Harrods Brompton Blend coffee.

This is another of Harrods' ground coffee's, made with Indonesian, Costa Rican, Colombian and Indian coffees and is the more "unusual" tasting coffee.  The blurb on the tin says it gives a brown sugar taste with a hint of spice....... it reminds me of a similar taste to the Muscovado brown sugar, possibly in the black treacle-y taste group.  If you don't particularly like Muscovado sugar/black treacle, this may not be your coffee!!!  The blurb on the tin also says it has a lingering aftertaste too, which I'd agree with.  It's not a horrid coffee, but I wouldn't make it every day either - I think it's more of an acquired taste, once in a while coffee.
It costs £12.95 per 250g tin and can be ordered online here Brompton blend

Harrods Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate drink.

This is, so far, my favourite hot chocolate drink.  This comes in a very smart metallic blue tin and contains 200g of hot chocolate powder.  The instructions on the back say to use 4 heaped teaspoons, but you can get away with using one heaped teaspoon of powder and still have a very flavoursome hot chocolate drink.  As with the other Harrods hot chocolates, this is priced at £9.95 per tin and is no longer available online or in store due to rebranding (As of March 2017)

However, they do have a Sea salted Caramel hot chocolate, 300g, in a copper tin priced at £12 available online HERE and also in store

Harrods Founders Choice coffee



This coffee is so far my favourite of the Harrods coffees!  It comes in a shiny brown 250g tin similar to their Hazelnut chocolate tin - possible logic to that too, as this coffee has a very smooth chocolatey type flavour.  The info on the back of the tin says it has a nutty chocolate flavour although the nutty side is not blatantly obvious!  This coffee uses a Costa Rican and Kenyan mix, and is VERY yummy!
It can be purchased online from the Harrods website for £12.95 a tin here Founders Choice

Harrods Knightsbridge blend coffee

This is the first out of four Harrods coffee that I've tried - coming in similar tins to the hot chocolate range but a slightly larger 250g metallic tin.  It's a medium roast 100% pure arabica coffee from Ethopia and Columbia.  It has a slight "juicy fruity" taste to it - not nasty, but not the blatant strong "coffee caffeine" taste that you can get with regular supermarket brands.  I'd describe this as a "light" coffee - not strong but very smooth and enjoyable.  It's priced at £12.95 a tin and available by mail order from the Harrods website here Knightsbridge blend
