Having gotten into the hobby of making coffee, I've been constantly trying to find the right bean for me. Funnily enough, I found that tesco finest colombina supremo was the best coffee for my taste that wasn't at an outrageous price point and that was readily available. However, these only came on 227g bags. Being in a household where atheist 3-4 cups of coffee is drank in a day, having to buy multiple bags a week was both a nuncance and impacts the environment through the level of packaging. Tapping the coffees name into Google, coffeepod do supply 1kg bags of beans with the same name (Whether or not these are the same bean is another question). So I purchased myself a bag, which was quick and easy on the website, it got delivered by royal mail in two days with plenty of wrapping to keep them safe and fresh. The beans are lovely and likely my goto place for them from now on. Great coffee, great service! cheers folks!

Disappointed :( After using the Mio Modo machine for a few years with the original pods, I decided to try the decaf pods (as prefer decaf and the Original Mio pods don’t have the Swiss water decaf … and so I currently use an aeropress and grind the decaf beans myself, when want a decaf coffee). I was quite excited to find these compatible pods but they’re not even a close 2nd to either the quality taste and richness of the original pods, nor the Swiss decaf that I make in my aeropress. I found that the foil top (as apposed to the more dense fabric-type original pods) appear to tear slightly and leech too much of the grind into the machines tray and not enough to brew through to the coffee itself, also leaving un-dissolved coffee grind at the bottom of the cup too. Also evident when emptying the tray, which has lots of coffee in with the water, as apposed to just water with the original pods. Also - (which admittedly they don’t claim to be compostable anyway), in this climate I like to compost or recycle as much as possible and it doesn’t feel right throwing the used pods into general waste) Overall - if the coffee taste, quality and richness etc was all still good despite the issues above I would have given probably 4 stars, but it’s bland and wishy-washy, no depth and generally not enjoyable, therefore find I’d rather actually go without .. but I still have 2/3 a box left :/ and hate waste! 😬
