Can't decide right? Rich and smooth, or fruity and bright? Well, Let the mule indulge you. Cappuccino, latte or espresso shot, this one's designed to stop your dithering and get you what you really want.
Courtesy of organic smallholdings from across the globe, the Landscape Espresso is slow roasted in a way that keeps that dark chocolate, caramel depth, while letting fresh soft fruit flavours bring the noise.

Storage
Looking after this coffee.
Store away from direct sunlight and any strong odours - these beans have had enough sun thank you very much. And don't even think about putting it in the fridge.
Once open, squeeze out the air, seal the bag tightly and use within 2 weeks.
Preparation and Usage
1. Choose your weapon
Grumpy Mule coffees are suitable for use in a wide range of brewing equipment. For espresso machines, finely grind your beans for best results.
2. Load Up
Use 2 heaped dessertspoonfuls (those big ones your mum only had out for special occasions) of fresh, ground coffee per cup. If you want to be a nerd about it that's 15g per 250ml of coffee.
Espresso-heads, a good extraction time for our coffee is about 27 seconds per shot. Just don't count mississipily (watch Friends, it'll make sense).
3. Fire!
Allow heated water to come off the boil (about 93-95º) before pouring. It's just enough time to tweet a pic of the pack at a jaunty angle. Serve the coffee immediately once brewed.
Instructions
Our distinctive coffees are suitable for use in a wide range of coffee brewing equipment including filters, French press (cafetiere), percolators, AeroPress®, Chemex® and siphons.
Use 1-2 heaped dessertspoonfuls of fresh ground coffee per cup or adjust according to taste. Allow the heated water to come off the boil before pouring and serve the coffee immediately once brewed.
For espresso machines, we recommend that you finely grind your choice of Grumpy Mule coffee beans for the best results.
Experiment and enjoy.

But he's not really that type. The mere sight of Robusta beans or instant coffee crumples his brow and clenches his jaw.
After all, good coffee is never a matter of taking it easy - flavour doesn't just 'turn up'. It needs to be cultivated by expert growers, coaxed by obsessive roasters, and given the 'Hooves up' by the fussiest critic there is.

Very good
Very good one ! I recommend it
Wonderful complex, strong coffee
Satisfying mix of tastes backed by a reassuring strength. A very nice espresso. I made it in an espresso machine but will try it in a Moka pot too.
Good but used to be even better?
I was so happy that I found this coffee again on Ocado, I loved this particular blend so much a few years ago. I had this anticipation to be wowed this time but then it was just "good"...not bad at all but not as great as it used to be. Also, I think it used to be much cheaper even when not on offer. Now even on offer it is more expensive than what it used to cost. But I am all for fair trade and if it got expensive for the right reasons, it is OK...I am still looking for my fave espresso though.
Not bad for a supermarket coffee
Tasted ok but it had no indication of when it was roasted, could be really old. Bought for emergencies if i ran out between rave coffee subscribe and save. My be advice is to buy from an independent roaster if you can where the beans have been freshly roasted. A good piece of advice I was given is all good coffees have a 'roasted on' date as well as a 'best before'.
Not my style of coffee
‘I’m reviewing this product because I got a free sample from Ocado. Had a good smell on opening packet but that quickly faded. Too fruity for my taste but quite smooth
Wonderful gorgeous excellent
These are my favourite brand of coffee beans. You open the packet, the aroma is sublime, I use in a coffee machine and get the best espresso or cappuccino. I've tried already ground beans and it's just not the same, the aroma is lost and so is the taste. Ocado PLEASE keep selling Grumpy Mule or I'll be very grumpy !
