After using for some time one of the big ethical on line coffee suppliers, I decided to support a local business instead. I ordered the taster pack of three coffees and am very impressed. So far I have tried the Signature Gold and Black Gold beans and love them both. Haven’t tried White Gold yet. It’ll be hard to decide which my regular will be but one thing is certain: I’m going to be sticking with the West Berkshire Roastery. One very happy new customer ☕️ 🫘
We really enjoyed this coffee after being recommended it by a family member. Love that it was roasted the day before delivery! Favourite of ours to use for a daily flat white, perfect strength as single or double shot.
Gold vs Gold you can't go wrong. Smell and taste is absolutely amazing. Loving the new beans and it also proves that whatever you chose you are guaranteed to love it when it comes to West Berkshire Roastery.
Nice to be able to try the 3 gold varieties together, having always gone with the signature blend it turns out I prefer the White Gold! So that will be my next order. Quick delivery, freshly roasted and delicious as always
I have come back to WBR's coffees after some time trying other roasters. I was always a fan of Black Gold, although Signature was a close second, for espresso. For health and sleep reasons I now limit my caffeine intake and so Simmer Down has become my final, after-lunch coffee around 1.30pm daily. I enjoy the great taste and find it still feels like a full strength brew.
Recipe: 13g ground at a 33 setting on Niche Zero (original), 95C water. Inverted Aeropress method. 75g bloom phase with five stirrings back and forth. At 45 seconds add another 75g water and stir again, at 90 seconds top up to 210g of total water. Leave until three mins, add cap and filter, and carefully invert with cap held over filter. Begin slow and gentle press at 3mins 30s all the way down including past the "hissing".
Whichever WBR coffee you prefer, please drink and enjoy.
I wanted a strong, but not overpowering, coffee for Espresso, with no acidity, and this roast really delivered. really smooth and strong, not bitter, with a kind of natural sweetness. I have found my new favourite.
Great customer service too.
The reason why i keep buying from West Berkshire Coffee. Thid is the best decaf i have had by a long way
Black Gold coffee is just what I was looking for. It tastes so fresh with an incredible amount of crema when extracted. Incredibly, the roasting date was the date of order and it arrived within 2 days. It’s so hard to find coffee companies that take this much care with their coffee but West Berkshire are one of the best. I’ll definitely be ordering from them again.
Always enjoy the WBR Simmer Down and is a regular staple in the household
Multiple times ive ordered this coffee and never seem to get bored of it. Lovely cup of coffee
This was a first time purchase and I was delighted to receive coffee beans of such freshness that the kitchen was filled with wonderful aromas even before brewing. The espresso made with an Oracle Jet was full of chocolatey, nutty nuances and had a thick crema.
The Black Gold bean is very nice - well balanced, strong flavour and perfectly suited to my espresso machine.
I have purchased 3 different types of beans to try and Rwanda Hills is definitely my favourite. Full of flavour great quality coffee, highly recommend!
Wonderful coffee, I have been looking for a clean decaf coffee and I am pleased to report that this one meets all my expectations. Will buy again and again!
Good organic coffee with a nice fresh taste, quick delivery, overall pleased :)
I liked this one, a bit milder than the other ones I have bought here. Tastes great as a espresso.
My partner bought me a bag of the Signature Gold Organic whole bean for my birthday and it is simply THE BEST coffee…as soon as it was finished I’ve bought a 1kg bag which will hopefully last me a while!
Quick delivery, good prices and amazing coffee - would highly recommend!
Love this roast, it's enough to get that "dark roast" fix without being nasty bitter on my espresso. I use a VBM dommobar with niche grinder and get decent consistency in my shots well into weeks 3 and 4 post roast.
