amul cream, 20-50ml almond milk (this one brewed for 8 minutes) PS: I am using boiling water from a kettle, rested for 20 seconds before pouring it in my french press

The Good - - As soon as I opened the package, was surprised to see so many samples of various flavors of coffees and teas by the brand. I've tried all and guess I'm gonna order some of these soon. I mean mint-flavored coffee, hazelnut.. wow! (Pic attached) - The coffee has a nice taste, although I found it to be somewhat light. So I add almost double the recommended amount of coffee and that's the taste I want. Pic attached, comparing the spoon provided to a usual tablespoon. I add 1 and 3/4 of this spoon for my 220ml cup. - The pack says no chicory and it seems to be correct. So it's pure coffee without any chicory. The not so good - - Now 1 thing I really didn't like was the seal. I was happy to see that it came with that seal-lock thing, but somehow, before tearing the seal off, I could feel that this lock, kinda zip lock was not closed. So when I tore off the seal, there was coffee powder in the portion of the lock which has the cut to keep it Vaccum sealed. The result? Now it doesn't seal at all and attached pic shows how I have to store it (That's annoying actually). So even though they've given this lock mechanism, I'd like to tell it doesn't work - It was the same in both packs I bought. Would really like to see this rectified.

very very bad coffee... it is moist, bad grind, test is really really bad, watery.... i had to order it as emergency as i ran out of beans, and waiting for fresh delivery. No Aroma, not at all fresh.... dont buy.

Good coffee but in the description given pack of 2 but received only one.

Okay so, I usually drink the Barista houseblend, which retails for 290/- for 200gms. This time, I dared to try out this specific brand out of so many in the market. I made it in a French press and let me tell you, I don't think I've drank a better coffee ever. The grounds are flavourful, aromatic, and coarse to the right size. Usually the grounds are so fine that they seep into your coffee and settle on the base of the mug like particles of mud, but this one does not. I'm a really lazy person and I don't usually write out reviews, but this one deserved it because it's absolutely one of the best coffees I have ever had. And it also comes in packets of 100gms so you're not exposing much of the product to the air meaning it retains its strength and taste for a longer time, as when compared to large packs. It also comes with measuring spoon, which makes it easier to know how many cups you're making, depending on the strong taste. As a bonus, they also sent me some trial packs of their instant double chocolate mocha, espresso, cold brew dip and a tea bag of Cambridge tea party masala Chai. Definitely a cool brand just looking to establish a market and I think I'm shifting to this coffee. It has become one of my favorites.

Good strong coffee as expected

Every time little bit different taste/ flavour

Not much scent of coffee maybe old powder. Poor taste not genuine Colombian
