This is a great roast. I prefer it over Starbucks Espresso, which I've been buying as of late. All grocery stores are starting to lose their regular beans and replace with K-cups. I hate Keurig. Pure garbage and tastes like that too. I'd rather pull a decent shot and make an Americano if need be. Much better than paying a premium for a horrible brew in the Keurig. Either way, this is a fantastic roast. Not oily like Starbucks, which is much better for the machine and the burr grinder also. The flavor is great and smooth. Tastes great as a straight show, double shot, or mixed coffee drink. Love this and will continue to buy from this brand.
