This tastes like coffee….. but a lot better!

Lively coffee beans

I'm new to bean-to-cup coffee making and only recently started drinking my coffee black so as to be able to fully appreciate the taste of fresh coffee. Up until then I was a white, with one sugar, instant coffee guy.The machine I use is a  De'Longhi Magnifica ESAM 4200.S  .So far I've tried 4 different types off coffee bean and 2 of those were from Aromistico and this is my favorite so far. I don't really know the right words to describe coffee but this was nice and strong, not too bitter. I only know to use the word bitter as I tried another coffee (Tesco Finest) and that was definitely 'bitter' (I think!).The product description says "SMOKY, MALTY AND DARK CHOCOLATE-LIKE" - well, I like dark chocolate and smoky flavours. Perhaps my taste buds need some training but none of the coffees I've tried taste anything like the exotic descriptions the manufacturers claim!! To me this is a nice, full bodied, strong and rich tasting coffee that makes my house smell lovely!The other Aromistico coffe I tried was  AROMISTICO | Intense Crema Light Roast  which is described as "FRAGRANT, SWEET and BERRY-Like" so I was expecting a sweet treat. Wrong! It did have a nice smell but the taste was a bit bland for me even with the strength set to Max on my Delonghi. Perhaps I need to stick to dark, strong coffees.Anyway, I'm looking forward to my next 2 packs to arrive while I try out some others bought locally.

It is a perfectly good coffee for my cold brew unit,but I found it a bit too expensive as I have bought other which are as good but cheaper.

I bought the Garda and Napoli whole bean blends by mistake not realising the cost - £45/kg based on the 200g bags sent.That said I couldn't really fault the coffee, fresh, tasting notes are accurate.... I really enjoyed them.Are they value for money? I never spend that sort of money usually for everyday coffee so I don't feel qualified to say but one thing's for sure....... I won't be reordering!

I received this today and I’ve already made 3 large coffees with my bean to cup machine. Absolutely delicious coffee. Exactly as described, chocolate/caramel tones. Highly recommend.

I'm one of the few that unfortunately cannot touch Caffeine as it will put me in A&E due to my heart trying to stop, for years I had to stay away from Tea, Coffee, and particular brands of chocolate. In the last year I had discovered the swiss water method which removes the caffeine without the use of dangerous chemicals.Aromistico is one of the few that I have narrowed down to have great taste, smell, and a good cost. I do prefer a deeper roasted flavour but this one cuts through, no bitterness, a nice sweet flavour with a gentle smokyness to it. It tastes great with Cream / Milk and Sugar / Honey or on its own.I would recommend this to anyone who is in a similar situation medically like myself, or someone who is trying to get away from Caffeine but not wanting to give up coffee for good.Well done Aromistico, I will definitely buy more! - P.s. buy a large bag of Ameretti biscuits to accompany your cup!

Pleasant coffee milder than I would like so using more beans as a result.
