Coffee Masters Triple Cert Arabica Coffee Beans 1kg

A couple of years ago I decided to try switching to black coffee (I have always taken milk in my coffee), however I the found ground coffee I was buying was absolutely undrinkable without milk. I never realised the bitterness that the milk was masking! I tried grinding some whole beans immediately before brewing the coffee and I found it made an enormous difference. (Both coffees were from one of the large German supermarkets where I do much of my day-to-day shopping). I then treated myself to a DeLonghi Magnifica bean-to-cup machine (which I love) which meant I would only be buying whole beans in the future. I tried a few different brands through Amazon, weighing up reviews v cost, but I really wanted to find a reasonably priced (and nice tasting) organic bean. Eventually I happened upon Coffee Masters, so I decided to try it with a single 1kg bag. Since then I've had two deliveries of the four-pack, so I'm currently working my way through my 6th kilo of these coffee beans. I decided to write this review today because I've served this coffee to four visitors to my house in the past week, and all have commented that it was lovely coffee (three of the four drank it black). And despite my never having really switched to black coffee myself after all my experimentation, I've been drinking a cup of this coffee black (no sugar) as I write this review. I didn't miss the milk until I got toward the bottom of the cup when it wasn't very hot. I'm sure grinding immediately before brewing, and the lovely crema that the bean-to-cup machine gives help to make the most of this coffee. I'm definitely not a coffee connoisseur, so I won't comment on the 'sweet caramel and chocolate tones' etc. , but I can appreciate the aroma when I open the bag and when the coffee is being ground/brewed (heaven!). It tastes lovely, and it's organic and fair-trade, so in my book it's an all-around winner. And with the 15% discount I get buying it as part of my subscribe and save orders, it's a good price for what I get.

I'm in the early stages of using this as It's for home consumption rather than a commercial operation. However, I did complete a home barista training course with Coffee Masters recently so I'm beginning to know what to look for in a good coffee. I've only had a few cups made with this batch of beans but the quality and taste are excellent. It's a great 'all round' coffee for beginners and hardened coffee drinkers. Good smell, deep flavour, smooth and lasts well on the palate. If I have a criticism, it's the packaging rather than the coffee. Because I'm not using lots of the coffee, ideally I would like a self sealing bag. It does have a one way valve, which is great until opened but then I had to find a way of sealing the bag or transfer the beans to an airtight container. I've opted for the bag in the short term but will see how effective it is. 500 gms would be better than the 1 kilo bag but I recognise it's really aimed at the commercial market so not a major issue. Overall, despite the comments, a great coffee.

I don't think of myself as a connoisseur, but I do drink a LOT of coffee, which can get a bit expensive, so I was really pleased to see Amazon doing these as a regular delivery. I signed up for 2Kg a month and sat back. The first month went well, getting through just over 1Kg, but when the second month came, I now had 3Kg of the stuff and I had started to realise that the taste wasn't... amazing. I'll drink anything, really, so I'll say that the taste is pretty good, for coffee, but nobody will write home about the quality of this stuff. It's drinkable as a breakfast coffee with your cereal, but not if you're wanting to make a statement with some dessert, or if you want to impress guests. For the price, this is very good coffee and great value for money, but 2Kg a month is too much. 1Kg would be about right for a moderaly heavy drinker. Where it falls down is the flavour. I can't help feeling that it just needed a tad more roasting to bring out a fuller flavour....

Since finding this brand on Amazon, we've stuck with it. Coffee is a bit subjective, some like darker roasts than others, so I'm not going to go into whether you'll like this, because it depends on what you're used to. But, I can say confidently that this is a quality product and we find it hits the mark for us, and offers fantastic coffee at the right price point. What I love is that it has a roast date! And, the roast date is surprisingly recent each time, which given the nature of how it's being order etc., is a great thing to see. I think the oldest roast date we had was 7 weeks, but usually it's been no more than a month from point of order, and you can tell. Great freshness, great coffee. Highly Recommend.

I’m no connoisseur but I do like decent coffee. And lots of it. For daily cappuccinos from my bean to cup machine this is my favourite blend of the many beans I’ve tried from this and many other brands. Of course taste is a personal thing, but this only leaves me wanting more because I love it. It’s a medium roast I'd guess, certainly not the darkest ‘glazed’ beans that often come marked ‘espresso’ on the packet. As such getting the strength right is easy to adjust for by altering the quantity without it becoming overpowering if I add a little too much. If I were pushed to describe it I’d say ‘full-flavoured, smooth with a lovely aroma, not harsh or bitter’. And it’s great value delivered next day to my door for about the same as the cheapest whole beans from the economy ranges at supermarkets. I empty the bag into a few Kilner jars and just dispense what I need as I go so it doesn’t spoil over time.

Edited: the company reached out and sent a replacement as they realised there must have been an issue with the bag I had. Possibly air entering the bag. The new product they sent me is very good and I totally recommend it. It is their 100% Brazil coffee beans arabica. It has a more pleasant taste. I will be buying that one going forward Excellent customer care I like how their packaging is eco friendly. It’s not resealable to the point where you can avoid oxygen entering the bag but you can put your beans in a well sealed jar and keep in a cupboard away from light. Previous review: I have experience with using espresso coffee machines and adjusting grind size and temperature and all that with a great quality machines I tried lots of coffee beans with better results and expected more from organic one. Very acidic!!

I want to just say a big thank you for such an amazing coffee, everything is perfect about it, freshness and quality!!!! Please, please don’t compromise in any way the quality of this product! Thanks again

Purchasing coffee or anything you need to taste online is always potluck. I've been buying coffee for many years and everybody naturally has their personal opinion on what they like and don't like. I was a little nervous about making this purchase but having read other reviews I decided to take the plunge. The quick delivery of the coffee was heartwarming. I ground some of the beans and describe the beans as dark, rich roast and full flavoured. The ground coffee smelt lovely. This coffee is probably a 4, in coffee strength ratings. I drinking this coffee first thing in the morning and after a cup, I definitely can feel my toes. Previously I have been drinking Arabic blends that are smooth and are a 3 rating but I love this coffee. It is a little stronger but is very satisfying. Drinking this coffee is the best way to start the day. I ground some of the beans and then put the ground coffee in the fridge. I know people argue about how to keep coffee. I was a private housekeeper and we kept the coffee chilled and this how I keep it at home. I am using a cafetiere because my ex-friend broke my coffee maker if Amazon would like me to test coffee makers I'm game.
