9 Bar - Espresso Italia
TASTING NOTES: cocoa, caramel, dark chocolate
ROAST LEVEL: medium-dark
A classic central Italian espresso, blended and craft-roasted specifically for Espressotec. Full-bodied with caramel and chocolate notes; rich, dense, reddish-brown crema; and a lingering smooth finish.

Good coffee and good value but not quite 5 stars
Caveat: we bought this once while visiting the city, and perhaps not all bags are alike. Was good coffee but my wife and I agreed that this lacked the complexity of our regular and was more focused on "roast" than the other flavours we enjoy in our morning cup (and we do like dark, strong coffee). Price was excellent. Not sure that we'll do this again, even with the very reasonable price.

My Daily Latte
I've been liking the 9 Bar Espresso Italia quite a bit for my daily latte.

Hi Karla, Thank you for your review. The 9Bar is certainly hard to beat for a daily latte :)

Great way to start my days!
Love the espresso coffee. Just the smell of it wakes me up even before start drinking it

Great Dark Bean Espresso
Sorry but I can’t wrap my mind around the lighter roast citrus thing... As some one who likes a darker roast, this bean has lots of nuanced dark chocolate and a bit of maraschino cherry. Lots of great crema. Very good.

awsome! Looking forward to the next purchase.
