Colombian Brew Arabica French Press Coffee Powder, Dark Roast Strong, 100g

To keep it short, the coffee is medium strength in flavor (mild) and anyone expecting it to be strong espresso-like flavor will be disappointed.I think for me its partly due to the fact that I am used to making my coffee in proper espresso-machines (using various local brands, CCD and even star bucks beans) that I found the taste of this coffee made in french press to be a quite soft for me. Whether its due to coffee or the using a french press, its hard to say (I will try their espresso grounds too to make sure if its their source itself thats soft/mild).Note that the golden ratio for french press is 1:17 coffee:water.The scoop included in the pack is around 8gm (10gm if you fill it full) so the water needs to be 150-170ml and brewing time of 4-5 minutes (though the seller recommends 8-10 minutes, I feel it burns the flavor of the grounds).Eitherway, I give it 4.5 stars for a few reasons:1. The coffee, mild/soft may it be, is still good and flavorful. Anyone upgrading from regular instant coffee will feel the difference and be happy, while anyone downgrading from espresso will find it as a good alternative for a soft flavor compared to strong espresso.For me, having a different flavor/strength option is worth it. I have actually been drinking my latte and bullet proof coffee with this french press grounds rather than espresso.2. This, and many of their other options and flavors, are KETO diet friendly.3. Seller included 6-7 different small samples of their other flavors and coffee types which really surprised and pleased me. Seller's response to my brewing questions was also quick.4. Value for money. This is 200g for Rs. 245 (CCD is Rs. 200 for 200gm and starbucks is Rs. 750 for 200gm).Using 8gm coffee per cup, this will make around 25 cups of coffee and the overall cost comes down to around Rs. 8-10/cup (without milk etc.)5. Its a little soft-mild yet nice flavor. Making a latte using it and almond milk feels like Starbucks taste.I tried a few different brewing time options and recipes which are below (ordered in my preference of what turned best):(I use cream and almond milk due to following a KETO diet, you can use any milk you want)1. 8gm coffee (1 scoop), 150ml water, 10gm amul cream, 100ml almond milk (milk and cream frothed)2. 8gm coffee (1 scoop), 100ml water, 100ml almond milk3. 8gm coffee, 50ml water, 150ml almond milk4. 8gm coffee, 150ml water, 10ml amul cream, 20-50ml almond milk (this one brewed for 8 minutes)PS: I am using boiling water from a kettle, rested for 20 seconds before pouring it in my french press

Columbian green coffee is something I tasted once and loved it's flavour hence ordered for 4 boxes together (comes in 2's) which is 8 boxes and its 10 per box. The only I'm upset with is when I received the parcel I haven't opened all yet so the packet I opened in that out of the 2, 1 was open but when checked inside it was all in good condition and the sachets were correct in number and condition so din bother to complain. But however by far I have used 5 out of the 10 in that box and 4 out of those 5 have been torn inside. I have attached the image for reference.However I still will say it's worth the buy it's tastes and smells good. It's feels like an infusion of some herbal teas and coffee and the mild smell (I'm glad it wasn't some strong smell or else it would kill the whole experience) of coffee is so refreshing. But they surely need to look into this one issue. Cause yes I'm worried about other packs which I haven't yet opened.. I hope they are in good condition..

The price is much cheaper than all other brands available. This prompted me to try this once, even though preliminary research was negative. Other brands have 50 grams per pack while this one is 30 grams per pack, all suggest using with 500 ml of water. I thought it would be a bit lighter in taste and caffeine content, but as the price is low, I can drink more to make it up. However, when I tasted it, it turned out to be too bad. There is no flavour of coffee except the burnt coffee smell. Though they claim to use 100% arabica, it does not taste or smell like arabica, or very bad quality old stock coffee beans, supposed to be discarded. Nothing is good in this except the good branding and packaging.

After a lot of research, i ordered this - mainly cause it came in an attractive looking packaging and had some decent reviews. The coffee powder smells like you have just entered a Starbucks, but the final product has almost no aroma. I use 1-1.5tbsp for a decent cup of black coffeeOverall,1. The powder smells really good, but is not as strong. I used 1.5tbsp for one cup2. Came with a bunch of sachets of Instant coffees and teas - the quantity for the coffee powder is too less for a decent cup. Though the gesture was really pleasing3. There was no measuring spoon4. One of the tin boxes was dented and a few of the sachets were not sealed entirely.
