 Mmmm. January 3, 2009
I've been buying Illy Medium Roast espresso and decided to try something new. Lavazza is the winner! I have been ordering it from Amazon for months now. The 4-pack is a great deal. Nice flavor, not too bold or bitter, even a little sweet? Perhaps I am not equipped to describe it as a coffee connoisseur, but I do know it makes my mornings a little better!
Good Espresso December 5, 2008
I been using pods from Starbucks and could never get a really good crema and decided to give this a try. I must say, it is very good, not too bitter. The crema is excellent on the Delonghi EC155 Espresso Maker. Once the can is opened, we put it in the freezer to keep it fresh. We use the Starbucks pods on the weekday for convenience and Lavazza on the weekend.

I'm reading the other reviews and I'm quite shocked!!!
This is absolutely one of the best commercial coffee blends you can find out there. not too bitter not to sweet, excellent crema, delightful!
I have a Gaggia espresso machine, I drink it every morning and occasionally make cappuccino to my guests, they all L-O-V-E it.
Warmly recommended, light years better than the sour-greasy-burnt American coffee (Starbucks, Seattle's Best, Peet's etc...)

I bought this as a gift subscription for my daughter and her husband who like a strong flavorful coffee.
This is what she said "Hi Dad, I am sorry to say this but the new coffee is awful. It tastes like watery boiled green beans. Can we send it back?"
So, be warned, just because it says it's "Italian" doesn't mean it will be flavorful. I'll have to get it replaced now. Disappointed.
 Great for coffee, less so for espresso. October 13, 2008

I normally buy my beans from a local roaster, but after seeing this on a gold box deal I decided to try it. Since its in cans, I figured it could make a good substitute when I run out of fresh beans.
The can says it can be used as "coffee" or "espresso" with some guidance on how to use it for each of those. I've tried both.
Made in a regular coffee machine, you use half of what you normally would. Its already ground (and superfine), so its easy to use. The coffee is rich and never bitter. Very pleasant. I like it.
However, as espresso, its not so good. I've tried it from 2 different cans and the espresso has an off flavor. Granted, I usually use beans that were roasted "recently" (often, they were roasted the day I bought them, and used about 2 weeks later) and then I grind them immediately before making espresso. So it could be that I'm used to better beans, but, this is so-called premium so I don't think my high expectations were foolish. The lavazza espresso had very little crema and a licorice aftertaste that was not advertised and not welcome.
I've since read other reviews of other lavazza roasts and this licorice taste is obviously common with them. I'm not a big fan of licorice.
Anyway at around $10/lb "normal price", the price is higher than my local roaster charges per pound. I would not buy this product unless its on sale.
