Union Coffee | Daily Roast Coffee Beans | Dark Roast | Pack of 1kg

Roast quality

These beans I've been enjoying for some months now either through Amazon or supermarkets. We are using bean to cup mostly and sometimes ground in our espresso classic style machine. We've tried this both ways and works for both. The company obviously are ethical and give fair price to the people involved but the price is also affordable fir what you get which is high end coffee, with not overly roasted, and fresh beans. The taste is well rounded with low acidity which I prefer for coffee in general, as it works with small amounts and large amounts of milk, but just as well as a black coffee without bitterness. The bag size means better value and less packaging too. I recommend this coffee.

I had a long string of trialing many different coffee beans on Amazon and I think I have now settled on this one. It is tasty and rich and smells fantastic. Coming in a larger bag is also a lot more convenient than the generally smaller bags of other brands, I think it also works out that I'm spending less for the weight too which is obviously a bonus. This is by no means a cheap coffee. I've spent more and I've spent less but this falls in a range I'd consider good for the price. Once you dial in the grind size and the brewing temperature for it you begin to get repeatably decent cups with some nice round flavour and of course the obligatory chocolate you can get from Arabica. My current method for this one is the Aeropress because I feel it brings out the best in this kind of coffee, where a Moka Pot or another method either bring out too much or not enough, in my opinion. One thing to keep in mind is the bags are not resealable by design. I tend to just use a plastic clip to seal it back up which works fine for me but if you have a coffee container that would likely work better for keeping it fresh, though I haven't had a problem with the longevity just yet. Just give it a go, there's no harm if it isn't for you. I've just found for my tastes and purposes it works better than the dozens of others I have bought in the past few years. I'll be buying more from them, maybe a lighter roast as is my preference, but more for definite.

After my previous coffee (from another brand) became unavailable, I decided to try this. Now I'm not what you would call a coffee connoisseur, but since getting my bean to cup machine a couple of years ago, I do like a good cup of coffee and used the machine daily, sometimes 3 or 4 times. I find this coffee pleasant tasting, suitably strong and with a good taste and aroma, no bitterness on the palate. I would say for me this coffee is my favourite and I have just placed my third order. Its a good allay coffee for me, I'm just as happy drinking a double espresso or a long coffee (sometimes both together!). Very nice coffee.

Tastes mild for a morning coffee. It is marked as hand roasted, however the beans looked mildly roasted or do not appear to be roasted.

Good quality beans

Could have been more bitter. It's smooth, tasty and good quality but it needs a bit more bite.

Edit - Updating my review after having better learned how to use a French press. No roast date, only the best before. Decent taste, I can't feel anything special like with some other blends (my palate my need more training), goes well with milk. It feels different from how good the reviews I've read said it was but it's honest for the price.
