Their Ethiopian coffee is to DIE for. I hope I don't regret sharing this with you...After I tried the first bag, I immediately ordered two more. Then I panic-bought three more. I would hate my supply to dry up - and so will you once you've tried it!

Quick delivery but delayed by royal mail's mis-postal. Well packed.

Great light roast coffee from the great origin of Ethiopia! There’s some really nice fruity notes in this Ethiopian coffee and coffee from this origin in general I think. What’s interesting is that the true origins of origins of coffee to me still look unclear, and it’s an exciting prospect if the Africas are the original place for coffee and as a result this could be near the origin point. I personally enjoy it black with a 1:17 ratio, I’d say 45 g coffee to 765 g water in a cafetière brewed for 6 minutes 35 seconds with a medium medium coarse grind. This recipe with the beans freshly roasted from green would be even better !!

Absolutely love these Ethiopian coffee beans! The light roast brings out such a smooth, bright flavor with a hint of natural sweetness. Perfect for pour-over or espresso, and the freshness is top-notch. The 1kg bag is great value, and the aroma alone is worth it.

If you’re a fan of high-quality single-origin coffee, this is a must-try. Definitely one of the best light roasts I’ve had!

i liked it because it had a pleasant taste

Quality coffee beans. Great tasting coffee in a very good price. Highly recommended!

I needed a fruity light roast quick & found this available for next day delivery via prime.

Down side is that instead of a roast date, it says AMZ Batch that is a month old. In theory this is okay as a light roast needs 2 weeks to settle but please add specific roast dates at this price point.

I brew it as an espresso (turbo Shot) & I get the notes promised. I found the flavour profile to be Pineapple & Mango in acidity moreso than taste. Whereas the sweetness & taste of the coffee is more jam/plum/berry-like.

You can get better tasting coffees for the price point but I'd be interested in giving this a go as a filter too. It's worth calling out that there is a strange taste probably from the packaging initially but it disappears as you keep drinking.

The coffee is very good

I got the 1kg bag after having tried the smaller version, and for some reason it didn't have the same intense taste and smell. Same flavour, just...tuned down really.

This Whole Bean Ethiopian Coffee from ‘We Are’ brand was an interesting experience. It’s not as strong as the Ethiopian coffee I’m used to, it’s more a slightly fruity flavour, so not a bad cup but quite mild compared to what I was prepared for.

The beans are good and the packaging is, at least, resealable, though we tend to pop the beans in a coffee tin with airtight lid anyway.

I find this coffee isn't particularly tasty, and find even with fairly significant adjustments to my recipe I can't get a tasty brew from it.

Coffee taste is very personal and i was a bit worried about these after reading some of the initial reviews but i found these coffee beans to be lovely quality and taste very nice indeed. They are a 100% single source Arabica which are my favourite type of bean and come from Ethiopia, although roasted in the UK.

Used in my bean to cup machine, absolutely no issue with using them, smells lovely freshly ground although they are weaker than my usual beans, i prefer a medium to dark roast coffee so even on the strongest grind setting i got a satisfactory cup but required less milk. This coffee is really pleasant though, smooth and tasty with some subtle fruity hints.

Small 227g bag which fills my machine up once and lasts us around a week or two, depending on consumption. This bag was £7.99 (at the time of order) which works out over £35 per kilo and about 3x what i usually pay so for me, the value is poor. The bulk pack works out slightly cheaper but still over double what i usually pay. This is nice coffee though, i recommend it but i probably wouldn’t buy it again because i prefer a stronger bean.

Great tasting coffee, grinds very well and tastes great
The flavour tones are accurate, especially the strawberry jam, I really got a hit of strawberry with it

It is quite expensive though, they are offering bigger bags at £24.99 per kg which is into the premium coffee market, and I'm not quite sure it's there

We Are Coffee Co’s 227g Bag Ethiopian Basha Bekele Whole Beans arrive in a standard 227g sized typically retail looking, branded but rather colourful bag. Looking over the bag I could not see any mention of the roasting or bagging date just a best before date which is not really what you want from coffee, however we pressed on and ground a portion of the coffee using a fairly coarse setting. Once the coffee was ground we proceeded to make a pot and try it out...this was a bit of an eye opener. The coffee has a nice fruity aroma and this is borne out by the taste which certainly carries fruity notes in a rather smooth in - as the packaging states - a light roast. This is certainly tasty but the downside if that it is almost a third more in terms of the price of some good coffees from a local marketplace coffee roaster. We did actually buy another bag to try a different blend, and that too was very nice – but it would have to be an occasional treat rather than a daily go to coffee.

This coffee has a smooth, fruity taste and you can tell it’s a light roast. I made it in my Aeropress and it came out great. I do wish the roast date was printed on the packaging.

This is a good quality coffee with a nice flavour. I'm not a coffee connoisseur so can't go into minute detail about flavour notes but it was enjoyable. I don't like my coffee too strong and this had a nice balance to it.

I'm fortunate enough to have a proper espresso machine and these beans produced a nice crema, although like any other new coffee it took a few attempts through trial and error to get the right grind size for the best results.

The bag came with a roasted on date sticker, which was just a few days before the bag arrived in the post. Without going straight to a roaster you can't get fresher than that, which is great. The use by date was a full 12 months from the roasted on date but for best flavour use as soon as possible.
