by Amazon Espresso Crema Coffee Beans, Light Roast, 1kg (2 Packs of 500g), Rainforest Alliance Certified

Looking for a very good espresso/latte coffee at a really good price? Try this one. Cutting open the bag the aroma was very promising.......coffee as coffee should smell. I set my Iberital grinder to the finest setting and these beans ground perfectly. I like my espresso strong and long so 20grms in and 60ml out. The very first extraction was IMO perfection...just how I like my espresso. The pull was IMO perfect...no channeling, no spitting just a lovely swirl to a central crema flow. Taste was, again IMO, how espresso should be...strong, not acidic or sour with a lasting flavour of coffee(what else?) chocolate and that certain something that defies description but you know comes from a good espresso. I have bought from Rave, Pact, Spiller & Tait and others....all are lovely espresso/latte coffees but at a much higher price point and it is that which helps this coffee (CREMA COFFEE BEANS) top my list of beans to keep in store. Will I buy again? Most certainly. These will be my every day go to beans. Will I buy others? Sure ...we all need variety but others will be purchased only a few times a year now I have found these. IMO...At this price and with this resultant espresso these beans can not be beaten.

Good everyday coffee beans. Nice flavour and works well in my coffee machine. Smooth taste without being too strong. Great value for the price.

My partner adores coffee and is always on the look out for a decent everyday coffee that is affordable and he can just enjoy. I think we’ve found it with this one. The smell as you opened the bag was gorgeous. The bean colour is promisingly dark, they're nicely roasted, and you can tell that they're fresh. We tried it with a manual grinding machine, and with an electric one, and both gave great results. My partner and I are at different ends of the coffee scale; he likes a strong coffee, and I prefer mine to be milder, but somehow this suited us both. The flavour is rich and strong, but it’s also smooth with no bitterness. We will still drink other coffees, but this one is going to be the one we stock up on, especially as it has a decent shelf life, too. Happy to recommend.

We get through a lot of coffee in our house, so I wanted something affordable but still delicious these are a great find. They smell fresh, make a lovely crema, and the flavour is smooth and chocolatey without any harsh bitterness. I also love that they come in two 500g bags so the second stays fresh. Not fancy artisan coffee, but for everyday drinking the quality and value are spot on. I’ll definitely be buying again.

Decent value beans but certainly bitter for a light roast. If you have your machine on max grind you’ll need to turn it down to get anything like a light roast espresso - otherwise it was very bitter for me. The flavour itself is good though once you’ve adjusted the grind and aroma and you’ll get a good crema if using a decent machine.

Excellent no frills everyday coffee. Nice flavour and aroma, fresh tasting, comes out great from my ninja luxe. Just a great budget friendly everyday coffee.

I’m utterly taken with this Espresso Crema coffee—so much so that I’ve got it on Subscribe & Save, ensuring there’s always a fresh supply in my kitchen. The flavour is what keeps me hooked. The combination of dark chocolate and caramel notes is indulgent yet perfectly balanced, creating a smooth, full-bodied cup every time. Despite being a light roast, it has a satisfying richness, and with a strength of 4/5, it’s ideal for starting the day on the right foot or savouring a quiet moment. One of the standout features for me is the crema it produces—thick, velvety, and incredibly satisfying. It adds an extra touch of luxury to each espresso shot, making the experience feel barista-level right at home. The versatility of these whole beans is also a dream. Whether I’m grinding them finely for a sharp espresso or going coarser for my cafetière, the result is always spot-on. Knowing it’s roasted in Italy adds a touch of authenticity, and the Rainforest Alliance certification means I can enjoy every sip with a clear conscience, knowing it supports both farmers and the environment. If you’re after a coffee that delivers a delightful flavour, a brilliant crema, and ticks all the right boxes ethically, this is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended for all coffee enthusiasts!

This coffee delivers a bold, no-nonsense experience from start to finish. The beans are on the darker medium roast side, with a rich brown color and a slightly oily sheen, giving a deeper, more developed flavor profile. Once ground, the texture is consistent and fine, which is promising for even extraction. In the cup, the flavor leans toward classic dark roast characteristics—think toasted nuts, cocoa, and a subtle smokiness. Acidity is low, making it an easy drink for those who prefer a more mellow brightness. The aroma is warm and inviting, with hints of chocolate and roasted grains. It’s the kind of coffee that feels comforting rather than complex—ideal for a reliable daily brew rather than a nuanced tasting experience. Overall, this is a solid choice if you enjoy a fuller-bodied, darker medium roast with a straightforward flavor profile. It may not have the layered intricacies of lighter specialty coffees, but it makes up for it with consistency, depth, and a satisfying richness. Good value for money.💰
