simonc He’s now not happy with me as they are very dark roast and too bitter for his taste. His guess is maybe Ethiopia, v small beans apparently
I was going to say Ethiopian (and Kenyan) beans roast darker in appearance due to sucrose released during roasting but then I noticed Coffee Compass do an ‘Extra Dark’ Ethiopian roast.
It must be practically pure black!

Ikawa Roaster
CoffeeCompass roasts darker than most roaster I’ve used. It doesn’t mean their coffee is not good - it’s just a different taste. I particularly think they are roasted very well, and the beans, in my experience, are not bitter, at all. In fact, I do enjoy their coffee now and again.
But if you don’t like coffee roaster dark… then coffee compass may not be your first choice.
I used to buy from CC all of the time but their beans all sort of tasted the same after a while.
Think that happens with a lot of roasters to be fair.
I always liked their beans though just needed a change.
Has anyone tried the new mystery bean? Its a pretty good deal for green, so tempted to get some, but don’t want a dud!
I might try some of the latest roasted one, I had a look on their website earlier and they do medium roast as well as dark to v dark but no light roasts.
17 is out £22 a kg
Totally forgot about these. Used to love the Mystery offering
Ordered 👌
This was £18 a kg last year so like everything else price has gone up about %22.5 :( let us know how you get on please, I still have some beans but these could be my next order.
Jason1wood How did you get on with mystery 17?
It’s OK, quite a dark roast so having to have mine with milk.
Wouldn’t get another bag unfortunately
