“It pains me to write this review as I wanted it [and RAVE] toi be so good :-(
I was really looking forward to receiving my beans as a first-time customer, and when received they were literally a few days from roasting; if anything too fresh! :-)
Having now tried both roasts in this pack over a variety of methods [Espresso, Moka, Pour-Over], and over a variety of timescales [to let the beans mature], I must say I am a bit underwhelmed. The coffee whilst not bad, has not live up to my [over] expectations, and doesn't appear any different to a good quality supermarket coffee...as a result I am left with the thought "Why am I paying a premium for the same/similar results?"
Sorry RAVE, but I can only be honest with my opinion :-(...what is it they say "It's no you (love), it's me"....
...I may give RAVE another chance by trying a different bean/roast, as I would like to support them due to their excellent customer service; rare these days, so should be rewarded where possible! :-)”
“Very nice coffees. Signature blend is a nice smooth sweet one & Chatswood is right up my street, very very tasty and strong. Great black or with milk”
