Piazza Mercanti Italian Roast Coffee Beans - (1kg)

Good espresso coffee. Makes you strong and focus in the morning.

I previously had a delivery related quality problem on this package, the seller has given me feedback proactively which then I understood it was an issue beyond their control as it was shipment related. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the coffee, and its taste is just great!

Very old beans. Burnt. Bad chemical smell. Same taste. Disgusting. Worth nothing.

I didn’t like the smell, taste, after taste or the oily appearance of beans

This coffee is fantastic - I get it every month. It's generally smooth and has great flavor. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because occasionally a bag will have obviously older (more bitter) beans, but in general it's great!

Oily and not great for coffee machines. Burnt taste not rich aroma or flavor.

Writing this review as I’m drinking my first cup of “coffee”. Sadly, this is not what I expected from supposedly Italian coffee. I think beans were sitting out on a shelf for too long (perhaps in the heat) before they were sold.

Freshness is critical to flavour for coffee and a product delivered with only a day of shelf life left is unlikely to be at its best.Despite this this bean/roast has some promising flavour and intensity. I am left to wonder how much better it might be fresher.

I prepare it with the stove top coffee maker. The taste is great! Just grind it right.
