Question 1

Is this 100% arabica?

Accepted Answer

The label says "pure coffee", no claim that it's 100% Arabica, but if you know anything about coffee and espresso, you shouldn't care.
If it contains some Robusta that's a good thing.  Robusta in small amounts adds mouthfeel, crema and caffeine to coffee & espresso.  Having drunk quite a bit of this and other Gavina family coffees, I can assure you that if there is Robusta in it, it is in very small amounts.
This is, for the price, phenomenal coffee.  It does not have that 'fresh from the local roaster' aromatic quality because it's pre-ground and vacuum packed, but it also does not cost $20 per lb like the beans from the local roaster.  This pencils out to well under $5 per lb, which is 1/3 to 1/4 the price of local roast, char-bucks, etc.  Cafe Cubano is a very strong cafe au lait with a lot of sugar added.  Boom.  If you're adding a lot of steamed milk and sugar to your coffee then you're wasting your money buying Gucci fresh roasted coffee.
This coffee is ground to the perfect size for moka pots.  I can tell you this- this coffee vs. Lavazza, there is no contest.  Lavazza is undrinkable, Cafe La Llave is delicious, and a fraction the price.

Question 2

Has anyone out there compared this to cafe bustelo or pilon?  if so, how does it stack up?

Accepted Answer

I always drank Bustelo. I ordered a box from Abuelo Mami and they included a block of Cafe La Llave. I tried it and it was so good. The smell is great. I've tried Bustelo, Pilon, Cafe Rico Rico, Yaucono, and some more. We drink coffee daily. Cafe La Llave is my new go to coffee.

Question 3

Why can't i oder la llave coffee and get it the next day

Accepted Answer

I do not know.  I make sure to order well before I run out.  Works for me!

Question 4

is the green de caffeinated ?

Accepted Answer

Hello, 
The green is not decaffeinated, the orange packaging is. The two item numbers are: B07NGX56ZV or B07N5Y6R62. If you copy those into the toolbar, you will find decaf. 
We have been roasting coffee for 50 years and when we started packaging in green, it was prior to manufacturers using green for decaf. The green package has become a staple for many customers so, we have chosen to not change our packaging. Hope this helps!
