Café Bustelo Ground Coffee, Dark Roast, 6-Ounce Brick
What You Should Know
Café Bustelo Ground Coffee, Dark Roast, 6-Ounce Brick is the compact, espresso-style brick you’ll find in the coffee aisle of most American supermarkets — shelved with other ground dark roasts, near instant coffee, single-serve pods, espresso blends, filters and creamers. Its small, dense 6‑ounce pack is often stocked at eye level for grab-and-go shoppers and appears near Latino/ethnic brand displays in some stores. This product suits morning rituals and quick at-home espressos, weekend brunches where a bold pot is welcome, and storm- or travel-prep lists because of its long shelf life and compact size. Café Bustelo’s brand positioning leans into a cultural association with Latin American and Caribbean espresso traditions: affordable, no‑frills, and intensely flavored — marketed to working‑class households and anyone seeking a strong, authentic cup without specialty coffee pricing. The label reads simple and straightforward; claims center on purity and flavor rather than health halos — there’s no kid‑targeted artwork, no “natural” or organic certification on the pack. In processing terms this is a minimally processed product: coffee beans have been roasted and ground, with no additives. Sensory notes emphasize a dark roast profile — a robust, smoky aroma, full-bodied and slightly bitter on the palate, with a fine to medium grind that produces a dense, syrupy cup in espresso-style makers or a bold brew in drip or stovetop pots. The brick packaging is easy to store and slice open for measured scoops, and the product lives in everyday rituals from breakfast counters to late-night strong cups shared at kitchen tables.
