Lavazza Espresso Italiano

I purchased these coffee beans because of the brand name and price. Big mistake.I use a Delonghi bean to cup coffee machine with the grinder set to fine to give the strongest cup of coffee possible. Yet these beans make a very mild, almost tasteless brew. You may as well have a cheap brand of own label instant.The only way I have found to get anything that resembles a decent cup of coffee using these beans is to brew a full strength double expresso over a full strength cup of doppio+.The only upside to using these beans is that it will cut down on your coffee consumption as you will not fancy another cup any time soon.

I first noticed something wrong when I ground these beans. They were dry and dusty. Then I brewed them and the whole thing went south in a hurry. The coffee tasted sour and rancid when I put it through my aeropress, even though I had just ground the beans.Next I put them through my bean to cup machine thinking this would make it taste better with a faster brew and higher bar pressure. I tried the beans as espresso, regular coffee and even tried masking the taste with a bit of milk, but it was no good, it tasted equally bad every which way I tried it.So finally I thought maybe steep time would make a difference and got out my frech press, ground some beans to the right size for my press gauze. Brewed, steeped, supped and spat! It was honestly undrinkable.This was my second bag of Lavazza beans. I had a similar experience with the first bag but thought I had just hit a bad batch. The second bag confirmed it though, these beans are horrid and dry, I've had far superior coffee beans from Morrisons!

I have had Lavazza Qualita Rossa many times in the past and enjoyed the taste so I thought I would try this due to the good product reviews and well-known brand. I have now tried the beans and they are very acidic and leave quite a bad taste in your mouth, whether having the coffee as an espresso or a large coffee with milk. Due to the other comments saying the taste is good I wonder if I have received a bad batch that is stale as the acidity is very strong. Unless I find out that this is a bad batch, I probably won't be ordering these again.

Terrible! Do not buy. I always use the same brand and type of coffee beans with Sage Barista Express. Even on the finest grind setting this barely produced a coffee as no pressure due to poor quality (old/faulty bag) beans. Tried with a new bag of beans (same brand and type from the supermarket) and produced a great coffee on grind setting 7. Avoid this particular product/batch. Tried to return and refund am not able to!

I have to agree with alot of the other reviews. This is not a smooth taste and leaves a bitter-sour taste in your mouth. I wont buy again and threw the rest of the bag away...dont buy this one. The cheap coffee beans at the grocery store were better than this.

I have no idea why people on here rate this so highly. The beans taste like they have been out for 2 years. There is minimal crema. It just tastes so bland and cheap for espresso.

I’ve been a lavazza customer for quite some time now. due to my usual coffee being out of stock, I purchased this one. Very disappointed

Avoid buying this, I have bought thus coffee from supermarket and it was fine however ordered from Amazon and it taste strong and not good!
