The pods don’t work well in my nespresso machine - the coffee doesn’t pour at the speed or amount that they should. The taste of the coffee also isn’t really to my liking when compared with some of the nespresso samplers that were provided with the coffee machine.

Hi there, thank you for leaving a review of Pact’s coffee! We’re sorry to hear that you don't feel our coffee is worth the price compared to what you can get in supermarkets, and I'm happy to explain why our coffee costs a bit more. Naturally we do hope you enjoy the quality of the coffee but understand its not always to everyones taste - the cost per bag of our coffee comes from its specialty-grade quality, the care taken in roasting and processing it, and the care taken by the farmers to produce this fantastic crop! Every bag of coffee delivered to your door goes to ensuring that the farmers get a great wage for their work, from House coffee through to Micro-lot. Unlike supermarkets who buy commodity coffee, we buy speciality coffee via Direct Trade with our suppliers. We pay farmers at least 25% above the Fairtrade base rate and last year we paid on average 65% above Fairtrade base rate. This is based on the average price per lb that we paid in 2020 of $2.32 vs. the Fairtrade base rate of $1.40. And this means we're able to support farmers around the world more than we've done before to actually make a profit so they can build sustainable futures for their farms and families. We hope that by giving farmers a decent price for their beans, they can be paid their worth and reinvest into their farms and community. We really do see this make an impact, and so with each coffee you receive, we let you know what difference Pact has made to the people who grew the coffee. As a result of this, and us delivering fresh coffee to your door at your convenience, we appreciate it's a bit more pricey than supermarket coffee, but we think the difference speaks for itself! I hope this helps explain and if you have any further questions, please do get in touch with our CS team at ahoy@pactcoffee.com or over the phone on 0203 095 3975. Have a lovely day!

Really not blown away to be honest. I've had much nicer coffee from the supermarket for half the price.

Service is very good. I want a coffee that has a stronger flavour and AROMA. What do I have to do to get a coffee that smells like coffee used to smell?

Reason for the 2 stars is the number of times the coffee actually arrived. Customer service emails are meet with automated responses and 2nd attempt when completely unanswered. All round seriously poor service. Loads of other subscription services out there, suggest avoiding this one.

I have been ordering coffee (a pack) every week for last 3 months. I usually pick medium fine ground coffee for a stove top percolator. But, for last two weeks, I have been receiving quite coarse ground, which is surely not brewing well is the percolator. I'll possibly try for another week and if it's the same, I may unfortunately have to stop buying coffee from Pact.

I have only had two deliveries and so far have not been impressed---so much so that I am thinking of cancelling completely ---both left an odd flavor---difficult to describe and not very pleasing --and tried with my morning coffee routine and after dinner!!

The quality of the coffee itself is good, but this goes wasted once the beans are over-roasted to a crisp (and clearly too fast, too enthusiastically) so that all you can taste is a burnt kick with no body and no hold. Also the espresso blend was way too coarse. Overall it could work for a neofite hipster coffee fanatic, but not for the standards of an Italian coffee drinker. I appreaciate the sentiment and the branding efforts, but overall it's a waste of good beans.

Was impressed to start with, coffee was very nice, then I shared my code and was told I'd get £5 off my next order, I didn't get £5 off my next order, I emailed customer services but have not had a reply.

I am something of a coffee snob. My son directed me to your site, an opportunity for him to benefit from a discount. I decided to try the more expensive coffee you had on offer. I was most disappointed with what I recieved. Since I had a discount to use up I ordered a different but equally expensive coffee. This was much better but, I am not sure I would risk paying such a premium price for a hit or miss experience.

I love the idea of making my coffee with filter paper and a dripper. It’s much easier to clean up than a cafetiere but the house coffee from pact has not won me over. It’s a bit too bitter for me, I like a very smooth coffee.

Hi Yvie, thank you for leaving a review of Pact’s coffee and service! I hope we have now helped solve the issue, which was the grind size not being appropriate for your brewing method. I really hope you can enjoy your next coffee delivery with us. Thanks for your review, and for being a part of Pact.

The grind on the coffee was not right. When trying to use this coffee with my espresso machine, water could not pass through the coffee in the portafilter. The coffee looked finely ground and the bag was labelled with espresso grind, so I will not be purchasing pact coffee again.

I loved the Pact Coffee story and mission and was really excited to try their sustainably sourced organic coffee. I use a nespresso pod machine to make my coffee and unfortunately was a little disappointed with the strength of the coffee that were made from the Pact pods. The taste was nice but compared to nespresso, the coffee didn’t have the depth of flavour and strength compared to what I was used to. I would still like to try the pact blend packed coffee for my cafetière but would not order the pods again with the current formula/process in place.
