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. 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. 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). If you like espresso, this is money well spent. 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.
Back to "Creama E Gusto" The bean is a medium brown in color that is reflected in it's charater. 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.
I would recommend this Espresso to anyone who would enjoy a smooth, and aromatic blend and the Crema is the best. So you know we go through a bag in 45 to 60 days. I've given up drinking regular coffee and now either go Espresso or Cafe American. I bought a high End Gaggio Espresso machine for my wife for a special occasion last year. Buon bere. Finding the Lavazza Super Crema was the best. While searching around for espresso beans I couldn't find any that reminded me of Italy. Especially in the 2.2lbs bag.
A little goes a long way with this fine quality Imported Italian super delicious coffee. While these beans may seem a little pricey, they are well~worth the price, as the quality is excellent, delicious, smooth, non~bitter, and fragrant. PLUS you get twice the flavor and the coffee yield for the money.
I think that says it all, but feel free to read my other review. This is my 2nd order of these particular beans, and I'm getting ready to order a 3rd this week.
