I make a double shot of espresso in a Rancillio Silvia machine and add steamed cream for my morning coffee. I grind the beans in a Rancillio Rocky grinder set to ""5"". After trying several beans I like San Marco best, it's delicious, has a subtle flavor, no bitterness, etc., [...] stays fresh and is priced reasonably (I buy it in two pound bags).

Thanks for 1 way CO2 exit valve bags - I order 4 lbs/mo now to save on shipping - the open one is stored under vacuum.

We have tried many different espressos. This is the best. We now only buy our espresso beans from San Marco Coffee. My husband is from Italy and knows how a good espresso should taste and look.

I compared this coffee with several other roasters like illy and Allegro and this is trully a well balanced roast. Rich aroma, flavor, and a sweet after taste. I make my coffee in a DeLonghi Gran Dama we have at the office and it makes the perfect espresso I've been looking for. Thank you

Overall this is a very good coffee. For some reason it doesn't agree with my palate. I normally drink Lavazza but decided to change to a locally roasted bean. Everyone that I have shared it with loves it. It has great aroma and produces a wonderful crema. Generally smooth but the finish does not work for me. I would still definitely recommend to friends.

Pleasantly surprising, lots of crema, very good espresso in a shot but also good in milk based drinks like a latte too.

Having experienced many different brands/varieties of espresso, I find this one to be as good as I've found. Even smoother than a lot of Italian brands.

The coffee is great! I use it with a stovetop Italian coffee maker. Of course, the ultimate experience comes from using a high pressure espresso coffee machine. But they require a lot of maintenance.
