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.

Customers praise this bold, strong coffee for its "robust flavour" and "deep, dark" roast. Many describe it as their "firm favourite" with "wonderful flavours and strong aroma." Works well in bean-to-cup machines and various brewing methods. Most enjoy the smooth, balanced taste despite strength, though a few found it too bitter or lacking excitement.

I like my coffee strong with a robust flavour and Directors coffee fits the bill perfectly. It retains a smooth flavour despite its strength and has become my first choice when ordering my coffee selections.

For me, this one is just a dull, strong coffee. No real flavours, lacking anything that would bring excitement. If you are after a strong but dull coffee, then this is the one for you.

This is a beautiful coffee, deep flavour which makes the perfect strength americano in my bean to cup machine. I use a medium grind and it is perfect.
I always drink black coffee and the depth and flavour are wonderful. One of my new favourites.

Morning punch

Super addition to our coffee options. Bright wake-up flavour for our morning Mocca Master filter with a good punch, spicy but not overwhelming and full balance. We also love that the beans arrive next day freshly roasted.

Excellent flavour

I enjoyed the taste as it has good body and strength, but my wife prefers the Golden Crema; both of the beans we have tried to date (Directors and Crema) have been excellent. Customer service is also very good. A highly rated supplier all round. 5 stars.
