Lavazza Crema e Aroma Coffee Beans, 2.2-Pound Bag

I purchased thhis on the Gold Box Deal for only $7.50 so it was a great price. I was a little disappointed with the streanth. I like strong dark coffee and this was not. But it was good.

This is the fourth bag I've bought for my La Pavoni automatic machine. I've tried many brands but I keep returning to this. It seems to work best with my burr grinder and tastes like authentic Italian espresso. Nice crema. Other brands of "espresso" coffee beans are too oily and clog up in the hopper above the grinder and the coffee taste burnt.

First of all, on opening the bag, the beans were light brown and dry, no great aromas. I have tried to like it, but it makes horrible espresso drinks (no crema, tastes like weak cheap coffee). I will go back to San Francisco dark roast for my daily espresso drinks fix. Even though I paid over $20 for the bag, I cannot drink it.

I can't imagine any more my daily life without a cup of fresh brewed Lavazza Crema e Aroma Coffee! It is smooth, tasty & strong! It is a great start of the day or relaxing afternoon break!

I use this with my Aeropress espresso maker. Wow - super smooth and creamy, no bitterness!
