Advised flavour notes come through
Good value for money
Works great for espresso, Cortado, flat white
Not suitable for milk coffees with high amount of milk, flavour could get lost

A balanced, juicy lemon flavor with a hint of sweetness at the finish
Beautiful, lightly roasted beans

This is the first coffee where the description perfectly matches the taste! I can taste the sweetness, and the coffee smells wonderfully sweet, too.
The flavor doesn't seem that rich to me.

Excellent no frills everyday coffee that delivers solid caffeine kick
I enjoy it most as a morning flat white

I don't trust this roastery very much anymore.
Overcooked
Average structure

It is very easy to work with.
It is not a problem for the coffee machine.
Tastes really good

Very good Colombia
In general, I really like Colombia beans from Illegal Beans. They have a balanced flavor profile and are very pleasant to drink.

None
The coffee is undrinkable, as if I had received a bad batch.
The grains themselves look and smell old.
Some grains were 3 cm tall, which the grinder couldn't handle.

This didn't work out, very poor quality, but the roaster sent me a small package of another coffee as a replacement.
