☕ I drink coffee black.

M&S - French Style

Roaster/Brand: M&S
Origin: United Kingdom (that’s what it says???)
Roast:: Dark
Brew Method: AeroPress
Price: £7.95 / 500g
Rating: 4/5

Notes: Really enjoyable. Deep flavour, sweet but in an earthy heavy sense. Medium mouth feel, not a lot of aroma though. No bitterness or drying feeling. Reliable dark roast.

Union - Revelation Blend

Roaster/Brand: Union
Origin: Guatemala, El Salvador, Rwanda, Burundi and Costa Rica
Roast:: Dark
Brew Method: AeroPress
Price: £18.75 / 500g
Rating: 2/5

Notes: Was alright, nothing special. Wasn’t much flavour, just hint of sweetness.

Coffee World - Greek Coffee Special

Got this as a gift, not entirely sure it was actually roasted in Greece though…

Roaster/Brand: Coffee Island
Origin: Brazil, Ethiopia, India
Roast: Dark
Brew Method: AeroPress
Price: £26.00 / 500g (I think)
Rating: 3/5

Notes: Good bitterness and acidity but not too acidic. Heavy mouthfeel in a good way. Deep earthy aroma. Solid coffee overall.

M&S - Organic Nicaraguan Ground Coffee

I accidentally bought ground coffee, didn’t check if they were beans but we move…

Roaster/Brand: Marks & Spencer
Origin: Nicaragua
Roast: Medium
Brew Method: AeroPress
Price: £10.46 / 500g
Rating: 3/5

Notes: Smooth, slightly chocolatey with a hint of nuttiness and gentle depth. Subtle chocolate aroma that fills the room lightly. Pleasant medium-full body. Another reliable M&S coffee, pretty solid medium roast option.

Pact Coffee - House Blend ☕

Roaster/Brand: Pact Coffee
Origin: Blend
Roast: Medium/Dark
Brew Method: AeroPress
Price: £19.90 / 500g
Rating: 4/5

Notes: Milk-chocolatey with light caramel sweetness, medium-full body, subtle aroma. Reliable but a bit pricey — can get better value elsewhere.

M&S - Peruvian Coffee Beans ☕

Roaster/Brand: Marks & Spencer
Origin: Peru
Roast: Dark
Brew Method: AeroPress
Price: £9.91 / 500g
Rating: 3/5

M&S - Roast & Ritual ☕

Roaster/Brand: Marks & Spencer
Origin: Brazil, Ethiopia, Peru
Roast: Medium/Light
Brew Method: AeroPress
Price: £7.71 / 500g

Notes: Sweet, earthy, fruity flavor with hardly any bitterness. Mild aroma but great mouthfeel. Extremely reliable everyday coffee.

Caravan - The Daily All Day Blend ☕

Roaster/Brand: Caravan
Origin: Guatemala, Peru, Brazil
Brew Method: AeroPress
Roast: Medium/Dark
Price: £16.00 / 500g

Notes: Nutty notes with balanced bitterness. Aroma lacking but decent flavor. Enjoyable but overpriced; wouldn’t choose regularly.

Ueshima Coffee Company - House Blend ☕

Roaster/Brand: Ueshima Coffee Company
Origin: Between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn
Roast: Medium/Dark
Brew Method: AeroPress
Price: £9.00 / 500g
