Vienna Roast | 100% Arabica | Dark Roast | Pour Over | Medium Grind | 250 grams | Pouch

I'm regular user of Filter Coffee & I use traditional south indian filter coffee pot for brewing. Normally I use Robusta-Chicory (80-20) coffee, aka, south indian filter coffee blends. This is first time I've got 100% Arabica Coffee for my home use. This Coffee is good, aromatic just like Robusta. But naturally it's having less Caffeine, more smooth taste profile. When mixed with milk, you get oaky & chocolaty aftertaste lingering in your mouth. Cost-wise Arabica is 2.4x times costly than most robusta brands available in India, as Robusta is more grown in India (Karnataka). So if you want daily dose of caffeine & aroma of roasted coffee for reasonable cost, go for Robusta (20% chocory increase thickness & taste good), for Specialty coffee taste go for thjs Arabica.

The Vienna Roast from Third Wave Coffee Roasters delivers a satisfying black coffee experience. The dark roast brings out rich, bold flavors with a smooth finish, making it an excellent choice for those who enjoy their coffee black. However, I found that it doesn’t pair as well with milk as the label suggests. The flavors seem to lose their complexity and depth when mixed with milk, which was a bit disappointing. While the quality of the coffee is decent, I feel the price point is on the higher side. There are more affordable options in the market that offer similar or even better value. As someone who has been brewing fresh ground coffee for over 8 years using a Bialetti Moka Pot, French Press, and pour-over methods, I’ve come across several alternatives that provide a comparable experience at a lower cost. In summary, this coffee is a good choice for dark roast enthusiasts who prefer their coffee black, but it may not be the best option for those who enjoy milk-based coffee drinks. Additionally, the price could be more competitive given the alternatives. Ps : I have used AI tool (Deepseek)to refine my review to better articulate myself and I believe it came out perfect.

Received this coffee about 20 days after the roast date. It has a pleasant fruity aroma with clearly distinct chocolate and toasted nuts notes. The bittersweet aftertaste is quite unique and lingers well. It also produces a decent crema. I genuinely enjoy drinking this coffee every morning. Easily a 5/5 for me

Product as described but expensive

Bold, aromatic, and beautifully smooth. This Vienna Roast makes me pause and savor the moment—truly exceptional coffee.

I've tried multiple available coffee beans in the market and coffee grounds as well. Sometimes I purchase coffee beans and ground them at home for instant use. this brand of coffee comes in a plastic pouch, which keeps it fresh, it has an air tight seal that you can use to keep your away your bag of coffee airtight and away from moisture. it has been raining for a little bit over a month where I am living right now and moisture usually gets into the coffee grounds, but the design of packaging has worked and has my coffee moisture free. The quality of coffee is also good in comparision to other products in the market. The coffee beans are far from acrid, are well roasted and the ground consistency is even and fine. The aroma of this coffee is not exactly close to the freshly ground coffee, but it is very close to the aroma of freshly grounded coffee.

The worst Coffee powder i ever have. Full of impurities, 70 % of powder is like sawdust which does not desolve, does not have any fragrance. Waste of Money

Pro: 1. 350 Rs. is not expensive, if not cheap. All other decent coffee brands are between the 400-700 range. So this is a good “deal” price. 2. Bought two grinds- one for ‘home espresso’ (Delonghi machine with pressurized portafilter) and other for Chemex ‘pour-over’. They are both very good. 3. It's a dark roast. I can taste the flavour notes (more so in the Chemex, but also in the espresso). There is no bitter taste- which will also depend on how you extract coffee, the grind size was good for a perfect shot. Look at the crema in the photo. Neutral: 1. It is not roasted a day before. The packet says manufactured on 01/08/2022. So not as fresh as would be ideal. But it didn't go bad at all. The fresh roast smell filled up the room as soon as I opened it. This expires on 31/01/2023 so won't be the same if they send the same batch after a month when I buy again. Con: This is a big fail for serious coffee drinkers. The information on the website says “Origin: Nilgiri, Tamil Nadu” and the one sent is “Chikmagalur, Karnataka”. That's major misinformation, please change that, it will take a few seconds for you to do that. I am reducing one star for that. Nevertheless, try it. Aftertaste is divine, similar to the Lavazza Rossa (country of origin- Italy) with more intense notes. I will buy again hoping they will maintain the quality.
