Ideal for espresso, our strong Old Brown Java beans are aged as green beans for at least two years before being roasted, giving the coffee a heavier body and a powerful flavour, but very little acidity. The process of ageing beans is popular among many Javanese coffee producers and can last for as long as three years, during which green beans may be 'monsooned' by being exposed to the warm, moist air of the rainy seasons. As the green beans age they often begin to turn to a light brown colour, and the longer they are aged the more flavour they gain.

Started ordering from you during Covid ordered Java beans they were brilliant haven’t changed since my experience with other beans have convinced me to stick to what I know your service was brilliant and continues to be that way so can’t fault it.
My first purchases from Coffee-Direct and it is a positive one. A decent selection of beans at reasonable prices and delivered in a timely fashion. Would ideally prefer to have available weights in 500g and 1kg increments as I normally purchase 2kg at any one time so 2.5kg is a bit of a stretch. However, there is nothing to dislike here so are happy to continue purchasing if prices remain attractive.
Have always been great beans and great help from the staff when needed... have passed this on to many friends
I would normally get Lungo Continental and Old Brown Java so this is a review for both coffees. I mix both coffees together as they bring good strength, flavour, body, aroma and oil level, but for me most importantly is the low acidity. In all, my go-to coffee beans.
A coffee with depth, character and aroma unlike any other - my husband's favourite. Excellent delivery within 24 hours.
Very efficient service
Good strong coffee, versatile for Bean to Cup of Filter.
Great quality coffee beans and the service is top notch, have been purchasing my coffee from Coffee Direct for a few years now and the speed of delivery is excellent, I highly recommend this company to everyone
A favourite coffee especially when home blended with Brazilian beans.
Good service
I love this coffee it is so rich and smooth definitely a favourite and worth a try
I have had subscription with coffee direct for a few months now for my favourite coffee, the quality is always consistent and delivered promptly. I highly recommend them
Excellent body, low acidity. I love Monsoon Malabar and this reminds me a little of that. Strong yet not overpowering and works well as either espresso or added to steamed milk, I have bought this several times.
Lovely coffee I like a strong dark brew and this one works for me.
Thanks Ian.
A good strong coffee with a distinctive flavour.
Great service and more importantly great coffee
Absolute staple for the coffee cupboard. Sadly, many sellers are so keen on pushing exotic and weird new blends, they forget the basics. Old Brown Java seems hard to locate. Thank goodness for Coffee Direct :heart:️
A Great strong all-round coffee and nice dark choc looking beans
Good strength, enjoyable coffee
The perfect level of strength and taste.
My favourite blend will order more. Dark taste dark bean
bitter notes like Costa
It's 'ok' but that's it. The creamy head isn't impressive, nor does it last. It's a thin looking & thin to taste coffee I would say.
I use a bean to cup machine.
Won't but it again.
All 3 coffees bought were really good
Old Java is my staple coffee, A really nice example here. Few things more subjective than coffee tastes. Starts my day
A pleasant change to my subscription order and I will be happy to add this to my list of alternate coffees. Great strong robust taste
Good strong tasting coffee
Rich taste, and slightly heavy on a balance flavour. One of the better roasts for me.
This has a much smoother, deeper flavour with less acidity than similarly named beans from a well known supplier with a high-street presence.
The only downside is that I can't enjoy other coffees anywhere near as much and have taken to only drinking coffee at home.
Only tried with espresso so far, but prefer it best as a “short” long black. A rich, somewhat earthy taste with low acidity. I like to drink different coffees during the day, but always look forward to this one.
This is fine coffee, damn fine coffee!
Loads of flavours going on. My favourite so far.
