Just some feedback on these beans... Whilst they're very good quality (beautiful aroma when the bag is first opened), and produce a lovely rich, full-bodied tasting coffee, they're still a little bitter for my tastes, probably because of the African connection.Quote:

...and now mix half of those with half of the Coffee Masters beans, in the grinder (normal quantity I need for making a large espresso each morning, which turns into a cappuccino), and that creates an absolutely superb tasting blend indeed! The latter add just a touch more bitterness and 'bite', but also a unique 'dark chocolate' flavour, which produces a really lovely rich cup of coffee.
Just shows what happens when you experiment... I can see me sticking with this blend for a while, as it's very satisfying indeed:)
Marco.
Yeah I agree Marco.
At the moment I am not filling my hopper with 250g bags. I am putting maybe 100g in, then in the last 20g or so, mixing with 20g of something else. Or if the 1st 100g sucks, immediately go into blend experiment mode.
Yup, as ever, it pays to experiment!
What a difference in flavour though, going from 100% Arabica to something like this. The Coffee Masters beans are so much darker, plus they're also softer to grind. Arabica beans are 'crunchier' and much lighter in colour, but the combination of the two, in terms of flavour, is simply immense.
It's all a rather pleasant learning curve:cool:
