A Sip of Italian Sophistication
As a coffee enthusiast who’s always on the hunt for the perfect brew, I recently decided to give Lavazza Crema E Gusto Whole Bean Coffee a try, and I must say, it’s been quite the journey for my taste buds! First Impressions Upon opening the 1 kg bag, I was immediately struck by the rich, inviting aroma that wafted out. The dark, oily beans promised a full-bodied experience, and I couldn’t wait to grind them up and get brewing. The Taste Experience From the very first sip, it was clear that this blend means business. The full-bodied flavor hits you right away, with a creamy texture that coats your palate. What really sets this coffee apart, though, are the intriguing spicy notes that dance on your tongue. It’s not overpowering, but rather a subtle complexity that keeps you coming back for more. Versatility One of the things I appreciate most about this coffee is its versatility. While it shines as an espresso, producing a beautiful crema, it’s equally at home in a variety of preparations. I’ve experimented with everything from Americanos to cappuccinos, and the Crema E Gusto holds its own every time. The Blend Lavazza has done an excellent job balancing the flavors in this blend. The combination of Brazilian Arabica with African and Indonesian Robusta coffees creates a harmonious mix of sweet and spiced notes. It’s a testament to Lavazza’s 125 years of coffee-blending expertise. Value for Money At first glance, the price might seem a bit steep, but when you consider the quality and quantity you’re getting, it’s actually quite reasonable. The 1 kg bag lasts a good while, even for a daily coffee drinker like myself. Room for Improvement While I thoroughly enjoy this coffee, it’s worth noting that it might not be for everyone. Some may find the dark roast a bit too intense, and others might prefer a more pronounced acidity. Additionally, if you’re used to single-origin light roasts, the robustness of this blend might take some getting used to. Final Thoughts Overall, Lavazza Crema E Gusto is a solid choice for those who appreciate a full-bodied, creamy dark roast with a hint of spice. It’s a versatile coffee that can be enjoyed throughout the day, whether you’re kickstarting your morning or winding down in the evening. Is it the best coffee I’ve ever had? Perhaps not. But it’s certainly become a staple in my kitchen, offering a reliable and enjoyable cup every time. If you’re looking to explore the world of Italian coffee, this authentic blend from Lavazza is definitely worth a try.

Lavazza Crema e Gusto Whole Bean Coffee
If you've been messing around with 100% Arabica blends and wondering why your espresso looks thin, this is your solution. This blend is an absolute powerhouse. The Robusta kick is exactly what gives your shot that beautiful, persistent crema—it’s thick, golden, and looks professional, even on my modest home machine. It also delivers a caffeine punch that feels less like a gentle morning wake-up and more like an immediate, firm suggestion to get things done. The taste is what I'd call aggressively Italian. It’s strong, has a lovely chocolatey base, and holds its flavor perfectly through milk if you’re making lattes. If you prefer a lighter, fruity profile, this probably isn't your bag. But if you want a bold, reliable, high-octane espresso, this 2.2 lb bag is unbeatable for the price. My productivity loves it, my heart rate respects it. Five stars.

At last, I have found you!
My previous fav was Gran Selezione which is discontinued. That was a tasty coffee. After trying several others I discovered this one. This one scratches that itch. It isn't exactly the same as Gran Selezione but it's quite close - close enough to make me want it again...and again. I like it...a lot. It isn't bitter but it has bite. It isn't too smooth but it's very smooth. It has good crema but that factor is unimportant to me. I tried Barista Gran Crema Whole Bean, Super Crema Whole Bean, Perfetto Ground Coffee Blend, Espresso Whole Bean Medium Roast, Qualità Oro Ground Coffee and many others and THIS one is a satisfying keeper. I use this in my Breville Bambino and I ground it a bit fine. The right grind makes a difference in the flavor intensity. I have yet to try the Forte' version of this but this one is really a good one for me.

Great for standard coffee, terrible in an espresso machine
We love this coffee in our standard drip coffee maker. It has a good robust Italian flavor. Interestingly, we have also tried this in our breville barista touch and it is far too acidic and bitter tasting to even drink. We saved this bag for our regular drip and it works great as long as you go that method of brewing.

Meh, maybe get on of their other roasts. Definity not their best work
Honestly the worst lavazza yet but it was also the cheapest at the time of purchase. A little bit sharp and a little acidic, and when ground in a hand grinder there was a little bit of almost a sandy feeling to it. I drank it all and mostly enjoyed myself but, probably if the price is comparable get one of their other roasts.

Cafetera: superautomática Delonghi Dinamica Ecam Todas mis reseñas sobre café las comienzo diciendo lo mismo que no tengo ni idea de café, pero en casa bebemos mucho café por lo que siempre opino desde el punto de vista de un consumidor diario. Este cafe es un buen café para consumirlo a diario, tiene una calidad precio bastante bueno, unos 12/13€ kg, no excesivamente cremoso pero cumple, y no es fuerte pero tiene sabor, tiene cuerpo, el mismo envase ya indica la intensidad no se ha de esperar un café fuerte. El grano huele bien y son bastante regulares, no hay granos rotos y son todos del mismo tamaño. En mi caso lo tomo com leche y solo y siempre sin azúcar, y no resulta amargo. Hay mejores cafés en el mercado si subimos de precio, pero este en concreto es una muy buena opción de consumo diario, como la mayoría de cafes Lavazza de este rango de precios, aunque sigo recomendando el Lavazza Gold.

In famiglia, quando si parla di caffe siamo pretenziosi , particolarmente mia moglie che essendo d’origine campana e’ esigente, così tanto da mettere paura al barista sotto casa che ogni volta che la vede abbassa lo sguardo . E’ riuscita a fargli fare due caffè consecutivi perché dal suo punto di vista erano “bruciati”. Come ogni partenopea che si rispetti per lei il caffè non è solo una bevanda rinvigorente, ma anche gusto, passione e attaccamento alle origini. Dopo questa piccola premessa, vi devo confessare che in famiglia ci piace diversificare e gustare sempre nuove miscele , trovare qualità e particolarità in ognuna. Il marchio Lavazza noi lo conosciamo bene ,si da quando eravamo bambini,i nostri genitori acquistavano solo ed esclusivamente “Lavazza qualità oro “. Quindi il brand per noi rappresenta anche sinonimo di qualità è affidabilità. La prima peculiarità che abbiamo riscontrato è che i chicchi sono interamente d’arabica , dal nostro punto di vista la migliore delle varietà. A livello tattile e visivo si percepisce una buona qualità poiché i granì si presentano unti e oliosi e diversificati tra loro. Tra le caratteristiche che ci hanno colpito è la confezione dove sono contenuti i granì realizzata interamente in allumino che quindi conserva meglio gli aromi e li sprigiona successivamente in 25 ml di estratto. Dopo la macinatura e dopo aver inserito il composto all’interno della caffettiera abbiamo riscontrato una buona densità; per rilevare la consistenza dell’estratto abbiamo messo lo zucchero al termine siamo rimasti positivamente colpiti visto che lo zucchero fatica a scendere giù. All’olfatto il caffè emana una fragranza che inebria la cucina sin ora poche volte avevamo riscontato nei caffe testati; con le note di tostato che sono ben connotate. Buono il gusto e l’aroma che dà carattere e possiede un livello d’acidità soppesato . A fine degustazione spiccano note di cioccolato e frutta secca con un retrogusto tendente lievemente al dolciastro. Questi granì ci hanno soddisfatto, anche se il gusto è solo una scelta soggettiva , noi la consigliamo. Ed è anche conveniente, lo abbiamo acquistato a 9 euro un chilo . Un suggerimento che ci sentiamo di dare è per garantire freschezza e qualità di macinare il caffè appena occorre ,successivamente di riporre la confezione nel reparto più asciutto del frigorifero , noi lo abbiamo messo nello scomparto della frutta .
