French Roast Robusta & Arabica Coffee Beans 1kg – Extra Strong Dark Roast Espresso, Intensity 5/5, Southeast Asia & Central Africa Origins, Roasted in Italy (Packaging May Vary)

I bought these beans to kickstart my mornings and they do give a proper strong cup with a pronounced roast character. The smoky, bold flavour is quite satisfying in a cafetière, though it’s not the smoothest coffee I’ve had. Grinding them fresh really helps bring out the aroma, and they seem to stay decent for a few weeks once opened. They’re good value for a big bag if you drink coffee every day. They won’t suit everyone’s taste, as some find the flavour a bit bitter, but I’ve been pretty happy with mine.

Grano Milano Coffee Beans 1kg French Roast Robusta Blend, Dark Roast, Intensity 10/10 I've tried numerous coffee brands over the years, but the Grano Milano Coffee Beans 1kg French Roast Robusta Blend truly stands out. Here’s what I love about it: Rich and Bold Flavor: The dark French roast brings out an incredibly deep, smoky flavor that’s perfect for my morning espresso. The intensity level is a solid 10/10, which means it packs a punch and really wakes me up. Quality Beans: The robusta beans used in this blend add a unique richness and a slightly bitter edge that I enjoy. They’re clearly high-quality, as every cup tastes consistent and fresh. Versatile Brewing: Whether I'm using my espresso machine, French press, or drip coffee maker, these beans never disappoint. The versatility is a big plus for me since I like to switch up my brewing methods. Amazing Aroma and Crema: The aroma is intoxicating—it fills my kitchen with that classic coffee shop smell. Plus, when I make espresso, the crema is thick and velvety, just the way I like it. Great Value: The 1kg bag is perfect for my daily coffee needs. It’s a generous amount that stays fresh thanks to the well-designed packaging. Overall, the Grano Milano French Roast Robusta Blend has become my go-to coffee for its bold flavor, quality, and versatility. If you love strong, dark coffee, this one is definitely worth trying!

This is a perfectly acceptable coffee bean for general purpose use. I have a Delonghi machine and this is a good bean for morning coffee and my wife's cappuccinos and lattes

Great coffee.

Dark with smokey and chocolatey aromas. Too much impact for having black for me, but mixed 50/50 with frothed milk is fabulous. I also mix 50/50 with arabica beans in my grinder to add some high flavours and it is mainly dirty deep bitterness and needs some highlights thrown in to make it more complete to me. Great value and the bag is great for folding over to keep the beans fresh.

Good value for money and some may absolutely love the quality of the beans, but for me I wanted a coffee that would be great for a morning caffeine fix. For day time drinking it was fine, but I found it had too much of a chocolate undertone, which wasn’t the rich roasted coffee taste I was hoping for.

Great tasting coffee, would recommend. Dark roasted, smooth blend goes really well with espresso or latte/ cappuccino.

A little bitter, but overall excellent. Value for money is very good
