This strong coffee is full of character and perfect for those who enjoy powerful, dark roasts that pack a punch. Our Continental is the darkest roasted coffee we offer and, while perhaps not for the faint hearted, offers a divine combination of heady aromas and rich, oily, well-balanced flavours. Given the strength of this wonderful coffee, we would recommend it mainly for intense espressos, although it can also be used to make rich filter coffees that will carry a very mild acidity and plenty of kick. Our Continental is roasted on order and vacuum sealed straight after, ensuring that the coffee retains all its freshness, aroma and flavour.

Strong, dark roast coffee with "deep aroma" and "full of flavour." Customers praised swift delivery and responsive service. Most enjoy the robust taste, though some found it "too sharp" or noted oily beans causing machine issues. "Great for espresso" with excellent crema, works well black or with milk.

I’m no coffee expert and

I’m no coffee expert and much of the experts thoughts and observations are lost on me. I do enjoy a good cup of coffee and this, in my opinion is a good cup of coffee. My only concern is that it’s a very oily bean and it’s caused problems for my machine. The problem is sorted by stirring the beans prior to brewing, otherwise the machine registers an add beans message, although it’s full. It’s a minor niggle and probably only applies to certain machines.
