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