Of course their Black Cat espresso is a dark roast, so the beans will be brittle, having been through the second crack, so not entirely unusual for a few broken beans. It is probably a lighter roast than most grocery store espresso/French roasts, but I actually find it too dark for my non pressurized espresso machine.
Their In Season offerings are usually quite good. I use Intelligetsia as a control. They're not the best out there, but they're consistently good.

I really enjoy Black Cat. It’s consistent and fairly easy to pull a shot. Good alternative is Onyx Monarch
