Blue Bottle Espresso

Blue Bottle’s Whole Bean Organic Espresso is easily one of the best dark roasts I’ve ever tried. The beans are fresh, aromatic, and brew a smooth, rich shot with no bitterness. I use it with our Breville espresso machine, and it never disappoints. The crema is perfect, and the flavor is consistently bold and balanced. Highly recommend for anyone who takes their espresso seriously.

This Blue Bottle dark roast espresso is outstanding! The beans are fresh and aromatic right out of the bag. Once ground and brewed, they deliver a deep, rich flavor with smooth chocolatey notes and zero bitterness. It makes an excellent shot of espresso and also holds up beautifully in lattes or cappuccinos. I also appreciate that it's organic and ethically sourced — it makes the coffee experience feel even better. If you love strong, smooth espresso, this is absolutely worth the price.

I received these literally less than an hour ago and immediately ground some up! They are now in my top 3 for espresso! It had an excellent flavor profile! It actually had a fairly sweet flavor to it and was a nice syrupy style! If you prefer sweetness, go with these! There wasn’t much bitterness to it at all. The beans were super fresh!

Really enjoyed the bright, clean flavor of this light roast — the beans smell amazing and the coffee comes out smooth with no bitterness. It’s definitely high-quality and tastes fresher than most store brands. The only downside is the price for a 12-ounce bag; it feels a little expensive for everyday use. Overall, a very good coffee if you appreciate a lighter, more delicate roast.

They are excellent espresso. Let’s not overcomplicate things.

I usually enjoy Blue Bottle coffee, but this experience was a complete letdown. The bag of whole‑bean espresso I received was two months past its best‑by date, which is unacceptable for a product where freshness is everything. As soon as I opened it, the aroma was flat, and the beans looked dull and lifeless. Unsurprisingly, the espresso tasted muted and stale no matter how I dialed it in. For a premium brand, I expect premium quality control. Instead, I got something that should never have been shipped out in the first place. Definitely not worth the price, and I won’t be ordering beans from this Amazon again unless they can guarantee fresh stock.

I live in the middle of nowhere so the only kind of not ground espresso I can buy locally is the green mermaid kind. I decided to try this after hearing there were cockroaches in the green bag and ohmygoodness I will never go back. It’s delicious. This is how I want my espresso to taste.

I love that it is fresh and smooth. I use it in my ninja cafe lux and it is perfect

great quality coffee. blue bottle at its best. will definitely reorder again.

I was deeply disappointed by my recent purchase of this Blue bottle coffee. As a longtime admirer of their specialty coffee, I had high expectations. Unfortunately, this bag fell far short of the mark. The beans, once renowned for their nuanced flavors and complex profiles, now taste remarkably similar to the generic supermarket blends I’ve tried in the past. There's a noticeable lack of acidity, brightness, and overall character. The aroma is muted, and the aftertaste is flat. It's disheartening to see such a beloved roaster deliver a product that is so lackluster. I would not recommend this to you if you are expecting specialty 3rd wave coffee quality.

Taste was pretty ordinary. But I usually have it black so my palate may be more discrminating.
