5.0 out of 5 stars If you love rich flavorful coffee try this, April 24, 2006

If you love Italian dark roast coffee, this is a very enjoyable coffee. I began drinking this coffee years ago in Italy. I love the crema that forms on the top of the cup, just like being back in Italy. I do use a super automatic espresso machine (see my Saeco Magic Comfort review). So I don't know for certain that it will do the same thing in a drip coffee maker. I do recommend this coffee to anyone that enjoys a very flavorful cup of coffee.

If you are concerned about caffeine and think you should avoid the espresso roast, think again. Espresso roast coffee has less caffeine due to the longer roasting process. If this is new information for you check the Internet, this is well documented. I was surprised, and the thrilled, when I saw this information. Just to be certain the information was valid, I did confirm this with a nutritionist friend. If caffeine was the reason you avoided dark roast coffee, there is a new reason to enjoy it now.

If you normally drink a mild coffee this might not be the best choice for you. However, if you like dark roast, I highly recommend this coffee.

No need for a detailed review, these beans make great espresso. I have a Gaggia Classic espresso maker and a Krups burr grinder to grind the beans, and this trio (Lavazza Super Crema Beans + machine + grinder) makes fantastic espresso every time. The crema is perfect, there is not the slightest hint of bitterness. My only warning about these beans is that if you own an espresso maker at home, you should be real careful buying these beans as you may find yourself going crazy making espressos. These beans consistently make an espresso that is as good or better than anything I've found commercially in the US (and I'm not going to rant about the coffee beverage that Starbucks sells as espresso and puts in a paper cup). This bag of espresso beans is definitely more expensive than what you can find in the grocery store (or elsewhere), but this is a case of you get what you pay for. If you like espresso, this is money well spent.

This coffee was recommended by a coffee addict with broad experience. It is the favorite coffee in our house. It is very a smooth-tasting brew. LaVazza is not available in our area, so the internet is our best means of getting it. It shipped/arrived very quickly, and it's worth the effort to order online.
