 Delicious (but not actually Espresso) Jul 16, 2010
This is really good stuff. This coffee has a creamy chocolatiness about it that always makes me want some when I wake up in the morning. I make mine in a 8 cup French press. 5 heaping scoops with a couple of spins in a $10 krups ginder and 3 minutes in filtered freshly boiled water and I am in Heaven. My mother tells me that this is even good without milk or sugar, which should say something.
I should note that some people give this coffee bad reviews because they believe it is espresso. It is not. Repeat: THIS IS NOT ESPRESSO. Look at the picture or read the packaging if you find it in a store. It is not espresso. Amazon listed it incorectly. Don't give this coffee bad reviews because of someone at Amazon who made a mistake.
I should also note that if you want any coffee to retain it's flavor you should not leave the coffee in the bag. You can always smell the coffee through the bag which means that the bag is not air tight and the flavor of the coffee is dissipating into the air. As soon as you get any coffee you should always put it in a plastic container that is air tight and stored out of direct sunlight. Do not store coffee in the freezer because the air cycling will also suck the flavors away.
 Not real ESPRESSO! Jul 06, 2010
Nowhere on this package does it say it is espresso. It does make really good coffee, but it is not an espresso roast. Amazon has mislabeled this product.

Not my mother's Lavazza Jul 01, 2010
I lived in Italy for several years, and Lavazza was my coffee of choice, This isn't the same by a long shot -- the roast is anemic, and the resulting espresso is thin and tasteless. The underlying flavor is has some of the distinctive notes from 'real' lavazza, but that really doesn't compensate for the under-roasting.
Mediocre May 10, 2010
This coffee tastes weak and old. Cream is very thin. I don't know the roast date, but it still had about year and half to expiration date. This is strange by itself- top quality coffee is good for about 1 month after the roast. It can survive longer, when beans are packed in a nitrogen filled sealed container, but this coffee came in a regular valved bag. The beans are well roasted, not burned, maybe they'd tasted better when fresh.
Gave it 2 stars because it is still better than a cheap coffee from a supermarket, which I consider 1 star benchmark.
Best tasting espresso Mar 23, 2010
I have tried many brands of espresso whole bean coffee, and this is by far my favorite. Delicious, rich taste, not bitter. Enjoy!
