This is a decent coffee for a stove-top expresso maker. I have a few stove-stop espresso makers in various sizes and this coffee bean brews a pretty good cup of espresso. I didn't get any crema with these beans, though. You'd think that with a name like "Super Crema" you'd be getting some crema. I purchased this twice. The first time, the beans tasted and smelled "fresh-ish". They're not freshly roasted, I expect that, but they tasted fine. The second time, they tasted noticeably stale. It was a let down. These do not make a good french press hot or cold brewed, but like I said, they're fine for a stovetop espresso maker. Don't expect any crema and be cautious that they might taste stale.
