Having a great time touring the Rinaldo’s coffee world. The El Salvador experience is wonderful.... my favourite so far with a smooth, creamy texture (& that’s without adding anything to it!)

2nd order of this latest cracker from El Sal, partly because it's a cracking coffee for my espresso, but also because my tea loving better half loves it as a latte. She says it's got "bags of taste, without the bosh!" I'll take her word for it as I don't drink lattes. As an espresso the chocolate notes were clearly evident and it ended with a silky sweet finish. With my newly acquired V60 (which is really growing on me) it's a really tastey brew without any bitterness. The same goes for my Espro and homemade coffee bags. On a grinder note, I set my grinder a touch finer compared to Brazillian, Columbian and Peruvian that I get from Rin. Oh, it's also nice as a snack too. I find myself sneaking off with a handful to munch on.

And the moral of this review, Tony... "never argue with Irene!"

.... on how good this coffee is? First time I tried this bean I was blown away. The second time I ordered it's equally as good. I always think 2nd time (or more) around is a good indication of the consistency of something like roast coffee. This didn't fail me. Keep up the good work boys.

My 3rd of 4 coffees that I got from Rin and this could be my go to bean. I love chocolaty taste, but this roast even smells of chocolate when being ground! It's so smooth with no bitterness at all. It's so clean yet so full of taste, making it a great brew in my cafetiere and a stunner for espresso. Tasting notes say it's chocolate with nectarine. Well I got chocolate on the grind, chocolate up my nose and chocolate in the cup. Triple whammy.

I bought this while staying in Ambleside and totally blown away by the taste. It feels like having spent so long looking for real coffee I have finally found it. And now want more of this and to try Rin's other coffees.
