Nescafe Gold Blend Coffee, Decaffeinated

Advantages: Healthier
Disadvantages: Still contains caffeine, expensive

...Nescafe Gold Blend Decaffeinated is unlike other coffee as it does not contain caffeine. Now is decaffeinated better than caffeine? What is caffeine - This is a substance that can affect the nervous system, can make you alert and fight tiredness away for a short period of time. This can last up to 4 hours before you start feeling tired, but it does not mean you don't have to sleep. It just makes your body think you are not tired for a certain amount of time. Regular use of it can make you feel dependant on it and could cause you to have a sleep disorder. Decaffeinated - From the name you might think contains no caffeine but that is not the case it. It still contains a fifth of the caffeine in a regular cup. Which means drinking 5 regular cups of decaffeinated coffee could be the same as consuming one cup of caffeinated...

Review of Nescafe Gold Blend Coffee Decaffeinated

Fancy a coffee old bean

Advantages: Freshly ground, available in small quantities
Disadvantages: A bit more expensive than other coffees

.... Maybe next visit! At £2.60 per 125g its expensive, but probably a treat. Decaffeinated Colombian Darker French roasted to try to keep some of the flavour as the caffeine kick is removed! I don’t drink decaffeinated coffee, though maybe I should! It costs £2.40 per 125g. **Dark Roasts** After Dinner Blend A blend of Brazilian and Colombian Arabica beans roasted very dark and strong for deep flavoured expresso. Drunk without milk, this one is even a little strong for me, although it’s nice after a big meal with a glass of iced mint liqueur. Santos and Java This is my favourite of all the blends as it makes an excellent Cappuccino. It’s velvety smooth, smoky and dark. It’s a blend of Brazilian coffee for kick and Java for its rich, luxurious taste. This coffee has body. It’s thick and smooth...

Review of Whittard Coffee Beans

₪ Bucking the Star Coffee Bean ₪

Advantages: Smells great, tastes great, perfect finish. Home brew cafe style.
Disadvantages: Caffeine addiction is a terrible thing.

...sealed my hate for the drink. Combine this with the smell of burning straw stubble and the sight of turning black banana sandwiches, it's no wonder I hated coffee and used to feel carsick. However when I got a Saturday job and was about to leave home for University, I decided I should make myself drink coffee for social reasons. I discovered black coffee tasted a bit better than milky, so there began my addiction with the coffee bean. From instant black coffee, I have developed a taste over the years to white and 'proper' coffee. The smell of freshly ground coffee I now perceive as delicious and inviting. Our kids don't like the smell, so it must be an adult thing. Maybe I've grown up at last. Those who know me better may find this hard to believe. We've yet to get a fancy Alessi or similar coffee machine but a simple cafetiere can be...

Review of Starbucks Cafe Estima Whole Bean Coffee

Percolated coffee - in an instant!

Advantages: decaffeinated, great taste
Disadvantages: not always in stock

...NAME OF DRINK Alcafe Decaffeinated Coffee is Aldi Stores own brand of coffee. It comes in a jar. The original jars we purchased had a burgundy lid, which was difficult to close as it only had 2 notches, and it did not always fasten properly. If you failed to get it exactly right, you could pick it up next time and the lid would stay in your hand but the jar would fall on the floor, spilling everywhere, if you were not careful. Recently, the brand has been given an upgrade and this minor fault has been completely removed. All the jars have a dark red lid (nearly the same burgundy colour of the originals) with a clear jar (apart from the brown and red label). BACKGROUND At work, we often have an Aldi trip to the Somercotes store as they have special offers on garden equipment, tools, etc. On one of these (frequent) trips...

Review of Alcafe Decaffeinated Coffee

Coffee with Impotence

Advantages: Caffeine-free
Disadvantages: Caffeine-free

...I am a coffee addict. I really am. I have about 12 coffees a day. If I don't have a cup for a couple of hours I get irritable, twitchy and totally preoccupied with getting a caffeine fix. In the mornings, I stand over the kettle WILLING it to boil faster. If I'm going on a car journey longer than an hour, I take a flask. Which is all rather worrying really, and the reason why last week I bought a jar of Nescafe Gold Blend Decaffeinated. I decided I'd better try and wean myself off at least half the amount of non-decaff I currently drink. Medical research into food and drink doesn't seem to be the most reliable of sciences. What it tells you one year, it often retracts the next. So I think that anything you read in the press about food and drink should normally be taken with a pinch of salt. That said, however, coffee...

Review of Nescafe Gold Blend Coffee Decaffeinated

Kenco Decaffeinated - Nice try

Advantages: Better than most decafs, nice jar
Disadvantages: Still too bitter for me, funny back taste

...I get through unhealthy amounts of coffee at work. The stuff dispenced by the vending machine isn't actually too bad (ground to order & wait 1min for the cup to appear) but at 30p/cup it soon mounts up. Accordingly, I've started bringing in my own coffee & partaking of the 'dispense hot water' option on the vending machines. I've now settled on Kenco Really Smooth Roast but in a fit of 'healthyness' I did have a go with Kenco's Decaf. Previously, I put on my good citizen hat and picked up a jar of Co-Op Fair Trade Rich Roast. I'd like to say nice things but this was the most god-awful coffee I think I've ever drunk. One cup could ruin your day and certainly turns *my* mouth inside out. I then moved on to Kenco Decaffeinated. The jar gives me a good feeling with its distinctive green cap, octagonal jar and nice gold & green label...

Review of Kenco Instant Coffee Granules, Decaffeinated Freeze Dried

COFFEE SANTOS, BMJ, FRANCAIS, RICA, AND MANY MORE

Advantages: Great tastes, smells and different flavours. Excellent varites
Disadvantages: Nothing (except B M J price)

...thin, nor is it too dark which could develop a bitter “charcoal” edge. The result is a perfect balance for all tastes. Tasting Notes ~ Please don’t believe the old wives’ tales about decaffeinated coffee. It is NOT harmful. The process is entirely safe and the beans are steam cleaned so that all traces are removed. KENYA AA The Roast ~ medium roast to bring out the finest Kenya character 5 The Flavour ~ Kenya is famous for its bright, clean, fresh strength. It is the excellent “point” and spiciness of Kenya that gives it the full flavour strength. The AA grade has a full smooth flavour, and is probably richer in Peaberry. Tasting Notes ~ Whittard cannot easily buy coffee from a single estate because many Kenya coffee farms are very small family units, inherited over generations. Their...

Review of Whittard Coffee Beans

Basking in Beans

Advantages: Relaxing Place to Stop Off
Disadvantages: Closes Early

...the lovely coffee smell, fresh and ground beans just seem to give of such a welcoming and warm feeling. The only think which is slightly disappointing is that this shop shuts around 6pm, just when you have finished your expiditions for the day and want to relax with a coffee before dinner and beginning your night entertainment, so this is a slight let down. *****Food and Drink***** The food itself is wide ranged, if not slightly expensive. There are a whole selection of sweet and savoury attributes, from simple Weymouth cupcakes, to chocolate toast and sandwiches. As with the food, the drinks vary in a wide range. Obviously, the speciality it hot drinks, from simple coffee's to latte's, hot chocolates, tea, iced tea - anything you can think of and fancy really. As the staff are so friendly and well trained, they are able to make...

Review of Good Bean Coffee Shop, Weymouth

Great Service, Great Coffee, Good Bean

Advantages: Wonderful service and great coffee
Disadvantages: Location within a bookshop

...Whether I visit the centre of Reading to browse the CD shops or pick up some groceries, my journey is never complete until I have revitalised myself with a coffee in one of the ever-increasing number of coffee shops springing up in the town. Although I have visited most of the outlets at some point in the past, only three or four have had the benefit of my custom in the recent weeks. I consider myself to be a regular in just one of these few. I discovered Good Bean's existence by chance when visiting Blackwell's bookshop, inside of which it is situated. Despite not being slap-bang in the centre of the town, it still manages to attract its fair share of customers. Every credit must go to Good Bean for the excellent customer service provided. The staff treat customers as individuals, and are always polite and friendly. Genuinely...

Review of Good Bean Coffee Shop, Reading

Tesco Original coffee beans

Advantages: Why does every other coffee taste worse and cost much more?
Disadvantages: So cheap, Tesco will either double the price soon or delete it!

...Don't waste your time and money on any coffee product from ANY supermarket or shop: simply try "Tesco Original" beans - not, repeat not, the ready-ground variety. They are the cheapest beans by far - £1.28 for, I think 227g -, and took over where the even better "Tesco Colombian" left off (literally deleted from the range - again, NOT the more colourful and expensive "Tesco Colombian Supremo" pack which is anything but supreme - quite nondescript, in fact, especially for the price. The Original beans pack smell glorious when squeezed and sniffed! Even the check-out people comment on the aroma if you do it casually whilst waiting in the queue, and have bags of taste and character without being overly strong. Mind you, we also have the cheapest and best coffee maker ever - the Toshiba Filtermill all-in-one grinder and percolator!...
