5.0 out of 5 stars Economical Italian (very dark) roast, good base for home blend.
Quick look:Name: Caffe Borbone Blue BlendRoast: Very dark (NOT Medium)Caffine Levels: HighMain aromas/flavours: Nuts, spice, chocolate.Best for: Cold brew, filter, drip.Other Notes: Very economical, very low acidity, would be good blended with more expensive gourmet beans.Longer Review:These beans are what you call an "Italian Roast" (not a medium roast as on the listing), which is about as dark as you an get before it's burnt and undrinkable. This is visible by the oil that's on the surface of the bean as well as the colour, and is one level darker than a "French" roast.Not too many commerical roasteries roast this dark, as there is a fire risk due to the oil (which comes from the bean), etc. I was very pleasantly surprised to find a proper Italian roast when I opened the bag.About half the beans are Robusta, with the other half being fairly low-grade Arabica, probably Vietnamese Robusta with South American Arabica (my guess is all or mainly Brazillian).Robusta beans generally have a nutty taste, which is represented fairly well in this blend, and have a much higher caffine content than arabica beans. This makes this blend a good morning coffee.The arabica in this blend has a good chocolate/spice flavour. The low grade of these beans doesn't bother me, as they have been roasted properly (and thus taste good), and the price is good.For me, it's a bit intense to have by itself enjoyably any way other than cold brew, but is a very attractive base for at-home blend with medium/light roast gourmet-grade arabica beans.Consider blending with light roast acidic beans (such as Ethiopean mocha) for a jack of all trades type of blend, or with more complex profile beans with low acidity (like Indonesian old brown java) for a dark, powerful, and complex blend. Start with half-half, then adjust to taste.
5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, well-rounded coffee with plenty of flavour
Oh, this stuff is good. I love my bean to cup machine and I've drunk far too much coffee for far too many years, but this is the first time I recall tasting a new brand and immediately thinking how creamy it tastes and feels in the mouth, and how rounded the flavour is. This might replace my previous long-time favourite. I would say that Borbone blue is a medium-to-dark roast with the robust flavour that implies, but there is none of the bitterness I often find with darker roasts and the crema is wonderful. Highly recommended.
4.0 out of 5 stars Strong Very Intense Roasted beans
Smells amazingly fresh and pure, but ultimately very much strong, it’s too strong for my personal taste (I prefer Colombian/Brazilian style coffee) Coffee beans too roasted, intensity 10 out 10. Notes does Remember me of a rich Cuban tobacco and chocolate.
5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Gourmet Coffee and budget price!
I make 99% of my coffee in my home. I tasted this Bourbon Blu in a cafe recently in the East End of Glasgow. There is an amazing wow factor to this Bourbon Blu. Immediately upon tasting this blend for the first time I asked the waiter about this coffee. I even asked the owner if I could buy a bag off him. He declined but thankfully showed me what 1kg bag looked like.Even more surprising to my first experience of tasting this coffee is when I looked online, to purchase, I was able to get it for such a cheap price. I was expecting this coffee bean to be in the more pricey gourmet range. A coffee to buy for a special occasion. Instead I am having a pukka gourmet experience.This coffee has a really nice aroma. A lovely dark chocolate coloured bean. As someone has commented above a proper "Neapolitan coffee" On my basic espresso machine each cup has a lovely velvet creamy head. It also packs punch in terms of strength.There is even more wow in the value. This coffee is of such quality strength, in the mornings, I only need to make two double shot Americanos; and that does me for the day. A single shot filled to the brim is also just as nice in terms of taste. Once again the consistency of the velvet head from coffee is something. In 30 years of making my own daily cup of Joe I have never experienced that before.Even more wow is the fact I managed to find a seller on Bolo and got 3 x 1kg bags for £24.99. I've not tried the Bourbon Red, yet. Bourbon Blu will be a staple in my home from now on. What started as a pleasant surprise over a Sunday lunch in cafe, is a wonderfully everyday experience!
5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly surprised
I usually stick with Kimbo extra crema but thought I'd give another Neapolitan brand a try. I only drink straight espresso so can't comment on how it goes with milk but I think these beans make a really nice coffee. Beautiful colour when extracted with a lovely strong flavour.Took a few attempts to dial in and get the right extraction but it certainly hit the spot once I'd got it right.I believe the vending line is a 50/50 blend of arabica and robusta.Roast is medium but I'd say it's more medium/dark. Definitely Italian roast.Production date was March 24 so just over 2 months old when I purchased which I don't think is too bad when buying via Bolo.Price was 25% less than the Kimbo I'd usually buy and I'd definitely try it again in future.
3.0 out of 5 stars My regular coffee
I like the quality of the coffee, however I'm now paying £5 extra for this as price has gone up all of a sudden which is disappointing. Not entirely sure, but at this rate it'll be competing with more sustainable options and I will have to stop purchasing.
5.0 out of 5 stars Really great coffee for the price
I found these coffee beans some time ago, I did not want to pay a lot for coffee beans and was trying around. I've discovered Borbone. I've been buying this coffee for quite a while now and changing between the tastes Red, Blue, Espresso Intenso. I love the price it is sold for and I love the taste as it gives the kick. I've met some Italians and they also said this is one of the top brands of coffee in Italy and I was not surprised by this as it tastes amazing. Would highly recommend as you won't find this quality for the price its sold for.
Słaba, bardzo słaba.
Fatalna kawa. Smród kiepskiej robusty w całym domu.
Excellent
Excellent quality beans. Excellent taste and aroma with no bitterness whatever strong you make the coffee. Very good for black coffee and for that with milk or syrup flavored
Café italien riche et savoureux
J’utilise ce café Borbone tous les jours dans ma machine De’Longhi Dedica depuis 2 ans. Les grains sont goûteux, aromatiques et donnent une crème parfaite à chaque tasse. Très agréable et constant en qualité.
Eğer bu kahveyse...
Başlıktan da anlaşılacağı üzere, eğer bu kahve ise, biz bugüne kadar kahve içmemişiz demektir. Mükemmel bir aroması var. Kafein miktarı bana göre biraz yüksek. Yüksek olması yine bana göre iyi bir şey. Tadı harika. Anlayacağınız, Robusta kahveyi Arabica ile mükemmel karıştırmışlar. Kahve kemeri denilen ülke dizinimlerinin hangisinden toplandığı bilgisi ambalaj üzerinde de yok. Keşke olsaydı. İtalya'dan ithal edilen bir ürün. Kahve için kullanılan çekirdeklerin Brezilya Robustası mı? yoksa Hindistan Robustası mı? bilgisi olsaydı daha aydınlatıcı bilgi olabilirdi.Ben espresso için almadım. Koyu bir filtre kahve içiciyim ve sürekli çekirdek kahve kullanırım. 7 oz ölçüsü kupa için 10 gr çekirdek kullandım ve istediğim tat alımına ulaştım. Paketi açtığınız an sizi rahatsız edecek bir koku hissedebilirsiniz. Ama bu kokunun nedeni kahvenin farklı yöntemlerle tatlandırılmasından kaynaklanıyor. Rengi çok koyu olan bu çekirdek kahveyi seveceksiniz.
