Cafe Bustelo Cafe Espresso Molido - Espresso Ground Coffee Brick (1 Pack x 283g Brick)

When I first tried this I thought it was almost burnt. It's right on the edge of between roasted and burnt, and I thought I didn't like it. One packet down and I'm not sure anything else will ever do. It's so good. It's ground to a lovely fineness so using a stove pot works really well. Well worth a punt if you're a coffee lover - I expect it has marmite response, but for me I'm so glad I gave it a go. Pity it's quite expensive (although pack is a little bigger than normal)

This is the best coffee I've ever had . Smells great and the taste is smooth. It has a good caffeine kick . 10/10.

Good stuff

Third time ordered....the seal was partly broken on this one so there wasnt pressure in the pack...so less fresh. but it smells and tastes ok. love this coffee with condensed milk... for normal black coffee i still drink Illy

Strong but not ''overroasted'', amazing amazing taste! Finished the pack already. Definitely will buy again.

Oh man this stuff is amazing! It’s higher caffeine levels but tastes lovely, no sugar needed! I bought a tin originally and use the refill packs to top up and keep fresh. It’s ground already so you will need a press / espresso maker

The coffee arrived with what looks like a deliberate small hole that has punctured the vacuum pack seal. I have absolutely no idea why this was done or if it was actually deliberate. I have ordered this coffee before in a tin and it's been delicious, I will just order the tin in future.

Best coffee going but just too expensive these days

Grind is very fine, essentially ready for espresso or maybe even a Turkish coffee. Been drinking Bustelo on and off for almost 20-years now, and it is not a bad coffee. Typically, I add about 1/4 of the serving size to my grounds for percolated to give the coffee a nice boost in flavor. Have also used to brew in Moka, Phin and in a pinch for drip. In drop however, it's a bit too fine when dealing with "one cup" makers but for 8-cup or larger no issues. Definitely not for cold brew due to its fineness, a lot of silt depending on your pitcher. Can be done, and does have a strong flavor for cold brew, just not recommended.

I have been drinking this coffee for years. I have worked in many coffee shops and have drunk coffee from many establishments, including Starbucks which I do not like at all (I think Starbucks burns their beans). In case you did not realize, dark roasted coffee has less acid and actually a little less caffeine because some it goes up in the smoke when roasted. Hard to say exactly why I like it so much but the smoothness and intensity of flavor works for me. I make it in a French press every morning. The price is very good when you get in this quantity. I do put honey and creamer in my coffee, but it is wonderful also as just an expresso.

awesome

I ordered this on 8/19 for $110 equaling $4.58 a brick and it arrived via USPS on 8/28; all 24 bricks are in good shape; the vacuum seals on all bricks are in tact; all bricks have the same expiration date, which is 7/27/2025; packaging looks legit; I'll be set with coffee for the next 2 yrs as I consume about a brick or two each month; I'll return to the review to supplement it if something turns up worth reporting; this is a good value under the circumstances; other single and multiple bricks were going for about $8! Before covid, I usually got them for 3 for $5; I haven't opened nor tried yet a brick because I still have left some gourmet coffee I bought at Whole Foods while this got delivered so I can't yet give a quality remark; and lastly, the bricks arrived in a box the size of all the bricks without peanuts, air bubbles or other cushion to protect them during transit; the box wasn't damaged. That's all folks!

If you love strong coffee, this is the best choice.
