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

This is the best coffee i have ever had. It's bold and non acidic taste.

Exactly as written in the headline, super good beans. I froze the bag after pouring what I will be using. Great for espresso when you grind it fine.

Wow!! This coffee is amazing!!

Smooth and sweet. A nice Napoli dark roast of a mix of Arabica and Robusta. For those who care: I ordered on 06/02/2025 and got a bag with production date (roast date) at 01/31/2025. Production site is specified as Napoli, Italy.

As someone who usually buys freshly roasted dark roasts, I went out on a limb and picked up this 2.2 lb bag of Kimbo Napoletana as a stop gap measure while I waited for my next shipment of fresh beans. As expected, the Kimbo beans were not freshly roasted. Instead, the bag indicated they were roasted on August 23, 2023 and shipped to me around a year later. The “best by” date was August 22, 2025. So we’re dealing with beans that are a year old. Despite this, I don’t think they taste bad at all. The smell of the beans is not pleasant to me, but once they are brewed in my espresso machine, they taste like a traditional Italian roast with a good amount of robusta and produce a good amount of crema. The taste is also smooth with just a hint of bitterness. I was able to get the espresso to taste sweet with the correct brewing conditions.

Wonderfull coffee not acid

For a bag of beans from Amazon, the roast date being almost 4 months ago is not too bad. If I want fresh I have to go local. That said I’ve tried their ground variation of this coffee before and while it’s messier to use with my espresso machine and a pressurized filter basket, it was interesting and reminded me of an Italian espresso. Unfortunately getting to know the whole beans, they were very inconsistently roasted with several almost light yellow and all differing and sizes while others were medium and most were dark. This made things interesting in dialing in the espresso where I would have to go a little courser to get the extraction I needed but it still left the puck pretty muddy. Overall for the price I expect a much better coffee and I reached out to Amazon for a refund. Maybe it will be fine in a cortado or latte where you won’t notice the inconsistent flavors in a straight espresso.

Fantastic. Perfect for my morning double espressos/ americanos. I use the breville grinder and breville bambino 10/10
