Harris Espresso Coffee Beans are described on the packet as "Genuine Italian style coffee. Invitingly aromatic with a deep intense flavour". which is rated as "Strong - 5 beans". The 1kg bag (reviewed) is competitively priced.
Once ground this coffee has an aroma that you just want to luxuriate in. It is rich and dark and compelling with a slight astringency, and makes me think of dark wood panelling and green jungle foliage!
Once brewed In a plunger in this instance) this coffee has a luscious rich 'up-front' flavour which is warm and inviting and a solid aftertaste which lingers on the tongue. It will appeal to aficionados of strong coffee but at the same time has a well-balanced flavour without significant bitterness.
With milk added the dark rich flavour is still there but is rounded out by the texture of the milk. The aftertaste still shines through, as does a hint of a tingle on the tongue.
