The Coffeeworks started as a small range of coffees created for readers of coffeeblog.co.uk, and subscribers of the Coffee Kev YouTube channel.  I (Kev) interviewed people over a series of polls to find out exactly what they were looking for in their coffees.

As I was seeking specific flavour notes, when I found the flavour profile I was looking for, I named the coffee based on these. So we ended up with coffees such as "Chocolate Brownie Blend" and "Classic Italian Blend" - names which best describe how the coffee tastes.

As the business has continued to grow, we've continued to do this, but I do appreciate that when we name a coffee something like "Marzipan Truffle Blend" it may give the impression that we add flavourings.

We certainly don't, and we never would - but when well extracted, you may be surprised by the flavour notes you get from this coffee, via a wide range of brew methods, including espresso, filter & Aeropress.

If you don't get these notes, don't despair. My first suggestion is to let your coffee cool down slightly more and taste it again. 

Many people take the first sip when the coffee is still very hot. This can numb their taste buds, and by the time the coffee cools down to the level that they can actually taste it, they might taste very little.

It's also worth keeping in mind that freshly roasted coffee beans do require a bit more precision when it comes to brewing. If you're not enjoying the kind of taste notes you were expecting, have a look at our recipe guides.
