Young lady in the shop(pe)

Young lady in the shop(pe)
that morning was very cordial and knowledgeable. She took the time to discuss some coffees of interest to me. I bot Galapagos, St. Helena and Nepal. I've tried them all by now and they are all very good. I'll keep an eye out for what is available online. I have a lot of Puerto Rican coffee to go through before l place any new orders, however. I usually drink 2 or 3 cups a day so it will take a while.

Did not meet expectations

I was so excited to try Sea Island Coffee largely because of the great reviews, and I saw the store while walking by. I'm a coffee-lover and have a soft spot for unique and rare beans.

That said, Sea Island didn't quite meet my expectations for the Nespresso capsule versions. I got the discovery set, and their bestselling pods are bland in the flavour profile. There's no flavour to taste, and they don't taste amazingly with milk. For Nespresso capsules in London, Ueshima Coffee Company is significantly better, and cost £3 each box while these ones cost me £19 each that I'll never get back.

Hi Bernard, Thank you for the 5-star review – we’re pleased you’re happy with the capsules and our service. When it comes to pricing, we always aim to keep things consistent and try to change prices as infrequently as possible. Some origins have risen in recent years due to rising costs of coffee and shipping, especially for rarer, more remote regions. That said, our capsule prices have remained unchanged for quite some time. We appreciate your understanding.

Delicious!!!

Sea Island Coffee is genuinely some of the best coffee I’ve ever had. The quality of the beans really comes through in every cup, it’s smooth, rich, and packed with flavour without being too bitter or strong.

Tried several different capsules and each one was unique in its own way, you can tell they’ve put real thought into the blends. It's a massive step up from the usual supermarket stuff and has totally ruined regular coffee from anywhere else for me too.

The packaging is gorgeous, which made the whole experience feel so luxurious.

If you're into coffee (aren’t we all?!), definitely give this a go. Seriously delicious and I never thought I’d like coffee black, but turns out I do when it’s “proper coffee"!!
