Blue Tokai Coffee Roasters Vienna Roast - Dark Roast | Turkish Grind 250g | Rich & Smooth | 100% Arabica Beans | Specialty Coffee | Freshly Roasted Ground Coffee

As a coffee addict, it is very customary for me to constantly be on the look out for that just perfect blend, which I prefer very dark and bitter of, and so far Davidoff's Espresso 59 was the only one that I'd found as close to perfect as I could, but it being ridiculously pricey makes it entirely impossible for me, as a student who drinks 3 huge cups of black coffee each day, to buy it for Rs. 500 per 100 grams. And so, though I might taste a lot of coffees, I do in the end return to Bru instant and the occasional very acidic local South Indian blend that just tastes terrible as a black coffee.This brand was very new to me, and actually recommended by my father, who is not a coffee drinker, and so I wasn't very keen on getting an indie brand coffee I'd never heard anything of ever, but just because he mentioned it to me, I just got the darkest blend I could find. And boy am I worshiping my dad right now, because holy hell. This is literally the best blend I have ever made at home, and my moka pot has perhaps never been blessed to make such an amazing coffee ever either.This coffee is everything it promises to be, it is dark, oaky and bitter-sweet and I am wholly and entirely in love with it. The grind size is perfect for my pot, and and I've brewed it with cold water in the water chamber, which means it was heated for about a minute and a half before the extract pushed out, and even still, the coffee was not that terrible burnt bitter that moka pots are infamous for. If this coffee tastes half as good a month later (which is when I reckon I'd finish 250 gms by myself), as it does today, ie. 3 days after it was ground, then I'm subscribing to this baby for life.Yes, it is just that good.EDIT: So, I have had the Vienna Roast ordered about 3 times, and so far the quality was not compromised, so I'm definitely impressed with the consistency. And I have tried a few more brewing methods, just to find what tastes best for this particular blend.If you're using a moka pot, then I would recommend boiling the water first and filling the chamber of the pot with boiling water rather than cold water because trust me, the taste comes through. With the cold water, it takes about a minute and a half for it to boil in the chamber, and in that period the coffee will begin cooking, so the extract is a little more bitter than ideal, and loses its oaky flavor. All of this is retained if you just change the water with boiling water, and so the decoction begins to come out within 10 seconds, and since the coffee is already a dark roast, the extraction is not overdone.Another thing to remember is that it's a dark roasted coffee. Which means it loses its flavor and aroma that quickly as it decarbonates. Anything longer than 3 weeks and the coffee is not half as good and aromatic as that first week. But then again, I bought it pre-ground, so I'm sure that has something to do with the shelf life as well. But since it does last me about 20 days per packet, I'm not complaining.In the past 4 months I have tried other Indian specialty coffees (KC Roasters ultra dark roast), and Blue Tokai's other blends- KALLEDEVERAPURA PULP SUN DRIED, and the Cold Brew Blend- Medium dark roast, and still the Vienna Roast remains my favourite of all.

Taste is good, less bitter. Too costly though

I like the taste of coffee it smells great

Perfect blend, perfectly roasted, and more important perfect grounded

Ordrerd it with great expectations to use with my drip coffee maker but it disappointed 😞. Indian coffe house powder was way ahead of this one . Ordered it by seeing the review but felt it over rated and over priced.it is smelling nice but not so good to taste.

Amazing coffee. Worth every penny

Quality is good. But it must be indicated that you’re selling coffee beans and not powder.

Having tried most of their variants, Vienna Roast keeps holding top position on my favorites list. It's just the perfect blend of bitter, sweet with a good caffeine kick that gets my mind up and running in the morning. I've been scouring the local markets and other brands online, but just can't find any other whole coffee beans that give me this warm fuzzy feeling. I'm writing this while sipping a freshly brewed cup (using a moka pot) in November, but it sure feels like Christmas came early. I just wish they would lower the prices a bit, this coffee is making me bankrupt 🤣

I was drinking regular amazon solimo coffee in my coffee grinder but once I switched to blue tokai there was no going back. Only wish more flavours and larger products were available. Such a fresh aroma and taste
