Both come in at 10 quid for a kilo which seems very reasonable. Has anyone tried them? Any reasons to buy or avoid?

hi mankini,
i can't say anything about those particular blends. but i personally don't like espresso blends which contain considerable (that is more than 10% for me) amounts of robusta. the Izzo blend contains 40% robusta and the Italia Creme even more. they don't specify the percentage. they just say:
'Special blend of Robust and Arabica with more Robusta influence for that extra kick.'
To me that sounds like there's more than 50% robusta in it...
my taste buds would furiously scream at me... 
i'm drinking only espresso and this sort of blend might be different in milk based drinks. but i don't digest milk very well, so i wouldn't know...
cheers,
olaf |
