Caffe D'arte Parioli Whole Bean Espresso Coffee, 5 Pounds

Parioli is my favorite blend and I use it both for lattes and drip. However, I don't believe Caffe D'Arte makes a bad coffee blend. It's not the cheapest, but it's not more expensive than other brands that aren't nearly as good.

The coffee is very good. Would buy again.

I have already started my opinion on this product, I have nothing more to say!

Hands down, best coffee ever! I always try to find the stands that serve it and have a bag on hand for coffee at home!

I am a coffee snob. No way around it. My Wife and I have had hundreds of different types of coffees, from all over the world, and across america. But I have yet to find anything as good as The Meaning of Life. We use is it as Drip, Latte, espresso, cold brew, Mochas and in deserts and it is all amazing. We get the whole bean and grind (though we have had the pre ground, and it is still very good.) The only coffee that may top this was an $80 per cup Kopi Luwak coffee from a super expensive high end restaurant (but that is a story for another time)10/10 would recommend

This dark roast decaffeinated coffee, to my taste, comes across as slightly bitter and slightly burnt. Brewing at a lower temperature or switching from drip brew to moka pot helped to improve the taste, but not to an ideal level.I did not find a roasting date on the package, which is always disappointing.

I chose Caffe D;arte Espresso Decaf whole bean coffee based on a review by a coffee reviewer who had to quit caffeine due to doctor's orders. Good flavor - approaches very good caffeinated coffee, and exceeded my expectations, but did not use it in an espresso machine so I don't know how closely this coffee is to caffeinated espresso - from an espresso machine. Great flavor, brewed in a conventional coffee maker (I use a French Press).Point: I use a French Press a. Because I have one that has been sitting around unused, and b. I am the only one in the household who had to give up caffeine - as with the reviewer, under doctor's orders. The caffeine drinkers use the drip 12 cup pot, and I use the 2-cup French Press. However, I expect Cafe D'arte Espresso Decaf coffee to be just as flavorful from a standard drip coffee brewer.After the first couple brews I started mixing these beans with "regular" decaffeinated beans (50/50) as a sort of "breakfast blend". Working well straight or mixed with other brand (decaffeinated) beans. I didn't give it five stars because my doc just took me off caffeine and this is the first decaffeinated bean I tried.This coffee is decaffeinated via methylene chloride method. Also, I don't know if it makes a flavor difference that I use a "vintage" hand-grinder set for a pretty fine grind [Spong coffee mill, U.K.]. And, I am only using that because the caffeine drinkers "own" the electric burr grinder. There is nothing I dislike about this coffee, except maybe the price.

We love this coffee it’s always good and fresh
