Bacha Coffee | El Flamingo Single Origin Signature Nomad Collection, Medium Roast, 100% Arabica Ground Beans, 250g

This coffee comes from Ethiopia and is not something you would find on your supermarket shelf, in fact it is so rare this is about the only place you would find this tin, which is beautiful in itself, and for my budget it is a precious commodity, not something I would casually throw into an ordinary coffee maker. So I chose the best I have, my best brewing device. Even making only one cup for each of us put each cup into a realm not ordinarily seen in our humble kitchen.As beautiful as the tin is, the first whiff on opening it was something I wanted to invite the neighbors over just to inhale. The Yirgacheffe Heirloom selection sounded like it would be my favorite from their wide palette to choose from, I hope to try some of the others in the future.BE CAREFULThis is ground coffee, packed in a beautiful canister that looks just like a metal tin. The top is held shut by a tiny push button. I expected it to be partially full like almost all food products but no, when I pushed the button the top popped up and coffee began to fly everywhere. There is an inner plastic cover that had become unlodged and thus wasn’t sealed. At what this goes for an ounce be very careful that you don’t lose some when you unfasten the top. I am a bit concerned as well about the canister being able to retain the coffee’s freshness, it would be best to consume it as soon as possible.YES NO MAYBEThis lived up to my expectations, a cup of coffee that I could lean back in my chair and savor sip by sip. I could try to describe what I tasted but your tastebuds won’t be the same as mine. If this is an easy purchase for you I definitely recommend this flavor and if it is a special treat or thoughtful gift I would still say the same thing plus I think this is one of the most attractive tins.

First off, the aroma and flavor of this coffee is great. I had a difficult time choosing between the various flavors and varieties, and ended up choosing the Blue Danube, which says it has notes of milk chocolate and forest berries. I definitely get both flavors and aromas with the cup of coffee. I like to drink my coffee black, but this would also be delicious with cream.The packaging is so beautiful, you can put it out on the counter and it is just gorgeous. I love the box! The clasp on it is even pretty.The one drawback is that it is sealed inside with a plastic tray over the coffee. Mine came loose (it is held in place with small stickers which all came loose), and when I opened the top coffee was everywhere inside of the lid and it was difficult to get it back into the container without spilling. At the high cost of this 8 ounce container of coffee, it was disheartening that I lost even a little bit.Overall, the flavor and aroma of this coffee is fantastic. I feel as if I'm on vacation with every sip.

Complete gimmick coffee. For such expensive coffee to taste so bad is ridiculous. I tried 2 different flavors and both are horrible. Pretty packaging though, which is what you’re paying for.

The tin only comes half full, brought this as a mother's day gift for my mom since she love the tins I got from the bacha coffee store in marrakech. Although the flavor was is the same its ashame for the price that the tin comes half empty, this was not the case for the tins brought directly from bacha in marrakech. Disappointed.

This coffee smells absolutely divine, just like the chocolate oranges often found around Christmas time. The packaging is beautiful and immediately made me think it would make a great holiday gift for the coffee lovers in my family and circle of friends. It seemed a shame I was opening it on a random Wednesday morning in August lol. The box features a unique push-button mechanism to release the lid, along with an inner plastic cover to prevent spills. The coffee itself is finely ground with a soft texture. There were no specific brewing instructions provided, so I used the standard ratio of one tablespoon per serving, which produced a smooth and pleasant cup. While I’m not a coffee connoisseur and can't speak to complex flavor notes, I found it genuinely lovely. At $38 (at the time of this review), it is certainly a premium product, but even tight-wad me is willing to overlook the price due to the gorgeous, gift-worthy presentation and the variety of intriguing flavors available.

This is some pretty fancy coffee. It comes in a metallic embossed vinyl-sided box enclosed in ribbon and has an olde-style push-button hinged opening at the top. The coffee smells extremely aromatic, which is great. The Mombasa Song flavor states that it has a fruity and malty medium strength profile and I can find no fault with that description. The inner packaging was a little lacking as the inner cover plug came loose in shipping allowing coffee to spill out on opening. However, this took nothing away from the flavor, just a few lost coffee grounds.

This is a review for: Bacha Coffee | Mombasa Song Fine Blended Signature Nomad Collection, 100% Arabica Ground Beans, Medium Roast, 250gMy initial impression is that 42 dollars for a small tin of coffee is ridiculous. I'm not sure I'd gamble on coffee this expensive if it wasn't through the Vine program. That said, I made myself a cup of this using a reusable coffee filter in a Keurig and it was delicious. My next step was to brew using my French Press and the results were similar and equally satisfying. I am a big fan of Michigan cherry coffee, which is why I picked the Mombasa variety. It is similar, but not the same. This coffee tastes fresher and more naturally flavored. The cherry isn't there, but the tartness is. Lastly, the tin isn't nearly as filled as the one in the picture and the way it settled during shipping meant about a tablespoon's worth spilled when I opened the container. It costs enough that I swept it off the counter and used it anyway.
