Best Deal on Espresso on Amazon
First, what a deal this Espresso brick is! The vacuum is strong on the brick so be careful when opening, you won’t want to spill one bit of this beautiful Latin-style (Cuban) Espresso. This is quality, very perfectly ground espresso. When you open the brick, the very fresh and intense aroma just hits your nose and it is a beautiful thing! When I opened the brick, my daughter just came in the door and said “Oh my that coffee smells good!” I had not even started my brew yet!The flavor profile is deep, bold, dark and slightly chocolate and smoky to my own palate. It brews up so nice and the grounds are absolutely perfectly ground. I have made this in my espresso maker and a drip coffee maker. Always delicious. I also noticed I do not taste any acidic notes and after I drink neither does my body feel any acid. This coffee doesn’t have any bitter notes either.This is absolutely smooth and delicious as a latte or cappucino and even tastes great iced as a summer morning pick me up.Served straight up double espresso black, I’m rewarded with what I love about this coffee…budget friendly delicious Espresso that tastes more expensive! I’ve had Espresso around the world. This is a really delicious brand. Don’t hesitate to purchase it!

A LOT OF REALLY GOOD ESPRESSO BEANS
La Llave (The Key) was founded in Cuba in 1870. Its parent company is minority- and family-owned and operated, not a conglomerate branch. It only does coffee, and it’s located in California, where it roasts the beans.La Llave is great Cuban-style espresso, which means it’s strong, rich and slightly sweet, not smoky. Judging by the sizes and colors of the beans, they are a complex blend. They can be ground quite fine without producing the sticky residue of an oily black roast that clogs up grinders and espresso filter baskets. If you like the smoky edge, blend in some shiny black French roast beans and find your balance.La Llave in brick form is quite dark and ground perfectly for a home espresso machine, and the wrapper with a chip clip makes a fine container. I haven’t tried the grind that comes in a can or the aluminum pods.

Great taste for a great price
I got this coffee to try with my moka pot because my usual brand (Illy Classico moka grind) is not available in stores in my area and it’s fairly pricey even though it does taste great. I wasn’t sure what to expect but when I brewed the first pot I was pleasantly surprised to find an amazing flavor that is very similar to, if not better than Illy Classico.The package was vacuum bricked like I remember all the good coffee in the 80s/90s being before they went to the plastic jugs (Folgers). The vacuum was tight and kept the contents very fresh giving off the hiss of air rushing into the bag when first opened.The fact this comes in a vacuumed foil lined packaging that takes up less space in the garbage and doesn’t cause awkward piling until a dump run is made is a huge plus for me because I truly dislike oversized packaging that takes up far more space than needed and as much as I love the metal cans that illy comes in i only need so many and can only do so much with the cans to reuse or up cycle them.I will definitely be ordering this again when I need to get more and I do believe I found a coffee that I will continue to use for years to come. I will obviously use others as well but this will always be in my pantry from now on because I like to be pretentious and this coffee fits that bill nicely.

Tastes Good and Not Overpriced
I ordered this when my Cafe Bustello went up to $52. Tastes good and is nice and rich. I will be ordering more as this is my new goto espresso.

Tasty!
For me, this tastes great. Have put it on subscription — it is rather full bodied, more like (possibly not precisely) like espresso, since I make it like campfire coffee. It is. strong, and I don’t use it full strength. My four star is only because I didn’t/don’t know from where it comes. Perhaps I missed that? Lovely way to start the day,, and excellent price.
