Good service. Fast delivery

Decided to translate this from my review for the local version of the same brand (they operate in multiple countries with a similar name). A bit of misleading marketing The coffee itself has been decent when I’ve bought it, but I can’t shake the feeling that these are just nicely packaged, mid-range bulk beans sold under made-up “brands.” No one else sells these Caprisette beans except Coffee Friend and its various versions, like Kahvikaveri in Finland. It’s a pretty clever business model. The constant “50% off” or “2-for-1” offers make it clear that the real quality of the beans is far below the listed retail price. The final straw for me came when I received a marketing email promoting a new “barista-quality espresso machine.” I’d never even heard of the brand (Sorso), so I decided to look into it. Turns out, the same machine is sold on AliExpress and other Chinese marketplaces for a much lower price — and it’s marketed there specifically for private labeling: buy a few units, slap your own brand name on them. After some more digging, I found that Sorso is registered as an EU trademark owned by Coffee Friend Group, as of 2024. The very same coffee machine appears online under several other brand names — the original manufacturer seems to be Corrima. It might still be a decent machine, but it just feels fake when a shop that also sells Jura and De’Longhi tries to market Sorso — their own in-house brand — as a top-tier, barista-level espresso machine. I’ll be buying my coffee elsewhere from now on.
