Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy Pele. Was there something particular about it that wasn't up to the mark? I know AXIL would appreciate the feedback. Cheers, Tim
Unlike other decaf beans, it was freshly roasted. I liked the fact that its roasting level is not too dark. It has a good fruity kick, which I really enjoy.
First time making decaf coffee roasted for filter. The pour over didn't go well, getting clogged very quickly by the fines. Not sure if a better grinder would help, but I think the decaf process makes the beans a bit more brittle. The aeropress worked well after some dialling in and I achieved a pretty good cup from there.
Of the four different coffees I bought this one stood out. Deep dark and fruity. Heart of Jesus .
Always curious as to how an espresso roast would work for cold brew. Had a nice full bodied and choc brownie fudge type flavour to it. Was fun to have for a bit.
Struggled to dial in for espresso as shots were coming out way too fast (both conical and flat burrs, grinding a lot finer than usual). Shots lacked body. However I tried in my Bruer cold brew dripper and really liked the results - lovely fruit flavours (peach, orange), black tea, hazelnut. 1 star for espresso and 5 for cold brew :)
Strong hazelnut aroma but that was the dominant flavour for me, didn’t get the caramel and chocolate notes.
One of my favourite espresso blends of all time - I remember trying this in 2013 at the Melb coffee expo, still as good as it ever was - smooth and chocolatey with hazelnut notes. Love it.
The coffee beans from the Pelé Espresso roast (roasted on September 12) appear to have lost their freshness entirely. It smells nothing!!!!!!Upon opening the bag, there is no discernible aroma, which is unusual for freshly roasted coffee. Additionally, the beans have a dry and dull appearance, lacking the expected slight oil sheen typically seen in espresso beans. The surface texture and lack of fragrance suggest that the beans have undergone oxidation and have exceeded their optimal freshness window, resulting in the loss of both aroma and quality.
Great coffee. Always makes an amazing long black and the smells!! Bring a wave of dopamine through my body when i grind it in the morning. Thank you :)
I really like this blend. As mentioned in the tasting notes, it has a distinct berry taste/flavour. Great when entertaining - have had lots of compliments from guests. its not a coffee people come across on a daily basis.
You definitely get the strawberry flavour, didn't get my son to convert to coffee though. It is a very smooth coffee and very tasty. It was polarising as my daughter didn't like it.
Not bad, not great - certainly not the fruit bomb flavours (Fanta, blueberry and plum) on the tasting notes. But an Ethiopian coffee is rarely terrible, and this still hits the spot…just nothing amazing.
Have tried dialling this one for more than a week now making 2 espresso's a day on my Breville Barista Pro. Can't get good results even hitting all the markers and making slight adjustments.
Sorry to hear that! Do you mind sharing if there was any specific element that wasn't nice? Too bitter or sour etc? Cheers, Tim
