Judge.me5.0 / 5
Packs A Punch!
“I’ve gone through a lot of espresso beans, and this one I order thee most. It pulls a thick crema, has a smooth caramel sweetness, and makes incredible lattes and cappuccinos.”

Judge.me5.0 / 5
The best coffee bean for espresso
“Hands down, this is the best and only coffee bean to trust for a solid espresso pull. The crema is velvety. The brew itself is low on acid yet high on flavor. Drink it straight or mix it any way you like. This is the only bean you need if you're an espresso drinker.”

How ratings count toward the Index

To count, an aggregate must come from a supported source, match this product, include at least 5 ratings, and have been refreshed within 90 days. Its weight is 12% for 5 to 24 ratings, 15% for 25 to 99, or 18% for 100 or more. Higher tiers need another signal alongside; a ratings-only coffee stays at 12%.
