The Coffee Score review

We offer an unsurpassed fresh roasted coffee experience for the best taste in the cup. Fresh roasted coffee has a beautiful, delightful taste that must be tasted to be fully explained. Our team spent hands-on time with the Smokin Beans 2-Pound Crema Queen Espresso Coffee to see how it holds up against the rest of the coffee beans we've tested.

Across repeated sessions we evaluated it on the categories that matter most: quality, consistency, value, and how likely we are to reach for it again. Ranked #18 of our top 200 coffee beans — an outstanding dark pick with chocolate, cherry, cinnamon notes, earning a 4.8★ average across 103 Amazon ratings.

We offer an unsurpassed fresh roasted coffee experience for the best taste in the cup. Fresh roasted coffee has a beautiful, delightful taste that must be tasted to be fully explained. This is because the natural coffee bean aromatics are more “alive” and bursting with flavor especially during the first 2-3 weeks after roasting. As time goes by these aromatics diminish and you are left with the usual “coffee” taste that we are all accustomed to with most pre-roasted “supermarket style” coffee.

    Legit company, legit coffee!!! Great Taste!!!!

    Wow!!!! This company is the best!!!! Received my coffee last week and the bag was open I spoke with them to let them know what happened when their package arrived. I sent pictures with no hesitation they had told me we will be sending you out another bag and two days later, the bag is in my hand, perfect!

    Best beans for home delivery!

    These are the best beans I have been able to find for home delivery! They arrived, roast dated at the beginning of the crema window, perfectly roasted and uniform beans. I love the medium roast blown through a high end espresso pot which preserves the full bodied flavor! Highly reccomend!

    Truly fresh roasted and produces delicious espresso!

    What a wild and silly world where we can buy fresh roasted coffee on Amazon. This stuff is fantastic and pulls an excellent shot out of our breville. We usually wait two weeks after receiving to start brewing but it’s fabulous! We were gifted a sample set because we raved about these beans.
