I received a gift of pre-ground Dark Roast Hato Viejo coffee recently and very much enjoyed it. It was also nice to have a more local alternative to the large mainstream brand. I typically make double-shots with a decent Espresso machine. I've enjoyed this coffee so much so that I've placed my first order for 5lbs of whole bean coffee. When it arrived, the incredible scents permeated the immediate area of my home. I haven't yet broken into the bag, but based upon the previous coffee gift, am incredibly excited to do so soon.
