What people say

  • I made a macchiato with a little steamed milk, took one sip and threw it out - I thought my milk had gone off. I'm definitely not doing that again! Straight black espresso until it's gone; not a flavour profile that I like.

  • I've just had my first latte with it (2 shots with oatly barista) and it's incredible, I was a bit apprehensive too but its so good.

  • of that, along with its mixed reception. But I have to take that all back, I was dead wrong. This coffee is superbly delicious and unique, and I honestly think the hate for it unjustified. It is probably the best limited edition pod they've

  • So, I was excited to try the Master Origin "La Cumplida Refinada."

  • Dark chocolate sorebetto, sprinkle of cinnamon, a lady finger, and a La Cumplida Refinada made for a delicious affogato tonight.

  • This coffee tasted awfully "off" with milk. Glad I bought only 1 sleeve

  • Great review. I agree. It’s a very unique flavour profile. Very subtle with nice nuances, particularly with the ‘wild fruit’ notes. I can see how you got apricot from it. I almost wrote ‘candied mandarin’.
