Taste is taste and personal. I find this mild and as Puccini is one of my favourites, a bit weak. As a through the day coffee I can see its appeal but not for me. Pollards quality not in doubt!
I'm still working my way through the coffees to find the right one for me. This is medium bodied, but not bitter. OK, but not stunning. Electric espresso machine used.
Very nice coffee, would buy it again, nice and smooth no bitterness, highly recommend.
Having discovered Pollards back in February 2026, whilst on a visit with my daughter to the University of Sheffield, I have been a regular online buyer of their coffees. My favourite has become Monsoon Malabar, but I wanted to try a decaffeinated coffee for drinking later in the day.
I have recently tried Mountain Water decaffeinated and am not disappointed. Although it may not quite have the depth of flavour of Monsoon Malabar, it still provides a decent cup, smooth and without a bitter aftertaste. I would recommend if you are in need of an alternative to your caffeinated version. As always, the service, communication and delivery from Pollards is exceptional.
This is the 6th different coffee ive tried from Pollards and whilst it's great, it's not my favourite, that accolade goes to Puccini but this is still really good and very nice with milk based coffee. I drink Flat white regularly and this blend gives a nice taste, not too strong or bitter which most people will enjoy. Worth a try.
So far so good taste the same from the previous shop in town I was buying from but for lot less money 👍👍
Initial thought were this wasn’t for me (not sure why) but a few pots later I have grown to enjoy it more. As usual, good service and I appreciate checks Pollards make if I had forgotten to check which grind I need.
Pretty well all of Pollards’ blends are good to me. The Puccini is a regular for me although I do wander through other beans, this keeps being on my list.
This was a gift for a coffee loving friend, so I haven’t personally tasted any of the coffees. However, he says that they’re all good. Customer service was great and delivery was fast. I would definitely recommend Pollards.
I have had a regular mixed batch of coffee from Pollards for years, This used to be one of my favourites but the roast has gone quite dark with an oily sheen. I have asked about it and any change has been denied. It is sold as medium but I just do not think it is.
Really nice!
My husbands reply when I asked him to review the tea (I'm not a tea drinker)
So good we now also order for his pal.
Stuck in the Monsoon Mallabar rut for yonks.
I think i actually prefer this blend
Is MM the prosecco of coffee beans? I have no idea , being teetotal.
This blend is my new favourite favourite
I purchased this during the great Monsoon Mallabar famine of June 2026.
A darker roast than my normal choices.
It reminded me of dark Kenyan roasts of my youth.
It is now going to feature as a regular .
In summary. Top hole!
I have tried the Italian and Puccini coffees from Pollards both taste amazing, smooth and rich with the added strength with the Italian Roast. Reasonably priced compared to other leading coffee brands. Won't buy anything else now. Plus I love they are a small local firm.
Brewed on modded Gaggia classic. Really surprised by this coffee. It made a milk style espresso drink that was really tasty and enjoyable. 5 star all round.
The beans from Pollards are always fresh and delicious. It’s a shame they are delivered by Royal Mail who repeatedly leave the package in my garden despite me repeatedly asking them not to.
I have been using this roast for a couple of years now and usually collect in person. Postal delivery is fast and convenient to get the same powerful brew without the miles.
Love orange BOP small leaf. We drink no other tea in this house! Pollards are great to deal with.
One I’ve had before,a good flavoursome coffee 5 stars everytime.
