As a cold brew, this coffee is pretty average, but it's perfectly drinkable.
The grains have a nice, uniform color, are large, and the packaging looks clean.
Unfortunately, it's an absolute disaster when it comes to espresso from a lever machine.
The crema is practically nonexistent. It forms only a thin layer on the cup, which disappears immediately. I've seen worse crema, but this is well below average.
You won't find the flavor profile described on the package in your cup at all. The flavor is completely bland and flat.
I keep trying to work with the Kmen roastery, but aside from one or two bright exceptions in the past, it just isn't working out between us, and I don't think it ever will.
An attempt to salvage it using a different brewing method helped only partially. It’s still passable, though. As a classic espresso, it’s a huge disappointment.
The aftertaste is very short, bitter, and after a few seconds, there is absolutely nothing pleasant left in the mouth.
For this price, you get a result that tastes just like regular coffee in your cup. Sorry, there's no other way to put it...

Overroasted beans—the coffee just doesn't smell right right from the start and tastes burnt. Unfortunately, the fruity notes are very muted, and while brewing it, I couldn't shake the feeling that I smelled cooked sausages :D

It's kind of a letdown—given how the coffee looks on paper, I was expecting something bolder and more interesting. It tastes like your average supermarket coffee. A waste of money.

The coffee was bland; the actual taste didn't match the description. I don't recommend it.

I drink KMEN coffee pretty often, but this one really wasn't any good—the flavor was completely bland.

This coffee isn't light-roasted at all; the beans are really dark, and it tastes burnt.

zajimavy nápad
otřesná umělá chuť
"zasmradí" mlýnek a trvá několik mletí, než se jahůdkové aroma dostane pryč

Chuťový a aroma profil souhlasí
příšerně fermentovaná chuť i aroma
po dlouhé době půjde skoro celý balík do koše, to se fakt nedá
