Tasting experience
As a Pour over, Strawberry & Lychee aromas are arresting. Imagine drinking a top-notch Pu-Erh tea balanced across with the acidity of citrius and sweetness of a plum. Don't be surprised if you feel as if you have been drinking coffee in the Bahamas because the floral notes in this Ethiopian Blend is not one to be missed for you floral fruity lovers out there. Being a clean, silky smooth pour is no longer just plain joe.
As an Espresso, floral notes are turn low towards a fruity tea nuance. Lychee is the outstanding flavour here apart from its delicate Citrus flavour reminisce of Candied Oranges.

Love this fruity Apex Trio!
Ben Y.
Love the freshness of the coffee beans. Richness in the body and taste awesome always a good start for the day!

I deliberated a lot before making this order as I wasn't sure if I would like the acidity, but I do love it! Tried it both as a flat white and long black and the strawberry notes come through really strongly (nice strong). Nice, balanced acidity as a black - thanks for the recommendations on brewing ratios. A definite reorder for me.
Willard T.
Love this blend! Always looking forward to having more! Will definitely buy again.
Colin L.
One of my biggest fears is Cowpresso disappearing someday. I won’t have a clue who else can roast my beans just the way I like it.
MANYU W.
The strawberry flavour is tuned down a bit compared to last time, still good coffee!
ZJ P.
Absolutely value-for-money and great tasting coffee. Delivery was prompt as advertised—beans were fresh and the aroma smelled wonderful too!
Aiken O.
First time trying them, love the coffee beans!
Colin L.
I think I might be completely and hopelessly addicted. Today i thought I ran out of beans when my grinder hopper ran empty and I panicked.
Matthew A.
Awesome beans. Bright acidity with hints of lychee!
Gary C.
Loving it ❤️
Siok He Y.
Excellent coffee beans - well packed, prompt delivery
Adelena O.
Second Cowpresso blend I’ve tried and it’s really good! Strawberry notes were very distinct and delicious.
Kheng Hau K.
very nice and good quality of coffee beans. Love it!
Colin L.
They rushed over my last batch just in time for the Lunar New Year, and it was as great as ever. Yum!
Serene C.
I drink my coffee black and this is my first time purchasing the Ethiopian Apex Trio. However I still prefer the Brazil Santos bean which I find it more aroma and less acidic for black coffee
Jing Kang Y.
Good and affordable daily coffee driver!
Rebecca X.
Lovely aroma, would definitely order again !
Allen T.
We have been enjoying it daily. Morning coffee with cool breeze at the balcony is just fantastic. Ethiopian Yirguji is truthfully fruity. Best for your drips.
Colin L.
Again I told myself to slow down so I could take a picture. But yet again the cup ran dry before I could.
Kelly C.
Love the hint of citrus floral
Elena B.
I am not sure I am completely in love with this one, a bit too acidic to my taste. I prefer Guatemala San Vicente much more, it is a bit less acidic but more of a balanced taste.
Angeline L.
First time trying this. Nice coffee.
Colin L.
Sorry, it was too tasty and I drank it too fast. All I have to show is this empty cup
Lois T.
This blend smells very intriguing. However it was difficult to get a nice pour over cup. However, when the coffee cools the sweetness is makes it more enjoyable.
Cheng han G.
Very nice fruity taste !
For fruity flavor lovers
Thomas O.
Great for my morning pour over
Colin L.
I think 5% of my body mass consists of these beans now. Just saying.
Herman A.
Got the Ethiopian Apex Trio on a whim. While I usually get single origin, I got this instead as the Ethiopian single origin was out of stock. Wasn't disappointed. Wait for a little less than a week after roasting to degas for best experience. It works great for both espresso and V60. I tasted hints of berry with a floral scent. It's also very light so you can drink more without the jitteriness if you're so inclined.
Vikki K.
Tastes great for cold brew! Got a bag for a friend to try and he liked it too. Fragrant and tasty!
Kelly K.
I use the beans for espresso. Smooth and balanced! Recommended.
Hairi N.
One of the best blends I've had in a while.
Colin L.
OM NOM NOM. Seriously I don’t know what else to write anymore, I’ve ordered this so many times and reviewed it so many times and said about every good thing about it I can.
Amanda C.
Yum yum. First cup and still trying to dial it in. Floral and tea-like with smoky notes? Hopefully I can figure out how to bring out the strawberry but it’s yummy now!
WanThart W.
Still have not been successful to make good coffee out of it
Poh Suan T.
Nice taste
Colin L.
Delicious. Every. Single. Time.
jaeyoung s.
Great taste! Best choice for home latte.
Colin L.
So chocolatey sometimes I think I might be drinking hot chocolate. The best.
Manyu W.
First time trying this blend and it's mind blowing. Espresso tastes like fresh strawberry fruit and latte tastes like lychee candy. So special!
Ivan L.
The roast level is actually darker than Medium, I would say it’s closer to the dark roasted end already. Hence, we find it might not be so suitable for hand drip coffee as it tends to bring out too much of bitterness with the typical hand drip water temp and ground level. Nevertheless, with the a lower water temperature and coarser ground level, it is still an acceptable one for hot hand drip method. Would not purchase again unless Cowpresso make it back to medium or even light roasted level.
CHIN CHING T.
Nice coffee
Erica N.
Love the fruity notes from the Ethiopian beans!
Colin L.
This is probably what addiction feels like. Help me. I can’t stop. I’m kidding please don’t stop me it’s too good
Jing Yi N.
Nice floral aroma. Not too acidic.
Kayleigh J.
Such a unique coffee! You can definitely smell the fruity notes when you open the bag. Although I usually do not lean towards the acidic coffees, I did like this one a lot!
Edward L.
blended tis and p.peabery w/ eropres......orh mai gawd, tot i just drank machiam merlot, minus the tart. By itself, prolly can fool ur non-coffee-drinker friend into thinking they just drank strawberry flavoured tea, just dun forget splash a tiny bit of stevia before serving.
Ken T.
Noice.
Nathanael A.
Second time buying this and I just can’t enough of it!
Colin L.
Lovely as always!
Perry G.
Wonderful fruity aroma, easy to enjoy!
Grayson T.
Love the smell
Colin L.
ITS HERE AGAIN! I was panicking because I ran out of beans (zero!!)after my cup this morning and it arrived just in time for my afternoon fix. Whew!
Colin L.
My absolute favorite. This round the roast seemed darker than usual, but still good!
Nathanael A.
Fruity, citrusy notes. Awesome coffee blend.
Kylie Y.
Nice blend
Chi Eng C.
I have subscripted to 1kg every 3-4weeks for my office. Apex trio has came in the rotation for few times now, so I have tried the earlier lighter roasted version too. We mainly use v60 filter & occasionally aeropress, nanopresso.
Everyone likes the amazing smell either way. Overall when extracted well, it's clean, decent brightness(like orange juice) and body.
New slightly darker roast version brought down the acidity slightly, but up the sweetness & body. It completes the whole palette, brings out more flavour for tongue.
It's easier to extract now, make it usable for nanopresso as well. For filter, I have to dial up the coarseness & water flow speed considerably.
Denise W.
A really tasty drip cup with nice notes, not too acidic and so fragrant. Will def order again. Might try it as an espresso soon
Yixuan Y.
I really love the fruity and floral note to this beans! Will totally order again.
Ivan L.
Second time getting this Ethiopia Apex Trio as we prefer to drink iced coffee and Ethiopia beans are especially good for making iced hand drip coffee.
The first time when we tried this bean from Cowpresso, it was really an amazing one. Full of fruit note, moderate acidity and sweet in mouth after finishing.
However, this time was not as good as the first time. Upon opening the package, the beans smell much more roasted than the previous one we had. And as expected, brewing with the same consistent water temperature, ground level and water ratio, we are experiencing burnt and slight bitter taste in the coffee without any fruit note and acidity noted. We suspect that Cowpresso have over roasted for the batch we ordered.
Viv Z.
I like the acidity and the aroma
Chen Ming C.
Nice acidity
Yoman Y.
Nice floral notes
Colin L.
My absolute favorite. Life can’t go on without it anymore. I am ruined.
Wayne T.
Arrived quickly, beans are very fresh, lots of bloom during the brewing process. Nice tasting, quite complex, strong but sweeter rather than outright bitter. Only con is that it's roasted pretty dark, don't think it's a true medium roast as labelled on the packaging. More like a medium-dark roast? A slightly lighter roast would probably bring the unique flavours out a bit better.
John C.
Not bad! Will try other flavour!
Amanda O.
Love the taste of the beans! The aroma is great too!
Lydia L.
Taste is balanced
Aleksandra P.
Incredibly rich, flavourful blend - so fruity, absolutely not bitter. It gets me ready for another wfh trudge. I love it with some foam on top to add some creaminess.
Also came in adorable packaging.
Will definitely repurchase!
Thomas L.
Another fantastic roast !
Daniel G.
2nd order of this blend and affirming that it's my favourite so far! Floral and fruitiness cuts through milk very nicely.

Su X.
Does a good everyday filter coffee!
Victor D.
Great coffee! Just avoid the singpost delivery, it takes forever.
daniel b.
Seemed like quality beans. The delivery was quite slow - 8 days from order to arrival. The roast was a bit overdone and coffee was slightly burned and too dry. Worth a second try though.
Colin L.
This was the biggest surprise I’ve had of all my orders from Cowpresso so far. Just amazing fruity and fragrant flavor that’s not too acidic and that (to us at least) beats more expensive beans we’ve bought from here and other roasties too. Highly recommend this!
