Phil & Sebastian - Smooth Operator

First I’ll say, I mostly drink light roasts. This is the most developed coffee I’ve had in years, so it’s not really my preference. I found it to be quite roasty and there was a bitterness in there that I could not remove, even when using a super low extraction recipe (1:15, 87°C). It was most enjoyable when cooling down; the toffee/brown candy sweetness presented more clearly and the bitterness subsided a bit. I much, MUCH prefer P&S Sugar Heist to this one.

Smooth cup of espresso

My absolute favourite coffee! The only one I have been ordering for years and will order the big bag in. I make daily flat whites, and it is perfect with them and the hazelnut syrup as well. Such perfect coffee notes!

A really nice easy drinking coffee.Would order again

Tastes great, smooth.

This rich nutty coffee is what I look forward to when the weather starts to turn to winter.

This was part of my first order and I love the taste of this coffee. the coffee quiz did not disappoint

Lovely classic tasting every day coffee with subtle sweetness

This is a great coffee for my coffee pot in the morning or drip. A great smooth cup.

Very nice, smells awesome and nice taste! Will definitely try more P&S in future.

Smooth indeed! Great price for a great brew from Phil and Sebastian

The price is right and it scratches the itch. A bit darker than I typically drink but enjoy the tasting notes.

Just as it is titled “smooth operator” this translates when it comes to the flavour. This coffee is smooth and rich with nutty hints. The notes of caramel give it that perfect amount of sweetness to round out the bitterness of the chocolate. Delightful taste to tantalize the tongue.

Smooth, great for filter and pour overs. Was roasted still within the last 2 weeks of purchase date and quick delivery.

Easily one of the best espresso beans from the 30 to 40 different roasts we've tried. If you like the more chocolate flavored espresso beans, less bitter flavoured you should like this one

Love this roast! One of my favs for cappuccinos. The notes are perfect and you can really tell the difference from other coffees with notes like dark chocolate and toffee. A perfect roast in my book.
