I’m not addicted to coffee; I could quit any time but have no plans to do that any time in this life… My wife gave me a handheld Minipresso machine for Christmas so that I can brew myself an emergency espresso in the middle of a long airplane ride tomorrow. I tried a couple of different blends and grinds before I hit upon Bustelo espresso grind. I love the earthiness in the aroma and aftertaste of Latin American coffees, and this was exactly what I was looking for in an espresso. I can’t wait to try it in my Nespresso machine as well, when I get back from this trip!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I make my espresso using a moka pot, so that's the method I used to make this. It has a very deep roasted smell that is bordering on burnt, the grounds are jet black and very fine. The grind seems a little too fine for the moka pot but I'm no expert so I'm not sure. The espresso is unfortunately a bit bitter and has a slightly sour after taste so I prefer to use this in "mixed" drinks like cappuccinos and mochas. It still gives me a nice boost of energy but I don't think I'll be buying it again. I received this product as an incentive for my honest and unbiased review.

I tried Cafe Bustelo on a lark, having seen the familiar packaging for years. I was blown away the first time I opened one of the bricks and took a deep breath of the aroma! Wow, in a word, premium! I've been searching for this quality at such a reasonable price. It was there all along!

I was introduced to Cafe Bustello by a fellow NCO when I was active duty Air Force back in 2001. Bought some for home to share with my wife and we've been drinking nothing but Cafe Bustello ever since. When we travel, we take our own coffee with us because with very few exceptions, everything else is swill in comparison. Best value for money out there and is better than other coffee that is much more expensive.

Still the best coffee

not bad for coffee

I love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love this coffee so much. The smell as it brews is so amazing and it is chock full of flavor. It's not overly expensive and it definitely wakes you up in the morning! 10 out of 10!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve never tried espresso ground coffee before but thought Cafe Bustelo was delicious! I also really like the light packaging as I always put coffee into my own canister anyway.

My wife & I buy this coffee. When we buy something else, it’s just not the same. We save the cans & refill them with the 10oz bricks. Last time we went to the store, the bricks were 6oz for the same price.
