Advantages: Nice flavour and very strong

Disadvantages: May be too strong for many people!

I really do enjoy a good cup of coffee from time to time to kick start my brain! I have a cafetiere and indulge myself usually a couple of times a day as a change from my habitual tea drinking!

Priced at £1.28 a pack it was actually the cheapest coffee on display in my local Asda store and what swung me into buying it is not only the price of it but I wanted a really rich coffee but a change from my favoured French for a while!

The Packaging....

Dark bronze oblong foil bag and on the front I'm told it is 'Everyday' Dark Roast Ground Coffee which is strength 4 and suitable for percolators, cafetieres and filters. On the back of the pack I'm given instructions on how to make the coffee and how to store it, contact details for Asda are given, size is stated (227g and the only size this is available to purchase in as far as I'm aware of), the best before date is stamped on and finally there is a bar-code on there. Nice, neat straightforward bag....this is.

Directions For Use....

Suitable for all coffee machines except for pod machines and espresso machines.

As a guide we would recommend one rounded dessert spoonful of coffee per cup, but this may be adjusted according to taste. For cafetieres, percolators and filter machines follow the manufacturer's instructions.

The Coffee Itself....

This is actually a really superb coffee. It is medium/strong in strength/flavour but what is nice about this is that you can adjust the strength with your own judgement to how you want it to be.

The coffee itself is of course dried, dark brown and quite lumpy in texture. I use my cafetiere and the first time I used this I used 2 heaped tablespoons to make myself 2 cups of coffee and almost blew my head right off it was that dark and strong so for me personally I find one rounded dessertspoon to make me at least 2 cups of coffee!

It has a really roasted flavour to it and a slight bitterness and really smells it along with being so fresh and inviting. It has a smooth flavour and is incredibly dark and rich tasting.

Verdict....

A really strong coffee you can adjust to your taste once you get used to using it of course and it is trial and error! Great value you'll get loads of coffees out of this (again depending on how much you use per cup of course lol) but even so it's one of the cheapest coffees I've seen on supermarket shelves that isn't value or economy as such! very nice, this will get you buzzing around in no time!

Only available in Asda stores.

Summary: A great every day coffee as promised by Asda!
