    Delicious for coffee lover.

    I’ve been subscribed to the Café Bustelo Aluminum Espresso Capsules for several months now, and I couldn’t be happier with them. The dark roast coffee is rich, bold, and full of flavor, delivering a perfect intensity of 11.

    Bitter.

    I have to assume that this is good quality coffee, but it’s bitter. I like deep Rich smooth coffee and this is at the other end of that spectrum.
