    Or I could give it to guests who drink instant with milk and sugar and they'll think I'm giving them gourmet coffee

    I have to say for £3.29 a pack the Tesco Colombian Supremo beans often see off some single origin beans at over twice the price . . . go figure!

    Leave them for two weeks and try again. They night become drinkable.

    Coffee is variable to say the least. You'll get an amazing one, order it again, and it won't be amazing. Especially true of small producers.

    Yes agree, they've had two weeks now but they may improve with a little more resting. I can't complain really as they were an offer, 20 quid for 1.5kg isn't bad, maybe they were inundated with orders and paid a bit less attention to the roasting?

    Haha, "coffee is variable to say the least" . . . you got that right for sure

    What is interesting is that mixing them 50/50 with the cheap Aldi beans really produces a nice cup, better than the sum of them both individually. Or maybe I've just got weird taste?

    No just find what you like.

    I am familiar with that Tesco Columbian you like.

    So try Taylor's of Harrogate Cacao Superior Columbian. It is rich and gooey and not at all bitter. I keep seeing it in Sainsbury's for £3.50 but usually it is £4.50.

    Their Praline one is good to very good sometimes.

    For £3.50 I think it beats the Tesco jobbie by a long shot. But for what you have said try the Cacao.

    Thanks, I'll look out for that, I do seem to favour Colombian beans.

    Tis good at £4.50 but at £3.50 it is a steal.
