Used this for over a year now for espresso plus pour-overs and will continue using it as it's 'the best I've found'. For espresso, I grind with a Vario Baratza and produce shots with a Breville BES900XL/B Dual Boiler Espresso machine at 9 bar. For the pour-over, I use a combination of 1:2 ratio San Marco to Starbucks French Roast. Both, absolutely outstanding!!

I make a double shot of espresso in a Rancillio Silvia machine and add steamed cream for my morning coffee. I grind the beans in a Rancillio Rocky grinder set to ""5"". After trying several beans I like San Marco best, it's delicious, has a subtle flavor, no bitterness, etc., [...] stays fresh and is priced reasonably (I buy it in two pound bags).

We use this esspresso blend to make straight espressos or Lattes using a Rncilio Silvia and a Rancilio grinder. The coffee is consistently good with balanced acidity, great aroma and amazing smoothness. We have tried Illy, Lavazza etc blends but nothing compares to this. best bang for your buck.

Coffee in the bean form is the only way to go.Just be sure to get a quality grinder.And most of all practice makes perfect, A consistant quality coffee bean is very important and SAN Marco does it right.(sounds like a commercial)

It is espresso, only one way to use it. Straight up w/o sugar or other additives.
