Definitely not for an espresso!

I was excited to try Empire since I don’t typically branch out. I was extremely disappointed both times I made an espresso with it. It was weak the 1st time so I made it stronger the 2nd time with the same results.

Very nice. Bold and smooth

I love the new Empire. I use a marzocco espresso machine and it’s lovely. Great body and perfect skin tone in the cup. What’s even better is the taste. Bold and beautifully smooth. Great work! My new standard for my machine. Thank you. Alessandro.

What I was looking for!

I was looking for an alternative to my belle espresso. This worked perfectly. The taste was surprisingly a little bit darker than it looked.
