Throughout its long history, the brand has disappeared from store shelves more than once, and then appeared again - reborn as an active market participant, like a Phoenix bird.
About the history of the brand
Dallmayr coffee production dates back to 1933. The history of the creation of the brand is associated with the name of Conrad Werner Wille, who at that time was considered a highly qualified specialist and coffee connoisseur. Conrad opened a coffee department in the famous Munich gourmet food house Dallmayr and took personal control of the entire production process of the popular drink. For 10 years, the company successfully presented its high-quality product on the market; post-war times turned out to be difficult. In the 60s of the last century, Dallmayr coffee was already produced at an independent coffee factory and enjoyed well-deserved recognition among coffee lovers in Bavaria.
Today, this brand is a full participant in the international market, a leading supplier of high-quality drink, appreciated by fans all over the world.
Features of production and taste
“Dallmeier” is coffee presented on the market in a wide range of both grain and ground types of drink. Connoisseurs have the opportunity to enjoy exquisite blends created from pure Arabica or its mixture with Robusta. According to numerous reviews, Dallmeier is a coffee whose aroma and taste change depending on the degree of roasting of the beans. Light roasting imparts a berry-fruit sourness to the drink, while medium roasting imparts a rich chocolate-nut flavor. Thanks to the dark roast, the drink is complemented by a noble bitterness, which is especially appropriate when preparing espresso or classic Americano.

Counterfeits on the Russian market
Unfortunately, many branded products, including food products, are often tried to be copied, counterfeited or passed off as original by different companies, which allows them to make money by deceiving naive people.
To avoid falling for scammers, you need to study the labels on the coffee packaging
For those who do not understand how to distinguish a fake from an original, this situation is very sad, because many companies that produce copies of well-known brands, firstly, do not care about their quality, and secondly, they can pass them off as an original product, selling a copy at the price of the original.
If a person has had a chance to try original and high-quality Dallmeier brand coffee, then it will be more difficult to deceive him, because he knows what the branded product tastes like.
How to distinguish an original product from a low-quality fake? Firstly, you need to pay attention to the packaging. This is the easiest option to calculate the copy. Many manufacturers change the product name, image, color, etc.
The taste of adulterated coffee is usually very far from the original
Secondly, you should pay attention to the aroma and taste of the prepared drink. Often, counterfeit products are made from products of worse quality than the original. Sometimes you can find in the aroma an admixture of some ingredients that should not be there, or even a strange smell that cannot come from expensive, high-quality coffee. Also, the taste may be too bitter or sour, or vice versa not expressed.
Thirdly, a fake can be detected even during preparation. If the coffee is brewed too poorly, does not emit a coffee aroma, and strange particles of something unknown float on its surface, then the buyer is definitely facing a fake.
