Lavazza Espresso Italiano

I love Lavazza coffee beans but have become so expensive over the last few years. Constantly rising too. Had on subscription for years but recently cancelled as trying to find a less expensive source or alternative. Lovely cup of coffee, smooth and flavoursome.

Ground using a DF54 and shot pulled on a sage dual temp pro w/temp surfing. Results are (in my opinion) as good as freshly roasted Italian beans from a certain online retailer, but these lavazza beans are about 35% cheaper per kg. I've tried them in an opus grinder with much worse results (sour, even after multiple attempts to dial in properly), but then the fresh roast beans are also not as good in the opus grinder. To summarise, these beans are very good but you need a decent grinder to get the best out of them.

Illy or Lavazza coffee beans really like them we tried the Lavazza for something different and we are impressed, like the taste and for me as a espresso lover they are great

Good coffee. but have had better. For the price the coffee is ok If you want better you will have to pay more.

After using various fresh roast coffee bean subscriptions over a number of years, I decided to see what the off the shelf offerings were like. I've since tried all of Lavazza's varieties, plus Illy, Kimbo, SF Bay, Taylor’s, the big high street chain brands and pretty much every other bean I've found on supermarket shelves. These beans (Espresso Italiano Classico) are the stand out best and the closest I've found to my favourite fresh beans. For espresso (18g in 36g out) on my Rancilio machine, the flavour is perfect. Strong in rich and well-rounded flavour without the overbearing bitterness of Rosso beans. I mostly drink flat whites and this is the perfect strength to cut through the milk with bold coffee flavour. These beans also work incredibly well in Espresso Martini – a drink that is extremely sensitive to bad espresso, which can’t be fixed by simply using less. It took a long time to find off the shelf beans that work! The only downside is the beans aren’t particularly amazing for cafetiere use. If that’s your main style then the extra punch of Rosso beans may be preferable. I normally make 2 double espressos per day and the 1Kg bags last a month. This works out roughly half the cost of the cheapest subscription I had before. I’ve been through 4 bags of this so far and every bag has arrived in perfect condition, with a very long expiry date. Once opened I split the beans across 2 Airscape containers and there is very little degradation in quality, only requiring 1 or 2 finer grind adjustments to keep the extraction on point.

Made a decent cup of coffee

The best coffee is the only one I drink

Perfecto

Supeme quality 100% recomended

Pero después de probarla he vuelto a mi Bonca

Bardzo dobra kawa

Die Bohne, angeblich eine 100% Arabica Medium gegöstet sollte ein Garant für vollen und nicht bitteren Geschmack sein. Ich habe alles versucht: Malhgrad, Temperatur, Malmenge, Wassermenge in allen Variationen ausprobiert mit einer Sage BaristaPro. Ich behersche diese Maschine ziemlich gut. Nach ca. 50 Bezügen habe ich es aufgegeben. Egal was ich mache, der Espresso schmeckt extrem bitter/sauer/ranzig. Er ist wirklich ungenießbar. Ich habe bisher bei fast jedem Kaffee über 15 Euro mit der Maschine akzeptable bis sehr gute Ergebnisse erzielt. Mit diesem Kaffee keine Chance. Das einzige, was sich mir noch erklären kann ist, das nicht das drin war was draufstand. Kommentare gerne wilkommen, weil ich mir nicht vorstellen kann das Lavazza so ein schlechtes Produkt hat.

very nice quality and taste
