I have been trying various coffee/beans from Coffee-Direct and my latest purchase Ernesto has pleasantly surprised me. I will definitely purchase it again and has become a favourite. It is strong but not overpowering, smooth and full of flavour. Exceptional.

We've tried lots of coffees in our stove-top espresso pots and this is far and away our favourite .. full of flavour, robust, but soft on the palate
