This is a great light roast coffee. Like everyone else has said, you don't get acid gut when drinking this.

With that said...the grind is VERY coarse, and does not taste that great when made in a drip coffee maker. I use this coffee in my french press. You need to let it steep a little longer than other coffees, but the result is the most amazing cup of coffee!

I'm a big fan of Lavazza. I usually drink espresso at home. I decided to buy this drip coffee for the office. Try to get a better taste than the local brands used here.
This coffee has a weird after taste. I tried to change filters, water, and coffee machine. There is some kind of sticky after taste that kills this coffee.
I will not buy drip coffee from lavazza again. I will stick to the espresso.

This is a deliciously, smooth tasting coffee. Rich flavor and no acid stomach! I've had a hard time getting it locally and Amazon has saved me!

Yes, taste may be a very individual and subjective perception. Nonetheless, I still can hardly believe that some people gave it rave reviews. This is one of tasteless and least aromatic coffee I have ever bought!

If you like this coffee, you will find Maxwell God sent.

The grind is fairly coarse so there is not a lot of extraction, use a little more coffee when you brew and you will be rewarded with a smooth, full, non acidic cup of coffee. I have been a drinker of Peet's and Starbucks for years but found the high acidity upsetting if I drank more than a cup or two. Recently a friend of mine from Germany introduced us to this coffee and we have been sold ever since. If you like a darker roast, and a coffee with a finer grind then get the expresso roast (d'Oro) we use this in our drip coffee maker as well for a different but equally non acidic cup of coffee

I agree with some of the reviewers about the coarseness of the grind and how light tasting it is. The taste is what I really like about this brand. Really a great breakfast coffee with milk and sugar. True, if you love Starbucks, than it is probably not for you. I brewed a pot and noticed how light the color appeared and thought it was not going to be good. I was wrong. In fact, I ran out and am now fiendishly craving a cup. All the other supermarket brands seem too bold tasting. The can cost me the same as Chock Full 'O' Nuts or Folgers and I prefer it. It was the red can that caught my eye, but the mellow taste that I really enjoy. Hey, if you don't like it, mail the extra to me.

I ordered this first and read reviews later, which made me think I made a bad impulse buy. Luckily, it's not nearly as bad as I thought. Some reviews say "just barely better than Folgers" and I'm here to say that's totally wrong.

This is a great breakfast coffee, particularly if you are averse to Starbucks "burnt to a crisp" beans. It would be tough to make a cup of this breakfast blend that is too strong. It's lighter, has almost no acid, and is incredibly drinkable. It's not going to take over your breakfast with its aftertaste or linger on your tongue long after you brush your teeth. Goes great with cream and sugar, but neutral enough to drink black without having it mess up your stomach.

However, it is extremely coarse. I've never seen coffee so coarse right out of the can. I haven't even tried a cup straight out of the can because it would probably not be good. That's probably where these bad reviews come from. Coarseness means less surface area on each individual coffee ground, leading to less flavor overall.

So, if you grind it for a few seconds, it is the good coffee I described. If not, you're on your own. It's annoying, since ground coffee is not supposed to take any effort, but you get a good cup of Lavazza out of it. If you bought an ala carte cup at a Lavazza store, it would cost as much as the entire can of grounds.

2 stars off for having to "fix" the coffee before you drink it, but overall, I think it's worth buying since you get high quality coffee for a low price.

It doesn't look good, it doesn't smell good, and it tastes like crap. It tastes exactly like that heavenly Chock Full o' Nuts coffee that my Grandma made back in the 70s.

This is some great coffee.
The grind is a little course for drip coffee makers but I usually brew it in a french press.

As others have reported, this is a very coarse grind coffee that takes about twice as much to create a coffee of any strength. It does not live up to the Lavazza name, being more like food-service grade. It is most certainly not a Premium coffee, as it is called. It is a light roast, but has an unpleasant, weak taste nevertheless, in addition to poor mouthfeel. Not worth the money, even when on sale. Lavazza should be selling this under a different brand name.
