Solo Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate | Espresso Strength | Instant Barista Grade Coffee | Iced Coffee and Espresso Martini Mix | 1L x 20 double shots

Bought to make Espresso Martinis. I don't really drink coffee at any other time so can't compare but tasted perfect for cocktails. Great substitue if you don't have a coffee machine or need to bulk

Awsome Espresso Martini/iced latte ingredient for those who can't make fresh espresso, like me!

I ummed and ahhhed over whether to give this 4 or 5*. I started trying this earlier in the year and immediately loved it. It’s just so simple for the times when making my own cold brew batches doesn’t make sense for time wise. The taste is strong and consistent when used 1 part solo to 3 parts water. It’s smooth and I have found I barely want milk in it as the flavour is solid (benefit of cold brew over espresso left to go cold). However - my preferences are for larger drinks and so I tend to go 100ml of solo, 275ml of water and 25ml splash of milk over ice. This is fine but it means you simply don’t get that many out of a carton and at the current price - it’s a bit indulgent. Not hugely but the price point just seems a few points high. So I give it 5 stars for the taste and output - but I have to drop it to 4 stars for just being a tiny bit too expensive. But for those on the fence I just bought another 4 cartons to cover me over Xmas.

Purchased to save me using my nespresso coffee pods for espresso martinis at a party, and while it's a little pricey, it is totally worth it. Taste is nicely balanced, but rich and with a good texture. Has lasted well in the fridge and was ultimately a lot cheaper and faster than waiting for pods to brew. Will be buying again.

Delicious flavours of burnt tyre and grapefruit. Just nasty. Gave it two attempts, straight diluted and iced. It’s a no from me.

Editing my review because they seemed to have improved the taste of this coffee slowly in the last few months. It's now up to 5/5 stars for me. MAKE SURE YOU SHAKE!! The first time I got it I didn't shake and it was super weak until the last few cups. Oops! It's hard to find an unsweetened cold brew pre-made in the UK. Especially during the winter. Especially without sugar. This is an amazing option. The taste is incredible with just the right amount of chocolate and bitterness and it's caffeinated enough that I get the energy boost I need without the extra acid from heated coffee beans. It's concentrate, so make sure you dilute with water unless you want to feel like you can hear the blood pumping through your heart. I use a slightly stronger ratio than recommended with ice which continues to dilute it over time.

Normally, I think of cold brew as being a smoother taste than your standard hot brew. This coffee was very bitter (like a shot from Starbucks). So if you like a bitter dark roast taste in your coffee, then you'll love this. But for me, this coffee was way too bitter.

Shelf life and flavour are good. Only use it for Espresso Martini, a fine job it does too.
