CRU Kafe Organic Dark Roast review
Origin: coffee from Peru, Indonesia and Ethiopia Intensity: 9 Buy: Order Organic Dark Roast at CRU Kafe , Order Organic Dark Roast at Amazon A multi-origin blend from CRU Kafe. Dark roasted, organic, Fairtrade and coming in 100% aluminium capsules. Brown foam. Malty and biscuit aroma, of a quite dark type. Sort of like an unsweetened toast. Medium body. Low acidity, as you’d expect from a dark roast. Bitterness prevails, with a pungent, nutty, aftertaste that is especially strong at lower temperatures.

CRU Kafe Organic Espresso review
Origin: an Arabica/Robusta blend of coffee from India, Honduras and Ethiopia Intensity: 11 Buy: Order Organic Espresso at CRU Kafe , Order Organic Espresso at Amazon A multi-origin blend of Indian Badra coffee, mixed with Honduras and Ethiopian beans.

Quite bitter at tasting, but also with quite a lot of acidity (from the Ethiopian beans perhaps?). Cocoa notes prevail, not of the dark cocoa kind but something more along the lines of a chocolate with milk. Mixed with the malt flavour it makes for a…

Ethiopia Review
Origin: Ethiopian Arabica coffee. Intensity: 4 Bitterness: 2 Acidity: 4 Body: 2 Roasting: 2 Order: Buy Ethiopia capsules at Amazon An easy cup, extremely light foam, thin even. Definitely a cereals/fruity smell. No acidity. Dense in the mouth, it fills it very well. Tends to linger on the back of the palate. Fruity flavours increase during the tasting, tending towards the orange blossom and ripe fruits.
