Today I am trying Café Bustelo, espresso ground coffee. The aroma is nice when you break the seal, but not as tart as I was expecting. It's an espresso grind however I'm filling k-cups and brewing with a Keurig so I don't pack it down. It's brewing dark and pouring thick which already impresses me.
The brewed cup is a little nutty in aroma. The taste is strong and smooth with a hit of buttery coco and almonds. It's actually pretty fantastic. It's well balanced from sip to swallow and leaves a luxurious aftertaste. It also helps that you get 10oz for under $4.00.
I give Café Bustelo a 4 and a 1/2 out of 5. It's definitely my favorite espresso roast so far. It could be a little stronger, but all around it's wonderful.

Legend has it that, shepherds in Ethiopia were the first to realized the awesomeness of coffee after noticing the goats they watched would begin “dancing” after ingesting coffee beans.
