Very easy to work with and pulls a good espresso or ristretto.
Also good milk based coffees if that’s your thing
Code Black Coffee - Seasonal blend - Espresso roast
Makes a delicious brew. The honey flavour really comes through.
I combine the heavy weight espresso with pele blend , best espresso in the world .
I have been hooked on Axil coffee since their Hawthorn cafe opened. Their seasonal blend is like a morning hug in a mug, perfectly suited for my taste buds' not-so-sophisticated desires. My wife, a woman of finer things, enjoys it with a splash of milk. I, on the other hand, prefer mine like a long black soul - dark and intense.
Listen, there are zero complaints about the actual coffee. It's fantastic. My only qualm lies with the packaging. That colour scheme? Oof. It's like a highlighter exploded in a disco ball factory. Not exactly calming for those precious pre-caffeine moments. But hey, that's what cupboards are for, right? The minor, aesthetic hurdle for a majorly delicious cup of coffee.
This might be the best bag I’ve got from code black, disappointing I’ll have to wait till next year for it again.
Fantastic with milk, the fruitness of the blend really shines after the initial burst of vanilla. Not for those the prefer a more rich chocoaltely flavour. Can't wait to try black.
Dull
Hey Johny, Sorry to hear you found this blend dull :( Would love to hear some examples of blends you do like so we can make some suggestions? Cheers, Tim
DG is a good coffee however does not playout well on my ECM. Not knocking the coffee but didn't do the job for me. Lack of flavour and gusto.
Hey Vish, sorry to hear you didn't enjoy this one. Would to suggest something else! Are there any other coffees that you've particulary enjoyed?
Best coffee blend ii have purchased. First found at a little country Cafe in corryong, victoria. Velvet smooth with a slight hint of chocolatey flavour.
Exactly as described on the label - like chocolate ganache and mixed berries. Lovely smooth mouthfeel and finish. I drink espresso but also great in milk. Well balanced and not acidic.
Used in Micra with HE basket and Niche Zero.
Great flavour
Fresh
Great company
Quick delivery
This batch quality is not as good as previous batches.
Sorry to hear that! Are you able to send us the roast date so we can follow this up with Code Black?
the dark roast is nice with milk and i enjoyed it. I'm generally not a fan of many dark roast beans. This one hits different and much more enjoyable.
Consistently yummy shots. It's a no surprise, straight up, chocolatey nutty coffee in a fun retro tin at a very good price.
