Costa Intensely Dark Amazonian Blend is also available in the form of full coffee beans but this review is for the pre-ground coffee. There’s probably not a lot of difference between the two forms but you will probably get a slightly richer taste if you buy the full beans and then grind them at home. […]
Lidl Beallarom Espresso is one of Lidl’s own-brand coffees. The bag states its strength is 5 out of 5. That appears to suggest a very strong espresso coffee but I am going to begin this review by saying Lidl Bellarom Espresso is a very disappointing ground coffee. Like some of the best Lavazza coffees, Bellarom […]
I’ll begin this Pret A Manger Organic Single Origin Light Roast Ground Coffee Review by confessing. Before I saw this coffee on one of the shelves in a local supermarket, I had never heard of the Pret a Manger brand. Foolishly, I presumed it must be one of the lesser-known brands of coffee.

Before I get into this review, I should point out Lavazza Crema e Gusto Classico is available as ground coffee and as capsules as well as whole (un-ground) coffee beans. This review is for ground version of the coffee but there the other two options are likely to taste and smell very similar. Lavazza Crema […]

I’m going to begin this Carte Noir ground coffee review with a brief history lesson. Carte Noir was originally a popular French brand of luxury coffee. However, the company has changed hands at least two times that I am aware of and is presently owned by Lavazza. As you may be aware Lavazza is one […]
Lavazza Qualita Oro provides a blend of Arabica beans from Central and South America. Like several other Lazaffa ground coffees, Qualita Ora is vacuum-packed to keep in the freshness. “Oro” is the Spanish word for “Gold.” Once you know that, it becomes easier to understand why this Lavazza coffee has gold-coloured packaging. Although it’s also […]
Taylors of Harrogate is the company behind Yorkshire Tea. That’s my favourite brand of tea. However, I had no idea Taylors is also a coffee brand until I noticed a bag of Taylors After Dark ground coffee sitting on a shelf at one of my local supermarkets. Apparently, the company has been in the coffee […]
