Vietnamese Coffee Beans 227g - Very Strong Dark Roast Vietnam Robusta - Strength 5 - For Coffee Machines & Vietnamese Phin Ca Phe Drip Filter & French Press - Brown Bear - Donation To Free The Bears

It's difficult for me to find real Vietnamese coffee beans, dark roasted locally. This blend is very good and has that strong taste that I am looking for. It's well packaged and good for the price.

Excellent fresh coffee, would buy again.

The taste was very nice, clearly the bean of high quality and fresh. If you like a smooth coffee with a decent caffeine content I would recommend.

More a medium than dark roast. Flavour is ok in a moka but seems lacking used in a cafetiere, a bit 'thin'.

Beans from my sample smelled and looked very fresh from the bag. Despite being a dark roast, the beans were not oily or shiny at all, which is a great sign of quality roasting. I used these beans with my Delonghi Primadonna bean-to-cup machine. Taste is delicious, if you're a fan of dark rich coffee that has a 'kick' to it, you'll absolutely love these beans. Espresso definitely has a lot of character, a lot of dark chocolatey and nutty tones that is very pleasant to the taste. Being a darker roast, do be careful with your machine settings to get the extrusion temperature right, otherwise you may get coffee that's overwhelmingly bitter. The real winner is when using these beans in a milk recipe, as the strong dark roasted flavours are tempered by the milk to offer a well-rounded and flavoursome drink. Cappuccinos and lattes were a favourite in the household with this blend. I also have to give a shout out to the roasters offering 5% of their sales to Free The Bears. It's a fantastic cause and a genuinely extra feel-good reason for buying more of their delicious coffee.

These coffee beans arrive in a securely sealed, airtight thick bag, keeping their flavour safe from light and oxygen during transit. They seem to have gone through careful processing and even roasting - no burnt or damaged beans here. The beans are plump, well-shaped, not too dense but firm, keeping their form and giving off a delicious, almost smoky-chocolaty aroma. Additionally, they have a nice oily gloss, finding the right balance between dryness and dampness. After grinding and brewing, I enjoyed a perfect cup of morning indulgence. With a rich velvety texture, it provides a deeply satisfying mouthfeel, blending robust smoky coffee notes with subtle hints of dark chocolate. Its low acidity, gracefully complemented by subtle sweetness, leaves a clean aftertaste. All in all, I would recommend this smooth and indulgent coffee for a satisfying morning kick-start.

Not great

This coffee is yet another incredibly delicious product by this company with a wonderful ethos. The beans arrived in a resealable bag allowing you to keep them fresh. The beans are a medium to dark roast and when ground are very versatile. They can be ground super fine to make almost thick black espresso or are great as a slightly closer to medium grind for use in a cafetière or other methods. The coffee is dark and rich with a strong bold flavour. However it is super smooth and really easy to drink. Overall I cannot recommend this highly enough. It’s a delightful coffee.
