Pelican Rouge Barista dark roast Whole BeanCoffee Blend 1 kg

+ Price is fine for the quality. This coffee is for those that do not like the strong acidic taste of pure arabica. It has 20%robusta which gives the coffee a roasted taste. This blend is perfect for your everyday coffee and think it will be great for latte or cappuccino. Also the exact weight of the item is 1013g, in case someone was wondering if it is 900g according to a review from another customer. However there is something I did not like much. The coffeebeans in general are a bit grease which can be attributed to some extra added oil or grease to make the beans to look better which they also usually do for lemons. This can damage your Caramic grounder in your coffee machine. Anyway you should buy them and compare to your previous beans if they have more of the greasy stuff. As I will also double check

I use these beans in my espresso machine currently for espresso shots and with milk for cappuccinos and flat whites. They have a very nice decent taste that isn't too bitter; nor does it have a burnt taste which you can tend to find with the cheaper varieties of coffee beans due to poor batch roasting.Overall: A great everyday coffee, nothing too fancy but a great value for money. They allow a decent and somewhat enjoyable experience to a daily activity. Great freshness and no problems present in the quality of beans.

The media could not be loaded. I am always going to the super market to buy coffee beans and over time I have noticed that they really do not like to put too many beans on the shelf. This kinda annoyed me so I decided to search for coffee on Amazon and I came across this coffee.First of all it arrived super fast and intact.Second I did not realise how big this bag was going to be until it was in my hands, You are getting a lot of coffee for your money with this bagNow to the coffee, I am a lover of espresso the stronger the better but my wife likes a mild to strong coffee and this one hits the spot. Now just because I drink a lot coffee and it has to be from beans I am not going to sit here and say things like "it has a hint of chestnut" or "there is a real earthy flavour with vanilla under tones" lol because coffee is coffee to me its either nice or not so nice and this coffee is VERY NICE.If you love the quality of coffee that you get in the cafes then this coffee will please you very much and it will last you a long time saving you many ££££'s

I'm really impressed with this coffee. I'm not a coffee connoisseur in the slightest. I just love a good bean to cup coffee, and this makes for a great cuo. Never before have I thought that the coffee tasted as profiled. This coffee took me aback because it really does have beautifully rich dark chocolate notes, with nutty undertones. It's a tad bitter but just how I like it, not very acidic, and a real kick when it comes to caffeine. That and the fact the crema is really thick and abundant on my espressos, as opposed to other coffee beans I've used. Great bang for your buck, I really recommend!

For anyone on here shopping for something to daily drive on their Sage (Breville) Barista Pro or Barista Express this coffee is a life saver!The flavor profile has a very wide appeal, I can’t imagine anyone would hate it - I personally love slightly smoother blends with a Robusta edge to give them some bite. If you’re a fan of those very fruity acidic blends or a nice Ethiopian single origin this won’t be your favorite coffee - but it’s pretty good.Where this coffee shines though is being an extremely forgiving coffee to dial in on your Grinder. For those proud but still slightly novice home espresso enthusiasts like me, it’s really frustrating wasting upto 100g of every bag of coffee dialing it in this coffee is a welcome relief.It still took me a few shots to get it just right but none of it went down the drain! This coffee seems to be pretty drinkable 1, 2 or even 3 Grind settings too high or too low! You can tell easily enough it’s under or over extracted and tweak accordingly but it’s still pretty palatable before you get it right! Makes life just that little bit easier!

I purchased these to try as i tend to stick to a French Roast (strength 5).Thought I'd give them a try as they were on offer. Personally they are a little weak on flavour for my liking, but mixed with some french roast beans they are acceptable.If you are looking for something that is gentle of flavour with a creaminess, then these are great, just a little bit weak for me.

These beans snell fabulous each time that I open the storage container that I have them stored in. They grind down perfectly, I use my nutribullet to grind my beans, and I use the coffee in both a cafetiere and an espresso machine.In my cafetiere I can see a slight oil residue on the top of the coffee.This coffee is in my opinion a 4 in the coffee strength scale. Slightly strong but not at all bitter. I use a rounded coffee scoup in my cafetiere and find this is enough to give me a full bodied coffee in the morning and it's fabulous as an after dinner coffee.If you like an alcoholic coffee this is perfect and marries beautifully with whisky or tia Maria.I drink my coffee black with no sugar so notice if coffee is bitter and I'm often disappointed with big brand coffees but this one is superbly strong with no bitter after taste. It would make a perfect gift for a coffee lover.

Tried this instead of another main brand coffee bean when we'd run out and this was available via prime next day delivery but our usual wasn't (unless we bought 6Kg).Found it really good. It's a strong flavour roast so be careful if you like a smoother coffee. As others say, some beanss are darker than others, but maybe this is because it's a blend of two different types of bean rather than uneven roasting. Having got through 3 bags now, it certainly doesn't effect the taste which is consistently good.Switched back to a Lavazza blend just to compare, and will definitely keep going with this brands instead now, and it's cheaper, maybe with the odd Lavazza now and again just to have a change
