Quite an enjoyable washed coffee to start your mornings with. I do prefer it cold with milk, the taste is almost akin to a filter experience. I couldn't really distinguish much sweetness. If you prefer more traditional coffee flavours, I would steer away from this. If you're open to new experiences, I would recommend trying this.
This was my favorite coffee when I lived in Melbourne for 2 years. Definitely had that "cappuccino on a rainy morning" vibe. I've been scouring Brisbane since trying to find that type of coffee again, but no luck. I'm so happy that Direct Coffee sells this, and at a better deal than ordering direct from Axil. The roast date was ~ 2 weeks prior to getting on my doorstep, which is excellent for interstate delivery.
I don't get heaps of flavours slapping me in the face. I find this well balanced and very smooth. It can take milk well. I usually opt for black, this coffee works for both camps.
I drink dopio with this bean every morning. It is dark roasted but doesn’t leave any bitter aftertaste.
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.
