International Roast Coffee Powder

like many...or all here.. i came here after purchasing a can.. taking a break from nescafe coffee sticks i thought might be good.. i grew up in the 80s.. international roast was my first coffee as a lad i thought it waa just me... wet cardboard headache inducing burnt toast sickening... no this isnt international roast i just brought 30 nescafe sticks again Show details

Ruined Roast coffee – Was best coffee , loved it. Beans imported from France. Now just says imported. Much darker colour now. Been drinking over 20 years now it's crap. Nescafe owns. I'm presuming bought company and mixing new cheap crap to increase profits. They sent me email saying import beans from all around the world. But France was not on list. So not even same… Read more

coffee it was before obviously. Another company profit driven and don't give a damn about loyal customers. Hoping you to dumb to notice.

Very brown – I don't drink coffee so I can't comment on the taste but I use it for toning paper and it creates a rich, brown, oily stain better than those more expensive brands. It smells like a dirty ashtray got washed in paint stripper and leaves a permanent sludgy residue in my sink but the colour is perfect and the price is good. Show details

Hubby in a nursing home need smaller tins – I need to know were to purchase the smaller tins what happened to them. Please dont like those large tins I feel it does not stay fresh enough if buying the large tins for my Husband Show details

Would give 6 stars if I could – This coffee is a breakthrough. Great taste, superb value. An overall great coffee to drink. A lot of people are put off from drinking International Roast, but the secret Is putting the milk in before the water to avoid burning the coffee Show details

Very Average coffee ☕ – Observation did you know there's an awesome coffee bean called Rosa Caffe that has an awesome aroma & flavour for $12 a kilo, from the Casula fruit supermarket of the hume Highway in Casula. Way better than international roast, Maccona & Nescafe. Also Trung Nguyen from Amazon.

The worst coffee I've ever tasted, and I've tasted alot – Too sweet, linear taste profile with next to nothing going on except a overly disgusting cream taste with slight bitterness on the finish. Does not taste nice even when buying it fresh. I've tasted alot of bad coffee and this takes the cake as the worse in all aspects, anyone who thinks this coffee is good knows nothing about coffee or what good coffee should be like. It's absolutely disgusting and doesent get any worse than this.

This is what prisoners get – I done time in gaols across NSW and this is the coffee we get in our ration packs, This coffee is horrible and I believe it was a further punishment that we was served this horrendous stuff. Show details

Coffee you say! My dirt taste better – My old employer use to supply this. I being a coffee addict even stopped drinking this "Coffee" as it is not coffee. I even know people who buy this for home. I understand at times money is tight but my craps this is utter rubbish yet people still drink it. How in lord do you class this as coffee, may as well say a tent pitched at a beach is a luxury unit. Surely this is a big gee up claiming it as coffee.

Is this really coffee? – I have had my suspicions for years, but I am sure that International Roast is actually made from chickory. Whatever is is, it probably isn't coffee. It doesn't taste like coffee at all, in fact it is the most horrible tasting brand of coffee I have ever encountered. If you have any alternative, please don't waste your money on this product.

This is not coffee this is mud – Avoid at all costs. There are many other brands out there that do not taste like an old ashtray for a similar price. How does this even exist in today's market.

Terrible – Makes me feel sick and doesn't hit my adrenals right. I swear it is decaffeinated because it sucks. Pay abit more for something better this stuff is absolute crap.

Disappointed – My gran parents always bought this so I had an acquired taste for this coffee but I have to agree that the recipe has changed, and not for the better. I really don’t know what they have done to it. Show details

A poor excuse for coffee – It is terrible. Simply terrible. It doesn’t taste or smell like coffee. I’m hesitant to drink it even when I’m deprived of caffeine! I’m 20 living off of instant coffee of all sorts. But this International Roast is disappointing beyond belief and doesn’t even deserve 1 Star. It is so bad I’ve felt the need to comment and rant about it. Thank you for listening to my TED talk Show details

Stale with little to no caffeine value – Stale old coffee with little value as a morning caffeine hit due to its poor quality. As someone that requires caffeine for health reasons, the lack of said substance is jarring even with 5 spoons in each cup. Each overloaded cup does absolutely nothing compared to 1/5 the amount of any other brand and tastes like dirt. Show details

Bitter burnt taste – We to have been drinking International Roast for over 30 yrs and find it has now changed to a burnt bitter taste. Seeing as we always buy the large tin it will be a very long time before we enjoy a cupper again. Please revert back to your original recipe or we will regretfully have to try another brand. Show details

No taste – I have also been drinking international roast for 30 years. I thought my taste buds have disappeared as I can no longer taste and enjoy my coffee.. what's happened.. I'm glad it's not me, time to change. :-( I miss my coffee..

Over Roasted first time – We have been using International Roast Coffee for many years, but the last tin tastes like it has been burnt or well and truly over roasted so much so that we have had to buy another brand. Very disappointed.

2nd Chance – I originally didn't like your coffee when I first had it over 10 yrs ago - so I tried several other brands which I found to be too strong so came back to International Roast to give it a second chance & haven't looked back since. Taste has definitely improved & now it's only coffee I drink! Thank you!!! Show details

Bring back the old recipe – We have bought International Roast for more than 30 years up until recently when we experienced the same problem as others. We contacted International Roast consumer line to be told that from last October 2017 they have changed the recipe and are now roasting the beans to get a better aroma. The result of this is that the coffee tastes burnt. We have now changed coffee... as we have totally lost confidence.

What have they done? – At least our tastebuds are not dying. We both thought our morning coffees tasted wrong but now that I've read the reviews on here, we are not alone. My partner has tried putting more sweetener in to make it taste right, I just thought my taste was having a holiday. I hope it improves shortly or I am going to have to find another coffee, which will… Read more

be hard because I don't like any other brand of coffee. Also I have 2 large cans in the cupboard which I can't afford to chuck out. I have tried other coffee brands at other people's places but International Roast is the only one I like, 25 years worth. So, please, makers of International Roast, put it back the way it was, before you have no customers ! ! !

Not just the taste! – I firmly agree with what everyone else is saying. The taste has gone down hill steadily for a while. I thought it was my taste buds with the horrible after taste until I read numerous reviews but what really gets me at the moment is their decision to stop supplying it in small cans. As we all know, if you don't consume it in a relatively short… Read more

time it goes stale which only adds to the current lack of quality. Their decision to not supply in quantities in supermarkets in tins under 1kg is a joke as most households will throw it out long before the can is empty as it will go stale. I've been drinking it for at least 35 years now along with my parents and 6 siblings plus their children. None of us will buy it now! We are all now looking for alternatives. In my family alone that's more than 30 people! I wonder if the moronic bean counters who make these decisions can do the maths and extrapolate this over the nation and equate it to their eventual bottom line. All of my extended family are now looking for alternatives. I have tried a number of times to talk about this issue but you are obviously too arrogant and ignorant to take notice. I hope this isn't your downfall. Customers talk with their feet and it seems that it what most are doing. Wake up!

Worst taste Ever – I have been a dedicated International Roast coffee drinker for over 30years. Always my morning ritual to start my day with a great cup . The last tin ....will be my last tin.! The taste is disgusting and I am now looking for a new coffee. Very disappointing.

International roast coffee powder – When they change the flavor of a product you would think they would taste it themselves before selling it the new flavour is terrible and leaves a bitter after taste in your mouth.

What has happened to International Roast? – I have drunk this coffee for 35 years and when I opened this last tin, I found it wasn't the same. I thought I was imagining it, but on reading other people's comments here, I see I wasn't. The taste is definitely appauling! How disappointing when a reliable product lets you down. I will be looking for another brand.

Can not drink the new cans off coffie – I am a regular internationalised drinker have bought new 500g tins of coffee that tastes absolutely burnt their undrinkable .tryed different tins now have three different 500g tins all the same. A 500g tin lasts about 3 weeks these tin will last for ever can't drink it

Burnt coffee bitter taste – Have drank Intern. Roast for years. Best coffee out, until this last tin. Disgusting. Tastes burnt and leaves a bitter taste. Not happy because I don’t like other coffees.
