Just Tried Bello Montana's Espresso Roast Blend


I love coffee and I thought I had tried all kinds of coffee. I even thought I had tasted the best and most expensive coffee. I make it a point to try the Espresso whenever I go to a new coffee shop or purchase a new brand. Since it's my favorite roast, I think it is an easier and much more fair comparison to compare coffee brands when one is comparing the same "type".

So, after finding out about Bello Montana,I decided to give them a whirl, and I ordered the Espresso Roast and I am floored at the taste difference. I had tasted supposed fresh roasted coffee before, but nothing close to this.

When my order arrived, I initially thought (and I can't even believe I thought this), that these little beans wouldn't have as much taste because they are a little lighter in color. Color me WRONG.

Within minutes of receiving my order, there I was, standing in my kitchen, grinding those beans. I just couldn't wait to taste this fresh roasted coffee after having read their website. I didn't use my Espresso maker, I used just my regular old drip coffee maker. Right off the aroma was intensely pleasing. My partner, who isn't anywhere near the level of coffee freak I am,(I prefer the term "Coffee Admirer"), even came in to ask what kind of coffee I was making because it smelled so wonderful. The aroma even made him stand around and wait for the pot to finish so he could try a cup.

The taste was beyond fantastic. That first cup was bar none the single best cup of coffee I have ever had. I have purchased the coffee that is billed as the most expensive and best, and it wasn't as good as this.
I have come to find out even though there is a two week window for maximum taste in the fresh roasted coffee, it is so worth buying. And honestly, If you make a pot of coffee everyday like we do, it won't even last 2 weeks. Sadly, my bag of espresso beans only lasted a week, but after giving cups of coffee to neighbors and friends, everyone agreed they had never had better coffee.

I've had coffee that was advertised as tasting "fresh roasted", but you know, after having had the real deal, that other coffee wasn't even close! So, I'm pleased to say, I am in the small but growing club of people who know what real fresh roasted coffee tastes like.

I'm going to try some other blends of Bello Montana and post my experiences here. Now, I'm off to have a cup of coffee and start my busy day!
