We’ve been sent the Espresso Lover Taster Pack from Rave Coffee to review. Regular readers will know that we’re big coffee lovers, so we were really looking forward to the task.

The trio of beans arrived swiftly after we placed our order. They’re packaged in oxo-biodegradable bags to ensure they’re delivered as fresh as possible, in an eco-conscious way.

We love really strong, rich roast coffee, hence the reason we chose their espresso assortment. I must say, ‘The Italian Job’ is my favourite of the three. It’s the strongest, yet has a smoothness and nuttiness that works in a classic espresso, doppio or macchiato.

Not that the other offerings weren’t enjoyable too! The ‘Signature Blend’ is their popular all-rounder; so if you like your coffee a different way each time, this is the one for you. The Chatsworth is big on chocolatey flavours, so suits a caffè latte, espressino or caffè mocha.

Don’t worry if you don’t own a coffee grinder, Rave also supplies all their coffees as ready-ground beans (in a choice of five different grinds) as well as compostable Nespresso compatible pods. Whether you prefer to make a one off purchase or have a regular subscription deal, Rave has a coffee option for you. Single origin for the connoisseur, decaf for the insomniac, green beans for the home roaster and taster packs for the inquisitive.

What better way to start today’s lazy Sunday than with warm croissants straight from the oven and delicious, freshly-brewed coffee… especially with the extra hour in bed?!
