How it Tastes

This is a punchy coffee, but it’s not a wallop across the chops type of punch. There are definite fruity notes there, with an overriding background kick of spices and nuts.

Coffee tasting is subjective, and it depends how you’re brewing it too of course, and how good an extraction you manage to achieve, but this is quite a forgiving blend, so it’s fairly easy to work with, and most people will get lovely fruity & spicey notes from this without too much faff.

Sumatra, Honduran & Ethiopian Arabica + Indian Robusta

This is a blend of three Arabicas with a small amount of Indian cherry Robusta to just amplify things slightly, but without taking it into the realms of burnt rubber!

If you’re looking for a forgiving blend which is easy to work with, with most brew methods, this is a decent bean to go for, and it’s really nicely balanced between punch and flavour.

Really lovely cup of coffee

I must say I love this coffee - made in my little Delonghi Dedica 🫶

Nice enough but can't get it to sing

I just I can't get this coffee to do anything close to normal potential.
It's probably me but I'm guessing a very neutral flavor out of it rather than anything particularly stunning.

Good everyday coffee

The Fruitcake blend from Coffeeworks is a good every-day coffee - the brew is consistent, and although it's not a "smack you in the face" coffee, it certainly hits the spot first thing in the morning. I use a Ninja Cafe Lux Pro - and the built in tamper means there's not much room for "tinkering" when it comes to ensuring all grounds are evenly distributed, and the tamper itself isn't much cop - thankfully though, this blend grinds so consistently that it doesn't matter, and the brew is great 99% of the time.

We are so pleased that you are enjoying the Fruitcake Blend, Adam :-)

Great, refreshing espresso just perfect for hot summer days

This is a great refreshing coffee just right for the perfect espresso “hit” during the recent spell of hot weather.
Not too heavy on the palate but with a definite refreshing and lingering aftertaste of fruitcake laced with a hint of spice.
But perhaps not a great coffee for the milkier cappuccino / latte choices etc

My preference for an exceptional cappuccino will always be either the Chocolate Brownie blend or Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Brazil made using organic semi skimmed milk.
Which gives a fuller body and more of a natural sweetness compared to regular milk.

Often overlooked but worth experimenting with different milks too !
