Don Pablo Classic Italian Espresso - Dark Roast Gourmet Coffee, 100% Arabica Whole Bean, Low Acidity, Non-GMO, 907g (2LB)

Bought some more as I really like it. A strong flavoured coffee but not too bitter.

I use it bean to cup machine and get excellent results each time. Really like this.

Of all the bean bags I have opened these have to have been the most amazing. The smell was incredible. I had my head in the bag as I couldn't get enough. These are a very high quality bean. I've used them finely ground and coarse as I found them very strong. They make a great espresso but as a latte lover I found it was too intense. The house smelt like a coffee shop which everyone loved. I'm new to bean to cup so I'm trying to give a fair and accurate description.

i love the flavour to this beans it does good cream and have excelent fresh taste!!

Great value and great tasting coffee

I like strong coffee, but i couldn't get on with this coffee, it just wasn't for me. It had a smokey flavour to it which overpowered everything, it wasn't very interesting in flavours. Im not saying it is a bad coffee, it just wasn't for me.

Nice coffee I like it

Good

This is so good! Bold taste, great color, and the resealable bag keeps it fresh. Don Pablo make quality coffee.

I used a stovetop espresso maker... 10 cups and brew my morning coffee that way. This is one brand I buy consistently and is top value on all counts...flavor.. speed of delivery ... freshness etc.I continue to buy.

I am a coffee afficianado, not a coffee snob. I made my espresso using a Gaggia Velasca and distilled water. When I make comparisons, they are to Starbucks Cafe Verona.To begin with, this coffee is about half the price per pound of other coffees, in case you missed it. It tastes best with a 80% smaller puck than that needed for the Starbucks above, which makes it even cheaper. I would also recommend about a 10% coarser grind.For milk based drinks, there are no shortcomings at all. The coffee taste comes through, and there are no unpleasant undertones or finish problemsFor straight espresso, it makes more crema than the Starbucks, but not as much as you'd expect with a professional level machine. There is just a hint of the sourness that I associate with robusta beans or a light roast, but barely appreciable, not nearly enough to reject it. I find it to have a subtle, pleasant, hazelnut or almond finish.I will definitely be ordering a subscription!

Love this espresso. Works great in my espresso machine without any issues. Very smooth and full flavor. Have tried several others on Amazon and this is the best one. Excellent!

Have bean looking for a darker more robust alternative to Super Crema.Took a chance on this Don Pablo Italian espresso bean to use in my super automatic Gaggia Brera. In the reviews some say it is an oily bean and oily beans don't work well in super autos, they gum up the grinder process. These beans did not gum up my machine although they are shiney beans with a little oil, so there is that chance they might but I used the whole 2.2 pound bag with no problem.Freshness?? Who knows. The bag arrived blown up like a balloon but some people say that that is a sign of freshly roasted beans and they are off gasing because of it. The date was within the "freshness" time limit. The bag does have a oneway valve on it and a ziplock opening built in. The beans had good aroma when opened.Taste was on the dark side with a little bitterness that paired well with drinks using milk products. It has a slightly darker more robust taste than Lavazza Super Crema with a fair amount of crema. Not an espresso expert and I don't drink espresso straight.Still looking for my go-to espresso bean and may come back to this one some day do to cost/flavor ratio.
