Color:Medium Roast The Dream to Make the Best Coffee in the World, Since 1931-Scaffhauser was founded by Antonio Schaffhauser. Today it is led by the third generation of the family. Alain Schaffhauser as Chairman and Dieter Brandis as Managing Director. Antonio’s vision of making the world’s very finest coffee has never faded and continues to be our mission as we have never sacrificed our standards for commercial success. Coffee and the Five Senses Inside a beautiful cup of espresso are entire worlds of pleasure, just waiting for your every sense to discover. (Why should taste have all the fun?) Espresso ideally realized is a five-sensation proposition, each sense interacting with another to create a whole greater than the parts, triggering the intellect, the imagination and more. Smell The gateway to taste. Taste At around 65°C (149°F), the ideal temperature for tasting, an ideal espresso sports a deft, delicate balance of sweet, bitter and acidic. Take a tiny sip, and fullness takes center stage. Please hold the sugar, at least to start; let your palate experience espresso in pure form. Touch We literally feel food and drink on the tongue, making touch an important part of the culinary journey. Hearing The grinder’s whir, the tamper’s soft turn. The espresso machine’s exhale. The chime of cup on saucer, the spoon’s sweet, metallic ping. Sight You’ll know a good espresso at first glance. For the eyes, it’s all in the crema on top. Look for subtle texture in shades of brown, crossed by light reddish streaks – like the stripes of a tiger. If crema is too dark brown, has a white button or a black hole at the center, send it back. These are markers for overly long extraction time, too fine of a grind, or excessive temperature and pressure. Crema that is light and flimsy has mirror-image issues. For espresso, expect and accept nothing less than what is right. Schaffhausen, your senses will thank you.

Delicious smooth true Italian expresso coffee.
I consider myself a finiky coffee conesuier. JBL, Cuban Expresso shots and rich Italian are my favorites. Lately it’s been hard for me to find a really good genuine Italian exspresso that is not too smoky with nearly no hint of acid. But I tried this brand after reading the reviews. Reviews don’t always mean much with everyone having different taste. But this one was spot on awesome. I will be back for more. I even bought the truly economical size of 80 Kcups. That can to less than 50cents!

Hubby liked it, I didn't
I got this coffee as part of a product review program, though I did have to purchase it so definitely giving an honest review.Not sure what went wrong in the warehouse, but the packaging on this was completely destroyed and feebly taped back together, not giving me a very good first impression.I tend to like darker brews and actually use the strong option on my Keurig so I was hoping for a nice, robust cup of coffee. Maybe I don't know enough about Italian brews, but this was pretty weak to me, even on the strong setting. The cups themselves also appeared cheaply made; instead of a foil covering you see on most kcups it was plastic film covered by a thin foil layer that didn't always puncture correctly, causing coffee to spill out of the machine during brewing. I hate leaving negatives reviews, but I unfortunately will not be purchasing this brand again. My husband, however, seemed to love these, so maybe it's just me...I don't know.

This coffee is a rip-off!
Several of the k cup pods we're defective (see photo) also, the label on the pod is very generic not the brand I ordered. The coffee itself is weak and pretty tasteless, as each pod seems to have very little coffee inside. If I could give zero stars I would. Also unreturnable!

Definitely not intense and not at like the pictures
The box it came in was the same as the pics but the pods inside were entirely different. They came with a cartoonish generic label that says "italian roast" but nothing about who the manufacturer is. There's about 4 grains of coffee in each cup which makes the weakest cup of pod based coffee I have ever had. Is this a joke?

Deliciously full flavor
I was actually really surprised by the flavor of this coffee. I love dark roast, and I had never heard of this coffee before, so of course I was a little nervous. This did not disappoint! I LOVE it!

Not as shown; poor quality
The k cups are a cheap orange and purple generic looking packaging. Not at all like what is shown. Coffee floods out over the top of the cup.

Delicious and strong!
I like a bold coffee, and this one is perfect! Since I like to have my coffee without any frills, it needs to taste as good as this one does on it's own. Bold, nutty flavor and it fits into my older Keurig perfectly.
