Makes delicious espresso,
DO read the tin lid before you open it. It comes in a tin with a key pull on the lid that looks those we’ve all seen hundreds of times before. What you can’t tell on first glance is that the tin is pressurized so if you open it quickly like I did, you’ll get a mini explosion of of super fine coffee grounds that you will then be cleaning off your face, shirt, counter and floor. Open slowly, just like the can says. ( :

Just had another explosion issue. This time it wasn’t a mini-explosion. I’ve been opening these cans over the sink, very slowly since my first experience a couple of years ago. This made a mess like I’ve never seen. I looked like I had been handed a firework in a Bugs Bunny cartoon with all the espresso grounds I had all over my face, neck, arms and kitchen. I had to shower to get it off of me and I just cleaned grounds out of my ears with a Q-tip. I can’t believe there’s not an easier way to package this stuff.
Excellent coffee, but price isn’t right,
Strong Flavor, Never Bitter,
