Aiello Caffe Italian Espresso Coffee Beans 2.2 LB Bag, Medium Whole Bean Coffee Freshly Roasted and Blended in Southern Italy Sublime

Coffee comes relatively fast. Taste is great with smooth of and bitterness. This is not for everyone but those who understand difference between arabica and robusta will appreciate the mix and best parts of both

Ok

My husband and I typically gravitate towards dark or medium-dark roasts because we like the richer, bolder, slightly bitter flavor. However, we sometimes enjoy a good quality medium roast, especially when we have guests over. The Espresso Sublime is a medium roast - rich, smooth, and not at all bitter.We love grinding our own beans at home. In my opinion, you just can't beat that freshly ground taste. My husband likes nibbling on the coffee beans while grinding them and said they tasted good! Fresh tasting and not overly oily.The coffee tastes good on its own with no flavored creamers or other additives. That is the true test of a good cup of coffee!We prepared this using an inexpensive stovetop espresso maker and also in a traditional drip coffeemaker. Both turned out delicious! It also works great as an espresso shot in our regular coffee!

Very fresh and grinds really nicely in my DeLonghi La Specialista and makes the perfect Espressos. So difficult to find really European style coffee in the US. Even major brands like Lavazza and Illy optimize their product and roast for the mainstream American market - drip coffee! You can see on packages - they always show drip machines. This shows only an espresso machine and it delivers. Helps that it is reasonably priced too.

Item is great.

Makes a terrible espresso - absolutely nothing like a good Italian roast. Tried dosing 18-23 grams and got decent looking shots with good crema, but the flavor is just absent. It really does taste like the sort of coffee you'd get at a convenience store. The beans are poor quality with many broken shards and defects - usually a sign of poor quality sourcing. Between this, Kimbo and Lavazza, get anything but this. I've had great luck with Lavazza Gran Crema and Kimbo Espresso Napolitano.

Bog flavor, nice coffe aroma but not bitter. Definitely high quality beans

I've been drinking espresso for many years - most recently with my Gaggia Classic machine. I like a dark body coffee and this brand is perfect for me. It must be, since I've been ordering this brand and style for over a year now. This coffee produces a generous amount of beautiful crema; far more than the other brands I've tried in the past. Some say this means the coffee is fresher.
