Lavazza Crema E Gusto, Pack of 10

taste fantastic, not too strong and well ground. Great price.

local Tesco stopped stocking so this seemed worth buying online in bulk - got a few packs - genuine product and well inside use by date

Fantastic Coffee, Perfect! Smooth yet strong. My favorite coffee. Once you get the strength right, not too weak, not too strong, and the brewing time right, you will never want to drink any other coffee again. BUT.... Beware! you must eat with this coffee or you'll be climbing the walls and try to resist having a second cup too soon as the caffeine is off the charts. It's like drinking a mug of espresso but smooth and really nice tasting. Anyway, VERY highly recommended but easy does it :-)

Fresh strong coffee with good taste and aroma. Promptly delivered, well packed and fair price

It's a stronger taste than the Quality Rosso, which doesn't suit my personal palate as well, but nonetheless good coffee.

Just is what it is. Perfect brew

4 pouches of coffee ordered. 2 delivered were burst open/split

Arrived on time. No blown packets.

+ Nice blend - Expensive

Super Schnäppchen für diesen leckeren Kaffee. Er ist nicht ganz so stark, je nachdem wie viel man davon in seine Tasse gibt, hat ein wunderbares Aroma

This is absolutely my favorite coffee, and I rely on it heavily to keep me going through insanely intense work weeks. As a chemist I'm extremely concerned with the potency of my coffee. By potency I'm referring to the amount of the coffee that actually gets extracted from the grounds via the brewing process. Crema e Gusto has to be the strongest coffee I've tasted and probably requires about half the grounds to achieve the same potency compared to other coffees. I've tried a wide variety of other coffees such as Kicking Horse which is another highly rated coffee on Amazon. Although Kicking Horse's Kick Ass Coffee has an arguably better, more complex flavor than Crema e Gusto, it suffers from the same lack of potency like other coffees. I believe the reason for Crema e Gusto's strength lies in the fact that it is 70% robusta beans which are known to taste stronger than arabica beans. Additionally, the caffeine content of robusta beans can be up to double that of arabica which lends to the enhanced stimulant properties of Crema e Gusto versus other arabica based coffees. The question is now why not just get 100% robusta coffees for maximum potency. The problem with that is that you'll sacrifice flavor for the potency. I believe some cheap coffees such as Folgers often contain 100% robusta beans since robusta beans are overall cheaper to produce than arabica. As everyone is well aware, these coffees taste bad and tend to be bitter. On the other hand, Crema e Gusto is perfectly balanced (containing 30% arabica) to deliver a smooth, bold flavor while retaining the potent nature of robusta-based coffee. If you're a flavor snob who only drinks coffee for a great taste, go for something like Kicking Horse, however, if you're like me and need a nuclear charge to keep you going all day long but value taste as well, Crema e Gusto is the perfect coffee. Update: Almost four years later I'm still buying this stuff by the case (20 bricks per case). I religiously brew two Crema e Gusto espressos every day using this espresso maker Mr. Coffee Automatic Dual Shot Espresso/Cappuccino System, ECMP50 . Other brewing methods are simply not as efficient at extracting the coffee. Trying many other coffees since my initial review has only reaffirmed the superiority of Crema e Gusto because it is 1. super potent in caffeine content 2. rich in flavor and 3. very cost effective. A fourth quality I've seen related to points 1 and 2 is the size and uniformity of the grind. It's not too small which will clog the portafilter, yet small enough to achieve excellent extraction while pulling an espresso shot. I've tried grinding whole beans, and even with a bur grinder, I've found it difficult to match the perfect grind of this coffee. I recent received my PhD and have this coffee to thank in helping me to work productively all those years.

Coffee had no aroma and was tasteless

Se conserva la frescura gracias a que viene en 2 distintos paquetes.
