Got 750g in this week based on Baz's recommendation
Overall, it's very nice, using my now trademark tiny dose (around the 13g mark) fine MXK grind and hard tamp. Though with this blend, I get a good sized pour. It's got plenty to give up.
Lovely texture and colour in the cup from a spouted pour, and very nice in the mouth, though I'm still undecided on the best temperature to brew at.
My only disappointment was blowing the first bag completely by running it through that Mazzer of mine after fitting the new burrs. Coffee stuck to everything, and no chance of a decent shot. Bah.
One thing I wasn't clear on was whether James Gourmet Coffee roast to order or not ? There was no roast date on the bags, and the order email didn't really say. Anyone know for definite ?
Definitely worth a try.

Edit: Forgot to say, it also made a damn fine cappa this evening, the first milk drink I'd tried with it.
