  1. Matt Licence –

    Recently become our coffee of choice when collecting from a local coffee shop. This makes an excellent espresso each and every time particularly in our Sage Barista Touch machine. We now only use Butterworths coffee in our home.. if it’s not Butterworth’s, it’s not worth it! The quality of coffee is well worth the price!

    • Butterworth & Son –

      Hi Matt, thank you for your review! Glad you are enjoying 4bean on your at home machine – what a treat!

  2. Natalia Zurowski (verified owner) –

    Found this blend about two years ago and still repurchasing. Nothing comes close, excellent flavour and blend!

    • Butterworth & Son –

      Hi Natalia, thank you for your review. Very glad to hear you have been enjoying the 4bean for so long! Happy drinking 🙂

    Perfect fresh beans for my Barista Express machine. Grind/dial in really well. Taste amazing.

    • Butterworth & Son (verified owner) –

      Thank you for your review Shane! Enjoy your coffee.

  5. Elliot Fowles (verified owner) –

    This is our favourite coffee we’ve tried from you so far. We’ve ordered this many times and it never fails to disappoint. Really high quality, strong and tasty which produces a lovely, rich crema.

    • media_butterworths –

      Hi Elliot. Thank you so much for the great review. Its an amazing thing when you find a coffee you enjoy and you can keep going back for it… its even more amazing when its good every time!

  6. Ryan Milne (verified owner) –

    So happy that we have found this blend it makes for wonderful coffee that everyone who drinks it loves.

    • media_butterworths –

      Thank you for the review Ryan! I do try to uphold my modesty, but I have to say that our 4Bean is on a level of its own, and can’t imagine not having it on our shelves!

    Bought as a present for my husband, it is now his favourite coffee!

    • media_butterworths –

      Thank you Erica, I’m glad we could turn a gift into a regular! tHE 4Bean never disappoints!

  9. Philip Payne (verified owner) –

    Prepared in a stovetop Bialetti, this (or the Artisan Espresso) has become part of my morning routine. Good coffee and a good read

    • media_butterworths –

      Hi Philip! Thank you for such a brilliant review. The Bialetti is a great brew method and one I really should take more advantage of!I am glad you have a routine that involves our coffee! We love to hear it! Thanks, again.

    Really great quality and consistent coffee – fantastic blend and flavour is just right. I grind from whole beans and use an ECM Mechanika machine to extract. No need to look anywhere else for coffee – and its just down the road.

  11. Calum McManus (verified owner) –

    decent coffee

  12. lukebaldwin93 (verified owner) –

    Bought this for myself to try and absolutely loved it. Have now bought it for all my friends to try too! Definitely recommend.

    • media_butterworths –

      Thank you, Luke! I don’t think I will ever get over how good the 4Bean is!

  13. john tyszkiewicz (verified owner) –

    This is our “go to” family choice of bean for the perfect espresso. Being somewhat of a wimp when it comes to caffeine, I mix this 50/50 with the Decaf blend for the perfect cup.

    • media_butterworths –

      Thank you for taking the time to leave a review John! How awesome that it is now a family favourite!
      Mixing it with the Decaf blend to create something specifically suited for you is what coffee loving is all about! If you ever want to try some of our other coffees, perhaps a single origin, feel free to pop us a message on the socials or send us an email and I would be glad to help you choose a bean that will tick all of your boxes!

    As an espresso drinker, you won’t find a better every day grind! Rich, smooth and full of fruit flavour.

    • media_butterworths –

      Thank you Matthew… hit the nail on the head with this one! Its truly an exceptional blend!
      -Lauren

  15. Philip Payne (verified owner) –

    A regular part of my morning regime; brewed in a Bialetti stove top. Slowly sipped, thinking time

    • media_butterworths –

      Bialetti stove top… absolutely perfect way to honour the 4Bean, and to include it in your morning routine is even more admirable! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review!

    Love this coffee flavour, rich and chocolatey ! Tried others however cannot beat this, delicious!

    • media_butterworths –

      Thank you Helen, the 4Bean really is a showstopper, isn’t it?

    Love this coffee flavour ! Tried others however cannot beat this, delicious!

  18. Liz Bright (verified owner) –

    Only drink the four bean blend now- take a thermos of it with me every time I leave home as it’s so much better than any other coffee. And with a coffee drinking university student son home over Christmas, our supplies have run low so here I am writing my review to get my £5 voucher!!

    • media_butterworths –

      Thank you for leaving such a positive review Liz, we always appreciate it! The 4Bean truly is delicious! We love hearing when daily members can share in the joy of coffee… thats what its all about!
      -Lauren

  19. Bildestoned (verified owner) –

    I somehow lost the knack of brewing this but it’s come back! 4 tablespoons per 12 fl. oz. works for me. Such a delicious taste.

    • media_butterworths –

      Hahaha, love it! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! It’s always great when you find your groove again!

    Ok, I run an award winning coffee retail outlet and we genuinely serve great coffee. However, having recently stumbled across B&Sons 4Bean Espresso Roast I am bound to admit, there’s is probably the best coffee, all round, I’ve tried. I cannot change supplier at the moment but will be looking at possibilities in the future. In the meantime, I shall use it at home. I’m really excellent coffee.

    • Rob (verified owner) –

      Thanks for your review Dennis. Our 4Bean has some of the best micro-lot coffees we can lay our hands on. Drop us an email when you’re ready to move over to us and let’s chat coffee 🙂 – Rob B.

  21. Bildestoned (verified owner) –

    My second review (I think). This coffee is the nicest I’ve ever tasted. My old blend choice I’d stuck by for 20 years but this is far superior. The only downside is I have to use 4 measures compared to old 3 to achieve the right taste in my French press.

    • Rob (verified owner) –

      It’s great to read we’ve converted you to the 4Bean appreciation club. The roastery’s heart & soul goes in to this blend and so do some of the best coffees I can source. It’s no wonder it’s our best seller. Thank you for your review ~ Rob B. PS are you using filtered water? It may help. We look to use water with a TDS (dry residue) of around 150PPM.

  22. Paul Browne (verified owner) –

    Best espresso blend. Spent time in Italy this summer. Had some great espresso/ americanos. This beats them all. Brew mine in the old style mocha pot.

  23. Sam (verified owner) –

    There is a real problem with this coffee: it’s so delicious which has massively increased our caffeine intake! Also, Butterworth’s click and collect service is brilliant.

  24. Kelly Sadler (verified owner) –

    I’ve tried so many coffees, and loved them- however this is my new favourite. It’s such a lovely smooth flavour. 5*
