When I received the first of his pocket and opened it, I was in heaven. The smell of coffee is amazing. However, the taste is not up to the smell.

Some information: I like strong coffee and can not bear the idea of putting sugar. So far I have used it in my espresso machine to make cappuccino.

Let me comment first on the foam. I expect more. From reading other reviews, I expected the thicker cream than I had ever seen. In fact, the foam is about the same as most brands of coffee that I use in my computer. Depending on how finely the coffee, I coffee as I am, and proximity to all I grind the coffee, cream, better or for worse. This mark was no significant difference.

Its taste, I find this coffee weak. It can be as straight espresso, but when I added steamed milk, it is quite liquid. I brewed alongside Costco Kirkland Espresso (Roasted Starbuck's), and the Kirkland brand is much more courageous and stronger.

So, if you are looking for a strong coffee flavor intense research, this is not the coffee for you. Rating: 5.3

I’ve used in the French press coffee-making. I rate is very good and better than the more expensive 100% Kona coffee beans. The French press coffee tastes exactly like the use of European airports, because they use the same beans. It is a question of your palate. My son calls Kona beans. I am a happy way, more at Lavazza. Compare $ 19. 09 for the second Lavazza £ 2 for $ 29 for a pound of Kona.

It is a great bean for a semi-automatic. We have a Jura-Capresso and adapt to a fine grind with the beans. The beans produce an espresso with a thick foam and smooth, almost fine chocolate. This mark is usually in a cafe in Italy and Europe.

I recently tried to “Lavazza Tierra! Espresso 100% Arabica”, which is great, but a little too sweet for me. I make a cappuccino, espresso is not, and the Super Crema is best for them. It was more caffeine then pure Arabica Earth and is more robust, more body cream and much more. In fact, the few times that I have the espresso Tierra thin as it is lighter. I use a self Pasquini Livia. My vote is for Super Crema Espresso and Cap de la Tierra (Tierra less if you just want a lighter flavor and Caffin). The set provides both. Here in the Amazon price is great.

This is an excellent espresso. I bought several packs of this coffee last year, but never tested. I use both in my coffee and my espresso machine electric stove. He was never disappointed, always great quality, excellent fresh cream and results! 5.5 stars.

Lavazza Qualita Rossa Caffe Espresso, 8 8-oz Bricks (Pack of 4)

I am a Brit currently living in Georgia and this particular Lavazza coffee is so easy to buy in the United Kingdom, but I could not find it here. Other Lavazza coffee is not the same thing, so I was delighted when I discovered it for sale through Amazon. It does not seem to be quite the same as I remember, but it is close enough that my normal coffee in the morning choice. It has a rich flavor and dark chocolate with a hint of sweetness and taste can make strong or weak and still be good. Every time I serve it to guests, they always ask me what I am drinking coffee. It is delicious and its lava December decaffeinated coffee is decaffeinated coffee was the best I’ve tried.

I lived in Europe for a year and a half, and drink a cup of coffee almost every day. I want to drink Lavazza and Illy almost exclusively. Since returning to the United States in January 2008, I drank in the normal American coffee. The Usual Suspects, Green Mountain, Starbucks, Newman’s Own, Seattle’s Best, etc. I do not remember what the taste of quality coffee, and I continued to claim that coffee they are drinking. It was not until I ordered Lavazza and brewed in my French press that I remembered what was the taste of real coffee.

This roast is almost perfect espresso. It is strong but not bitter. The taste of dark chocolate and wood smoke. And best of all is the price of the Amazon. There is simply no reason to shit American coffee. Spoil yourself and order it today. If you have a good, strong European coffee, you’ll love this. Illy is probably a little better, but at $ 13 in eighth place 8 ounces, it is simply too expensive for what you get. It’s almost as good for one third of the price.

It is very good and makes excellent espresso, especially if you use to stop an espresso machine pan. I use a 6 cup espresso machine with two teaspoons of coffee into a cup full, rounded, fat-free half and half. Yum.

It is high (of course), full-bodied and very smooth. One of the best coffee I've ever eaten and so cheap. I buy these things for years, drinking a cup or two every morning and it does not age. In fact, I'm looking forward to my coffee each morning.

I recently started to buy on Amazon, because my local World Market closed. Both of my orders so far contained a brick, which has been drilled. All the other stones were solid feel and drive, because their vacuum seal was still intact. However, it is a brick soft to the touch, because the seal had been compromised somewhere.

The first time it happened, I put it on bad luck and one of those things. However, suffered my second order the same problem. I'm not a big fan of packages pierced. On the one hand, we do not know what they have been drilled and the second, the taste is not as good because the air was in the package.

I do not know if Amazon is to receive, or as if something happened after registering their ships investment. However that is not good.

5 stars for the coffee. 3 stars for packaging less than perfect. 4 stars hotels. Rating: 5.4

Lavazza Rossa Espresso I drank for 25 years. But I still managed directly by members of the family in Italy for all the time. I was incredibly surprised that Amazon had it! My family is in Rome, and they bring it to the dozen for me. It’s so cool that I did not have to wait for my family to go to Rome to get my espresso. Amazon RULES!
