Coffee Masters Colombian Organic Coffee Beans 1kg - Fairtrade, Single Origin, 100% Arabica, Light Roasted Whole Bean Ideal for Espresso Machines - Great Taste Award Winner

Coffee beans are perfect if you want a milder blend. You can get a decent cup of coffee without it tasting too bitter! The quality is very good too.

Great eco packaging. The beans have a lovely aroma. The coffee has a rich mellow flavour that is of middle strength. We would recommend it for anyone that enjoys Colombian coffee.

I've been drinking 3 types of Coffee Masters coffee for about 2 years. They are all very good. I use an aero press and you can tell they are freshly roasted beans due to the amount of Co2 that is released after you add hot water. Often I have to add more water to the aero press 3 or 4 times. You won't get that with supermarket beans. On to flavour.....Brazilian bourbon is the best - it's a stunning coffee with big chocolate and vanilla flavours Peruvian is next. It's not subtle but is still a nice drop. Colombian is next. Still a lovely coffee with a hint of tangy fruit. But not as good as the others. I'm yet to try any others. Would very much recommend coffee masters coffee, far better than I taste in my local coffee shops. And it's good value.

Really tasty and made a great cold brew.

Very good coffee, makes an excellent double espresso or macchiato. I use a Gaggia bean to cup machine and these beans work well with that. I recommend.

Roast date mid December. Ordered early January when Amazon said only 5 left in stock. Arrived on the 7th. Can't complain about a 3 week turnaround from roasting. Obviously the use by recommendation date is much longer. I didn't start drinking coffee till last year, so can't claim to be an expert. Never tried the likes of Costa or Starbucks. Started with Mochas at local Coffee Cafés, progressing quickly to Espresso. After trying pre-ground Organic Saula in a French press (smooth, with various depths of flavour), I started reading up more on coffee. Consensus was that you loose a lot of the flavour compounds with pre-ground coffee & that grinding your own was a totally different experience - especially if using a burr grinder. My wife keeps a foil bag of the Lavazza Qualita Oro pre-ground in the fridge. They rate as 5/10 strength, with 100% Arabica. I thought I would try something different & went for: Coffee Masters Triple Certified, Organic, Fairtrade, Arabica Coffee Beans 1kg - Great Taste Award Winner 2018 (graded 3/5 strength) I bought a small manual grinder to go with it. There are loads of these on Amazon, but sure they are all made in the same place, with different labelling to make one seem better than another. Gives you a workout, but the downside is it takes 5 minutes to grind enough for 2! Hence my Christmas present was a De'Longhi KG79 Professional Burr Grinder. Neat & works well. The Triple Certified was smooth, with various depths of flavour & after getting used to it, my wife really liked it as a comparison to shop bought coffee. Once that was running low, I ordered the Coffee Masters Colombian for a change. Graded 2/5 strength. Not one either of us has enjoyed. Tends to lack complexity or smoothness & be bitter even at 90 degrees C. I will get more of the Triple Certified for home & pre-grind batches of the Columbian for at work, till that is used up. Observations when eating beans whole: Columbian was darker, more hard/brittle to bite, drier & more bitter. Despite being 10 weeks older, the Triple Certified had been kept in airtight jars, so should not have absorbed much moisture in comparison. Latest brew technique: 1. Boil fresh tap water to 90 degrees C. I live in Scotland so it is always soft, only lightly chlorinated & VERY plentiful! Never had to buy bottled water. 2. Pre-heat the French press. 3. Grind enough beans on a course setting. 4. Empty the warming water from the press 5. Pour the coffee grounds in. I use a small brush to ensure all the content from the grounds container are in the press, as the plastic sides statically hold a lot stuck on. I also get the extra from the grinder outlet to stop that going stale. 6. Just cover with water, stir & leave for 1 minute. 7. add the rest of the water & stir. 8. Leave for ~2:30 9. Press & pour straight away. Don't leave any liquid in the press, or it will go bitter. As pre-ground is normally finely ground, you will get much more residue in the mug using a French press than you would with coffee you have course ground yourself. Coffee Masters, it would be great if you would sell 5x 200g varieties of beans, to give us the chance to test them all, before buying 1kg bulk of anything we like. Yes it would be more difficult to stock as fresh & be less environmental, but it is the kind of thing I would only be likely to do once.

Very tasty coffee

Great Coffee for the home brew. Consistent flavour. The only downside is it makes having a coffee made with other beans taste inferior.
