“Not at all what I expected, I got it at a discount, the price was absolutely ridiculous, for 250 grams - 100 rubles... The ground coffee is quite pale, not bright, the smell is not too noticeable, it’s ok with milk and sugar, but I expected more.” — Olga (about Lebo “Extra” coffee)
“I don’t consider myself a coffee lover and I usually don’t care what I drink, but I unexpectedly liked Lebo coffee quite well, especially since it’s easy to prepare. I took instant, it’s no different from analogues, and the price is lower. So I’ll definitely take more.” — Mikhail (about “Classic” coffee)
