Two Gold Stars Great Taste Awards 2025

"a bolder body that allows the acidic integrity of the coffee and a rich milky chocolate note. A delicious coffee that's intelligent and unexpected." "This has a sweet fruity nose and brown sugar sweetness that is balanced and elegant on the palate." "This is clever coffee, and a combination of great crafting and cunning flavour harmonies." "a great tasting blend and beautifully crafted. Milk marries all the qualities together, giving a balanced and refined taste." Cinco Jalisco has bags of flavour and good caffeine levels to kickstart your day. There is plenty of body and great balance bite but no bitterness. It's very good with milk and it's also great black, either as an espresso or Americano. We love its big flavour and the lovely bite. It takes a lot of tasting and roasting to get the balance right between bite and mouthfeel but when you get it right it's fantastic. Like all Dreambeans coffee, you can drink it as strong as you like without ever crossing the line into bitterness. The caffeine hit is a welcome bonus first thing in the morning or when you need a mid-afternoon boost. The Great Taste Awards judges notes are here in full: "This has a sweet fruity nose and brown sugar sweetness that is balanced and elegant on the palate. Adding milk pulls through a lychee sweetness and adds a bolder body that allows the acidic integrity of the coffee and a rich milky chocolate note. A delicious coffee that's intelligent and unexpected." "This has good consistent condition and level of roasting on the beans. The grind held chocolate, biscuit and nuts. Tried black first, we found the aroma to agree with the flavour, balanced and full and very tasty indeed. Then with milk, all of the previous is enhanced with richness and texture. This is clever coffee, and a combination of great crafting and cunning flavour harmonies." "This coffee has an acidic bright character upfront. There is complexity in this combination of origins, a great tasting blend and beautifully crafted. Milk marries all the qualities together, giving a balanced and refined taste. A really enjoyable product and cleverly put together." "Big notes of muscovado and tropical fruits are present for this well-balanced coffee that has gentle acidity and good balance. We feel this is very approachable,an excellent blend.... We actually preferred it black, where the profile was more prominent." We couldn't have put it better ourselves!

Two Gold Stars, Great Taste Awards

Jaggy Loko is a very special coffee. Don't take our word for it, the judges at the Great Taste Awards, the most prestigious of all coffee awards gave it two gold stars in 2019, saying: "Good looking beans, individual varieties seem to have been roasted separately. We tasted it as espresso then with milk and the rich fruitiness is suddenly developed. Such a good chocolatey, malted biscuit finish.  You set out to create a great flat white and that's exactly what you've done." The inspiration for Jaggy Loko came when we found its primary constituent, a lovely rich dark Colombian with the longest finish we’ve seen in a long time. A broker from The Hague tipped us off to a small consignment and we snapped it up straight away. We have since secured a regular supply of this lovely bean. We rounded out the top notes with a very smooth Sumatran Mandheling to counteract its tendency towards astringency and added some big high-grown Brazilian beans to make it more amenable to milk. Touches of Honduran and Mexican Arabicas complete the picture. It's a terrific coffee and a great favourite for many of our customers.
