Caffe Mercanti Oro 8.8oz Italian Roast Ground Coffee + 6 Espresso Cups Moka - Made in Italy

Enjoy the smell taste and has a good amount of crema

Great coffeeTaste delicious down to the last drop I’m happy I came across these beans

The coffee beans are terribly over-roasted. The taste is awful. I'll never buy it again.

This coffee is fantastic - I get it every month. It's generally smooth and has great flavor. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because occasionally a bag will have obviously older (more bitter) beans, but in general it's great!

Full bodied flavor, easy to grind

it was $10.99 now $20.99.

Excellent flavor. Great value

The media could not be loaded. I'm a big coffee drinker and I've tried from drip, KCups, French press, cold brew and espresso. I like smooth and strong coffee and I'm into cold brew and espresso nowadays. I've been fascinated by moka pot way of brewing coffee for awhile and I'm glad I tried this gem.Setup and brewing process is relatively easy.I grind my coffee beans to a drip coffee setting as recommended for a moka pot brew. For reference, a drip coffee grind produces a finer texture than coarse grind (for French press) but coarser than an espresso grind. So the quicks steps are to add hot water to the boiler base, add coffee, and brew.So the brew produced is stronger than a drip bew, closer to espresso brew without the crema. My reference is coming from my Nespresso brewing experience. It's smooth and strong. I love it. I've read and watched some videos that you can produce a crema using a moka pot by using a finer ground coffee and tamping it but I've also read that it might damage the moka pot and some argue that it's safe. Anyway, I'm happy with the regular moka pot brew and it means smooth and strong brew.Important note:I followed the instruction I read from a coffee expert to add hot water (not warm water as suggested in the product page). The main reason is that when you start heating warm or cold water, you're heating longer and the coffee produces a bit more bitter coffee taste than intended. This works and I love the espresso brewed from this moka pot. I enjoy it by adding some creamer or frothed milk, and some sweetener to make a delicious latte.Build quality is solid cast aluminum and is made from Italy. I just wish that the instruction included is more user friendly. It's a small folded leaflet with very small prints. While I was able to follow the instructions, I had to search and watch a Youtube video showing how to brew using a moka pot to be sure.CleaningIt's in the instructions to never use a detergent on cleaning this unit, just wash with running water. Cleaning for first time use is in the instruction leaflet.I actually find this moka pot easy to clean. After pouring the coffee to your cup, I learned a tip to place the bottom boiler to a cold running water to cool it. I guess that's optional and that is if you want to clean the pot right after brewing. You can use a soft sponge to clean the main parts with running water.I'm happy with this moka pot and glad to add this special brew to my coffee servings.
