Asda Extra Special Brazilian Roast & Ground Cold Brew Coffee Review

 Whenever I go shopping, I go down the Coffee aisle, as you never know what you might find.

The Asda Extra Special Brazilian Roast & Ground Coffee caught my eye and I had to give it a try

With a higher strength of 4, the dark medium roast has a nutty note.

Setup of the Asda Extra Special Brazilian Roast & Ground Coffee

This is already ground coffee so no need to grind it and as it's a stronger coffee, I put 160g of it in the Bodum:

Then added cold tap water, ready to start my 12-hour (plus 2 hours after a stir) brew:

The Taste

After storing in the fridge in the Hario:

It was time to pour my usual 300ml into my Beast Cup:

What I found is that it wasn't as strong as I thought but, was a little sharp.  So after popping in a bit of water, I found the optimal ratio was 300ml coffee concentrate to 50ml water.

That was enough to remove the sharpness and give off a slight hint of nut showing.

Still, it wasn't as strong as it claimed but, it was just about drinkable.

Considerations

It's cheap, it's £3.50 for 227g or 2 for £5.50 which you can really complain about, and it will do for a single origin from the supermarket.

The Score

Overall, I will give it 2 beans out of 5.
