Reviews

Been using a Breville barista almost daily for 6 months. Been grinding fresh, full-city roast Costa Rica Terrazo beans for every cup. Really happy with the full, balanced flavor, mouth-feel, aroma, aftertaste, etc. The great reviews of the San Marcos Espresso bean intrigued me, so I thought I'd give it a try. The dominant characteristic to both my wife & me is it's distinct peppery taste. There really is no unpleasant aftertaste at all, however. If one is used to a bit of a bite in their espresso, this likely is the bean for you. However, it's a bit disappointing to us. That being said (actually, written!) I will continue to make espresso/cappuccino for myself until the bag is empty, as it's not distasteful - to my taste buds, however, it's just does not have the fully pleasant characteristics we've come to be used to with the Costa Rica Terrazo beans. Though our experience with the espresso beans was not as expected, we remain confident that San Marco Coffee is of high quality, & we will continue to purchase the few other varieties we enjoy so much in our daily coffee brew.

After diner coffee

Very flavorful

It's my everyday coffee! I love the way the house smells when it is brewing. Miss it when I run out, hence the 5lb bag I purchased.

One of my favorite flavored coffees... The right amount of each flavor...

We use approximately one full tablespoon per 6oz of water, in a standard drip coffee machine. The coffee has a great aroma along with a bold taste. This has surpassed Hawaiian Delight as our new favorite.

I've made this in a better filter machine and French press, grinding my own beans in each case. It's ok, but the other two flavors I bought from you folks is much closer to what is suggested on the label. Those i will re-order. This one doesn't remotely remind me of Cappuchino, but- for me- has a hint of dark chocolate which is modestly pleasant.

Of the San Marco flavors I've tasted. this is my favorite and I'll keep ordering it along with one other of yours I know and like . You'rvebatting 2 out of 3 with one not bad, but I wouldn't re-order. (Do you ever do small samples for folks to try in terms of a couple of others about which they may be curious and to which they may gravitate?)

I both drip and French press this coffee. It's a rite of the cool to cold seasons, especially at night in decaf. Along with Chocolate Orange, I order regularly. Asked about whether you do small samples of other flavors -with aa placed order- for people to investigate a couple of other potential candidates. The one I wouldn't reorder is the Choc. Capp, as my wife and I couldn't get the capp. hints, but was otherwise mildly decent in terms of dark chocolate.

love it
