Great coffee for espresso. Cannot comment on other methods of preparation. Full bodied coffee without unpleasant (overpowering) bitterness or acidity. Smooth taste. Will purchase again.

I use the beans in my JuraCapressa espresso machine to make espresso Americano. The beans feed well into the hopper/grinder whereas I had difficulty with the Royal Kona - had to shove them into the grinder (too oily?). This is a very tasty coffee with a nutty flavor and priced well.

I am am most definitely an average joe coffee drinker (not a connoisseur by any means), but I have thoroughly enjoyed this coffee every time I ordered it. I tried a bag of Starbucks similar blends and it was nothing compared to the San Marco blend. I would highly recommend this coffee to anyone!

This my favorite coffee blend from Sanmarco. Probably my favorite coffee period. I am never disappointed whenever I make a purchase. It always taste great. I am always amazed at their quality control. This is a winner.

This is excellent coffee with rich flavor. It is a medium roast but has no bitterness at all. This one has been one of our favorites and we will definitely get it again and again.

Very nice coffee, extremely smooth. Could be a bit darker roast, to be stronger.

[...]. Awesome roast, very fresh.Remove the cost of shipping and this 7 bean coffee exceeds any coffee I personally have purchased and drank any where in the world except roasting my own beans not long after they were picked in Kampala,Uganda.Will stay loyal if you continue to let me order by phone.Thank you sooo much!

This is a nice coffee, very smooth with no bitterness, I would buy it again, but I would have it dark roasted. I also must admit that it has grown on me. At first I was a tad disappointed, but that was my own fault for having medium roast, but it smoothness won me over. The quality of the beans is marvelous, and the aroma very pleasing. So far I am very impressed with this company, and look forward to trying many more of their coffees.

I have a Capresso grinder/brewer coffeemaker. Your beans are full-city roast (medium) and have a delicious aroma, both from the package and while being prepared. I was very disappointed in the lack of flavor, which is my fault, because it was advertised as low acidity; however, I was raised on Turkish coffee and need the acidity without the accompanying bitterness to give me the full-bodied taste I was hoping for. I just couldn't TASTE the coffee, even when I doubled the strength of the grind. When I blended some store-brand coffee with it, it improved somewhat. As a first-time buyer, I will definitely buy more in the future, but with a higher acidity--maybe with a dark roast. As with all beginners, it will just take some trial-and-error to find the right robustness of the coffee to suit my particular preferences.

We consider ourselves quite the ""coffee people"". Both of us look forward to our coffee and the associated aroma in the morning. This is just simply the best tasting coffee I have found. I go to all the ""specialty stores"" for better coffee but none come close to this blend!
