    Pleasantly surprised with this blend!

    Excellent. Solid in a fully manual ECM espresso machine with flow control. Used a Mazzer grinder fairly fine grind. Taste was surprisingly good. I was concerned about some reviews talking about freshness related issues (a chronic issue with European coffees on Amazon).
