Extra Details:

What are your favorite premium or best coffee beans? Currently, I've been drinking illy dark roast. It's good, but I feel like it can be better. I know everyone has different opinions when it comes to aroma, flavor, and origin, but that's why I'd love to hear your personal takes on different beans.

Okay, real talk—the Chamberlain Coffee Organic Espresso Dark Roast is one of those rare finds that hits the sweet spot between bold and smooth. What I love most about it is that it feels like a coffee shop moment at home, minus the overpriced oat milk upcharge.

It’s got this deep, roasty flavor that actually tastes rich, not bitter. Think dark chocolate vibes with a little nuttiness, but super clean—like, no weird burnt aftertaste that some dark roasts sneak in. I use it in my espresso machine and it pulls such a silky crema, it almost feels like a reward. Especially when I’m running on 4 hours of sleep (thanks to baby twins), it’s my little moment of indulgence before the chaos begins.

Plus, I’ll admit: the packaging is cute, and it doesn’t feel like a generic grocery store brand. It feels like a treat. And since it's organic and ethically sourced, I don’t feel guilty about my 3-cup habit.

If you're a dark roast person, and you want something that feels a little luxurious without being overly fancy or intimidating—this is it.
