Coles Dark Roast Coffee Beans review
I've up until recently, drank pre-ground coffee that was set in a drip style coffee machine, I never had the bad experiences of having instant coffee shoved down my throat in such a long time, infact, the last time I had instant was at work, yes, it is awful.
But back to the review, from drinking pre-ground coffee I have and the experience and delight of beans, of which I purchased beans by mistake. Do I go back and get a refund, or should I pursue this. So, I spent forever chasing down a coffee grinder, I even had to ask a coffee shop where they looked at me like I was a mortal enemy, chasing down their costumers by making my own.
So I eventually decided on getting a fairly simple, Sunbeam one button grinder, designed for spices and such, but it works well for coffee. You can get different types of grinders, ones hand wound, ones with hoppers, but they where really expensive.So, I started filling the beans up to the edge, grinding the beans down and in after five seconds they where ground. The smell was fantastic, I was like a cat in catnip. The beans where rough and not at all ground right down, I actually thought I should grind them finer, but thought I'll try this out to see what it's like.
I then placed them into my stove-top caffettiera and waited three minutes. The smell filling the kitchen was awesome.I then poured it into my cup. The colour was not as dark as I have seen, it's more chocolate than coffee coloured. So, not adding any sugar or milk, to see if it was bitter, I drank it. It was really smooth, almost creamy tasting coffee.
So would I purchase another bag, more than likely. At $13 for 1 kilogram, it's really cheap for something that is actually quite good. I'm a bit dismissive of the fairtrade logo, but it's a supporter of using fairtrade as more of a marketing angle, to which I'm ok with.
