I think we have found our favorite Rave Coffee, definately the Italian Job Blend No 2 which is a lovely rich flavoured coffee. Our other favorite is the Signature Blend No 1. We have tried different blends which are all fabulous but keep coming back to these two. Ordering is easy and very efficiant post delivery.

I have tried quite a lot of different coffees, but the Italian Job No2 is the one I always come back to. If, like me, you dislike bitterness, Italian Job No. 2 is perfect. Strong with intense full rounded coffee flavour, but smooth without the bitterness.

If you want a coffee that feels like more than a morning drink—something that actually elevates the ritual—Rave’s Italian Blend is it. This isn’t just another dark roast trying to be intense for intensity’s sake. The moment you open the bag the aroma hits you with a wave of smoky sweetness and deep caramel, and it sets the stage for the entire experience. The flavor profile is where this blend really shines. It has that classic Italian backbone—rich, bold, and beautifully roasted—but there’s finesse in the balance. The first sip starts with a chocolatey heaviness that feels smooth rather than bitter. Then the subtle notes come through: toasted nuts, a hint of molasses, and a whisper of spice that lingers pleasantly on the finish. It’s the kind of complexity you usually have to hunt for in a dark blend, but here it’s obvious from the first cup. The crema is thick and luxurious when pulled as an espresso, and the texture is silky no matter how you brew it. In milk-based drinks it doesn’t get lost—instead, it cuts through with that classic espresso-bar flavor you think only exists in Italian cafés. It’s robust and confident without ever feeling harsh. What makes this coffee exceptional is the balance between strength and refinement. It’s bold yet polished, powerful yet smooth. You can taste the quality and the care in the blend, and it absolutely lives up to its reputation. I’ve tried dozens of “Italian style” roasts over the years, but Rave’s version has that authentic old-world depth while still tasting fresh and vibrant. If you’re looking for a coffee that turns every cup into something memorable—whether you’re waking up slow or pulling a late-night shot—this is the one. Full flavor, full character, zero compromise. A stunning blend. Truly exceptional.
