LCurator note · Costa
The plain everyday jar in the Costa range, after a run of dessert sachets: a smooth medium roast lifted above basic instant by 10 percent real ground beans, which give it a fuller body and a touch of crema rather than the thin flatness of standard granules. Rounded, nutty, gently caramel, the all-day all-rounder that works black or with milk and suits guests who find dark roasts too aggressive. Not a connoisseur cup, but a genuinely good-value instant; the reliable cupboard staple, with the Intense Dark as the stronger alternative.
