Good quality product
Verified product owner
I have not received this order
Verified product owner
Never had any problems
Verified product owner
The coffee is good (you can't please everyone) but generally it is a winner!
Verified product owner
As expected
This is an excellent fairtrade coffee which I have been buying for years.
I use it at home and also supply my Church as they use it for all services and meetings and it is popular.
This is also good instant coffee, and great that it is ethical and faritrade, but both the tub and bulk order of 6 tubs both work out more expensive per 100g than buying the little tins of the same brand from the normal supermarket.
Verified product owner
I sell the goods in local volunteer-run fair-trade shop.

Great value for money and very drinkable for instant. The empty tin will be handy too.

We have been using this coffee at church & our toddler group for over 4 years now and as well as being from an etically sound source, it is, most definately a delicious coffee, quite strong(which suits me fine)and many of our regulars have also started to buy it for their own personal use.

Cafedirect is the UK's only 100% Fairtrade drinks company working with 40 grower organisations across 14 developing countries. It really meets its Gold Standard and its guarantees. rnAs for the coffee - it tastes great smooth and full bodied. It is a blend of Arabica beans and Robusta. As a freeze-dried instant cofee you can not go wrong taste-wise or ethically with this.rnLove It!
Verified product owner
Ideal for our Quaker Meeting House where everyone likes a good cuppa after Meeting for Worship. The one negative is that the size has reduced but the price has stayed the same in recent years.
Verified product owner
This 500g tub of the great-tasting coffee is ideal for our school staffrooms and a great way to get my colleagues drinking Fairtrade coffee and hopefully getting them to consider switching to it at home too.
A really fantastic tasting coffee that makes you feel all the better for it's ethical roots. If only everyone would switch their small daily luxuries to items such as this it would make such a difference. It is a very nice smooth coffee that's not bitter and makes for a great everyday cup.

Q: RE the above, does this product contain nuts. Description on tin says hint of nutty caramel. We need this information for people with nut allergies.
A: Hi, there are no nuts in this coffee, "nutty caramel" is a term to describe the flavour only. Robyn.
