Cheap and very cheerful. £2.30 for 227g, which is around a £1 per 100g. I found this to be a coffee lacking in character or interest, but great for everyday drinking. Fully roasted so the full flavour of the coffee comes forth, yet not harsh or bitter, this makes an easy drinking coffee packed with roasty, toasty flavours. There's no acidity (Continental is an extreme roast, usually used for espresso, so all acidity and local character is burned away in the roasting), which suits me. I am perfectly happy with this. It's very flexible and forgiving as regards amount of coffee or length of time, so I don't need to be fussy when measuring out the coffee nor when timing the brewing. Makes a decent and satisfying brew every time. Nice roasty flavours combined with a smooth oily sweetness.
I'll be trying more continental blends.
4/10
