Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee 454g Beans

It is genuine and gives you special experience.

I was pleasantly surprised at the shipping time, which turned out to be far shorter than projected. The coffee, as other reviewers have noted, is top notch: smooth, complex, yet well-balanced. I mostly used it in my Aeropress, where it shone, but also tested it on an espresso-level grind in my La Pavoni. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for espresso, but the results were great just the same. The question is whether this should become one's daily grind: for me, I'm not sure quite yet due to the price and the uncertain shipping time.

Why did you choose this product over others?: Hideous pricing but soooo soooo nice and smooth and flavoursome ... of course if you want to really get a sense of perspective I saw this in a shot in London and it was DOUBLE ... but it is really nice.

First, it's worth acknowledging that this is expensive coffee. There's no getting around it and that high price is due to both quality and rarity. To qualify as genuine JBM the bean must originate in the Jamaican Blue mountains between the altitudes of two and five thousand feet. Its a thin strip of land that has a limited output which makes JBM one of the world's rarest coffees. That is reflected in the pricing. That aside this is a genuinely unique and lovely drink with a really well-balanced flavour and medium acidity. You can find cocoa notes in a mildly sweet, medium strength cup. It's an essential part of my morning routine. Coffer Roasters treatment of the bean is great. I have never received a bag ruined by overroasting, something I can't say for other suppliers. I prepare my coffee using either an aeropress or pour over methods and this bean suits both methods. Four stars, one knocked off for the understandably high price.

Love it but when hopper ran out I re filled it with £5.75 Lavazza beans which I use aswell. No one could tell the difference and kept on praising their amazing tasting and expensive bean to cup. I'd buy again though.

One of my favourite beans, though being blue mountain it’s fairly expensive. Depending on your general palette it might not be the kind of thing you go for, I don’t drink coffee black so I can’t vouch for much there. It’s not a really bitter brew but if you’re not familiar with coffee you are probably better off getting some cheaper beans. The beans I got were of a mixed roast, so there were some fairly lighter coloured beans and then there were some darker colour beans. This means the roasts are irregular and they’re probably just chucking them all into one big batch. Like another review, some beans were over-roasted yes.

Tasty!

I've been ordering this coffee for about 9 months now and other than a small batch of Hacienda La Esmeralda Geisha which I got as a present, and which is a bit pricey to order regularly, this is the best coffee I've ever tasted. I'm not a coffee expert, more an enthusiastic addict .. but everyone I've served this coffee too has commented on it, and I can't find anything else I prefer. It's very mellow and smooth, with a really nice subtle nutty / fruity taste, and it packs a decent punch when served on the extra strong setting from my machine, with slightly less milk than you might serve with other coffees. It's a coffee where you probably do want to experiment with the strength and milk ratio to get it right for you, but I can highly recommended - it's delicious!
