Old Brown Java - Dark Roast

Rich, smooth, bold and utterly delicious. If like me you prefer just one coffee per day then this is a great choice.

Decent enough

I do love a strong cup of OBJ - and this did not disappoint. Beautifully roasted, with a deep earhty, smoky taste. Highly recommended - I've gone through this like a train!

Old Brown Java - Dark Roast is my favourite Redber espresso coffee so far. I usually buy beans to grind myself but thought I'd try espresso grind for a change. The grind is too coarse for my Gaggia and it is better suited to a Moka pot, which I have been using. Will go back to grinding my own next time. So 5* for the coffee but 1* for the fineness of the grind.

As a straight up espresso, these beans were very difficult to dial in on my Sette 270. Just when I thought I had nailed my grind, the follow up drinks flowed too fast with rapid blonding no matter what I did. At best I managed 40g in 30seconds which is completely off my usual ratio.

The taste is still very good, with very dark chocolate hints along with a smokiness. I highly doubt I'll purchase again because the beans are quite oily out of the bag so I don't want to gum up my grinder.

Excellent, faultless delivery from Redber as usual :)

Won't be buying again, but it does make a decent noisette.

Not a very best experience with these beens for an espresso shot. They maybe more suitable for other methods. Lots of foaming when pulling the shot (similar to stretching the milk) with about 40-45% of the volume even after being left for 10days after the roasting. Also, blonding very quickly during the extraction.

Great taste, not too acidic.

well packed, delicious taste, quick delivery💪👍

Another one of my favourites, excellent way to start the morning.

Very good service but would prefer delivery via DPD, not a great fan of Royal Mail

Delicious

A definite favourite of mine and an absolute 5 Star Coffee.

Please re instate the pre- covid service allowing local customers to call in and buy on the day. I,m more than happy to wait, have a coffee in shop, whilst my order is processed.

I order this every time.

Great taste and smell, fantastic dark roast

Perfectly roasted coffee. Absolutely delicious.

A 5 Star Coffee,one of my favourites.

We have been drinking Redber coffee for several years. Only just got around to trying this one, and I have to say this is one of our favourites. If you like dark roasts and smoothness to boot, this one is definitely worth a try

Fantasic, really easy to order, speedy to collect and the coffee is deliciousz

Since trying OBJ dark roast twice now, it really has come up trumps in being my favourite coffee, especially bean to cup.
Redber are amazingly accurate in all their coffee descriptions, and top service.

I love this coffee,it has to be an all time favourite of mine.this is a regular purchase for me and a go to coffee in the morning.

Have not ordered this bean for sometime, had forgotten just how strong, dark with a lovely finish it was. A perfect cup to get you started in the morning, or to refresh you later in the day.

I was looking for a coffee bean supplier/roaster locally for a gift for a friend. Although Redber are not the nearest, they offer a comprehensive range and easy to use website, so they got the order which was delivered exactly as promised and as described. The friend is delighted with the gift, I will return on my own account

I've been used to buying from Whitards, but thought I'd try someone different as they have raised their delivery cost threshold.

Delivery of these items took 8 days, which is too long in my opinion, even taking the petrol issue into account. I received no delivery updates.

I'm also not sure the coffee is of the same high grade. I submitted a customer query and received no reply.

Overall, I'm unlikely to buy from this site again.

I like the beans but this one tasted a bit too much malty For me

Great coffee and excellent service. Use this company all time.

I recently decided I was going to start buying nice coffees, and figured I'd shop around a few different brewers as part of that. Then I made the mistake of picking up a bag of Old Brown Java from Redber as my first pick. It's rich, full, smooth, lovely with a splash of oat milk or black on its own, without being hard on an empty stomach, as I tend to only have coffee in the mornings. While I have tried a few other beans, either by choice, or by the lovely sample packs Redber keeps sending me codes for, I've already put a second order in for Old Brown Java, and, starting to see the bottom of that bag peak through, am having a serious discussion with myself over trying something new or picking it up again.

Excellent service and first rate coffee beans. (Old Brown Java, Santos dark roasts).

Not too bitter, but robust and full of strong, nuanced flavours. Almost savoury sometimes, a little smokey, very rich and satisfying. Perfect with something sweet.

And just as an overall review of Redber themselves: they are amazing. Prompt delivery, freshly roasted beans or ground to order. Every coffee I've had from them has been delicious and different, I cannot recommend them enough and if they ever close down I will cry a lot.

We would not usually choose a blend, but having tried a few, we came back to this particular one. Of the blends, this is our favourite, it has consistent taste and grind, I buy a kilo of this and one of the Colombia Huila, dark roast our two favourite espresso coffees from Redber.

We liked this bean, it has an immediate ‘real coffee’ taste!
