Not good

I made my first cup and cleaned the machine, packed it back up and sent it back. I thought the coffee was weak even though I used two pods. I thought it was like espresso. I will be looking for and espresso machine.

My usual purchase

I make a cappuccino nearly every day of the week and have found your espresso great for that. I enjoy the richness of the flavor. If i find a downside, I will let you know.

Excellent tasting coffee

We do a Turkish grind for this espresso roast coffee and use it in a French press coffee maker. It's super strong and full of flavor; no harsh acidity or after taste. We love it!

Expresso with molasses and caramelized sugar

I purchased a new bag of the Espresso and now I know why i has a different taste. Its not as tasty as the espresso with the notes of caramelized sugar. Oh well.

great tasting

I'm not s huge critic on coffee unless it's down right horrible. This has a great taste to it and doesn't leave a bad after taste and that's drinking straight out of the cup with no additives.

Enjoyable!

It is not as good as going into a Starbucks but its as close as I can get in my kitchen! I mix mine with soy milk and carmel flavor syrup, add ice and drink it out of my grande size reusable starbucks cup! LOVE!

Great Taste

This is a great tasting full body coffee. It's strong without the bitter taste. It's great for making different drinks or for that wake me up in the morning.

Pods explode

I have gotten two boxes with pods that explode before the coffee is finished brewing and the grounds go into my cup of coffee so I have to start over. Help!

Bitter by itself

This espresso needs alot of sugar and cream to get through the bitterness. But once it is "fixed up" it is not too bad. I think I'll stick with a Turkish brew until I can find an exceptional espresso.

My go-to everyday coffee

I like my coffee strong and rich, and these beans plus my little hand-cranked grinder and my coffee press consistently deliver. Brewed correctly, you'd almost think you're drinking a cup of hot cocoa. Yum!
