Kimbo Espresso Napoletano Whole Coffee Beans, Dark Roast, 1kg Bag

Lovely strong great value coffee. Dark roast, tastes lovely from my ninja luxe, very smooth taste, great value for the price.

This coffee is amazing for the price. It's ALMOST as good as the premium ones, but for a fraction of the price. It's strong, tasty, aromatic, smell well, the beans are not making the mess as some of them, with a nice colour. The beans are rather smaller, but it's a good thing, because it could be grounded better. Even the open bag still smells fresh. It's a perfect balance between the quality and value. I can recommend this coffee for sure.

One of the best Italian coffee - strong, tasty and full of aroma

Good coffee better than lavazza

Finally after a long search, I have decided to settle on this. Good consistency and a slightly woody flavor that’s distinct enough for daily use. Not all beans are created equal and I think my espresso machine is finally meeting with that someone she deserves.

One of the best coffees I've ever tride, so rich and balanced, will definitely buy again!

Your experience will massively depend on how you brew your coffee and what style of drink you make. In espresso form (flat white, 36g double shot) it is extremely tricky to get right. On my machine (Rancilio Silvia v6) I either got a very strong espresso on the upper limit of what I'd drink, or an overkill burnt tasting espresso that left an oily texture in the mouth. Thankfully it only took 2 or 3 extractions to dial it in and the beans remained consistent to the end. Still a bit too punchy for my taste, but not unpleasant. As a cafetiere coffee these beans work extremely well, with an impressively balanced flavour. I'd imagine for this reason the beans would work just as well in most non-espresso forms. If you normally make longer or single shot espresso drinks (like lattes) these beans may be a bit more forgiving. I just find Lavazza red beans much more versatile and they remain my go to off the shelf beans.

Good quality

Genel anlamda iyi

Kimbo’nun bu ürünü genel olarak oldukça başarılı. Aroması ve tonlamaları kendine özgü, gayet dengeli. Sadece kavrulma seviyesi bana göre biraz yüksek olsa da, lezzet profili genel anlamda çok tatmin edici.

I had read some good things about Kimbo on various espresso forums online, so wanted to give this a try. I am using a Niche Zero grinder paired with a high end dual boiler machine. First impressions are that these beans are exuding of roasty, smoky flavor. There is not much of that classic chocolatey Italian espresso flavor. Just way too bitter. I have been pulling ristrettos given the roast level and have tried varying shot temperature, but it just feels like a cheap commercial grade coffee. I bought this purely for exploration, but don't think I can recommend it to others. One can find better things for the same amount of money. For instance, Illy is better, Malabar Gold is quite awesome, etc. Also, I bought this at the end of September 2022 and the beans were roasted on March 2, 2022. Was not expecting fresh beans through Amazon anyway, but including it here as some useful information.

I love this wspresso and it as wonderful taste to it. And a strong dark roast but smooth. I will buy this again. It reminded in Italy.

Calidad precio muy bueno!!!
