  I want to give them another go after the Santo debacle, but this is too many beans!

    Yeah, fair enough. Personally I find freezing excess beans in airtight bags to be quite effective at retaining freshness when purchasing two kilos in one go.

      If you've tried this blend before and like it I think this is a good deal, but this is 2 months of beans for me and I haven't tried this blend before so it's a bit of a gamble. Would be all over it if it were only 1kg.

      I do the freezing beans thing as well because of all the coffee deals on here and it's fantastic!

        Yeah, I agree, it’s a gamble if you don’t know what it tastes like. For reference though, I’ve found it to be very similar to both Axil’s Vader/Heavyweight Blend and Dukes’ Market Blend, in case you’ve tried either of those:

        Sensory Lab Stellar Espresso Blend:

        Country: 60% Brazil | 40% Colombia
        Region: Sao Paulo | Huila Department
        Cultivar: Red Bourbon | Caturra, Colombia, Castillo
        Processing: Natural | Washed
        Chocolate | Butterscotch | Praline
        Santo is our darkest blend with a rich and syrupy body. Featuring bold flavours of dark chocolate, butterscotch and praline, Santo is perfect for milk-based coffee or for those who like their espresso with a kick!

        Axil Heavyweight (formerly called Vader) Blend:

        Brazil & Colombia
        50% washed & 50% natural
        Heavyweight is a more developed roast than our seasonal blend, for those looking for a bigger body and less acidity in their blend.
        Prepared as milk expect – Almond, Dark Chocolate and Toffee
        Brewed for black expect – Blood Orange, Treacle and Dark Chocolate.

        Dukes Market Blend:

        The Market Espresso Blend is made up of the following exceptional Organic coffees:
        → Peru Chope Womens’ Cooperative (Washed process)
        → Colombia Planadas (Washed process)
        → Brazil Fazenda Santa Margarida (Natural process)
        Processing: Washed & Natural Processes
        The Market Blend is a bold coffee that tastes wonderful under milk, or rich and syrupy served black. A more traditional style blend, Market Espresso is low in acidity and high in body.
        The Market Blend is extremely forgiving and flexible, and has been focused as the ultimate milk coffee, delivering high strength and bold flavour under milk. We recommend drinking the Market Blend under milk, or as a rich and bold espresso or stovetop brew.

    Delivered late for many people & unsuitable for espresso despite being marketed as an espresso blend (better for french press, cold drip, etc.)

    Typically no roast date on Sensory Lab branded stuff sold at Coles, so expect stale beans if you buy that. Last time I bought beans from Sensory Lab, ordered on Monday, sent Wednesday, and delivered Friday roasted less than a week beforehand. This was within Melbourne though, and lots of people interstate had theirs delivered very late.

  I ordered this on the 7th and received today. Super quick delivery in 2 days so some thing may have changed with the delivery service used. I am in Melbourne. Roast date on the bag is 7/11 so beans are super fresh and will be stored for at least a week!
