Bought a KG of Jim's reco. A good Italian engineer friend of mine liked Illy a lot. Done those a few times. Never enamoured.
Done a few Lavazzas but not this one. Gonna treat it as a good value backstop. Unless proven otherwise.
Dr Strangelove by Extract of Bristol is my current high end recommendation at the mo. With a warning. Each cup of it you make will taste different. Evidently it is called Dr Strangelove for a reason.
It may need a month to start to stabalise. Well, that's my theory so far. More experience required.
That said, I wouldn't want to change it in any way.
That BB date is amazing. Presumably unopened before then. Do you believe it?
