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

By	Amalfi Coast Girl (Mid-Atlantic, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great espresso starts with the beans, April 11, 2008

By	Utah Blaine (Somewhere on Trexalon in District 268) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Flavor! Thick Crema!! A Must For Your Super Automatic, July 27, 2007

By	A. Stagg (Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

Nice rich and assertive espresso flavor. Thick crema. Tastes like the everyday espresso you would expect to find in European bistros. I prefer this flavor over the more refined and slightly mellower Lavazza Top Class (2.2lb Bag-Beans). Both are quite tasty and not everyone likes the sharper flavor.

If you like double espresso shots, you will enjoy the way the espresso looks in clear espresso cups, like Bodum Bistro Double-Wall Insulated Glass Espresso Mug, Set of 2. Not oily, so does not clog your machine. Perfect for daily use in your Super Automatic machine. Enjoy!
