Taylors of HarrogateRich Italian Coffee Beans, 1 kg (Pack of 2 - Total 2kg)

After having tried hundreds of different brands of beans I always return to Taylor’s. Lovely smell, taste and strength all at a very reasonable price. Sure I’ve had nicer beans but not at this price point. The perfect everyday blend in my opinion. Have bought again and again and will continue to do so.

Taylors of Harrogate Rich Italian Coffee is a true delight for coffee lovers! The bold, rich flavour is perfectly balanced with a smooth, aromatic finish that makes every cup feel indulgent. It’s ideal for making authentic Italian-style espresso or a satisfying cup of filter coffee. The freshness of the beans is noticeable, and the quality is exceptional. Whether you enjoy it black or with milk, it delivers a full-bodied taste that never disappoints. A must-have for anyone who appreciates a premium coffee experience!

Does not have too much of an aroma but still makes a decent cup of coffee. Taste wise, it’s not as strong, probably because it is a medium roast rather than a dark roast. Received on time. Amazing value with the discount

I've been grinding coffee beans for years and have a favourite I've stuck to for the last several years. Unfortunately I recently couldn't get my regular so had to choose a stand-in, so I thought I'd give Taylors of Harrogate Rich Italian Roast a try. I almost always go for an Italian roast.Since that day these beans have been my go-to coffee.It's a mid-strength roast with great flavour, not too strong and not too weak, needing minimal milk or cream if you use it.I would suggest you let these beans breathe for twenty to thirty minutes when first opened before using or sealing them into your regular airtight container. It simply helps get rid of the ashen smell beans can develop when in the bag over an extended time which can taint the flavour on early use.It's also well worth following the guidelines on Taylors' website as to what weight to use and soaking duration. It does make a difference and you might be surprised just how few beans you need per cup.Following Taylor's guide, I brew a single mug of coffee like this...15 grams of beans ground to a breadcrumb consistency.Boil water to 95 degrees (A kettle with varying temperature range is perfect for this)Coat the ground beans in the cafetière with around 1.5 cm of water from the boiled kettle. Put the lid on and leave for 1 minute.After the initial 1 minute add more water to reach the level equivalent to your mug. (250 to 300 ml) and leave to brew for 4 more minutes.While your coffee is soaking fill your mug with excess boiling water from the kettle. By the time your coffee is brewed your mug will be very hot and will keep your coffee at good drinking temperature for far longer.I personally like milk in my coffee so when the last four minutes is up I empty out the water from the mug and add around 0.5 cm of milk into the bottom of the mug. Pour in your brewed coffee, no need to use a spoon to stir as pouring in the coffee does this for you.This is the best method I've found to really get the flavour out of these beans if you'd like to give it a try. Enjoy.

One of the bags was open when it was received, the other bag was fine and these are nice coffee beans.
