About this deal

The smell reminds me of instant coffee, although regular instant coffee usually has a much stronger dried seafood smell. If you want to be pedantic, you may say the one from the brewed coffee is slightly lighter colored than the instant coffee cup. I initially deliberated between pour-over or French press. However, I think the latter method allows me to sample the coffee. This is because the French press does not remove much coffee oil and fine particles, producing a full-flavored coffee. Does this mean the brewed coffee cup will be smokier? Or it doesn’t really matter? Let’s see. Aroma

I also seem to notice some floral notes too. This is, to me, very pleasant and increases my satisfaction on sipping the coffee. When putting my nose into the brewed coffee cup, I can smell the aroma of coffee, with not much smoke inside. There are also hints of cereal and cocoa. It was a pleasant smell and triggered my desire for a sip. I sipped many times but could not find the floral note in the brewed version of the Veranda Blend. Instant coffee also does not have the smooth, soft texture of the brewed version.

Color on both sides remains on the darker brown side, with a little bit of transparency. I used a large spoon to scoop up the coffee and slurp it for tasting. The idea is to ensure I draw in coffee and enough air to allow the flavor of the coffee to shine through. I am glad I did this because it clearly allowed me to tell the difference between them. The whole bean roast uses 100% Arabica beans sourced from Latin America. These beans are then lightly roasted to preserve the natural characteristics of the coffee.

I also looked at the coffee from the bottom of the cup and flashed some light. I can see sediments on both cups, with the ones on the whole bean cup slightly more. For the Veranda Roast whole beans, I first ground them down to medium coarseness. I plan to brew the coffee using my French press. Next, I think the natural step would be to compare the smell and aroma of the coffee. I brought my nose close to the cups and began sniffing.

Terms & Conditions

Do ignore the volume differences. This is the result of brewing the coffee as per the instructions. Many coffee drinkers enjoy the whole process of making coffee. From opening up a new bag to smelling the coffee, grinding, brewing, and finally pouring out a cup to sip, the whole procedure is fun, even therapeutic.

In my previous review, I noticed the seafood smell disappeared when the coffee was a little cooler. This did not happen with the Veranda Blend. I waited for about 10 minutes and tried sniffing again. The soy sauce-like smell remains. Taste When I sipped the whole-bean brewed coffee, I tasted a little smoke. This is expected since the Veranda Blend is a light roast. The coffee is also smooth and has a softness that makes the coffee easy to enjoy.

The instant coffee version of the Veranda Blend has a stronger acidity, and the acidity does not seem to have a citrus base. Unlike the brewed version, there is also not much cereal note with this coffee. When it was in use, the system delivered Veranda Blend blonde roast with a softer, balanced taste that would blend well with milk. Each pod contained high-quality arabica ground coffee. Once I finished grounding, I went straight into brewing. I put 10 grams of ground coffee into my Bodum Caffettiera French press. Then, I added 6 fl oz (180ml) of off-boiling, hot water. There is a small bit of coffee foam, like a broken-up layer of crema, on the brewed coffee. This is expected since it comes from a French press. The instant coffee version has no crema layer.
