Bold coffee

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used these coffee grounds in my espresso machine to make an iced coffee. It had a more bitter/bold taste. It reminds me of a cold brew taste. I would prefer it to be in a can rather than a vacuum sealed package so it’s easier to scoop out.

Very smooth

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I made some of this as soon as i got it its very smooth and is really good. The only thing that i was disappointed about was usually coffe is supossse to wake up up but after drinking a cup i wanted to sleep. Other than that it has really good flavor. I would recommend this. Do not take my word for it you should try it for yourselves. You will not regret it.

It’s as good as more expensive brands of coffee.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have seen this brand in the grocery store, but never tried it until today. After brewing it in my drip-style coffee maker, I was pleasantly surprised at the aroma and deep flavor of the coffee. It tasted a lot like the more expensive brands I normally use. The flavor was bold and rich without any bitterness. This is a brand I will continue to purchase, as it is more budget-friendly with the same rich flavor.

Such an aromatic and flavorful espresso ground coffee.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ☕️Hey coffee lovers! Today, I want to talk about a true staple in my kitchen – the Café Bustelo Ground Espresso Coffee Brick. If you're a fan of bold, rich coffee, you're going to want to stick around for this one. ☕️First off, let's talk about the moment I opened the package. The aroma that escaped from the vacuum-sealed brick was absolutely divine. It was like being transported straight to a bustling Latin American café. The scent of the dark-roast coffee filled the air, rich and invigorating, promising a robust flavor that would wake up even the most tired of senses. ☕️As I began to brew the coffee, that captivating aroma only intensified, enveloping my entire kitchen in its warm, inviting embrace. It's a sensory experience that truly sets the stage for the deliciousness to come. There's something so satisfying about that smell – it’s comforting and energizing all at once. ☕️Now, a quick tip for my fellow Café Bustelo fans: this espresso-style dark roast coffee also comes in a can. What I love to do is reuse my Café Bustelo can by filling it with the bricks. It's an eco-friendly way to store the coffee while keeping it fresh and preserving that fantastic aroma. ☕️But let's get to the most important part – the taste. Café Bustelo delivers on its promise of a bold, full-bodied flavor. Made from 100% pure, high-quality coffee beans, the espresso-style dark roast offers a vibrant character that's unmistakably Café Bustelo. Whether you enjoy your coffee black or with cream and sugar, this coffee's robust flavor stands out. ☕️One of the things I appreciate most about Café Bustelo is its versatility. This coffee is perfect for a variety of brewing methods, from drip coffee makers to espresso machines and manual brewers. It's also ideal for making traditional Latin American coffee drinks like a Cafecito or a Cafe con Leche. The rich, dark flavor holds its own in any recipe, making every sip a delightful experience. ☕️ If you're looking for a coffee that offers a bold, authentic taste of Latin America, look no further than the Café Bustelo Ground Espresso Coffee Brick. From the intoxicating aroma to the full-bodied flavor, every cup is a celebration of rich, dark-roast perfection. Es un sabor como ningun otro – truly a flavor like no other. Trust me, once you try it, you'll understand why Café Bustelo is such a beloved brand. Estas invitado to explore and enjoy this incredible coffee – it's an essential part of my morning routine, and I'm sure it will become a favorite in your household too.

Decent coffee

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nothing spectacular about these grinds or flavor, but they hold up in a variety of cafe style drinks. A little more bitter than I’d like regardless of the brewing method or amount used in making each drink but you still get coffee flavor in every sip versus the brands that fizzle out and only getting sugar or whatever other flavor other people add.

Yum!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never tried this coffee before so this was a first for me. I really liked the taste and it is pretty strong in caffeine so I felt energized after my morning cup. Im so glad to have gotten the opportunity to try this because I definitely will be buying this brand for my regular coffee in the future. Definitely will recommend to all my friends and family.

My Favorite coffee

Not sure how this coffee can't be loved. I love the flavor and I even brew mine stronger and it doesn't get bitter like maxwell house and it beats dunkin' - which is the one I am not sure how people drink. If I try to drink other coffees now they taste watered down. Try this coffee I don't think you will be disappointed.

Toasted and bold

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Influenster and café Bustelo in exchange for my honest review. Great packaging! I like that is sealed and compressed because you know exactly the amount of coffee you’re getting. The smell of the coffee from the package is divine and the coffee grounds are very fine so you get more flavor and it’s great to make espresso. As seen in the pics I used a Moka pot and it came great. Now all that being said I’ve notice that Bustelo offers very bold flavors with their coffees. They’re toasted almost burnt, a bit strong if you take it alone, but if you’re not into strong toasted/bitter flavors they’re great for bases because you can taste both the coffee and the add ons (milk, creamers, sugar etc) so it’s a good balance. Caffeine definitely hits, so a little goes a long way or else you’ll be buzzing. Overall good coffee, bold toasted flavors, good smell, fine grounds. Caffeine buster, great to start your day and get some energy. Can be bitter for some but balanced well with add-ons.

Outstanding coffee!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Guys this coffee is so darn delicious! It smells so strong, but in a wonderful way. It’s packed with flavor. It’s bold and rich!! Not at all bitter tasting which I love. It’s also priced very well so you’re getting a lot of value for your money. Overall this one is definitely a winner in my opinion!

Getting too expensive

All the reviews shown are incentivized, i e they gave free coffee to “influencers” or another way of looking at it, they tried to bribe people. I say this because my previous honest review wasn’t published. As a long time, decades, cafe Bustello drinker (writing for my wife) I wrote to criticize the CEO (Smucker) who was quoted glibly and gleefully proclaiming that coffee is a pass thru commodity, meaning they can increase the price to the consumer as needed with seemingly no consideration. With the increasing retail price at my supermarket I would consider other options.
