Best coffee beans for black

If you like black coffee, this is it. I genuinely don't know how it could get any better, this is truly an astonishing blend, the flavour is not acidic like most other black blends on the market, it's sweet with so many notes of flavour that if you try and focus and find while savouring, you will have reached such an enjoyable moment of your life where you're able to sit in silence and think about those nice and complex flavours coming from all sorts of directions

Loved the earlier version. You shouldn’t have tweaked the mix.

A nice, straight forward blend and very nice with milk

Sounds impressive

Just not to my taste — not bad, but it doesn’t do it for me.
