    Roasted Fresh!

    I love that this espresso style whole bean coffee is in the traditional style where it isn’t extremely oily. It’s what I think of as a medium roast. Absolutely wonderful crema when used for espresso- probably because this coffee is roasted to order.

    I waited a long time for an espresso this good. I’ve had nearly all the brands from Italy, Stateside—even had a local roaster mix batches to my specifications.Don’t get me wrong. There is a lot of worthy espresso beans on the market.

    Excellent and fresh beans, finally!

    I've been looking for an option on Amazon for beans that were roasted on/close to the shipping date and I'm glad I found Nicoletti roasters!
