Cafe La LlaveEspresso Dark Roast Coffee, 16 Ounce (Pack of 3)

Personally, I've been a fan of Cafe La Llave since I'd originally encountered the brand, in a local store. Albeit, I've moved around since then and now its not as accessible locally.I believe that this packaging available here is quite convenient, and it's also reasonably affordable. For daily coffee, I tend to reuse an earlier Cafe La Liave coffee can, with about one of these coffee bricks per week. This packaging limits the waste while the coffee is still available in some modestly convenient container.For personal taste, I've taken to mixing a couple spoonfulls of dark-roast auto-drip coffee on top of the Cafe La Llave in the coffee machine's coffee basket. I then compact the coffee down with the flat bottom of a seasoning shaker (Adobo, in fact) before adding water to the coffee machine then brewing the coffee.The blending with the auto-drip coffee may certainly be a matter of personal taste. Perhaps it's not all so much like espresso in a traditional sense. I believe that in compacting the mix down before brewing, it helps towards developing a more Espresso-like texture in the coffee, even when brewed in an auto-drop coffee machine.Though I've not had a personal espresso machine for some years, I remember that Cafe La Llave had worked out really well for espresso. This was with a sub-hundred-dollar Espresso machine from a local retail store, nothing really ostentatiousIt's a great blend of coffee, certainly versatile across brewing methods.

I took a chance on this because of other positive reviews. I am a coffee "snob" in the sense that the only worthy commercial coffee place I have visited was the Belgian Chocolate Shop in downtown Philadelphia years ago which served top-end Segafredo espresso.That was the best, but I still enjoy really good Italian espresso. Still. I am willing to try others.First, it was a shock to get a brick of espresso that is a full pound! I haven't seen one in decades.I do like dark roast coffees, and lean toward arabica beans. But Cafe La Llave Espresso made from robusto beans surprised me. The flavor is different, but I enjoy it. It is a more full flavor. Not as smooth as a fine italian espresso, but not harsh or bitter. It has a character I like with flavor notes other coffees I've had lack. It's bold without being unrefined.So, I'm glad to have this as another coffee option in my home. And the quality for price is impressive!

This is hands down, the best value for great-tasting espresso that you can find anywhere! It's sealed great, the grounds are fresh and actually ground to a perfect espresso consistency/grind and the real kicker is that it produces one of the best cups out my espresso machine of any grounds I've tried! The crema is substantial and the aroma and taste off of it compare with anything I've had in my travels around the world. Don't feel that this "has" to be made Cuban style on the stove; Sure there will be purists who swear by going the Cuban method, but honestly, straight-up and pure with no sugar, no cream, the true flavor shines through and this performs exceptionally well through my Chefman machine.

Love this!

Son and wife drink no other coffee. When you have the best why use another?

Oftentimes as we age, we can't have caffeine and it's very difficult to give up our beloved coffee. This fabulous decaffeinated coffee coffee is dark, rich and extremely flavorful. Drink it any time of day. Starbucks can't hold a candle to this coffee! Great with espresso machines and French Press.

Coffee snobs avoid canned coffees like the plague. That makes me happy because, more Cafe La Llavefor me! I used to drink very expensive brands, until i tasted this coffee. It's outstanding! Rich flavor,very fresh, a dark aromatic roast. I make it in my Melita drip, and drink as regular coffee. I have neverused it to make Espresso, although i can only imagine how wonderful that would be too!

I love the coffee, but I can't seem to be able to cancell my automatic delivery!

Recomiendo sus productos al 100% ya que son muy profesionales y seguros si algo sucede, de verdad es la mejor empresa que me Ha dado el mejor servicio de posventa en una plataforma digital como Amazon.

It’s drip coffee for me, with 2.5 scoops for a 200ml mug & 2.5 tsp raw sugar and it tastes great. No bitterness, no acidity detected. Others may have a different experience, I know. To me, good value for the price paid.

I've finally found a replacement for the bold Brazilian coffee I used to get, also in green packaging, from Carrefour. La Llave packs exactly the punch I want and need in my morning brew. I use a Bialetti mocha, and the grind is optimal. The value is amazing. This is replacing Illy, which comes in beautiful tins but costs around 6 times as much for no extra taste I can discern.

Good coffee for a good price

Bought together with few other coffee grounds and have not tried yet. Hope what is said is what it should taste
