Roasters Daybreak Blend Coffee Beans, Medium Roast, Award-Winning Coffee Blend, 1kg

Daybreak is an absolutely stunning bag of beans - full bodied and a little fruity without being sweet. Great for an espresso machine to make the perfect strong flat white. I think I’m on my 5th bag 😊

Smells amazing, tastes great, works great in my Delonghi bean to cup. The blend is exactly what I was hoping to get. Nice value and handy resealable pouch. You will love it.

Note: I got these beans at 5 weeks post-roast date, which is, especially for medium, on the edge of stale. However, I proceeded to explore the best way to extract their most favourable flavours. Overall, bean quality looks relatively high, fairly mediocre when we get into specialty coffee, with around 60% uniformity. I tried EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING in order to extract these to their full potential, from traditional 9 bar shots, blooming shots, slayer shots, and everything in between, using doses ranging from 18g all the way to 22.5g. Two best shots I've had are a blooming shot at 22.5g, 15 second pre-infuse, slowly ramping up to 3 bars, 30 second bloom, 10 second extraction at 6 bars for ~45g out. This offered the most body, but lacked clarity, and was biased to the more bitter chocolate end of the flavours. The second, which I found the best shot was a 10 second pre-infuse, slow ramp up to 1 bar, 7 bar shot with 18g and 38g out within 27-30 seconds. This offered a slightly lower body, but much higher clarity and balance. I found that anywhere under a 1:1.8 ratio offered a very under extracted dry-mouthing experience, and anything over 1:2.2 ratio offered a watery, biased towards bitter flavour, irrespective of dosages and parameters. Tasting notes: Praline, hazelnut, milk chocolate, stone fruits - apricot and plum, and orange zest, with lasting praline and zest notes. Very balanced coffee with a saline essence. I believe my exploration for the best cup would've been shorter lived if the beans were no more than 2 weeks post-roast date, and that's where the star gets deducted. You can't state a bean lasts up to 6 months at standard storage, maybe in the freezer immediately off roast, but nothing else. Overall, fairly good quality and price for what you get, as long as roast date is no greater than 4 weeks IMO.

Im nos usually one to write a review and im also a bit of a coffee snob who likes to try different brands every month. But i am certainly leaving a review for this coffee, its delightful and i fully recommend for others to try it too.

I've bought quite a few beans over the past year or so all of which have said they're freshly roasted or at least as fresh as possible. However, this Granary blend from these guys is well and truly fresh out of the drum!!! These beans were roasted less than a week and a half ago and honestly the aroma when I opened the bag was AMAZING!! So so good. I've got a Sage Oracle Touch and dialled them in the first time this morning. Only took 3 attempts to get the right pour and...oh my word...the taste was incredible. Even my Mrs who isn't that into coffee remarked how good it was. You can really taste the caramel undertones and the freshness just hits you! I've sworn to myself now to only buy fresh coffee as I quite like a cheeky bag from TK Maxx or the supermarket but the difference between that and these freshly roasted beans is not comparable. If you're looking to buy freshly roasted coffee from Amazon this is the best you can get!! I'm looking forward to trying more from these guys but this Granary Blend is actually one of the nicest roasts I've put through my machine full stop! Absolutely delightful!!! Don't try and look elsewhere, just buy now...you will not be disappointed!

I usually enjoy these coffee beans, but I was a bit disappointed to receive a batch roasted in November 2024, arriving in February. Freshness is key to the best flavor, so I’d appreciate beans roasted within a month next time. Looking forward to enjoying your excellent coffee at its peak. Thank you!

Great coffee. I’ve been trying different brands for the last few months after picking up a bean to cup ninja coffee machine. This is a really beautiful, smooth blend. It’s not super strong flavoured, but wakes me up in the morning for sure. I will be sticking with this one going forward

Enjoyable coffee. Definitely notice the flavour profile and would happyily make a cup for a guest. However it is significantly more expensive than "cheap" brands so take that into account!
