I'm not getting into this. It's a little weak bodied for me - or perhaps I have been drinking too many dark roast coffees recently. In order to bring up the flavour and body I have been increasing the amount of coffee I use, but that then increases the bitterness and harshness.
I gradually got into it, and found the right way to brew it, but while eventually finding it acceptable, it didn't really impress me.

Reduced to £1.89 as my local Co-op was closing down, I thought I'd give it another go. I discovered the best way to brew is to use two and a half scoops, and to leave to brew for over 4 minutes. That does bring out the flavours which includes some pleasant caramel and a playful acidity. The coffee is fairly robust, and is a little too assertive for my taste. I like the initial flavours, and the complexity, but the acidity is a tad too sharp for me, and the assertiveness grows too much in the finish.
