The “Espresso Explorer Coffee Starter Kit” is your gateway to the exquisite world of espresso, meticulously crafted for budding enthusiasts and seasoned connoisseurs alike.

Loved by many of our professionals, this kit features two distinct blends, Espresso Grin and Espresso Smile, each selected to offer a unique perspective on the rich tapestry of coffee flavours. Espresso Grin is medium roasted for a rich, earthy mouthfeel and punchy coffee experience with notes that echo the traditional Italian espresso, while Espresso Smile offers a lighter, more nuanced profile with hints of chocolate, toasted almonds and fruit which just dance across the tongue.

For those who love cafetière, pour over, or drip brew, as with all Christopher Montrose Coffee, they deliver an equally delicious experience.

I have been drinking coffee from Christopher Montrose for a few years now, their varied and eclectic range of coffees are excellent and each one is easy to brew. Delivery is quick and the packaging is robust. Furthermore, having spoken with Montrose it is clear that he is knowledgeable and passionate about coffee and the industry. He really wants you to enjoy every cup of coffee that you consume. First rate coffee company.

Great coffee at a great price with quick and accurate delivery. After 40 years drinking coffee this is now the only coffee that I buy. Excellent

After my friend recommended Christopher Montrose's ground coffee to me, my coffee experience has been totally redefined. Their blends are masterfully crafted, creating a symphony of flavours that dance on my palate. Its taste is simply unbeatable, setting a new standard for what coffee should be. I've become a devoted fan!

My new favourite place to buy coffee. Exceptional quality and reasonably priced. Plus, shipping is always quick.

We have been using Christopher Montrose Coffee for our Community Coffee Mornings at Rendham Village Hall for some time now, and it's proving very popular! We are serving excellent fresh coffee and I can highly recommend this coffee to anyone. It's perfect for cafe's and at home!

The coffee from Christopher Montrose coffee is second to none. The range of blends and notes gives such a beautiful variety. I am particularly fond of the Espresso Grin for its sweet and earthy flavours. I can’t stop raving about it to all of my friends, the coffees are divine!

Beautiful coffee, can't start my day properly without one!! Lovely team too!!

I'm very impressed with Christopher Montrose Coffee, the taste in particular but what makes this business stand out from the rest is a personal service from an owner who is clearly passionate about quality coffee and your experience drinking it. Highly recommended.

I ordered the Swiss decaf from Christopher Montrose Coffee and it did not disappoint. It is robust and strong with a smooth finish, unlike many other decafs that I’ve tasted. The ordering and delivery was seamless too. It has definitely become my absolute fave.

The best espresso I have tasted for a long time A great selection and excellent service, Christopher Montrose was recommended to me and I have no hesitation in recommending to you. Well worth a try!

Amazing coffee and amazing customer service! Definitely recommend!

Great tasting coffee at a great price. A nice variety of flavours available and a nice decaf option too. Definitely worth a try - freshly roasted coffee beans are so different to supermarket bags that were roasted months ago.

Christopher Montrose coffee really does make you smile.. although I’m not an avid coffee drinker it’s always my first choice when I do decide to have a cup, weather it’s black, a latte or iced it always hits the spot with how uniquely delicious it is. I could not recommend trying the coffee enough.

Delicious Coffee! Easy to order and arrives when requested. Especially good for dinner parties and everyday use! I can highly recommend this coffee and the service given.

I've been enjoying Christopher Montrose Coffee since they launched and am now a big fan. For many years I bought my coffee from Monmouth in Borough Market, but no more... I have a new favourite. I'm particularly fond of one of their signature blends, 'Espresso Smile' (previously called Espresso 1) ....it does just that - makes you smile :)

Teammates & i experienced this coffee last weekend.... found it to be wonderfully rounded, depth of flavour & very enjoyable.... �
