Spiller & Tait Pure Colombian Huila – Coffee Beans 1kg Bag – Top Speciality Columbian Coffee Beans Roasted in the UK – Gourmet Blend for Great Tasting Brew at Home

Spiller & Tait Pure Colombian Huila. This is a review of the Beans in the header.....not some other beans which some reviewers have posted on here and are therefore misleading. This is supposed to be a 'Medium Roast' but is more 'Dark Roast' than any 'Dark Roast' beans I've ever had and that includes from the likes of Rave and Coffeeworks. Could it be a 'roast' anomaly? I don't know but if you are a 'medium' roast fan these are not for you. Setting the 'roast' aside this is a 'wow' coffee. It has a fabulous aroma when grinding and when brewing either in my Gaggia Classic or a Mokka pot. My 'standard' espresso coffee brew is 20grms coffee to 75ml espresso output. My Mokka is large and takes 320ml water......Espresso makes a lovely flat white with chocolate and nutty aftertaste. It is not the slightest bit acidic. From the Mokka I get around 280ml out and it makes a very strong 600ml Americano......Again it has the chocolate/nutty aftertaste and is very smooth. If you like a smooth, non acidic coffee with a lingering aftertaste of chocolate and nuts, possibly a bit of caramel thrown in then I can thoroughly recommend this. PS...I'm usually a one coffee a day person but with this...I'm on my third today.

Nice tasting coffee. I would buy again. It's ok at £17 kilo but I definitely wouldn't pay the astronomical full price they are asking for it. Plenty of others just as good out there costing much less.

Lovely coffee beans

I bought this on Christmas offer and grind in my Eureka Mignon for use in expresso with a Gaggia Classic coffee maker. Grinds well and makes a nice rounded coffee.

I always find myself going back to S&Ts Barista Blend (or Crema Blend). This particular coffee is very nice but they seem to deteriorate very quickly. Kept in the same good quality storage conditions as the others; after the first 3 weeks with my machine running the same settings it was under-extracting these beans for a sour watery coffee. In order to get the perfect extraction pressure i had to grind these beans at the finest grind my machine is able and even then it was bitter. With the Barista Blend i set my machine to the perfect settings for those beans i get the perfect pour for months from the same bag. Good beans if you drink the bag very quickly, but i'll be going back to the Barista Blend.

Very nice coffee at good price. I have tried signature blend and Colombian, both good.

Work out right strength, nice taste with sweet overtones

FRESH roasted coffee - it is very tasty and aromatic.

Premetto di essere passato da poco ad utilizzare caffè in grani - cosa che consiglio a chiunque, tra l'altro: basta un macinacaffè da venti euro per scoprire un mondo e, dal punto di vista della qualità, non esiste paragone con il caffè già macinato. Questa premessa per dire che non sono un grande intenditore di caffè, pur essendo un grande amante della bevanda. Anche per le mie ridotte capacità di giudizio, comunque, questo prodotto è ovviamente anni luce avanti a qualsiasi caffè da supermercato, sia come qualità che per la tostatura recente. Molto gradevole, per nulla acido, la french press è la morte sua. Si può spendere molto di più, ma mi sembra un ottimo compromesso. Consigliato!

Cuando uno compra un café gourmet seria de esperar más informaciòn como por ejemplo, la finca de Colombia donde fue recolectado, la variedad, etc. Entiendo que si no se pone, es porque se trata de una mezcla de diferentes cafés que aunque provinen de una región, tienes diferentes lugares de recolección. Sin embargo la calidad del café es muy buena, y el tostado es excelente, para mi gusto un poco demasiado, pero es que me gusta el medio bajo más bien, pero debo reconocer que la calidad es buena. En AMAZON encuentros cafés de Colombia por 14 euros que son realmente muy malos es el primer café que considero realmente bueno por el precio que tiene.
