This Espresso is good. To me, it's very similar to the Fog Chaser. Just one tad difference. They both are Medium-Dark; however, in a different way from how I understand it. Espresso is roasted to a Medium-Dark level, but with Fog Chaser there are two different roasts that are blended - Medium beans and Dark beans. That's how I read it in the descriptions. In comparing the tastes, I find the Espresso smooth with maybe a darker more complex taste than Fog Chaser? Neither come close to a French Roast so no worries! Both are in the middle of the road coffee's. Both, a joy to drink! ~ Scott P.
