“I purchased the 1kg bag of Rave Coffee The Italian Job Blend Nº 2 whole beans, hoping for a classic, robust espresso experience, and it absolutely delivers on its promise of a "full roast" with a rich, satisfying taste. The flavour profile is what a traditional Italian blend should be, IMHO. It's a rich, dark roast with prominent notes of dark chocolate and walnut. The taste is full and smooth, with no unpleasant bitterness, making for a truly "perfect" daily espresso. Upon opening the bag, the aroma is powerful, a clear indicator of its dark roast profile, but it is balanced by a pleasant, subtly sweet fragrance that is very inviting. The coffee has a full, almost velvety mouthfeel, rich and decadent. It has a satisfying, strong aftertaste that lingers pleasantly, providing a substantial caffeine kick, making it an excellent "wake-up call" in the morning. For those who love a strong, full-bodied coffee that punches through milk in lattes or flat whites but can also be enjoyed black, this blend is an outstanding choice. Rave consistently delivers fresh beans quickly and at great value, which only adds to the positive experience. It is truly an authentic, high-quality coffee for everyday enjoyment.”
“Lovely coffee, nice as strong without being fruity. It tastes great as an espresso and in a flat white. The house smells great in the morning when this is being brewed”
“Good value dark roast if you like your coffee a little bit stronger, than the signature blend, I have tried some of the more expensive blends which also have a great taste, but the Italian blend combines great taste with affordability.”
