    Delicious blend

    San Fermin beans were my fave but since they are currently unavailable, I tried these ones and have really been enjoying them.

    Coffee like a barista!

    Gives a smooth strong nutty espresso and by using the aeropress, gives me a latté almost equal to their barista made coffee!
