Lavazza L'Espresso Gran Aroma Whole Bean Coffee Blend, Medium Espresso Roast, 2.2-Pound Bag

This is one of the best tasting espresso coffees I've ever had. A home run in flavor. I drink a lot of espresso and I drink it black. I also buy green beans and roast my own at home, but when I do buy already roasted it's usually Lavazza because they offer the best coffee for the money in my opinion. This is one of their more expensive offerings, but is it worth it? This was on sale so I couldn't resist. I admit that I wanted to dislike it due to cost, but after my first shot...amazing. It's a beautiful coffee with a lot of aroma and a more distinctive flavor compared to other Lavazza varieties, and yes it is strong. I won't get into all the "wine-like" descriptors, I'll leave that to others. Suffice to say they are obviously using a top notch blend of arabica and robusta beans, and it has a distinctive, rich and delicious flavor. As others have mentioned, considering it's intensity is described as 10/10 and they call it a dark roast, I expected it to be darker in appearance. I'm actually glad it's not. The flavor is intense, in a good way, but it's in no way dark like something SB's sells. The bottom line, it's worth it, especially if you catch it on sale.

Very good choice

Sabor muy acaramelado, buen tostado, un 7/10 en amargo, cremoso, lo preparo con cafetera Automática y es mejor que cualquier café de cafetería o restaurant.

I Love Lavazza Caffè, and I just HAAAAAAD to try the... *Assume rapidamente un accento Italiano* Automobili Lambroghini!!! - MAMA MIA!!! VROOM!! VROOM!! Blub-Blub-Blub-Blub-Blub-Blub-Blub-Blub---VROOOOMSCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ZOOM!~heheheheh. I have been drinking and enjoying your varied roasts for almost three decades now.. So many wonderful blends.. You folks at Lavazza even inspired me to make my own home roasts, and and to even do a genuine 5 origin, 9 stage - pure dark 12/10 Napoli roast like you get only in ristoranti italiani in the US (Unless you know the right people *tugs at his left earlobe*). OMG so good!.. This Caffè begins to come veeeerrrry close to that most precious of all blends you almost can't get over here -have to do yourself models. Deathwish Coffee is still darker than this roast, though its flavor isn't nearly as good, or as smooth, and Caffè Deathwish can upset the stomach.. The Automobili Lambroghini is still.. better.. The flavor is premio superbo and low in acidity to the point that I can even drink it black, caffeine content is very good -though I still want more robusta in it. The flavor of this roast is rich and elegantly bold, yet smooth at the same time and Leagues ahead of other brands as usual. I love the fact Lambroghini sponsored this one, (Great Bag Design too --my favorite car *Frames the Bag - HAH!*), and I hope you keep the product on the shelves; I will keep buying it, and frankly.. Please make a 12/10 roast for us so I no longer have to set off the fire alarms trying to do one in my apartment here HAH!... I see... verily see... why that Perfect-Dark-Napoli roast of whch I speak is so precious.. It's hard to make and takes a lot of time, but ohhhhh how it tastes... Just one cup and you are up and going all day... two cups and you are in bed at night looking at the ceiling going "Ummmmmm That ceiling, she needs painting... Well!! *grabs the supplies* Might as well get up and do it!! HAHAHA MUWHAHAHHA!" This Wonderful Caffè comes Oh Soooo Very Close to that Divine Perfection. I was surprised how smooth was mine own Napoli roast.. and even more pleased to find that the the Automobili Lambroghini *loves saying that name* is the same. I have always said, "No one in the world knows coffee better than the Italiani.. though the South Americanos come in at a very close second". Grazie infinite.. for yet another wonderful blend Lavazza, and for keeping prices relatively down while most others go overly, unreasonably, ridiculously, ludricrously NVTZ Nuts. Y'all never dissapoint, at least not for long - heh.. From This Old Priest... Blessed Be.. All Of You...

Muy bien su empaque y sobre todo el sabor del café
