Boaters Flavoured Coffee

Hi
This is the first time that I have started a thread, so here goes...!

A couple of months ago I e-mailed Boaters Coffee on the off chance and explained to them how much I liked their flavoured coffee and that I had only tried the 'irish cream flavour' but would like to try new flavours and asked for samples.

I didn't get an e-mail reply, but this week I received an envelope with 10 sachet samples covering 3 different flavours (vanilla, hazelnut and irish cream). It's really nice coffee which I haven't found in my local supermarkets.

Worth a shot! Try e-mailing [EMAIL=sales@boaters.co.uk]sales@boaters.co.uk[/EMAIL] with your request.

Hope this is useful for you too.

    I'll give it a try and let you know if I receive anything.

    I've managed to start threads with new competitions, but have yet to find a freebie that hasn't already been posted. Well done you, and I guess I'll just have to look harder!

    Don't Julian Graves sell that coffee. Link here can also order on as well. P+P depends on the weight of what you buy.

    Thanks Calley, that's great news.

    When I've worked out which of my free samples I like best I'll pop into Julian Graves (have never been in there before, but know there is one nearby...presumably they will stock 'instant coffee').

    Should have mentioned before, they send you 'instant coffee samples.

    Last time I bought Boaters it was at the Good Food Show and it was a fab stand.

    Cheers

    All the ones that I have been in to have a small stock of instant coffee. I am sure a jar is about £2 ish. They sound really nice like irish cream flavour.

    But suspect that I could not stomach the flavours myself.

    Glad that I could help.

    Yours

    It's always worth speculatively writing to your favourite companies telling them how much you like some of their products and asking for samples. The worst case scenario is that they say no.

    Are you sending your request direct from your e-mail account?

    I sent mine from 'hotmail' and not a web form on the site.

    We had a Boaters store in Hastings, but it's now closed. :(
    My favourite flavour is Hazelnut and cinnamon.
