Coffee WorldSupremo Blend, Roasted in Cambridge, Whole Coffee Beans, Wholesale Cafe Bags (8 x 1kg)

This coffee is very wick and tasteless, it tastes like old coffee nothing like fresh roasted, will never buy this blend again even for half of the price.

My wife and I drink one, at the most two, cups of "real" coffee every day. Beans, ground and percolated and served with a bit of warmed up milk. So we both feel that if we're going to have such a relatively small amount then it should be good stuff and there's no point in saving a few pence by buying inferior product. Unfortunately that's exactly how I'd describe this.As soon as I opened the bag and smelt the contents I could tell that there wasn't going to be a lot of flavour forthcoming, and when I tipped a few out I could see that the beans were dull and dry looking.We've had about half a dozen cups each so far, and I made sure that the percolator was properly cleaned, but we both agree that it's pretty tasteless as coffee goes. Tasteless apart from what I described as a "zingy" aftertaste, and what my wife calls "green notes" or sourness. Neither of us has any idea what the proper terminology is, but we know that we don't like it.The bag came with, as far as I can see (and I've looked hard) no "roasting" or "best before" date. All there is, is a note to the effect that the coffee is packed immediately after roasting, but for all I know that could have been some time last year. I'm not saying it is, but there should be a date somewhere.Disappointing.

It’s a great big bag if you order 1kg so make sure you have somewhere to store it so the beans don’t go stale. The beans are dark and I know they are usually coated in oil but these were noticeably oiler than others I have purchased in the last. The taste is ok. I had to set the grinder to a more coarse setting because the water wouldn’t filter through the portafilter very well on fine. I usually make milk based drinks and it was ok for those. Tested alright. It was medium tasting and not too strong. There is no roasting date on these so they could have been in storage for months without knowing. If you have a decent coffee machine then these might get the best from these beans. If you are expecting a superior tasting coffee experience, then you will be disappointed. It’s a bit meh!

Both me and my partner tried these coffee beans as we both like coffee a different way. I prefer coffee with milk and sweetener and my partner prefers espresso or filter coffee is he's working at home.I personally really liked these beans as I don't like my coffee to be too strong and overpowering. The mild bitterness and flavour come through nicely with the milk and the sweetener and created something I have been really enjoying over the last few weeks. I find the flavour is quite bold but it is not overly bitter which I think goes well with the addition of milk. My partner has been enjoying his coffee as well, he said he didn't find these beans to be too bitter but he also felt that the caffeine he got from it wasn't as strong as other coffees he has had. He said that he preferred his filter coffee over his espresso but both were pleasant and tasted nice.Overall, we both enjoy trying different brands and types of coffee and this was overall quite pleasant. Something nice to give a go, especially if you don't like overly bitter coffee.

As a regular drinker of coffee from ground beans, you can get a little snobby about it all. I like something with a bold flavour that borders on the aggressive. This is not to everyone's taste and is certainly not what Coffee World are trying to achieve with their 'Supremo Blend'. It seems a boastful roastful with a name like that when they describe the strength at being at the mid-range.This is exactly were the coffee sits. Somewhere in the middle. This makes it a good drink for the irregular fresh coffee drinker or one who likes a lighter flavour. I know that my partner prefers this coffee over the bold ones I offer. A large 1KG pack will make lots of coffee and the bigger you go, the better value you will receive. Personally, I would prefer a harsher flavour but as a mid to mild coffee it is very drinkable and won't put off those that don't drink coffee all the time.

This is a large 1kg bag of coffee beans, some of the beans looked drier than the other and to me, it looked as if they were from different roasting batches. I have my grinder set to a coarser grind and this worked well for my machine as well as for my cafeteria.The flavour of the beans is a mid-range one, what I would call a good average flavour. Ideal for social gatherings where a large pot of coffee is sat on the table. If you prefer a more robust caffeine kick then this isn't it, but it does have a pleasant flavour.This brand also supports Shelter Box which I noticed on the back of the pack while I was looking for the roasting date, which I have not found. The beans are packaged after immediately after roasting.A pleasant tasting medium strength and flavoured coffee that I would recommend.
