KIMBOEspresso Barista 100% Arabica | Whole Bean Coffee | Medium Roast | 9/13 Intensity | Naturally Sweet Flavor, With Cytrus and Honey Notes | 2.2 Lbs Bag

I love this coffee. It's so good and smooth

Fantastic. Perfect for my morning double espressos/ americanos. I use the breville grinder and breville bambino 10/10

This is the best coffee i have ever had.It's bold and non acidic taste.

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. It is also one of the few dark roast coffees available in whole beans.The package arrived in a padded envelope, which was just sufficient protection. It came in 2 days. Though ordered in April 2023, the beans are labeled "production 29/09/21." That's a two year-old harvest. It is not clear when they were roasted. It also reads "Expiry 29/09/23." Personally, I would not expect coffee to last two years.I have brewed a few cups now with my Lelit PL41 machine. I make espresso, cafe cortado, and cappuccino. I find the coffee to be quite nice overall. The flavor is robust with a pleasant, lingering mild bitterness, and stands up nicely to the milk additions. It does have the true, Neapolitan richness. I can only wonder how much better it would be if it were fresh. I will order again and if I ever get a fresh batch may well upgrade my review and give it the fifth star.

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. Instead, the bag indicated they were roasted on August 23, 2023 and shipped to me around a year later. The “best by” date was August 22, 2025. So we’re dealing with beans that are a year old.Despite this, I don’t think they taste bad at all. The smell of the beans is not pleasant to me, but once they are brewed in my espresso machine, they taste like a traditional Italian roast with a good amount of robusta and produce a good amount of crema. The taste is also smooth with just a hint of bitterness. I was able to get the espresso to taste sweet with the correct brewing conditions.

Love kimbo when it's freshly brewed, but this last batch was awful. Could be stale because it was shipped without proper vacuum seal? Unfortunately, product can not be returned for any reason. My last purchase was perfect and sealed correctly. Buyer beware.

I don’t drink coffee. I buy this for my husband who lives it

Every variety is wonderful! You cannot go wrong
