Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee 454g Beans

Order this coffee regularly it’s the only coffee my husband drinks mp. Expensive but tasty

I was pleasantly surprised at the shipping time, which turned out to be far shorter than projected. The coffee, as other reviewers have noted, is top notch: smooth, complex, yet well-balanced. I mostly used it in my Aeropress, where it shone, but also tested it on an espresso-level grind in my La Pavoni. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for espresso, but the results were great just the same. The question is whether this should become one's daily grind: for me, I'm not sure quite yet due to the price and the uncertain shipping time.

Answer = A lot & yes. I bought this basically to see what all the fuss was about and to see if a £44 bag for coffee could be at all worth it for a new to quality coffee drinker at home. I thought if its that good given the price, it'll be an occasional drink like my 25yo Talisker whisky. Huh, I'm totally hooked and I'm afraid this might be my default coffee. There will be other coffees of course that offer a bigger kick for the morning etc. But wow I absolutely love this coffee. Easily the best smelling coffee I've experienced, exquisitely smooth, it's like coffee nectar and an incredibly long cocoa finish. Not tried it as an espresso yet, only cappuccino and straight coffee w/hot milk. Is this the "best coffee ever"? Well can you have "best ever" coffee given it's so much down to personal taste. But it is going to a be a regular for me; it's not the most complex coffee for sure and not cheap, but it's still monstrously cheaper than Starcrooks charges for their swill, but it is IMO absolutely delicious. probably buy the 2.2kg bag next time.

First, it's worth acknowledging that this is expensive coffee. There's no getting around it and that high price is due to both quality and rarity. To qualify as genuine JBM the bean must originate in the Jamaican Blue mountains between the altitudes of two and five thousand feet. Its a thin strip of land that has a limited output which makes JBM one of the world's rarest coffees. That is reflected in the pricing. That aside this is a genuinely unique and lovely drink with a really well-balanced flavour and medium acidity. You can find cocoa notes in a mildly sweet, medium strength cup. It's an essential part of my morning routine. Coffer Roasters treatment of the bean is great. I have never received a bag ruined by overroasting, something I can't say for other suppliers. I prepare my coffee using either an aeropress or pour over methods and this bean suits both methods. Four stars, one knocked off for the understandably high price.

It is genuine and gives you special experience.

Love it but when hopper ran out I re filled it with £5.75 Lavazza beans which I use aswell. No one could tell the difference and kept on praising their amazing tasting and expensive bean to cup. I'd buy again though.

One of my favourite beans, though being blue mountain it’s fairly expensive. Depending on your general palette it might not be the kind of thing you go for, I don’t drink coffee black so I can’t vouch for much there. It’s not a really bitter brew but if you’re not familiar with coffee you are probably better off getting some cheaper beans. The beans I got were of a mixed roast, so there were some fairly lighter coloured beans and then there were some darker colour beans. This means the roasts are irregular and they’re probably just chucking them all into one big batch. Like another review, some beans were over-roasted yes.

Why did you choose this product over others?: Hideous pricing but soooo soooo nice and smooth and flavoursome ... of course if you want to really get a sense of perspective I saw this in a shot in London and it was DOUBLE ... but it is really nice.
