FiXX Seattle | Coffee Beans| Ethically Traded Coffee | Great Taste Award Winner 2019 | 100% Arabica | Colombian Coffee | Medium Roast | 250g

Lovely Coffee just the right balance of sweet and bitter for a latte. I can see why they have won a great taste award.

My husband is the coffee addict in our family and so he was the one who worked his way through this. Like most other reviewers he was somewhat underwhelmed by the flavour of this coffee. He found it pleasant enough but said he wouldn't buy it again as the aroma just wasn't rich enough for him.

Just before Christmas I invested in an Aeropress coffee maker which has revolutionized my enjoyment of coffee. Instead of using a filter machine that makes a jug of half a dozen cups of coffee, usually only one of which ever gets drunk and the rest poured down the sink cold, the Aeropress makes one cup at a time, and the taste is impeccable. One big thing I've gained from the experience is a deeper enjoyment of various different coffee types.So, this is a Columbian coffee that has been ground in Dublin and under the Fixx brand. Sealed very firmly in a metallic orange pouch, the design on the outside with little touches like the zig-zag trimmed front label shout of something that might stand out on a supermarket shelf, but of course here we are buying it online where different metrics apply.I've been drinking coffee for 43 years now, after discovering Gold Blend when I was 12. In my early twenties I explored ground coffees and quickly settled on Columbian as my favourite. But times change and nowadays it's a coffee type I only buy occasionally. I usually have a bunch of packs on the go, because as I say, the Aeropress changes the way you drink coffee, and packs last a lot longer when you only drink one scoop at a time from them.Making this Fixx coffee in the Aeropress and adding Oatly Barista milk ends up, no matter how strong I make it, in very smooth and not unpleasant taste. Describing it as not unpleasant sounds like being damned by faint praise, but actually coffee can quite frequently taste unpleasant, especially when strong, and that's not the case here.But at this cost-per-pack I really need a taste that's more memorable than this. I'd certainly try the Fixx brand again and would offer this coffee to someone who expresses a preference for Columbian.

Not great, lacked punch. I put in extra spoonfuls, but still lacked flavour.

Sad to say that this is pretty poor stuff - light on flavour, heavy on price, it seems to be a prime example of style over substance. I had to load twice my usual amount of coffee to get a reasonably strong cup, and even then it just made it to acceptable. At the price, not a brand I'll be revisiting. (Oh, and it isn't ground, blended or even packed in Seattle - it's produced in Dublin under licence).

This FiXX Seattle Ground Coffee is an acceptable coffee, with a reasonably good flavour and with no bitterness. Perhaps ideal for everyday drinking. If you're concerned about the source of your coffee this is well worth considering,.

The coffee matches it description well. It is a good sharp coffee for the morning or after a meal to clear the paletter

I found this coffee quite weak - but then I do prefer strong coffee.It is a great grind thought - works really well in my filter machine and the aeropress
