The taste is great in everyway. However the coffee wasn't ground well. I clearly see uneven sizes in the grains. I would be thrilled to try it again if it had an even and fine grind.

Mid-life, we got hooked on espresso traveling and have enjoyed our first foray into the drink back home. Thanks, San Marco.

Ground the beans in a Rancilio Rocky, extracted in a Silvia with PID. Great tasting latte the first time out.

Overall this is a very good coffee. For some reason it doesn't agree with my palate. I normally drink Lavazza but decided to change to a locally roasted bean. Everyone that I have shared it with loves it. It has great aroma and produces a wonderful crema. Generally smooth but the finish does not work for me. I would still definitely recommend to friends.

Having experienced many different brands/varieties of espresso, I find this one to be as good as I've found. Even smoother than a lot of Italian brands.
