    Perfect for Strong CoffeeConassuer

    We search for dark roast beans to use in our espresso but find many are just not dark enough. When I found this we found it dark, strong and not too bitter, truly matching the business claim. Coffee flavor doesn’t get lost in the milk in a cappuccino.

    So good! Perfect for espresso and lattes

    This has to be my favorite best coffee for making espresso, i’ve only had one bad batch a long time ago, but every one so far has been awesome! The beans are shiny and vacuum sealed fresh, even after sitting on a shelf for a month. I used to like major Dickinson‘s blend, but I don’t think I will ever go back.
