Perfect for authentic Cuban cafecito
I purchased the Café La Llave Espresso Ground Coffee, and it instantly reminded me of authentic Cuban coffee. It has a dark roast with a rich aroma that fills the kitchen the moment you open the can. The flavor is bold, strong, and truly captures the essence of Cuban espresso—slightly bitter, full-bodied, with a deep aromatic finish. It’s perfect for brewing in a moka pot or espresso machine, and when prepared with sugar it creates that signature cafecito foam loved in Cuban culture. I tried it in both traditional brewing and short espresso shots, and it kept its intensity in both cases. This is the kind of coffee that wakes you up and pairs perfectly after meals. 🔹 Pros: Authentic Cuban-style flavor. Strong, rich aroma. Consistent dark roast. Great value for the quality. 🔸 Cons: Very strong flavor, not ideal for those who prefer milder coffees. The can is practical but could use a resealable airtight lid. Overall, Café La Llave is the perfect choice if you’re looking for a true Cuban coffee: bold, aromatic, and intense—just like home.

Niceee!
Café La Llave has quickly become one of my favorite coffees. It has a bold, rich flavor with a smooth finish that makes every cup truly enjoyable. The aroma is strong and inviting, and it fills the kitchen the moment you start brewing. What I love most is its authentic espresso-style taste—it’s strong without being bitter, and it pairs perfectly with milk for a creamy café con leche. It’s also very affordable for the quality you get, which makes it a great value. If you enjoy a full-bodied, traditional Latin-style coffee, Café La Llave is an excellent choice. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a strong, flavorful start to their day.

Best Coffee ever
This is truly the best coffee I’ve ever had — rich, smooth, and full of flavor. It works perfectly with my Breville Barista machine and makes a delicious espresso every single time. The aroma fills the kitchen, and every cup tastes like a real Cuban café. I’ve tried many brands, but nothing compares to Café La Llave. Highly recommended for anyone who loves strong, authentic coffee!

Bold, Smooth, and Full of Flavor – A True Espresso Lover’s Dream
Cafe La Llave is hands down one of the best dark roast espresso blends I’ve tried. The beans are fresh, aromatic, and deliver a rich, full-bodied flavor with a smooth finish. Perfect for making Cuban-style cafecito or straight espresso shots. No bitterness, just deep, bold coffee goodness. The 2-pack is a great value, especially if you go through coffee quickly like I do. Highly recommend for anyone who loves strong, authentic espresso!

Bold yet smooth espresso and not overly expensive
I could be called a coffee snob, or just someone who grew up drinking coffee. My wife and I started drinking more espresso about 25 years ago and we're dropping a lot of $$ at expensive coffee shops till we took the plunge and bought our own espresso makers and grind our own beans. These beans are by far one of the best you will find at the price point they offer. They have a robust flavor you get from a darker roast without the burnt overtones and acidity you can get from some. So a bold yet smooth taste that does not sacrifice what most want out of their cup of espresso. Out of the 12 or so brands I have tried these are now my favorite and bonus...they are not the most expensive.

Good espresso
I have been using Illy Intenso Ground Espresso Coffee, Bold Roast for a while now, and I wanted to try something new. 1st and 2nd impression are good; I like this one. Not sure how to describe the taste though.
