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.

I bought a high End Gaggio Espresso machine for my wife for a special occasion last year. While searching around for espresso beans I couldn't find any that reminded me of Italy. Finding the Lavazza Super Crema was the best. Especially in the 2.2lbs bag. So you know we go through a bag in 45 to 60 days. I've given up drinking regular coffee and now either go Espresso or Cafe American.

I would recommend this Espresso to anyone who would enjoy a smooth, and aromatic blend and the Crema is the best. Buon bere.

One of the best choices, if you have a super automatic coffee maker, the beans are close to perfection! Thick crema, great taste!

While these beans may seem a little pricey, they are well~worth the price, as the quality is excellent, delicious, smooth, non~bitter, and fragrant. PLUS you get twice the flavor and the coffee yield for the money. A little goes a long way with this fine quality Imported Italian super delicious coffee!!

This is my 2nd order of these particular beans, and I'm getting ready to order a 3rd this week. I think that says it all, but feel free to read my other review...

Being a long time consumer of Lavazza Creama E Gusto which I find most enjoyable, I thought I'd give Super Creama a try.Very disapointing on flavor and fullness. For a latte I find it necessary to double the quantity in the basket and cut the milk by 80-90% so instead of a 10 oz
double, it's a single shot expresso with a dash of milk. The bean is a medium brown in color that is reflected in it's charater. Back to "Creama E Gusto"

Disappointing taste, disappointing response by seller. Opened the 2-lb. bag of beans, and there was no aroma. Made my cappuccino & my husband's black espresso: no pleasing flavor, in fact unpleasant flavor. Tried again, to be certain. Not good! Mailed entire bag back at my expense, as no answer via phone on Friday evening & wanted to get it over and done with. Received call a few days later from a rude and insulted rep. who chastised me for returning without authorizarion. The policy is no returns on coffee. Refused me a credit or even in-house credit. I let my platinum credit card handle it, the seller has the coffee beans and my money!
