Lavazza Crema e Aroma Coffee Beans (1 kg)

Nice aroma, nice taste and a lovely creamy crema.Our go to beans for many years now. Recently experimented with some stronger tasting beans from the same company and blended them for an even greater experience! On their own or with an addition makes lovely coffee. The crema is always outstanding.

The media could not be loaded. It was a recent roast date shown on the bag, so that’s a good start. I would say the coffee is slightly darker roast than many, but only a bit. It grinds well in the KINGrinder K2. The extraction is good and the crema is superb. It’s a lovely espresso, leading to a coffee as good as the high street chains. Personally I think these are as good as some artisan speciality ones I’ve tried recently. Good taste, good aroma, fresh out of the bag and good value for money. If you’ve not tried it yet, give it a go.

Really good product. Strong taste

I usually buy from specialty roasters but was running low and wanted something to tide us over. I had previously noticed a lot of coffee drinkers were buying this Lavazza variety, at least when not going to a local, artisan, roaster. So I thought, let's give it a go. The Kg price is very reasonable and with next day Prime delivery there wasn't much to lose.In fact these beans were surprisingly good overall. They were not fresh roasted (around 3 months) and the roast itself is a little dark so hints of oil are beginning to form on the surface of the bean. However, I found this coffee pretty easy to dial in on the grinder and was quickly drawing about 40 grams of espresso in the cup from 18 grams in 28 seconds, which I found to work quite well with this coffee in my espresso machine.The taste has a typically chocolate nuttiness to it but is, for me, slightly swamped by the roast itself which pronounced in Americano. However, it excel best in milky based coffee drinks and, in particular, I found it worked very well in single or double shot Cappuccino - keeping to the ratio (mentioned above). Running off 50 + grams of espresso made for a sour cup and aftertaste.Somewhat surprising also was that I didn't find the crema particularly pronounced over other 'regular' crema's, at least from my espresso machine. Overall, though, these beans are more than capable of making a very good cup of coffee (cappo, latte, flat, etc.), and certainly better than what you will find in coffee shop chains.

Makes nice espresso and milk based coffees. The bag also has a roasted on date so you can check the freshness. The bag I received was only one month old

Great everyday coffee – good value for moneyI’m very satisfied with this coffee. It offers great value for money and is perfect for everyday use. It’s a solid, reliable choice for coffee lovers who enjoy a nice cup without spending a fortune.Not overly fancy, just a good, classic coffee that does the job!

This coffee is worth the money . There is a good date on the coffee which is good . The beans are quite dark roasted and smell awesome. The coffee tastes smooth creamy and no bitter aftertaste. It’s delicious I have tried quite a few coffee beans but none match up to this I am going to stick with this in future. It’s absolutely perfect..

Perfect creamy espresso
