I use a French press exclusively. I rarely make espresso but I love espresso beans. I also grind to a fine grind rather than coarse so this being said your results may vary. This coffee is not one to make me shout wow, but it is a very good drinkable cup. As I pour the hot water into the press I can see a little bit of crema forming on the top. I give this product four stars more for the value than the flavor. The quality is good and the Java Trading Company boasts of their "air roasting" method. I have also tried "Jet City" from them which I thought was superior to Java Gold.
The texture in my mouth is smooth and the flavor complex with a tiny hint of sweet spicy. In my opinion a better cup of coffee than Pike's Place or Verona. For the money it is a better value than some of the lower priced LaVassa but it doesn't come close to Crema de Oro. This coffee if I had to guess is more African/Asian than South American.

I've been drinking it daily now for about 40 days and am almost bored. It is satisfying but I will be exploring more. Looking for that cup that makes me shout wow.

Decent flavor, slightly bitter aftertaste. Not as strong as Starbucks Espresso Roast, not as smooth as Trader Joe's Organic Five Country Espresso Blend.

I thoroughly enjoy this coffee. It is strong enough to make fabulous latte or caramel macchiatto. I love to grind my own beans for the freshest coffee. This coffee is not even slightly bitter, but has a wonderful beginnng, middle, and after taste.

If you like strong black coffee this is the stuff for you. Great delivery, comes packaged in a foil resealable bag. Will reorder again.

At the low low price I got these beans, I am floored! I'm almost a fresh bean coffee snob too. Great gifts to break the bag into smaller offerings!

I really enjoy this coffee and look forward to it brewing every morning; it makes the house smell delicious

My first taste impression of the coffee is that it is not great.

I like dark coffee and this is pretty mild.
