I got it for use with PC and Android mobile. I have problems with both.
1. On PC (Windows 10), the Bluetooth connection is a tough issue and unfortunately, it doesn't work properly. Even when it recognizes it and "works" as a controller, some buttons are stuck or drift. With a cable, it works just fine, but I was supposed to get it for wireless use.
2. On Android mobile, if you have an old Android, it doesn't recognize it. The newer the Android version, the better it cooperates. On Android smart TV, no matter what I did, it couldn't find it.
3. I also haven't seen the touchpad work anywhere I connected it.
Overall, I regret buying it as I continue to use my old controller because that one doesn't confuse me. Since I didn't have the right to return it once I opened the package, I feel like I wasted 30€...

A collection of 24 different tea bags (mostly blends of herbs and spices) in a festive paper packaging. It's very beautiful and quite a clever and cute idea for a gift (and for personal use) but it has two serious issues that for me take away one star in the rating.
1. It is supposed to be tea but unfortunately only 5 of the bags contain tea (black, green, white, matcha (2%!!) and rooibos) and these in relatively moderate percentages. The rest are blends of herbs and spices, etc. I expected and hoped to drink tea with flavors and not just herbs. I was a bit disappointed.
2. If you really like ginger in your drinks then great, you will like these. However, if you are not a fan then know that most of them contain ginger, and some have a lot! It tired me out anyway. I expected to drink tea and was drinking ginger drinks almost every day.

I hesitated for several days before deciding to write this review because I don't want to be negative without being sure of what I want to say. Before I begin, let me say that I have been passionately drinking espresso for a decade, I have tried most of the coffees roasted in Greece and available through Scroutz (and others). The coffees are tested in both fully automatic and semi-automatic setups of great value, with attention to technique, precise weighing every time, temperature measurement, etc.

So, 3 stars for the coffee, why? Not because the coffee is necessarily bad, on the contrary, I feel that there is a very sweet, aromatic, and flavorful coffee in there. The problem is that when you pay almost €40/kg for a coffee that is roasted and packaged in Greece, you expect it to be fresh! And when I say fresh, I mean having it in my hands 2-4 weeks after roasting at most. The coffee I received was 6 months old. Yes, it's not stale, but it's not fresh either. Half of the coffee's flavor has been lost over the months in the bag, the crema comes out reluctantly, and it undermines your belief in dialing in when you try to do so. Sorry, but at €36/kg, this is unacceptable! I can accept it at €15-20, but not when I'm paying so much supposedly for fresh and selected coffee. With €30-35/kg, I can easily find coffees of similar quality on Scroutz with a roasting date within the week of shipment!!!

Now, is this Kawacom's fault? Is the coffee to blame and it's just "having a bad day"? Not necessarily because unfortunately, due to abstraction, I didn't order from them directly but from another shop that provides them here. But I judge what I received and what you might also be about to receive.

Very good Brazilian espresso! The roasting was a few days old (less than a week) and the packaging was airtight with a good seal. The roasting was excellent for this type of coffee, resulting in easy and simple extraction, even with a finer grind, while still producing the right flavors in the final espresso. Good mix of chocolate aroma and taste with hints of dried fruits. It also had a floral acidity, although I couldn't distinguish it (and I ran out of the bag a few days ago). As a single origin coffee, it is expected that some may find it lacking in depth and there may be some taste gaps when compared to rich blends, but for what it is, it is definitely exceptional. I mixed it with the company's other coffee (Whiplash) and they paired very nicely together.

Incredible and unique coffee! First of all, I would like to note that the roasting was a few days ago (less than a week) and the packaging is airtight with a good seal. Well done! Now, about the coffee and its taste, it may sound a bit strange but it has a very distinct flavor. Its aroma sometimes reminds me of the smell that fruits have when they overripe, but without being bothersome. At first, it has a strong, sweet acidity in both taste and aroma (not related to the intense, pure acidity of citrus fruits, for example). If it sits for a few minutes and cools slightly, then the full flavor of caramel comes out, very intensely. It is a very sweet coffee, naturally, even my wife who drinks sweet cappuccinos from outside, enjoyed this espresso on its own! I believe it is a unique and very special combination of Brazilian and Ethiopian coffee that I had not encountered until now. Personally, I loved it and will definitely buy it again.

Very good coffee. The roasting was a few days old (less than a week) and the packaging is airtight with a good seal. The taste is very balanced, although due to the percentage of Colombian coffee, it may have a slight bitterness if not brewed properly. With the right preparation, it brings out tones of chocolate in aroma and flavor. I generally prefer it in the morning when I want something stronger, while in the afternoon I usually drink the other blend (Whiplash) made by Round Cup.

I bought coffee from Mel for the first time and I got three different ones (Guatemala, Ethiopia, and the Blend). The first one I tried and just finished was the Guatemala and I was amazed. It is, for me, the best Guatemalan coffee I have ever tasted. It seems to be a medium/medium+ roast. Sweet and mild aroma, with a floral note. Acidic and very sweet taste, but with a soft fruit acidity and not the harsh one that is characteristic of light roasts or bad fast extraction. It also has flavors of dried fruits and gives a small pleasant sensation that I can only describe as damp forest soil (!!!). Don't expect to find flavors of dark chocolate, tobacco, etc. No bitterness in the taste, to the point that it can still be mixed even with a little Colombian coffee to make it more bitter if you want to put it in a cappuccino (I don't drink milk-based coffees, don't ask me, I don't know).
For me, the coffee is excellent and worth trying if you like slightly acidic and sweet coffees with fruity flavors. I can't wait to try the other two that I have bought.
[Used with Sage Barrista Pro with single-dose weighing with precision in decimals, WDT, careful tamping, filtered water. Extraction at 93-94C, 18.7 grams and 1:3 ratio.]

A simple desktop clock with a clear, bright display and large numbers. It only operates on batteries (2 AA). The screen light turns on for 5'' when you press the button on top. During the day, it is not necessary because the numbers are easily distinguishable on the screen. The alarm is very loud, and I don't think I will use it because I prefer to wake up calmly and slowly with my mobile phone alarm. The setup instructions may initially seem complicated, but they are ultimately very simple, and I will answer any questions here if needed or possibly update the review later with more detailed instructions. For under 10€, it is worth the money for a simple clock-alarm-thermometer.

I was amazed by the coffee. Perhaps one of the best I have ever bought. Very fresh, roasted 2 weeks ago, with easy extraction. The taste is ideal for my personal taste. As soon as it cools slightly, it releases intense sweetness and buttery chocolate. I believe that it is worth every penny and more, and I will definitely buy it again 100%!

I really liked this particular coffee. It's not as light roast as it claims, it seems more towards medium roast but that works well for grinding and brewing. Overall, it's easy to extract, forgiving of small mistakes and variations. It has a very balanced flavor and is quite easy to drink. Additionally, I discovered that it complements other coffees perfectly when they are difficult or extreme (e.g., in acidity/bitterness/intensity) in taste. Overall, it's a very safe and enjoyable choice and I will make sure to have it in my pantry frequently.
