Shit, this coffee is insane. Now, it costs 9 bucks and change in Walmart, and it tastes like 9 bucks and change coffee. I am however spoiled on coffee so this is a bit arrogant of me to claim.

That being said, that caffeine hits really hard, I could feel my pulse. I was up and really zoned in on work. I have not had a hit like this in years. If you need a cold start, this is a bear slap to the face in the middle of winter. Going to be drinking this for awhile.

For real. I would say you don’t really care about quality if you’re buying any coffee that labels itself as espresso. Burnt black dark roast is more like it. Is it espresso if I brew it via pour over, French press, moka pot?

    I believe that some label the coffee as "espresso" to make it easier for regular people to know if it's a good fit for espresso or not. It doesn't have to mean that the coffee is of low quality.

    PS. If you burn your coffee beans when you're roasting them, you're obviously doing something wrong. ;)
