Lavazza Crema e Aroma Coffee Beans, 2.2-Pound Bag

When it comes to espresso coffee it's all about authentic aroma and flavor. Lavazza is a good coffee but not the best. Sip it and try the after taste test. Then sip Illy,
compare the after taste test,....see the difference..??
Of course you 'll be a much better judge if you know espresso, not if you are the occasional user.

I was expecting a tastier coffee. This one is kinda flat and I just can't drink it as is. It's quite better when blended with a real dark roast coffee.

use Lavazza coffee with a Capresso Coffee maker; excellent smooth flavor, not bitter at all; the more you use the stronger it gets without any bitterness; you can drink this straight without any sugar or cream; it does not taste like star*

I knew I was in trouble with this coffee as soon as I opened the bag - beans were medium brown and dry, not that dark, lustrous finish I was looking for. I have tried several coffees from Amazon searching for a less expensive and more politically correct alternative to Starbuck's French Roast - Jeremiah's Pick Fogbuster, Rocamojo French Roast, Java Trading Co. Seattle Dark Roast. The Lavazza was by far the worst of these coffees - weak and tasteless. Rocamojo French Roast came the closest, but not quite there. Fogbuster wasn't too bad. Java Trading was in last place until I tried the Lavazza. Should have known better than to buy a grocery store-type bean. Lesson learned...not too expensive a lesson since it was on promotion.

This is hands-down one of the best coffee's on the market! It has a wonderful flavor with no bitter aftertaste!
