## Description

Product description Black Donkey coffee is carefully curated for java lovers from all walks of life. We only select premium quality beans sourced from Columbia, Brazil, Kenya, Ethiopia and India. Roasted regularly in small batches for consistent freshness, flavour and aroma. Our blends: ★ Intenso - Intensity 9 Full-bodied and strong, this intense Robusta coffee blend, rich in quality, brings you a round taste, a warm and enveloping aroma. ★ Supremo - Intensity 8 This blend is spicy and intense, with notes of toasted bread and a lingering aftertaste of cocoa Ingredients ground coffee

Review: Great coffee and a bargain too! - This pack contains 25 Intenso and 25 Supremo foil wrapped bags (I've separately ordered the decaff versions too). They are relatively strong in flavour, as expected for espresso coffee. The Supremo is more to my liking and the Intenso is my son-in-laws favourite (we are the main coffee drinkers). The Intenso is the stronger roast. The bags fit perfectly and the taste is consistent. I usually grind my own beans and use these ESEs as a quick substitute, but I am finding I am using them more and more. They work out about double the cost of grinding my own, however, 50 will last me a while, so the small extra is worth it. I have tried premium branded ESE bags before, but I can detect little difference between the Black Donkey ESEs and those that are three times the price. Why pay more I ask myself?
