Costa Coffee Intense Dark Roast - 100g

Costa is the coffee chain Britain grew up with. Ask anyone where they met a friend, waited out the rain or killed twenty minutes before a train, and there is a fair chance the answer is a Costa. Coffee in Britain stopped being a jar at the back of the cupboard and became a high street habit, and Costa was right in the middle of it.

That is why people in Canada go looking for it. It is not about chasing the fanciest bean. It is about the taste of an ordinary Tuesday back home, the one you did not know you would miss until it was a long way off.

This is a 100g pack of the Intense Dark Roast. Keep it closed, keep it somewhere cool and dry, and make it the way you always did. It sits happily in the cupboard between mornings, though between mornings rarely lasts long.

Strong coffee wants something to dunk in it. People tend to pick up a packet of chocolate digestives or a box of Tunnock's teacakes alongside, which is exactly what a sensible person would do.
