This is my “go to” espresso for straight shots. It’s silky sweet, thick and rich in flavor. It is not at all bitter. There are notes if bitter sweet chocolate, nuts and light tobacco. I have bought and roasted more than 5lbs. I have roasted it medium dark just up to second crack, dark and even extra dark into second crack at the brink of oils beginning to break on the surface. It is outstanding every time! If you enjoy the Classic Italian Espresso straight shot, this is one you will come back to for more!

Roasted to Full City I get the bold balanced flavor I love. I'm also tasting the chocolate notes.

Smells like cookies. The taste has a marshmallow quality similar to some vodkas and has a deep red wine taste as well. it's not the best coffee I have had but it is defiantly worth trying.

Taken to Full City on an SR800, brewed in a Chemex. Smooth, smooth, smooth. Velvety mouthfeel, milk-, not dark chocolate notes. Rich, but not bold. Just a relaxing, delicious cup.

Balanced. That's the best I can describe this coffee. There are many subtle flavors that someone more sophisticated might be able to pick out. But what I like is the rich, full flavor in which no attribute is particularly overwhelming. I roasted it to completion of first crack. A great cup of coffee that stays consistent even as it cools in your cup.

I roasted this coffee on 10/23/21 with the Behmor 2000AB which I picked up at the Cincinnati Coffee Festival. This was the first time toasting with the Behmor and it was amazing! I roasted in 1/4 lb cycles at 1:30 past first crack. Smooth, chocolaty, nutty, buttery. Well balanced. My new favorite!

I roasted this coffee to (Just) full city..stopped before 2nd crack...and slowly. Blended with CBC's Ethiopian Misty Valley. The result pulled like motor oil. Thick and viscous as if there was 25% Robusta. Straight, this bean is mainly bittersweet chocolate at this roast degree. Get this bean!

The families preferred method of coffee preparation is using an Espresso machine. The Brazil Reserve Espresso is a very good espresso coffee bean. I roasted it just beyond first crack and it is very tasty. Good cup of coffee!

What can I say? A tough call for me to choose between this and Mexican Chiapas as my favorite cup. Dark-roasted into 2nd crack is my preferences. Excellent!

On my second 8 oz roast of this Brazil CHC Espresso Reserve and we really enjoy it as the base for our cold brew. Perfect for enjoying an iced coffee in the afternoon.

This is THE classic sweet chocolate espresso you’ve been waiting for. Roasted 30 sec or so past 1st crack, these beans make a wonderful sweet and full bodied espresso - nothing bitter, nothing sour. Cappuccinos taste like you are in Italy. Highly recommended for those who don’t want their coffee to taste like fruit.

Roasted at City Plus, a smooth cup of coffee. Want to try a darker roast next run, expect to see more body and chocolate notes missing at the lighter roast.

I love a medium roast! This hits the spot perfectly! I typically roast 1 pound at z time and I will stop roasting around 1 min to 30 seconds before 2nd crack!

This is a wonderful coffee. I roast it light stopping right first crack. I brew a double shot for a latte.
The flavors are incredible
I am so glad CBC carries this bean.
Light roast and you want regret it.
