Customer feedback is generally favourable about flavour, smooth texture and a strength described as neither too strong nor too mild. Some customers also report good freshness, while experiences with shelf life and aroma are mixed, including reports of a stale-ground-coffee smell.

- Feedback describes the blonde roast's strength as balanced rather than too strong or too mild.
- Some customers say the coffee stays fresh after grinding.
Mixed feedback
- Shelf life receives differing reports, with some saying it lasts a long time and others expecting it to last longer.
