Let me start off by saying I'm an instant coffee junkie. Give me a Nescafe Classic bottle and I'm a happy girl. A Krueger, Nespresso, percolator, they're all too much for me. The French Press has a special place in my heart, though. That I can use, basically because I have 3 courtesy of my amazing Taiabu (Paternal uncle) and it was he who introduced me to the world of ground coffee.
I didn't think I would ever find coffee grounds the likes of the German brand, Jacobs Kronug in Karachi. That's why I was so happy to find Fika Coffee & Co. has recently been introduced by Fahad Arif Moten, an avid coffee connoisseur, definitely more so than my instant junkie self. As you can see, he has done the packaging right, by adding a vacuum seal to ensure maximum freshness of the coffee grounds. It's also resealable so you can keep the product in the packaging until the last tablespoon. Not to mention, all their coffee is certified specialty grade, which means on the SCAA grading scale, every bean has a cupping score of at least 78 or higher. Fancy? I know!
I have attached the product list Fahad sent over, and I chose Celebration Day because it was perfect for espresso purposes. You can choose either the coffee bean or the ground variety. Priced at PKR 600 for 100 g and PKR 1100 for 250 g, there is also a subscription box available for PKR 2000 with special blend coffees for the true coffee lover.
Was the coffee worth it? Absofrickinlutely. If you're getting the ground coffee, a French Press is definitely the way to go. The Celebration Day blend was strong, smooth, and had a definite zing of instant energy.
