My first ever order from BATW. Fast delivery from Vancouver to Alberta, only took 2 days. Roasted fresh to my order. Delicious flavour. They live up to their standards. Consistent roasting from bag to bag, I ordered four bags. I now have a five pound bag of signature espresso on the way, very excited to get it dialed.
Reading other reviews for this coffee has me a little baffled. I found it to be smooth tasting, no bitterness. However the taste is bland without a real coffee taste. I tried 3 different grinds and it never changed the taste/flavor. When I opened the bag and smelled the beans I didn’t get a coffee smell. The next day I got the coffee smell from the beans. Not my favorite.
We love this coffee! We bought a few small different bags of different beans a year ago and love the Italian roast and now buy the 5 pound bag every time!
Since I live in a relatively rural area of the Cariboo, I buy the Italian blend of beans in 5 lb bags. I burr grind the beans to a near expresso grind since I enjoy my coffee alittle on the stronger side. This coffee is rich, smooth and leaves none of the aftertaste so many of the coffees leave. To me, this is a "perfect" everyday coffee.
This is the second time I purchased this product. I am very satisfied with the taste and the quality of the beans. I highly recommend you give them a try if you are looking for a delicious cup of coffee.
