Best Coffee I have had was from an importer in glebe who supplied coffee from Brazil. The blend we sold was a mid strength mild (sweet) coffee, It wasn't bitter which means it had a low oils component in its crema.

That depends very much on roast.

I roast it to first crack before oil comes out, about 7-8 minutes. I use Bunning Ozzito variable heat gun Wink

Someone gave me a jar of the stuff. I normally buy it at Aldi. But the woolies coffee has a hint of chocolate in the taste. Slightly bitter, dark chocolate. Can't decide whether I like it or not.

You'd drink any shyte instant coffee if you drink Woolies Home Brand.

It's a wonder you're not on the old Coffee & Chicory Essence Grin

Even though I grind my own beans & have a good machine - if I have to use instant I only buy Moccona or use Nestle Strong cappuccino sachets.

Ground.

Ground coffee oxidizes and changes flavor fairly quickly.

2 weeks for ground, 2 months for roasted beans, 2 years for green beans.

I buy single origin green beans and roast, grind and mix them myself depending on what I feel like at the time.

So you've had to buy a roaster as well?

No, I use Ozito variable temperature heat gun and old ss pot.

Sounds time & effort consuming.

Much easier to buy a good roasted bean blend.

Yes if you are after caffeine only but I get kick out of meditative ritual.
