So impressed with these beans! Reasonably priced and tasty! I have my new favorite. I use these at home now and will use them in a custom blend for a catering event!

Affordable, quality whole bean espresso with a classic flavor. It's a blend, but the flavor profile is somewhere between medium and dark. It offers a classic flavor well suited for milk drinks but also holds up well to plain shots and Americanos. If you're looking for a whole bean that does primarily milk drinks then this is worth trying. Our grind setting for this bean ended up needing to be coarser than some of our other beans. Also, worth noting, there were lots of fragmented beans in the bag but that wasn't a problem in our situation.

It's very delicious and has a nice crema, so it's perfect for serving as a latte. I recommend it for both hot and iced lattes.

For $ you can get better quality coffee. Bought this coffee since it tasted okay and was affordable, obviously it's not great coffee. The biggest reason I won't be buying this any more is due to the fact it's price went from $ to $ in less than 1 month of me reordering.

We use this product in our espresso machine at our church. Our congregation really enjoys the flavor and aroma of the beans. However, the strength of the espresso blend isn't the best. Truthfully, we prefer a name brand at this point to this blend.

It’s pretty mediocre for espresso. It’s more like light tasting coffee. This would only get a 4/10.

This is my go to espresso served at my coffee shop, it’s cheap, produces a lot of crema, and it has a nice smooth flavor. It doesn’t taste harsh or bitter as some espressos do.

I have always bought the whole bean espresso and gave this one a try. I think I like the whole been better because you grind when you need it that way its fresh. this type is good if you're using it for the coffee pot not the espresso machine.

While it’s not the best cup of coffee I’ve ever had, it’s still pretty good. It has a bold flavor and for the price it’s good to use with a nice flavored creamer.

It’s ok. The espresso doesn’t brew very creamy like others. The taste is pretty bland and isn’t unique like I was hoping. I’ll be trying a different distributor. It is priced well though.

This coffee has a nice flavor and freshness. I tend to like medium roast better than dark but this dark roast is good. I tried it in a french press and liked it better in an espresso machine.

I was excited about this espresso since it has so many good reviews , as soon as we got it at the shop I had to try it , to my surprise I was very disappointed, I did not like the taste I actually got a headache, it does give you crema but for someone that drinks Macchiatos everyday multiple times a day this won't work its too bitter, too acidic and I could not serve this espresso to my customers.

This is fine espresso and at a good price. I think the grind quality is fine and works well with my aeropress. I keep it in the freezer so it lasts longer.

I bought a case of these as a backup incase the grinder goes down. If you ever had the grinder go down you know how much just a days worth of pre ground espresso can make a diffrence. It could also save alot of time if you wanted to get away from grinding every shot.

Velvetty smooth, rich, slightly nutty tones. Heavy-bodied with the right amount of acidity. I found the price to be extremely fair. It is indeed a great price for the money.
