Coffee Bean Review: The Buckaroo Blend
Roast Level: Dark/ Medium
Flavour notes: Dark chocolate, golden caramel and toffee
Brew method: 18g used for a 1:2 ratio in a double shot. Grind size 12 was used to yield an espresso in 25-30 seconds on my home machine.
Overall opinion:
This is a fabulous dark to medium Brazilian roast with rich tasting notes of dark chocolate, caramel, and toffee (my favourite combination). The flavours are bold yet beautifully balanced, creating a smooth, full-bodied cup that feels luxurious and passionate.
What I enjoy most about this blend is its versatility. Whether you’re making a creamy latte with non-dairy milk or sticking to a classic cappuccino, it performs exceptionally well and delivers a consistently satisfying coffee. It’s a brilliant all-rounder that suits a variety of drinks.
This is definitely one of the stronger blends I’ve tried, so if you’re new to a bean-to-cup coffee, I’d recommend starting with a single espresso shot to get a feel for its intensity. However, If you’re a dedicated coffee lover, this blend has plenty of depth and strength to keep you happy.

Simply the most stunning coffee I’ve ever tasted

Absolutely fine. I’ve read numerous glowing reviews for these beans which I think are somewhat overblown. I’ve been drinking this for over a year on a daily basis, and continue to do so as the cost to quality tradeoff is good. There are definitely much better beans out there, but these are perfectly acceptable as an esspresso bean once you get them dialed in right, and the price, particularly for a fair trade bean, is affordable for an everyday coffee drinker.
