Lavazza Super Crema Coffee Beans 1kg x 6 + 50 Lotus Biscuits

I bought myself an expensive machine recently after having used a nespresso machine forv2 yrs, i went with all the experts saying "buy fresh beans" from a roaster. So i did that and very nearly returned my machine after not pulling a decent shot a week later, i just could not get any consistency and really struggled dialing the beans in. I read these reviews for the super crema and gave it a final shot.....beautiful! Really nice, so much easier getting the grind right. Every latte or cappuccino i make now is spot on, cafe quality. Im well impressed and just ordered my second bag. I'd recommend, definitely.

I decided to test this coffee. I normally get the red bag, yet this one is so much better. The only down side is… I am now drinking about three more cups a day than my normal one cup in the morning. I am now drink the whole cafetière on my own and then having a second one at lunch time.I am now hooked on this one.

I had been buying ground packet coffee to use in my moka pot for a couple of years now and decided to grind my own beans. This coffee came highly recommended and what a game changer! Fresh beans are the way to go if you have a coffee machine throw your packaged ground coffee away and invest in some decent beans and a decent grinder, as soon as the coffee is ground it rapidly deteriorates, tannins, co2 etc is lost once ground hence whole beans being the best for getting the most out of the coffee.. Anyways i made my first cup on a fine grind and HOLY SMOKES...now i understand the name "connoisseur" now i understand what all the fuss is about. This is simply the best coffee i have ever tasted, so much comes through on the flavour profile, little nuances of different flavours its magic... its a deep smooth and strong bodied coffee.. you can actually see the oils floating in the liquid when it comes out of the machine, that is the mark of freshness...and the smell is heavenly. Thank you Lavazza, you have changed my perception of coffee and in a good way... I'm already excited to wake up tomorrow for the next cup. 5 STARS

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.

Not bad at all.I wanted an alternative to our expensive locally roasted fresh beans for use in a Sage Oracle espresso machine.I thought I'd try these.The bag contained a roasting date that was about a month prior to my receiving thew bag - better than I thought it would be.When I opened the bag and got started on grinding, the results were really pretty good and compared well to the freshly roasted beans.After a few days however (grinding at a rate of about 100g per day) the freshness seemed to fall off more quickly than the fresh beans. I would say that the first 400g were very good, the next 400g were good and the last 200g were less good, probably falling below the threshold of what I would ideally have liked.So, I would say these are:1) Good if you are going to get through a bunch of beans very quickly - say within 3 days or so.2) Good in a pinch if you cannot source fresher beans or if you want to have some beans 'in stock' in case you come up short on the fresh supply.3) Fine if you don't mind a more rapid falling off of flavour after a few days.They are cheaper than a kilo of freshly roasted beans (which are about £22-28). They are way better than supermarket beans (which I wouldn't bother with). Good compromise bean.

Lavazza Super Crema is a good starting point for a decent low cost espresso.The quality is consistent. They aren’t going to be as fresh as a bean from a artisan roasters and don’t have a roast on date.The delivery through Amazon is so quick I don’t order until I’m down to my last hoper full.If you want a fresher bean through Amazon the Union range have a roast on date but you have to pay a premium so more often than not I get Lavazza as it suits my budget, and the difference in quality and freshness between lavazza and union is negligible.

I'm not a cofee expert but i can compare as i bought both at the same time... Perfect for espresso and machiato.. Full of body and a little bit bitter which gives it strong and intense flavour... I preffer to use one swettener dose instead my usual two. Recomend to mix with 2 doubble cream teaspoons.
