Solo Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate | Espresso Strength | Instant Barista Grade Coffee | Iced Coffee and Espresso Martini Mix | 1L x 20 double shots

Makes a great batch of Espresso Martinis. Good flavour.

Purchased to save me using my nespresso coffee pods for espresso martinis at a party, and while it's a little pricey, it is totally worth it. Taste is nicely balanced, but rich and with a good texture. Has lasted well in the fridge and was ultimately a lot cheaper and faster than waiting for pods to brew. Will be buying again.

I ummed and ahhhed over whether to give this 4 or 5*. I started trying this earlier in the year and immediately loved it. It’s just so simple for the times when making my own cold brew batches doesn’t make sense for time wise. The taste is strong and consistent when used 1 part solo to 3 parts water. It’s smooth and I have found I barely want milk in it as the flavour is solid (benefit of cold brew over espresso left to go cold). However - my preferences are for larger drinks and so I tend to go 100ml of solo, 275ml of water and 25ml splash of milk over ice. This is fine but it means you simply don’t get that many out of a carton and at the current price - it’s a bit indulgent. Not hugely but the price point just seems a few points high. So I give it 5 stars for the taste and output - but I have to drop it to 4 stars for just being a tiny bit too expensive. But for those on the fence I just bought another 4 cartons to cover me over Xmas.

Editing my review because they seemed to have improved the taste of this coffee slowly in the last few months. It's now up to 5/5 stars for me. MAKE SURE YOU SHAKE!! The first time I got it I didn't shake and it was super weak until the last few cups. Oops! It's hard to find an unsweetened cold brew pre-made in the UK. Especially during the winter. Especially without sugar. This is an amazing option. The taste is incredible with just the right amount of chocolate and bitterness and it's caffeinated enough that I get the energy boost I need without the extra acid from heated coffee beans. It's concentrate, so make sure you dilute with water unless you want to feel like you can hear the blood pumping through your heart. I use a slightly stronger ratio than recommended with ice which continues to dilute it over time.

Normally, I think of cold brew as being a smoother taste than your standard hot brew. This coffee was very bitter (like a shot from Starbucks). So if you like a bitter dark roast taste in your coffee, then you'll love this. But for me, this coffee was way too bitter.

Bought to make Espresso Martinis. I don't really drink coffee at any other time so can't compare but tasted perfect for cocktails. Great substitue if you don't have a coffee machine or need to bulk

It was discustingly sour. Something was wrong or off even though it was in date. It was definitely sealed when it arrived, so couldn't have been that either. I've bartended and been a barista, it tasted like off cold brew. Had to throw out immediately.

We has a party with cocktails and the signature cocktail was of couse the Espresso Martini. Along with the other ingredients, this was by far the easiest method to make these cocktails as I've been to other friends and they brewed their coffees first and waited for it to cool down. This was by far a quicker method and friends seemed impressed. It froffed well when shaken with the other cocktail ingredients and i'd imagine would be great for iced coffees too.

Eignet sich perfekt um die Zubereitung von Espresso Martinis zu beschleunigen. Meine Gäste waren sehr angetan.

Geschmacklich der Wahnsinn, was dieses Kaffee bzw Espresso Konzentrat rausholt. Besser als bei vielen Bäckereien oder auch Cafés. Das Produkt kommt auf jeden Fall in meine Subscriptions und möchte es nicht mehr missen!

Hat geschmacklich und preislich leider nicht überzeugt.

Ich probierte diese Variante, da ich mir gerne im Bett schnell einen heissen Kaffee aufgiesse mit meinem Mini-Reisewasserkocher, meist einen guten Instant-Kaffee wie "Néscafé Gold", welcher mir, zusammen mit meinen Pülverchen, lecker schmeckt. Ich dachte, dieses Espresso-Konzentrat wäre vllt. eine gute Alternative dazu. Aber leider, geschmacklich möchte ich jedesmal meine aufgegossene Tasse Espresso-Kaffee in den Ausguß kippen, so untrinkbar erscheint mir, was rauskommt. Er ist einfach nur extrem BITTER - er schmeckt aufgegossen weder nach gutem Espresso, noch habe ich es mit Milchpulver, Vanillezucker und leckerem Vanilleproteinpulver geschafft, einen trinkbaren Geschmack als "Milch-Kaffee" zu erzeugen. Das ist ein bitteres, starkes Konzentrat ohne jeglichen guten Espresso-Geschmack. (Und ich mag einen frischen Espresso durchaus, auch als Gemusch.) Die Angaben zum Mixen mit Wasser oder Milch scheinen mir auch nicht korrekt zu sein - er muß sehr viel mehr verdünnt werden! Aber auch dann: ein geschmacklich guter Espresso oder Kaffee kommt dabei nicht raus! Jeder gute Instant-Kaffee zum Auflösen (siehe oben) mundet mehr. Auch als cold-brew wurde da nichts rausgerissen. Ich werde jetzt das restliche Konzentrat ins Klo kippen, ebenso wie die eben aufgegossene Tasse - es schmeckt einfach zu scheusslich, um damit den Tag zu beginnen und ohne Genuß an der Tasse rumzunippen und sich dabei zu ärgern... Sorry, nur 1 Stern.

Geschmack ist natürlich eine subjektive Frage, mir persönlich ist das Getränk zu bitter
