Reviews
Excellent Beans!
"I'm new to Fresh Roasted Coffee LLC. And, I feel very lucky to have stumbled upon this outstanding company. I'm a fan of dark to medium Italian style coffee. I make my coffees mainly using my espresso set up but occasionally using pour over. The FRC Italian roast is EXACTLY what I was looking for. The shots I pull with these beans are consistently delicious, well balanced, and with nice amount of roasty flavor. The beans are excellent in milk drinks (e. g. , lattes and cappuccinos). The bean quality is terrific and they are very easy to use. I've been pulling amazingly beautiful shots. Time to order my 3rd bag!!!"

Good, dark coffee
"I like flavorful, strong, black coffee. This is the type of cuppa that makes you exclaim, "Now that's a darn good cup of joe!" to the room around you, whether there's anyone else near you or you're all alone. I enjoy all of the FRC's Espresso roasts I've tried, but I keep coming back to this - the original FRC blend I first ordered and tasted. In fact, this is the coffee that made me a repeat FRC customer (after unsuccessfully ordering from a few other places in my quest to find the perfect cup)."

Good coffee
"This is one of my go-to orders. It has a good flavor, even people who don't usually drink a dark roast seem to like it. Only 4 stars because the last batch tasted a little off from what it usually does."

SO GLAD WE FOUND FRESH ROASTED LLC!!
"We've been a customer of Fresh Roasted Coffee LLC for several years. Trying different blends a few months at a time, we've never been disappointed! Almost always ordering the largest bags once we've decided on a selection for a few months following, we find the combination of excellent roasting and value pricing, the perfect combination!!"

Delicious!
"This is some good coffee. I usually brew a pot and even use it for espresso to add to the coffee for work. It's dark but has a smooth flavor and not burnt flavor like Starbucks."

Q&A
Lots of people say that dark roasts are not the best for espresso, but this is a dark roast called Italian espresso. Can someone help me understand this contradiction?
Classic Italian espressos are usually made from a blend of various types of Arabica and Robusta coffees taken to a dark roast and our recipe is no different. However, "espresso" is a drink or a preparation method if you'd prefer - not a roast. You can make espresso from single origin selections, light roasts, medium roasts, etc. We've tried some coffees as espresso and found that they were absolutely stellar! Some...well, not so much. Our organic Drago and Dark Nebula blends (in addition to Italian Espresso) were formulated to make delicious espresso and espresso-based drinks. Among the single origin selections, Indian Malabar and Dark Mexican, among others, make a tasty shot. To some extent, it comes down to your taste and what notes you're looking for.
Hello-Hoping to use these beans in my super automatic. However, the machine cannot take oily beans so I am wondering if these are oily. Thanks for any info you can provide.
Hello! These beans are relatively oily due to the dark roast. Customers looking for a bold flavor for espresso we suggest Drago, Anniversary Blend or Tiger & Dark Nebulas. However, customers who prefer a dark roast often blot the beans with a paper towel before running them through their machines. Hope this helps! Team FRC
