This is everything you expect from an Italian espresso – dark, strong and a punch to the throat. To start with, this is a super fine grind, which means we’re not just drinking infused coffee, but actual coffee grinds that have slipped through our caffetiere net.

Rombouts Italian Style Espresso Dark Roast Coffee Read Post »
The first few cups we had out of this tin didn’t really go down too well. It just felt very harsh and over roasted – and more like a cheap Robusta type coffee.

The packet oozes continental style – you can smell the oil from the 2-stroke Vespa and the hand crafted Italian leather shoes just on the packet. It must be quite finely ground as we had quite a few floaters on the top – but they […]
