Today we are talking about one of my favourite little daily luxuries. Coffee. I have to come clean and admit I have not always been a coffee fan and I didn't start drinking it until my 20's. You see I am a bit weird like that. Having grown up in the highlands and only tasting cheap coffee granules I was not a fan of coffee.
I remember working many night shifts in a previous job and smelling other peoples coffee and wishing I liked it. My journey with coffee actually started with a trip to the doctors. I was going through a very rough period health-wise and I was diagnosed with a few things, one of which was low blood pressure. This was when I was told I need to drink 3 cups of coffee a day and up my salt intake. This was the day I started my coffee journey.
I found out rather quickly that I did in fact like coffee. I had just never tasted good coffee before. Sorry, cheap granule coffee, you are just not it for me. I have a rather refined coffee palette. I am overly picky and critical. I now see myself as a coffee connoisseur and am always on the hunt for my next coffee obsession. I take my coffee rather seriously you see. I have, of course, got a nice coffee machine in my kitchen along with cafeterias and other coffee-making gadgets and gizmos.
Down The Range Coffee motto is life is too short to drink mediocre coffee. I mean I couldn't agree more. They pride themself in their customer care and have signed the Armed forces Covenant.
Now we know a bit about them, let's talk about the coffee.
I got my hands on D.T.R.C's One-use Coffee bags. I love coffee bags and I have no idea why more companies don't offer these. They are just so convenient. I love these for our van conversion. They are great for travelling.
First I wish you could smell these Coffee bags. They smell divine. The coffee bags have 10g of Colombians finest blended coffee in each bag. You can smell that this is a quality product. We all know the smell of a product is important to me. Especially with something like coffee this can make or break a product for me.
All I do to make my perfect cup of coffee is boil the kettle and add the water. Leave the bag to infuse for about 2 minutes for a weaker cup or 3 minutes for a nice strong cup of coffee. This is a smooth coffee. It has a nice balanced smooth taste. I find it a creamy caramel coffee with a faint hint of nutty undertones. I add milk to mine. It makes a delicious tasting cup of coffee.
These coffee bags are biodegradable. Making them better for the environment than some I could mention. We all know who I am talking about. I love this well done D.T.R.C.
Down the Range coffee has the cheapest coffee bags on the market at 37p per cup. Making them a super affordable little everyday luxury.
They are really conveniently individually wrapped. This makes them perfect for popping in your handbag. I have also packed them in my hiking bag with a flask of hot water. I mean who doesn't love a nice fresh coffee up a mountain?
You can order these one-use coffee bags in 10, 100, 200, and 300. You can also set up a subscription, so you never run out of your new favourite coffee. If you subscribe you will receive a 10% discount on your order making the price per cup even cheaper. Win-win
In case you are wondering how much I love this coffee Here is my desk just as I was about to start writing this post.
I definitely recommend you try Down the Range coffee for yourself and see what you think. I am off to make myself another little cup for a little pick me up before I hit the bike.
