Is this coffee good for espresso machines?

Yes. The ground version is an extra-fine espresso grind, and the whole bean lets you grind to your machine's needs. It also works in drip brewers.

How does it compare with other Italian-style espresso roasts?

It is bolder and simpler than many premium Italian roasts, with chocolate and caramel notes. It costs less and is easier to find, but offers less nuance.

Is it whole bean or ground?

Both are sold. Choose whole bean for freshness and grind yourself, or ground for espresso machines.

Is it vegan and kosher?

Yes. It is 100% Arabica coffee, vegan, fat free and kosher certified.

What does it taste like?

A dark, full-bodied roast with chocolate and caramel notes and a strong aroma. It is best drunk black or in milk drinks.

Our take on the Eight O'Clock Coffee Dark Italian Espresso

Eight O'Clock Dark Italian Espresso is a dark-roast 100% Arabica coffee sold as whole bean or ground, with an extra-fine espresso grind. It is built for espresso machines but also works in drip brewers, and it carries chocolate and caramel notes with a bold, full-bodied profile. It is kosher and vegan, and it is a budget-friendly alternative to Italian-style espresso brands.
