    Best coffee we have ever drunk! (¡El mejor café que hemos tomado!)

    We can't remember at what age our family gave us the first small cup of espresso coffee ("Cuban coffee" is no more than that).

    Delicious

    Great and delicious every day coffee. Not acidic, smells amazing.

  • B. Hamlin Verified purchase ★★★★☆

    Great tasting and an excellent value...

    I really like this coffee...a lot (4.5 stars). This is an excellent bean that gives you a clean full flavor brew and brew. We are a french press household and this brand really stands out when it comes to this type of preparation.

    I was happily surprised that this is not cheap quality coffee.

    Edit- May 28, 2020After reviewing my Amazon Order history, I saw that this month is the 3 year anniversary from our first purchase of Don Pablo coffee beans. We have been enjoying the delicious medium-dark roast of their Signature Blend exclusively for three years now. The beans always arrive very fresh and aromatic.
