I have narrowed down my palate over the years. This is one of the few flavors I keep buying. Sumatra Mandheling, Columbian, Lavazza Oro, Lavazza Espresso are my favorites.

Worst taste of Italy...

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on 27 February 2020

Flavour Name: Crema e AromaPattern Name: CoffeeVerified Purchase

This has to be the worst coffee we have ever tasted!

We have lived in Europe and have been spoiled with great tasting coffee. It forced us to buy an expensive Italian like coffee maker with 19 bar of pressure and we also purchased a precision coffee grinder to dial in precise granules to extract the perfect brew. I will add, we have been doing this now for a couple of years with great success at the delight of our palettes. Transperantly, we have become coffee snobs and we are okay with this.

We have enjoyed fantastic coffee from Canadian roasted coffee sellers from many brands. However, over the last year we settled on on brand we believe has the best tasting coffee and always fresh. I guess because it is roasted here in BC. I might add it does not break the bank everytime we buy a 450g bag of whole bean coffee. If you have not guessed it, it is Kicking Horse.

We purchased Lavazza because we thought it might add even better taste but boy were we ever wrong. I don't know if this bag was produced a year ago or if the seal was broken or if it is a knock off but this has to be the worst tasting coffee we have ever had.

Something in my packet of beans.

For the first time, I found this lump of “thing” as I pour out my coffee beans into a container. According to my friend who is a coffee bean roaster, to quote him “its coffee bean mix with some coffee ground, oil which maybe have been expose to the direct heat or sunlight for so long” unquote.

A lesson about coffee and Lavazza to understand the review.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 18 October 2015

Flavour Name: Gran Crema EspressoPattern Name: CoffeeVerified Purchase

THE BOTTOM LINE: Gran Crema is an EXCELLENT blend of coffee to make cappuccinos and lattes, producing an incredibly velvety crema. The espresso drinker who prefers a stronger taste and full body will also certainly enjoy this roast blend.

Tastes: If everyone had the same tastes and liked the same things, there would only be one coffee in the world. Finding the "perfect" coffee is a personal decision tailored by your own taste and likes, and even then, many times you want to have something different or change, therefore in finding YOUR perfect coffee, it depends on your present tastes and moods at that one particular moment in time...which can change. My best advice is follow your feelings and have a try at different things to find NOT what you like, but what you DEFINITELY do not like. And most certainly do not buy or force yourself to like something, because others do like it or love it. Buy for you, not for them.

Coffee basics: 2 types of beans. Arabica, which have a smoother taste in general but have lighter body and make less crema, and Robusto, which make more crema and have a stronger taste and body but carry more bitterness. Plants are grown in warmer climates all around the globe, and each place yields beans with distinct flavors regardless of the same bean used. The roasting of the coffee, different machines, water quality and grind quality also add to these differences. Tamping (espresso styles) and amount of coffee makes a very minimal difference compared to all the other factors, and everyone gets the hang of it with practice (i.e. no need to focus so much on pressures and exact weight and times). WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT: the WATER!, the quality of the coffee, the right grind for the style you are making (finer for espresso and Turkish, coarser for other styles), and a good machine for that style, which is NOT synonymous with expensive (stove tops are not). You get these 4 things right, and all the other factors won't matter much, and you will have an excellent coffee every time. The water here where I live is horrible, and so was my coffee, so I had to spend quite a lot on a filtration system for the water.

Italian coffee: Our preferred styles are espresso, cappuccino, and latte (it really means milk and the original Italian name is caffè e latte, but we have dropped the "e" over time) and all are served hot. In Italy, flavors/things added to these styles are only found in places where tourists are (i.e. no creams, cinnamon, iced, etc) and most Italians do not even consider or have heard of adding anything else, other than sugar. In Italian bars (this is what we call coffee shops in Italy and why they're called baristas) ALL coffee is a blend of arabica and robusta, making them versatile. ALL bars in Italy also use whole milk, typically what we call lunga conservazione which stores at room temperature until opened (hence less refrigeration storing space needed). You might find places that use more than just whole milk in tourist areas, but is not a certainty. Whole milk froths better than other milk. Coffee is quite important in Italy, so much that the price of coffee is strictly regulated and has been, long before the owners of Starbucks were even born.

Lavazza: Most sold coffee brand in Italy. Lavazza makes 2 lines of coffee geared to the preferred Italian styles, one for home use, and one commercial, but each and every one of them is different from each other and any coffee in the home line is totally different from any one in the commercial line. The home line consists of:
1. Qualità Oro - 100% Arabica beans from a blend of Central America and African highlands. Medium roast.
2. Qualità Rossa - 70% Brasilian arabica and 30% African robusta. Medium roast.
3. Gran Aroma - 60% arabica and 40% robusta. All Brasilian. Medium roast.
4. Gran Crema - 40% South America arabica and 60% Southeast Asia robusta. Dark roast.
5. Crema e Aroma - 30% South America arabica and 70% African robusta. Medium roast.

Qualità Rossa is the most readily available in Italy and hence the less expensive and most used/sold in Italy also. Qualità Oro is aimed at espresso style, Gran Crema is aimed at cappuccino and latte styles, with Gran Bar and Qualità Rossa being more versatile. Qualità Rossa seems to most to have a balance IN TASTE (smooth vs. strong) between arabica and robusta. The entire Lavazza home line is excellent Italian roast espresso coffee but is best to stick Gran Crema (mixing) and Qualità Oro (straight) for what they're geared for, and in the proper use you will find the correct taste, smoothness, and next to no bitterness, if any at all. They are all superb for use in the right manner and none of them are oily.

About me: I definitely do not like bitter or oily coffee (all coffee is oily per se, but I do not like coffee that has a distinct film of oil on top, which you can see at an angle and which is typically bitter coffee). I prefer cappuccinos and "lattes", but regardless I like a strong taste and therefore use Gran Crema, but I do enjoy espresso also so I do use Gran Aroma, which still has enough strong taste for my cappuccinos and lattes. My family in Italy in general prefer espressos and use Qualità Oro, but also use Qualità Rossa (much much less). You will only see me at Starbucks in case of dire emergency, which translates to 3 times in 20 years (once after an 18 hour travel marathon in planes). I'm not even mentioning any other coffee places. I use a Gaggia at home and drink tea while I travel. My entire family owns Gaggias. Not because we're married to the brand, but because we have tried plenty others, but Gaggias last us much better than the rest. My mother's must be at least 30 years old. However, one glance at her stove top will convince you it was around before Metusela.

Anecdote: I was quite entertained when I learned about the craziness to obsess over tamping pressures, weighing, and stopwatches. Out of curiosity on a British espresso machine that uses no electricity or stove (but you have to have boiling water so you need it anyway), I found a video of this American guy showing the ROK coffee maker which was totally obsessed with this and I learned that it was quite common. I told my mother, who laughed, and shared it at the local bar in her neighborhood the next morning. The barista (our friend) had to call me at 4 a.m. my time (it's ok, mamma has been doing it all these years). He almost didn't believe me. I had to send him youtube links, including the ROK guy. He asked "Are they crazy? People believe we use scales and stopwatches at the bars?" About tamping he said it's common sense. It has to be compact enough so that you get the flavor out of the coffee, but not too compact that breaks the pump on the machine.

Tastes old and chemically

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on 10 June 2019

Flavour Name: Crema e AromaPattern Name: CoffeeVerified Purchase

I wanted to try these beans as usually this brand has good coffee and the value for the money is great. However; even after a fresh grind in my French press these beans taste old. There’s something weird about the taste. I checked the expiry date and that’s not the issue. The taste is almost chemically even though it’s not flavoured. I won’t be purchasing again and I would avoid if you are picky about the taste of your coffee.

One of the worst coffees that I ever tasted after recently upgraded to a high end espresso machine

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on 17 May 2020

Flavour Name: Crema e AromaPattern Name: CoffeeVerified Purchase

I have been drinking and buying this particular roasted beans from Lavazza for more than a year that were ground in my 6 year old KRUPS super automatic espresso machine (EA8250). For the longest time I have been drinking this particular medium roasted beans and frankly wasn't bothered by it because it tastes blend and watery even though I have chosen the 'strong espresso' preset to grind it. Knowingly that there was indeed a problem with my old espresso machine which couldn't properly make a 'real espresso' so I decided to upgrade a new one to replace it. I just got the "Barista Pro" from Breville. After brewing my first cup of espresso from it with the same beans that were ground in the old one. The taste was night and day. I can finally taste how truly awful or "KRUPPY" (pun intended) the beans were. It was bitter and sour with a strong note of tobacco. The bag say it indeed has a note of chocolate, dry fruits and tobacco with wood. But because the note of tobacco was so strong, I couldn't taste any note of chocolate or dry fruits as it say in the bag.
The downside with the high end espresso machine is that you can either taste a really bad cup of coffee or an extremely good cup of coffee. There's no deception there. You can say I was deceived by KRUPS for 6 long years. XD. So I'm glad that I finally splurged the money to get a really good machine that only ‘taste’ the truth. LOL!
After having opened my palette, I will definitely stay away from it!
