Advantages: Mellow and satisfying

Disadvantages: Can be overlooked as the label describes it as mild

Mellow Birds was always my favourite coffee, nowadays I stiil drink quite a lot of coffee, but seem to have moved to stronger granulated instant coffees, I thought Mellow Birds would probably now seem too weak and mild. Last week having run out of coffee I drove down to my local Murco garage which houses a Cost Cutter Supermarket, all the coffee seemed a bit pricey, at £1.99 for a 100g jar, Mellow Birds was the cheapest, so I bought a jar and am pleased I did. Coffee must be like an old friend meeting one again after a gap of a few years, and you soon see what you probably have forgotten : why you liked them in the first place.

A mug of Mellow Birds is a very nice coffee experience.Break through the gold seal of the jar and you find a lightish coloured coffee powder. It doesn't have a very powerful aroma, so doesn't seem very special so far. Personally I then add about double the ammount I would normally use, ie at least 2 teaspoonfuls, add just boiled water top up with whatever milk you fancy, check the colour is a nice rich brown, then drink, and enjoy."

I am not usually a fan of milky coffee, but it probably would be as good made with milk. The fact I really prefer instant to most other coffees may indicate a lack of good taste on my part, I remember not long ago watching Janet Street-Porter on TV refusing to drink coffee on the grounds that it was instant muck or some such description,, I don't care I like it.

Its easy to spot on the Supermarket shelf, its a plain glass jar, probably the only coffee on sale with a cheery blue and yellow label.Produced by Kraft foods, its a very distinctive warming coffee when made as suggested.I don't plan to forget it again, in fact I'll go and make a cup now.

Summary: Lovely coffee drinking experience
