good drink!I tried to make one of these when they first arrived at my office in my coffee mug, one of those large mugs. I hated it, it was weak and terrible. I took them home and stashed them in a cupboard until one day I tried to use one in a much smaller cup, much like the one on the picture that allowed A) less water, and B) the bottom of the coffee bag to be in the water by the end of the pour allowing a bit of steeping. Way better. Now these are a go-to when I'm looking for a single cup during the day oe evening.One cup at the time is so convenient. This taste like a drip coffee made fresh one at the time.Makes my day every time. It's reasonable and worth the money.Its way too mild for me, however, can be used at night time and won’t bother your sleep.The product bag was already ripped. I haven't tasted yet, but outside package looks the original, so I'm hoping it's not fake. I expect Japanese products are to be delivered in a manner practiced in japan. The coffee taste very good.Personally, I'm not the kind of person who likes "paper filter through" coffee. I think paper steals everything from coffee: flavor, taste, all the substances that make coffee interesting and attractive. It steals coffee's soul. Sorry, it's just my opinion.However, 職人の珈琲 is not about it. Yes, this coffee has strong flavor and smooth taste, but that is not the point. It's all about ritual, ceremony, about something spiritual and mystic. You must make some efforts to give birth to your beverage. You must be careful, not to spill a drop, smelling and watching how something new is being born. I really enjoy this moment. Meanwhile, I look over the bag, trying to understand what is written on. It's one of the best moments I experience during my daily routing.I could say this coffee is made with love. Even the word "coffee" is not written as usual by katakana – コーヒー, but by kanji - 珈琲. It refers us back to traditions and "that times". And the whole name is translated as "craftsman's coffee".I strongly recommend to anybody have this kind of experience.This is one of the best tasting coffees I have ever had because it tastes clean and smooth with a slight smokiness to it. It is not bitter at all. It has a very balanced flavor that I love drinking this black. Even family and friends who usually don’t drink black coffee, they have started to drink this coffee black and appreciate its own flavor. Each time I make this coffee, there is always a compliment on how it smells so good. I have shared this coffee too with coworkers who are coffee lovers, and they love it. It is very fun to make, and it is the perfect coffee for travels. I am so happy that I can find this on Amazon at an affordable price. Delivery is also fast! All in all, it deserves 5 stars!Value for Money:I always use this product in HK and NY as it’s convenient. I recommended this product to my son in NY therefore I ordered this together with other blend for him to enjoy although price in NY is 2.60 times higher than HK?Finally on Amazon! Previously I brought this home from Asia. This has to be the best way to make a great coffee at a fair price with minimum fuss, leaving nothing to clean after apart from your cup.It's a great tadtonf coffee and is especially good when you travel and hotels only provide instant coffee. It doesn't take too much space and is easy to discard. Really good, definitely worth the money.It took a long time to arrive due to the pandemic, but it was honestly worth the wait. Very nice coffee, and such an elegant design that is easy to make without needing any machine or special equipment. Considering it's coming all the way from Japan the price is also very reasonable. No complaints. Thank you!Love this tasty coffee had this while in japan. Glad to get it on amazonExcellent coffee and arrived over a week before it was expected, excellent service and coffee thank you .
