COLOMBIAN BREW COFFEE Colombian Brew 80-20 Arabica Robusta Roasted Coffee Beans 1kg

To keep it short, the coffee is medium strength in flavor (mild) and anyone expecting it to be strong espresso-like flavor will be disappointed.I think for me its partly due to the fact that I am used to making my coffee in proper espresso-machines (using various local brands, CCD and even star bucks beans) that I found the taste of this coffee made in french press to be a quite soft for me. Whether its due to coffee or the using a french press, its hard to say (I will try their espresso grounds too to make sure if its their source itself thats soft/mild).Note that the golden ratio for french press is 1:17 coffee:water.The scoop included in the pack is around 8gm (10gm if you fill it full) so the water needs to be 150-170ml and brewing time of 4-5 minutes (though the seller recommends 8-10 minutes, I feel it burns the flavor of the grounds).Eitherway, I give it 4.5 stars for a few reasons:1. The coffee, mild/soft may it be, is still good and flavorful. Anyone upgrading from regular instant coffee will feel the difference and be happy, while anyone downgrading from espresso will find it as a good alternative for a soft flavor compared to strong espresso.For me, having a different flavor/strength option is worth it. I have actually been drinking my latte and bullet proof coffee with this french press grounds rather than espresso.2. This, and many of their other options and flavors, are KETO diet friendly.3. Seller included 6-7 different small samples of their other flavors and coffee types which really surprised and pleased me. Seller's response to my brewing questions was also quick.4. Value for money. This is 200g for Rs. 245 (CCD is Rs. 200 for 200gm and starbucks is Rs. 750 for 200gm).Using 8gm coffee per cup, this will make around 25 cups of coffee and the overall cost comes down to around Rs. 8-10/cup (without milk etc.)5. Its a little soft-mild yet nice flavor. Making a latte using it and almond milk feels like Starbucks taste.I tried a few different brewing time options and recipes which are below (ordered in my preference of what turned best):(I use cream and almond milk due to following a KETO diet, you can use any milk you want)1. 8gm coffee (1 scoop), 150ml water, 10gm amul cream, 100ml almond milk (milk and cream frothed)2. 8gm coffee (1 scoop), 100ml water, 100ml almond milk3. 8gm coffee, 50ml water, 150ml almond milk4. 8gm coffee, 150ml water, 10ml amul cream, 20-50ml almond milk (this one brewed for 8 minutes)PS: I am using boiling water from a kettle, rested for 20 seconds before pouring it in my french press

I liked the strong aroma and taste

Those people have taste for espresso and want espresso at home. Don't buy this. It has very, I mean almost no taste of espresso. Didn't like their other products too.

The price is much cheaper than all other brands available. This prompted me to try this once, even though preliminary research was negative. Other brands have 50 grams per pack while this one is 30 grams per pack, all suggest using with 500 ml of water. I thought it would be a bit lighter in taste and caffeine content, but as the price is low, I can drink more to make it up. However, when I tasted it, it turned out to be too bad. There is no flavour of coffee except the burnt coffee smell. Though they claim to use 100% arabica, it does not taste or smell like arabica, or very bad quality old stock coffee beans, supposed to be discarded. Nothing is good in this except the good branding and packaging.
