Gone for Lunch
Cup profile and tasting notes
Good body and a rich fruity base with some sweet nuttiness and almond (marzipan) - balanced out by a fruity acidity. Lovely rounded lush finish.

Perfect for ice latte in summer
I love this coffee and honestly don't buy anything else - preferring to grind my own beans fresh for every cup!
Our absolute favourite for a home-ground coffee. We only buy Gone For Lunch beans.
The best coffee! We buy every single month.
Excellent coffee. We had a cup of Gone to Lunch at the Downe farm shop café and bought a couple of bags on the back of that. My only minor gripe; it's cheaper to buy 4x250g bags at the farm shop than it it is to pay postage for a 1kg bag directly from Coffee Real...
Gone for Lunch, tried many coffees always come back to this one. Always favourable comments from visitors about the coffee. I will not change. Great service from the team and prompt deliveries.
Delicious smooth blend. I drink this everyday!
Fantastic coffee. Bought the beans and have been making espresso with my Cafelat Robot. 18g in, 10s pre-infusion, 36g out. Delicious and tasting notes all accurate and identifiable!
The 6am Blend is my go to coffee however, this is a decent little alternative. It's slightly smoother and not quite as demanding on the tastebuds but don't be fooled, this is a great coffee (although to be fair, most of the coffees from Coffee Real are).
Another order just arrived and liking the option of 1kg bags. 6am will always be my go to coffee but Gone for lunch is always a great alternative.
Very tasty coffee - easy to drink at all times of the day. Would definitely buy (and again)
I buy this coffee for my husband after he first sampled it at Holmwood Farm café, Chislehurst, Kent. He loves coffee, but has struggled to find one he really liked - until 'Gone for Lunch'. This is now the only coffee we buy - choosing the beans to grind fresh for each cup. We also treat our son, who is equally smitten!.
After trying many coffee beans from Coffee Real my husband and I both agree this is a smooth coffee good alrounder coffee . Never fails on quility . every cup is as good as the last .
We really like this coffee - first discovered it in a local cafe, enquired what it was, then started buying it directly. We use it for lattes - excellent.

Additional Information
Gone for Lunch is a twist on an old blend.
We’ve widened out the base El Salvador Finca La Arada 35% to give a little more body / richness to the blend, kept the Brazilian Brazil Fazenda Progresso at 35%, still bringing in some background nuttiness, moved the Colombia Sabanitas up by 5% to increase the bright/sharp sweetness. Nice rounded finish.
