I have had pike creek coffee elsewhere in years’ past. Fast forward: I got into espresso rabbit hole and got myself a Bambino Plus. I used pre-ground thinking it makes no difference if I grind my own (my excuse for not buying an espresso grinder). Well, I found a reasonably priced grinder (Baratza Encore ESP) and started using cheap beans from Walmart. I was blown away how much better freshly gourd espresso can be than pre-ground. Then I was told to use freshly roasted from local roasters. I’m originally from Delaware so my first thought was Pike Creek Roasters as my local roaster. It took about 4-5 days from order to arrival with free shipping. I ordered the Lazarus (medium dark for espresso). I was able to dial it in immediately. Set at 19 and it’s consistently impressive. My 17 grams yielded 34.6 g within 28 seconds. Couldn’t be happier with these beans. No more store bought beans for me. Thank you for a wonderful tasting latte every morning. I look forward to ordering on a regular basis.

BTW, there’s no roast date on the packaging. And when I emailed the company, one of the owners immediately responded to me explaining why. He reassured me that my beans were roasted fresh. The taste convinced me that it was. So much better than Italian style coffee that comes in vacuum sealed cans. Thanks, Brad.

My favorite. Consistantly delicious for any time of day!

This has been our go to coffee for the past 2+ years! Continues to be a favorite.

Great coffe

I love the coffee. Re-sealable bags would be great
