Beans – Dừa Blend by Vietnamese Coffee Co – 70% Robusta & 30% Arabica – Medium Dark Roast Whole Beans – Coconut Coffee – For Espresso, Bean to Cup Machines & Phin Filter – 220g

This Vietnamese Coffee Co. Dua Blend coffee has just the kind of dark nutty flavour I enjoy in coffee, especially coffee from the SE Asia region, but there just isn’t enough of it. The description promises a hazelnut note and it delivers that together with a natural sweet and slightly chocolatey note and quite a dark roast, but it’s slightly weak overall and I find myself using more of this coffee per pot than I would normally. The coffee can stand being made strong without turning bitter but it does mean an already pricey coffee becomes even more expensive. Overall it’s very drinkable and has an interesting and satisfying taste but I’m not sure it justifies the price.

Very nice coffee, would have been 5 stars, but just way to expensive at £40 odd per kg, especially when I use approx 2kg a month. At £20 per kg I would consider buying it all the time

This review is for the item described as “Vietnamese Coffee Co - "Dua Blend" (Coconut, Hazelnut, Fragrant) - 220g Coffee. The bag doesn’t come with a valve unlike all the other non-instant coffee I’ve had in recent times. I didn’t get a very strong aroma when grinding the beans. I am just an ordinary coffee drinker - not a connoisseur. I was unable to detect coconut or hazelnut, and I didn’t find it particularly fragrant compared to other coffee beans I’ve ground and made coffee from. The coffee tastes good but it is more expensive than other brands I’m used to which also taste good. I’m taking one star off for that reason.
