Italian Coffee Beans 1kg – Grani d’Oriente | Medium Roast Whole Bean | Pavin Caffè

I drink so much espresso and love trying new beans. I had the opportunity to order and try this 6 large, 2.2 pound bag of whole espresso beans from Pavin caffe. This bag is well sealed, but not resealable for freshness. Because of this, and the fact that 2.2 pounds is a lot, I moved the beans into a releasable bag after opening. Pavin beans are produced and roasted in Italy, which is so fun. The beans smell amazing! This is a medium roast espresso that is 90% arabica and 10% robusta. The beans have lovely, light floral and fruity notes. They seem fresh, and grounded in my grinder beautifully. Pulling shots, I found it pulled better than my otherwise go-to brand of roasted beans with perfectly timed shots and had a great crema top. Taste wise, this is superb. It is smooth, balanced, creamy, and easy to drink if you're an espresso lover like I am. The bag has a roasted date that is recent and an expiration date that is not until 2028. Overall, I think this is a very nice medium roasted espresso bean that smells and tastes fantastic and might be one of my favorites that I've tried in the last year. I appreciate that it is low acidity, mold free and non-GMO, both of which are important to me. Price-wise, $38.99 for 2.2 pounds is more affordable than what I would expect to pay per ounce for other nice espresso roasts and I genuinely love these beans!!

Pretty good coffee beans. This is my fourth type from Pavin and while the bags are not as well priced as some grocery stores you'd find, the beans are fresh and you can pull a solid shot from them. Full bodied, low acidity. Great aroma right out of the bag. Not going to compare to small batch specialty roasts, but can compete against the mass market brands for sure.
