What's this mean . . . Is it some kind of swear word?

Oh no! Cowi Poowak?

 

[Stanic]

I've been!

Not only are the beans delux, they were in the aisle of totally delux items!

rather curious to see the pic of roasting level

Not sure if it's visible but they are not the darkest roast I've seen, kind of medium-dark...

 

[Beanedict]

This is the coffee in comparison with other beans:

left: Fruit and Nut Espresso blend from Pact, Dark Roast. varietals: Caturra, pacamara, Bourbon, Catuai. Fully Washed

middle: lidl coffee, Kenya Masai

right: A dark roast from local roaster in Manchester. Fully washed

Even though Pact says it's dark roast, it is the lighter of the three and it tastes very nice if you like dark chocolate and nut notes. The Lidle one i've not tried yet, but it looks a bit darker roast than the one from Pact. And the darkest one is from Kickback Coffee, despite the dark roast it tastes nice too, also chocolate and nut but has a slight bitter kick at the end, but enjoyable bitter. Clearly the colour is not everything

Same as above only at close up:

 

[Stanic]

that doesn't look that bad

Worst case you get a nice barrel & a load af beans for sink shots immediately after backflushing with pulycaf etc.

Anybody brewed some up yet? I want to see Lidl beans going through a 2 grand grinder lol

What's this mean . . . Is it some kind of swear word?

LOL! No, it was in reference to the comment about the Maasai being nomadic cattlemen. I fancied that, were they to grow coffee, they might be tempted to let the cows 'process' it for them a la Kopi Luwak hence Cowi Poowak (should probably be Kopi Moo-wak)

Given the folklore around the discovery of coffee by an Ethiopian goat herder named Kaldi who noticed his goats being energetic after eating coffee berries, you may not be to far from the truth!

In your dreams

 

[espressotechno]

Just come back from a Lidl shop: Yummy German chocolate (to go with a/dinner espressos), Stollen (with Rum), Cremant de Bourgogne,Cava, Dutch & German beers, etc etc.....and with "change from a groat".

Aldi next time, provided I can fight my way past all the Audis, BMWs and Mercs parked there.

 

[hotmetal]

They do do nice continental chocolate, booze and meats in Lidl

Aldi next time, provided I can fight my way past all the Audis, .... parked there.

Audi drivers needing spectacles perhaps? [emoji1]

Popped in for a service, came out with a trolley!
