Coffee Beans 227g Bag, Whole Bean Coffee, Colombian Decaf Coffee Beans
EDIT 191223
I was looking at getting more of this (I've purchased more in the past). However the price has increased by nearly 25% to over £10! However good the coffee is (and it's good), I'm not paying that price. I now need to look elsewhere for all future purchases of a different brand that is just as good
.
I probably have around seven standard cups of coffee a day, only two of these are caffeinated, the others are either Kenco instant or the Tassimo equivalent. I occasionally have a decaffeinated coffee in a cafe, but the taste is not as good as ordinary coffee. Likewise, decaffeinated coffee beans rarely have a satisfying taste.
I don't drink black coffee, usually adding skimmed milk to it.
I thought that I would give these Columbian decaffeinated beans a try, and I'm glad I did. When the bag was opened, out came this lovely aroma. The taste of the coffee was much better than previous decaffs I'd had. I then tried a small cup of black coffee and I was surprised how good the taste was compared to some black (ordinary or decaff) coffees I've tasted in the past. Not having much of a palate, I couldn't identify all the different flavours mentioned on the bag but there was definitely some different ones there.
I think I will try drinking more of this coffee black, just to enjoy the taste better without milk.
The price of the coffee beans is more expensive than generic shop-bought ones, but that is to be expected. For me, it is worth it to be able to have at least one decent cup of decaff a day. At about 25% cheaper, it is a more economical to buy the 1Kg bag of beans, but I may not get through them all within the advised time of three weeks from opening. We shall see! Meanwhile, there was about £1 off the 227g bags for a couple of days, so I ordered a couple of those to try out the coffee over a longer period.
