 ... quite nice, it's rated 3/5 so not strong but it had a full roast flavour, however it didn't "do what it said on the tin". On opening the packet a good waft of fresh coffee emerged, but no smell of figs.  I used about one scoop of coffee per cup, it wasn't strong but also it wasn't bitter and perfectly drinkable - I really don't like bitter coffee.
