A wonderful selection of coffees selected specifically for bean-to-cup machine use. Whether you're a seasoned coffee connoisseur or a new convert to the world of freshly roasted 'real' coffee, these six varieties will tingle your taste buds and allow you to sample the very finest Bean-to-Cup coffees in our range.

Please note that our selection packs are not available on our Next Working Day delivery service.

Our selection packs include six 60g bags of the following coffees:

Monsoon Malabar

Monsoon Malabar, picked in the Malabar region of India, one of the wettest regions of southern India, undergoes an especially unique process to bring out the bean's fullest flavours. Straight after being harvested the Malabar beans are transported to open warehouses along the Malabar Coast, where they will be exposed to the harsh, moist winds of the area's monsoons for around three to four months. While they are stored in these open warehouses, the beans retain moisture from the monsoons and swell in size, losing much of their acidity in the process, resulting in a heavy bodied coffee that displays a wonderfully mellow flavour, with aromas of chocolate, spice and nuts. This strong coffee, unique to the coastal regions of Karnataka and Kerala, makes an excellent espresso when dark roasted, but also blends incredibly well with other varieties.

Caffè Marcos

Our premier blend of expertly roasted coffees from the very finest plantations in Central and South America, mixed with complex tones from African and Indian speciality beans for a deep, rich and full-bodied coffee. A slight hint of acidity is balanced beautifully with a mellow flavour in what we consider to be one of our greatest ever blends. Perfectly suitable for an exquisite espresso, Caffè Marcos forms the ideal base for all manner of coffee drinks. With a strength level of 8/10, flavour and aroma of 7/10, along with that low acidity characteristic, Caffè Marcos is sure to become your new favourite espresso coffee.

Director's

With an intense, spicy taste and a wonderfully full body, this Sumatran-based blend is ideal for espressos, packing a strong punch that's not often encountered in blends, yet retaining a complexity of flavours that's not always easy to find in stronger coffees. The big, powerful flavours of Director's linger superbly on the tongue, but aren't so oppressive that you can't enjoy this blend filtered or prepared with a cafetiere. Our Director's blend is especially good for those who enjoy a bit more strength in their brew, and is roasted upon order to guarantee a fresh, aromatic coffee that's sure to become a favourite.

Buckaroo

Not for the faint-hearted, our Buckaroo Blend is strong, darkly roasted and straight to the point, with a kick that's sure to get you moving first thing in the morning. While this blend is great in filter coffees, it really comes alive as an espresso, where the deep, rich aromas and powerful flavours are brought right to the forefront, giving your senses a wonderful wake-up call and lingering on the tongue long afterwards. Roasted to order, our Buckaroo blend with arrive to you with all the freshness and power sealed inside, ready to be enjoyed.

Golden Crema

This is the crème de la crème of coffee blends, a robust, rich and bold coffee of the highest quality to spoil yourself with at any time of day. The strong blend makes an exquisite espresso that could be just the thing to give yourself a midday pick-me-up.

Italian

The same blend as our Continental coffee, but roasted slightly lighter so that the same great flavour is produced without the oily characteristics, making it ideal for smooth and intense espressos. While our Italian is classed as a strong coffee and is best enjoyed as an espresso, you don't need to feel restricted to that single drink. Why not start the day with Italian coffee beans as a base for your favourite filter coffees, and enjoy a powerful, full-flavoured experience.

The pack offers diverse flavors - some stronger than others - helping customers discover favorites before committing to larger bags. A few noted all beans tasted similar or wished for bigger sample sizes, but overall found it "great value for money."

Sample packs: A great way to try before you buy!

We have just purchased a bean to cup machine and we’re not too sure of the best beans to buy. This is a great way to try before you but in bulk! We especially liked the Caffe Marcos, Italian blend and Directors Coffee. All rich, strong and smooth without the bitterness and astringency often found with other types of coffee. We will certainly continue to explore other blends within the range!

A really good range of beans. Some I liked, some I didn't, but it was a good way to try them out and find the ones I really like and will order again. Each pack makes a generous 6 cups of coffee with a few beans left over.

High quality samples

This is a great way to check out a range of different coffees and means it takes out the risk when making a full pack order. Each of the six packs makes about six cups of coffee, which is enough to get a good feel for the taste of each. As for the samples, they were all of high quality, with three emerging as my favourites.

Tasting menu

We have had a subscription for 1 coffee type for some time and fancied a change. We purchased this pack to discover a range of coffee we could try. Pack was delivered on time, each sample makes 4 double expresso cups. We then make notes on each one. Each one so far has different taste and flavours but all have been good quality. Excellent product to try different coffee types

Great but better if the selection was regularly changed

While my favourite coffee from Coffee-Direct is Monsoon Malabar - highly recommend, I like a change from time-to-time. So, I enjoyed trying the Bean-to-Cup Selection; however, it is disappointing that the selection is not regularly changed to try other varieties from their extensive range.
