Paladino is on the subtler scale, but doesn't skip on flavor and complexity. Stood up well on its own and in a latte. It actually was quite delicious. This is a quality product worth buying.

I like this bean, it will be on my reorder list definitely!

Although I can get fresh espresso beans here in Southern Oregon within days of roasting from my local coffee roaster. I still opt for Zoka's Paladino Blend. I don't buy large amounts because I prefer to use beans when they are at their sweet spot (one week after roasting). So I order every two weeks. Shipping is a bummer but the upside is I pull the most amazing shots layered with flavor. Even amounts of Chocolate and fruit notes. Smooth, sweet and fruity at the same time. The Best! A Must Try, especially for the "at home espresso Barista."

Lives up to everything I read about it. Very tasty and I'm enjoying my cappuccinos and lattes more than ever. It's the one I've been looking for. I'll be back for more!

I think I've found my favorite espresso. Once I got my machine calibrated with the first bag, it was happiness from then on out. I use this primarily for dry flavored lattes, and it's excellent with more or less milk. It's strong enough to stand through the milk, but not smoky and burnt. As straight espresso it's smooth and easy to drink. The crema it produces is beautiful, and I am pleased to say that this will be my go to for a long time to come. I don't feel like it's strong caffeine-wise, and I feel like that's a plus. Other roasters try to sneak Robusta in to up the amperage, but this is 100% Arabica. This way, a caffeine sensitive person like myself can drink more and still go to bed. Yay!

This is my new favorite coffee. It tastes as great as it smells, soft hints of chocolate. I love the less oily beans for my machine! Must try!

In all honesty, I ordered them to get over the limit for the $5 off coupon when getting the froth to perfection pitcher (which is also great). I was pleasantly surprised by one of the best coffee experiences I've had outside of a Seattle or European coffee shop. Highly recommend them and will buy them again. They are not oily espresso beans, like the big chain beans, and will make my superautomatic espresso machine go much longer between time-consuming cleanings. Highly recommend.

this is a great espresso blend - not over-roasted like the big national chain, and always delivered fresh. wife even uses it for drip

I have always used espresso beans that were oily.Since oily beans are not recommended I tried the Zoka Paladino blend! Great taste , will order these again

This is a must have in a coffee collection, the taste was smooth and sweet.... I love it  I highly recommend it!

This is a coffee that I will continue to buy The flavor is outstanding very smooth and rich

Kat and Gail used this Zoka favorite in a machine review. It's an absolutely fantastic bean & roast. It's my favorite bean in almost 30 years of strictly espresso. I'm a home roaster and hope to achieve this quality, just a beautiful job.

Zoka has nailed it when it comes to Paladino, it's wonderful. I've been using it for years and the consistancy is spot on. Thank you Seattle Coffee Gear for carrying Zoka's coffees.
