Review on Instant coffee Egoiste Special freeze-dried with ground coffee, glass jar, 100 g by Adam Tomasz ᠌

Aroma - without aroma. Strength - 7. Taste - bitter, not sour, which is surprising for Colombian coffee, apparently because it is a mixture of Arabica To be honest, I was surprised by the reviews of those customers who compare incomparable varieties of coffee and give an assessment for better or worse. It is not correct to compare Kenya and Colombia, a blend and a mono variety, as well as freeze-dried coffee and freeze-dried coffee with the addition of ground. I compared the three with the addition of ground coffee and the three of pure instant coffee in terms of taste characteristics, and I got the following ranking: 1st place - XO (Kenya) strength -8; 2nd place - Special strength 7 (Colombia); 3rd place - Very Special strength 9 (Kenya). All of them are odorless and taste with varying degrees of bitterness, which is surprisingly Colombia does not sour, apparently because it is a mixture and not a mono variety. All of them have sediment at the bottom of the cup from ground coffee. The appearance of coffee also varies in color and shape of the granules. If we rank the top three of freeze-dried coffee without adding ground, then: 1st place Velvet strength -6-7 (Colombia), with a barely noticeable sourness; 2nd place Platinum strength 5-6 (Colombia), with more bitterness and sourness than Velvet; 3rd place - Privat strength 7-8 (Kenya) and its taste is specific, reminiscent of Nescafe from an iron can. The granules of this trio are also all different in color and texture, from light and flat (Platinum) to dark and round (Velvet/Privat). For my taste, I would never buy a triplet of freeze-dried coffee again. I would repeat only XO and Special.
