      Awful

      I've been pulling shots for twenty years, and I can honestly say that these are some of the worse beens I've ever used. For a start when opening the bag there was very little aroma coming off the beans. Combined with the lack of crema when pulling a shot, tells me that these beans are old and not fresh. Is that why you don't put roasting dates on your bags? To make things worse I have never had to grind any other coffee this fine before to get a decent shot, 21g in 42g out. In doing so this has been blocking up my grinder and causing clumping. How you can profess that these are premium beans is beyond me, and I wouldn't buy these beans again even at half the price!

      I'm not stupid, I realise that this review will never be posted on your website, because you only post four or five star positive reviews. However I decided to vent my spleen after wasting my money on this product.

      Strong on all fronts.

      I've tried most premium coffee beans and have found Vittoria Nero to be the best.

      Strong coffee flavour that cuts through milk to make the best Mocha I've ever had.
