    Not the Freshest, but OK

    As someone who usually buys freshly roasted dark roasts, I went out on a limb and picked up this 2.2 lb bag of Kimbo Napoletana as a stop gap measure while I waited for my next shipment of fresh beans. As expected, the Kimbo beans were not freshly roasted.

    good though old

    This is a review of Kimbo's Espresso Napoletano dark roast whole bean coffee.Ordered this looking for a stronger espresso than what I had been having. The description of a Neapolitan flavor appealed to me, having lived in Naples years ago.
