Even though indicated as 3 on the British roast number scheme which puts it as a medium to dark roast, this is a burnt, dark roasted coffee in which all character has been removed, leaving only a burnt toast flavour. I have reduced the amount of coffee I use to half of normal, and cut down the brew time to half of normal, and it still delivers a powerful roast kick. Lovers of dark roasted coffees such as espresso would like this, but it's not for me. £3.29 for 227g from Waitrose.
