It is very a smooth-tasting brew. This coffee was recommended by a coffee addict with broad experience. It is the favorite coffee in our house. 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.
Disappointing taste, disappointing response by seller. Mailed entire bag back at my expense, as no answer via phone on Friday evening & wanted to get it over and done with. who chastised me for returning without authorizarion. bag of beans, and there was no aroma. Refused me a credit or even in-house credit. Made my cappuccino & my husband's black espresso: no pleasing flavor, in fact unpleasant flavor. Opened the 2-lb. Received call a few days later from a rude and insulted rep.
Tried again, to be certain. Not good. The policy is no returns on coffee. I let my platinum credit card handle it, the seller has the coffee beans and my money.
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. No need for a detailed review, these beans make great espresso. 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). 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. 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.
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"
So you know we go through a bag in 45 to 60 days. While searching around for espresso beans I couldn't find any that reminded me of Italy. I bought a high End Gaggio Espresso machine for my wife for a special occasion last year. I've given up drinking regular coffee and now either go Espresso or Cafe American. Finding the Lavazza Super Crema was the best. Especially in the 2.2lbs bag. I would recommend this Espresso to anyone who would enjoy a smooth, and aromatic blend and the Crema is the best. Buon bere.
