REVIEWS & COMMENTS
AN EXCELLENT COFFEE!
Son Ton | Tue, 06/19/2012 - 23:56This is an excellent italian style of roast coffee. It is good enough to drink it straight and in fact this was blended for straight espresso drinking. It will require a bit of temperature controlling to bring out the best taste but it is worth it for sure. Also, note that the new size is 12 ounces not one full pound like previously.
AMAZINGLY SMOOTH AND RICH
darch711 | Sat, 06/16/2012 - 16:04Amazingly smooth and rich flavor.
VIVACE ESPRESSO DOLCE COFFEE
don9 | Thu, 06/07/2012 - 08:19I've been drinking Vivace Espresso for over 20 years. It is the best espresso I have found any where. Nothing else comes close. It keeps my La San Marco 85 very happy.
DOLCE, SMOOTH AND CHOCOLATEY
chanlh | Sun, 06/03/2012 - 15:19Very good roast. It's very smooth and chocolatey as an espresso shot, following other's guidelines of 18-19g @ 203F in a double basket. It performs great in milk drinks with about 8-10oz to balance out the intensity of the espresso itself. I also brewed it using a Clever Coffee Dripper and produced good results, more mellow, but same great flavors as espresso. I didn't taste much of any acidity in either brewing method. If your taste buds tend towards more to bitters, chocolate, and caramel flavors, this roast is exceptional.

KATWILLDAN | Thu, 05/24/2012 - 17:30Coffee beans came fresh and strong. I just didn't care for the lingering after taste.
WOW!
msredfearn | Thu, 05/10/2012 - 13:21Vivace's Dolce blend is so perfect! We love espresso shots and this makes amazing smooth crema with our new machine!
Love love it!
PERFECT EVERY TIME !!!
ncworkinman | Thu, 05/10/2012 - 12:57Just simply perfect every roast !!!! Wonderfully packaged to protect the roast and aroma. Beautiful Crema and absolutely enjoyable taste. Every note complimented the other's ... I quickly found myself running out and needing to restock !!!

DOLCE COFFEE
rtamb | Thu, 03/15/2012 - 20:18I love this coffee it is my favorite. It was shipped and arrive in 4 days. you guys are great! your prices are lots better than other
coffee on line latta companies. The coffee is excellent! Lots of creama and no bitter taste with a hint of chocolate.
I have a gaggia unica that is an automatic and it makes the perfect expresso and it taste great with milk to for a latta.
Had this coffee in 2008 and had to do some digging to remember it. Glad it has a unique name so I was able to find it.
Would highly recommend 5 stars!
NEVER DISAPPOINTS!
crucedesign | Tue, 03/13/2012 - 17:12I love Vivace...still holds a special place in my heart after I have tried over 15 different other espresso blends and single origins. The taste is very distinct but not overpowering. It does a great job holding up to milk as well! I can wait to try this in my new ZPM Espresso machine coming in a few weeks!!
EASY ESPRESSO
LJ Coffee | Fri, 03/09/2012 - 19:13I really enjoy this blend. I have ordered it several times as it was my go to blend, meaning I would try several other blends and then go back to this. I found that this blend was easy to freeze and keep on hand when I ran out of other beans.
10 X BETTER THAN STARBUCKS
scmunkers | Fri, 03/09/2012 - 14:33This Espresso is amazing!! I have completely given up on Starbucks and now make my own lattes and iced coffees at home. This has a wonderful flavor and has a nice rich cream at the top after brewing. Perfect!!
EXCELLENT, BUT ALSO FIRST
kc2dpt | Tue, 03/06/2012 - 23:53This was my first order from roaste, and it has been excellent, but is that because it is truly the best roaste has to offer or are there tasty surprises yet to come? I don't know. Can I remove stars later? I don't know. But still, the cups I've pulled form these beans have been excellent. No complaints here. My wife has been loving it too.
OK
missmandyrichards22 | Thu, 03/01/2012 - 09:52i personally wasnt a huge fan. its had a good silky texture to the drink, but i didnt really care for the taste. i used it in a french press. maybe its better suited for other methods.
VIVACE ESPRESSO DOLCE
kschlage | Tue, 02/28/2012 - 11:43This is the best latte bean I have found. Deep, chocolate caramel flavor.
OH MY...!
Aaron McCarty | Thu, 02/02/2012 - 01:07Wow-zers, this stuff is amazing. Super smooth and creamy, I'm a huge fan. Very rich and appropriately strong, this bean and it's complementary roast are a fan-favorite around these parts. A+ espresso.
VERY NICE!
bdcline | Wed, 01/11/2012 - 13:33Not much to add to the large number of favorable reviews, other than to echo that this is a very nice, very smooth espresso. Also great that it ships in two 8oz. bags. A nice touch!
GREAT TASTE, GREAT COLOR.
nyemt33 | Thu, 12/29/2011 - 21:37Great espresso taste flavor, good as espresso or latte. Great color and crema that will add to any latte art.
very quick service. nice 2 1/2lb sealed bags.
VIVACE ESPRESSO DOLCE
yeahyeah | Tue, 12/27/2011 - 15:45Dark chocolate and a little bit of a spicy aftertaste that lingers. I dosed 18 grams into my Gaggia Classic and did my best to go for a hotter extraction. Dolce seemed to be more picky than other blends but it was great when I got it right. Apparently this blend is designed to stand alone but I really enjoyed it in milk drinks as well. I love the packaging too- the two resealable 8 oz. bags with one way valves are great.
MY FAVORITE
Juno | Tue, 12/20/2011 - 15:39I love Vivace's Dolce. I've been drinking it for years. I've tried other beans, but I always seem to come back to Dolce. Dolce results in an espresso that is very smooth with hints of chocolate.
GOOD BUT MAYBE NOT FOR EVERYONE
samuellaw178 | Mon, 12/05/2011 - 19:40After spending about 2 weeks with Dolce, it seems like Dolce's a very low toned "dark chocolate" profile. There's almost no/very little hint of fruitiness, with an evident presence of Sumatra earthiness, even pulled at ristretto range, after many days of rests. However, the body with the crema and sweetness are just fantastic. The color of the crema was rusty red which is just beautiful. The only reason it didn't get a 5 cup from me was because of the earthiness that I dislike in my espresso shots. I have no problem accepting that in brewed coffee though, or little hint of earthiness in shot. But because the intensity of the earthiness made me felt like I am tasting Sumatras. It would be greater if the earthiness was less pronounced.
It does a good job in milk drink though.
TASTES AS AMAZING AS IT SMELLS!
UberEclectic | Sun, 11/27/2011 - 22:34Best beans at any price. These beans are always the same, consistently delicious, flavorful and rich tasting and roasted just to the point of perfection.
VIVACE DOLCE
ewelch | Thu, 11/17/2011 - 15:36Very smooth, good with or without milk, will order again. Like the double bags as well.
UNMEMORABLE COFFEE
echien | Sat, 11/12/2011 - 20:46I found this was really an unmemorable coffee. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it.
THE COFFEE SEEMED A LITTLE
chris.ruland | Tue, 11/08/2011 - 09:55The coffee seemed a little over roasted, as there was slightly too much bitterness in the finish, but overall it was a good one. Probably would prefer a lighter roast for espresso but I would get it again.
YUM.
lesliejillatkins | Wed, 10/26/2011 - 20:15I lived in Seattle for 4 years and this was my favorite espresso. Happy to have it delivered - incredibly fresh - to my door.
VIVACE ESPRESSO DOLCE
paul.nibber | Tue, 10/25/2011 - 12:27Perhaps one of the best blends to drink in a cappuccino. This espresso is sweet, and I mean that very literally. If you pull this shot correctly, you should be tasting coffee, chocolate, and caramel. That said, I wish it were a bit more complicated on the palette. For what it is, though, it may just be the best.
JUST HAD AN AWESOME CAP OF
broseph | Sun, 10/23/2011 - 07:48Just had an awesome cap of this
SMOOTHEST AMERICANO!
martin1376 | Mon, 10/17/2011 - 22:16Vivace delivers again!
This makes the the best espresso & smoothest americano I have ever had,
with the right balance of sweetness, bitterness and great crema!
VIVACE ESPRESSO DOLCE
djsenatore | Fri, 10/07/2011 - 07:02I do like this espresso and would recommend it to anyone. It's good as a stand alone or in a cappuccino. The only issue I have is that the packaging does not retain its vacuum seal which is desirable for longer freshness before opening.
THE BEST I EVER TASTED
domoo3 | Thu, 10/06/2011 - 00:39I have visited Vivace in Seattle and I liked, well pretty much everything. I bought two pounds from there and when I came home I got used to the real deal, so nothing satisfied me. Great crema, balanced flavor. The only espresso I could drink without milk. Cheers everybody
NICE BEAN!
Chadall2002 | Mon, 10/03/2011 - 06:18Once you actually dial in, these beans deliver some of the best crema ever!
Espresso itself is darn good, hard to beat! Flavor is excellent once you get dialed in.
EXPRESSO DOLCE
portman.steve | Mon, 09/26/2011 - 11:31Brewed on an Ascasso Professional with PID. Set temperature: 205F, falling to 196F by conclusion.
Smooth, full-bodied with a more mellow finish than the Expesso Vita. Deeper 3D experience compared to Klatch house expresso.
VERY GOOD COFFEE
jkhazano | Sat, 09/24/2011 - 12:23Very good coffee
FANTASTIC COFFEE
smerysmd | Thu, 09/22/2011 - 11:18I have always been an Illy coffee drinker, but got very tired of the ever increasing price, and small volume for the price per can. Then I discovered Vivace. Move over Illy, I am in love with this coffee its a fantastic cup of Joe.
GREAT!
vghozlan | Fri, 09/16/2011 - 12:42A friend made me a latte with this coffee...it was great!
WOW! JUST WOW!
SNCollin | Wed, 09/14/2011 - 16:27I have never made a better espresso than with these beans. Taste is bold with a definitive chocolaty finish. Crema is nice and thick, but not too foamy. I have tried it as a straight shot, in a latte, an americano and a cappuccino. Absolutely going to buy this again.
VIVACE DOLCE
vulches | Mon, 09/12/2011 - 23:48I did not enjoy these beans as much as I had hoped, but it could take some more dialing in before I get the best experience. The smell of the whole beans is not great, and neither is the extracted espresso. The taste improved remarkably about 7 days after roast and is still pretty solid now at 13 days past roast. I can appreciate that!
VIVACE ESPRESSO DOLCE COFFEE
bodyworks1 | Wed, 09/07/2011 - 07:47OK, a little pricey by coffee standards, but I always have a new bean first as an espresso to see the taste quality on its own. The Vivace is beautiful, nice crema, very tasty. Some darker chocolate taste, with a bit of almond, cinnamon and spice. Great for cappucinos and lattes, and I will definitely buy this one again!
VIVACE ESPRESSO DOLCE COFFEE
bruk111 | Tue, 09/06/2011 - 15:43Recently bought a new Gaggia academia machine and three of the highest rated coffees from this site. This is my favorite of the three. Very smooth, lots of complex flavor notes, like the chocolatey after taste. Definitely a winner. Works great with my new super auto espresso machine.
DOLCE
dpablo19 | Mon, 09/05/2011 - 04:12This was one of the first third wave blends I tried on my equipment (which at the time was a Nuova SImonelli Oscar and a La Pavoni Jolly). The result was a sweet shot that is reminiscent of a lot of other blends that attempt to mimic Northern Italian espresso. I enjoyed it as a cappuccino, but any nuance to this blend was lost in a latte. It was defined by its dark chocolate accents.
GREAT COFFEE!!!
joceravolo | Mon, 08/29/2011 - 12:43I love this coffee. The aroma and taste is excellent.
It's the preferred coffee at home.
REALLY NICE
d.fi.gravity | Mon, 08/29/2011 - 11:33I started using a cold brew method to make my own coffee since I only drink it iced. I had been experimenting with a number of roasts. I bought this because I had a gift certificate, and it didn't disappoint. I thought it was rich, well-balanced, and just perfect for what I needed. My purchase came in individual, sealed bags (I think I ended up with 6 total). I kept one out at a time and place the remaining bags in a freezer zip-loc bag and placed THAT inside a paper bag, and stored it all in the freezer until needed. Just opened the last bag last night, and the aroma and taste were still right there. Great coffee.
SUPERB!
EricBNC | Sat, 08/27/2011 - 15:53Very nice coffee here - thick crema from day 5 (and counting) with my Gaggia. I notice I had to move my grinder two notches coarser to get the flow I like since I have been loading light roast S.O.'s lately. The taste is smooth with excellent body and a dark chocolate and nut taste going on. Easy to work with, seems to get better every day so I am not sure when it peaks - I am eleven days post roast as I type this. I do like the split bags too - one is in the freezer so I can enjoy this taste again in a couple weeks!
ABOVE AVRAGE
caytonart | Wed, 08/24/2011 - 08:19This is a pretty good expresso coffee. I also mixed it with my favorite breakfast coffee which I make in a french press and it added a little zest to it.
GREAT AS ESPRESSO OR WITH MILK
delaroast | Sun, 08/07/2011 - 13:04I just bought a new machine and have only had 2 different roasters so far. The Vivace Espresso Dolce has been great. Not one sour shot yet. I like that they still give you a pound rather than 12 ounces.
GOOD BUT NOT MEMORABLE.
jdonnelly.or | Sun, 07/31/2011 - 23:06This was well-balanced and enjoyable, but nothing that knocked our socks off. Maybe look for something with a little more kick next time.
REALLY SMOOTH AND PLEASANTLY
carrieann2 | Sun, 07/17/2011 - 16:40Really Smooth and Pleasantly Dark, not bitter
DELICIOUS!
cmedvedev8 | Thu, 07/07/2011 - 11:51I found this espresso to be extremely rich and flavorful, without tasting burnt or acidic. Smooth as silk. Love it.
GREAT TASTING COFFEE. IT
anguiano | Fri, 06/24/2011 - 09:26Great tasting coffee. It took me a long time to dial it in, but when I did it was worth it!
