I buy this coffee for years, earlier in neighboring Luxembourg, today online here at Amazon. For me, this coffee has the best value for money, does not taste too strict and not too mild in the "Regular" version and can with pads by Melitta, Jacobs, etc. keep up easily. 1 star deduction there yet from me. On the packaging (big bag) is found no expiration date, just an indication that you should to see on the bags to the Einzelpad. Actual durability you learn ie after opening the package. Basically, you buy in this regard the "pig in a poke" and even the merchant has no control over. But this is only theory, because the embossed in the edge of the sachet date is not readable as a rule. This should be urgently improved.
