Doncafe Minas Serbian Ground Coffee 500g

I am Serbian and typically purchase a European coffee called Bravo from a local coffee shop. Very pleased with this Amazon choice. Plus I make it the old fashion way (stovetop light boil pour into small cup).

I'd never had Turkish coffee before. I feel like that's important.I'm hosting a Serbian exchange student this year who introduced me to the concept and said that this is the stuff her family buys, and that she's used to making it "strong" for her father, and she'd be happy to make some for me too.Y'all ... I love coffee. I received an espresso machine for my birthday this year and a quad-shot is nothing but a friendly morning perk-up. I made this according to my student's instructions. She said "do you want sugar?". HAH. What am I, an amateur? No, make it like your family has it, I'm sure it'll be fine.HOOOOOOOLY NEVERENDING STORY. After the coffee had cooled down, I finally tasted it and my eyes shot open. It was like a hitherto unknown third eyelid had suddenly peeled back and I could see the shape of the cosmos in the paint of my porch walls. I was seized by an irresistible urge to achieve anything and everything, all at once, before breakfast. Jittery? You could've measured my vibe on a Richter scale. And the best part? It wasn't even slightly bitter. Like when the diner coffee is strong but only because it's been condensing on the burner for like an hour and the resultant tar could be used to waterproof a canoe? NOT LIKE THAT. It tastes like purity. Like coffee with all the frills and frou-frou stripped away to reveal the naked beauty of a transcendent caffeine experience.I don't know what else goes into this coffee. The souls of small newborn animals? A small percentage of a nondescript illegal substance? WHO KNOWS. Not me. And I don't care, either. I made myself espresso the next day and it was like training wheels. Regular coffee? Kids stuff.So I guess what I'm saying is: I fully recommend this coffee to coffee lovers everywhere who do NOT have underlying heart conditions or who may be prone to panic-highs. Ignore the instructions on the bag, they're for weaklings. Use 500mL of water and about 5 heaped spoons of this stuff and don't forget to cultivate the foam. You can thank me later once your hands stop shaking and you're no longer fighting the urge to scale Everest in your underoos. Go ahead and type out that novel you've been thinking about.You're welcome.

good, packed well

My favorite coffee

The best coffee is packaged in the Balkans

Good Taste

This coffee is terrible. Very bitter. We drink this style (Turkish/Bosnian/Serb/Greek/Albanian) coffee everyday. My husband is from Kosovo and has drunk it all his life. We have tried many different brands. I had never seen this one before and thought, why not? I took one sip and went back on Amazon right away and ordered new coffee from a brand we know we like (even though I am notoriously cheap!) I tried it again today and it is so bad I decided to write a review. Coffee of this style should be strong and bold, but it should be smooth and round even chocolatey. This one is bitter, harsh, and flat and would turn anyone off this style of coffee.

I was happy to finally find some Serbian coffee. I will def order again sometime
