Caffe Borbone Espresso Beans - Whole Bean ITALIAN Coffee (Miscela Blu, 2.2 lbs)

This coffee tastes so good! My in laws bought some and I tried it. I bought some on the spot.

The Borbone Espresso beans are top quality. I use them mostly as half/half with my morning pot; they add power and flavor to drip coffee. The beans have a balanced, rounded taste without bitterness and a nice lingering feel.Well worth the money.

Tasty fresh affordable. Something different than the more notable go-to brands.

I’ll start by writing that I drink espresso only. I’ll make an occasional cappuccino. I mainly buy Lavazza brand espresso whole bean and I prefer 100% Arabica. This is mixture of Arabica and Robusta beans which I knew before purchasing, however, it is mainly Robusta. Dark roasted and very oily. It does produce a thick crema and does better in mixed espresso drinks as opposed to straight espresso. You can taste the dark roast and there is no acidic taste at all. Just deep, dark chocolate notes. I like lighter roasted non oily bean espresso so this isn’t for me, but if you like dark roast oily beans for mixed espresso drinks, then give it a try.

Got this for a friend and he couldn't be happier! We shared a cup of coffee with his new espresso machine and it was delish! I am getting the nespresso compatible capsules for myself, I hope it's the same.

The roast is like Starbucks. The beans were oily and seemed burnt. This is undrinkable as an americano but could be used as an espresso if you make a moka. I was able to blend the beans it with another local roasted bean and make it acceptable. Lavazza espresso actually blows this away and that is just a good above average espresso bean.

Have used mainly Lavazza, Mauro and Kimbo in the past. Gave this one a try and I have found it to be a fairly decent coffe.I lowered extraction temperature to 185F and pressure to 8.5 bar and I am enjoying it.

For someone who doesn't write reviews, you should read this. After trying about 10 different machines both super and semi automatic and about 30 different types of espresso beans from Lavazza, Kimbo, etc and even with all the many factors with grind size, age of beans etc. This bag of beans comes great every time no matter the setting, grind amount, etc.I use these beans in my Breville Barista Express which is a semi automatic and comes and makes great rich creama, thick espresso and great flavor. I highly recommend this for anyone who is looking for hassle free beans. I am definitely adding this to my bi-weekly purchases and enjoy my espresso every night after dinner.Hope this helps!
