  Traveling through Italy we always found good espresso and cappuccino; it seemed to be a matter of pride to make coffee properly. The coffees we ran into most often were Lavazza and Illy. For some reason, many here believe that espresso must be made with a very dark roast, explaining why one often encounters espresso in our coffee shops and restaurants that is burnt tasting and bitter. What is really wanted is more of a medium roast for good espresso and cappuccino. I’ve used the Lavazza Super Crema in a DeLonghi espresso machine with excellent results. Intense flavor, not burnt or bitter, and with good, three-layer separation of the crema. Recommended.

  After purchasing a Gaggia Titanium I was looking for a great tasting espresso, I found other people’s reviews helpful and decided to try Lavazza Super Crema – it is wonderful! It produces a thick crema and does not have a bitter taste like so many other espresso beans. Each cup reminds me of the great tasting quality coffee one gets in European coffee shops. If you are looking for a high quality espresso that produces a nice thick crema – try Lavazza Super Crema!

  This is a great bean for a semi-automatic machine. We have a Jura-Capresso and adjust it to a fine grind with this bean. The beans produce an espresso with a thick crema and a smooth, almost chocolaty ending. This brand can be found at coffee shops all over Italy and Europe in general.

  I always come back to this blend. Although it is great to try all the designer espresso blends I just keep coming back to Lavazza Supercrema, it just makes a consistently good cup of coffee. I generally do 3 or so cap’s a day and maybe a straight shot of espresso after dinner and either way it just tastes good all the time. Not to strong, smooth flavor. In my book it ranks up there with the best. I run it through the Mazzer and Rancilio Ms. Sylvia for a great cappuccino. Enjoy.

  Great smooth flavor, terriffic crema. The best, and the price at Amazon was slightly lower than what I had been paying at an online coffee site.

  I spent a lot of time looking for the best coffee to put in my Capresso Z5 and this has been it! So much so that I now have automatic deliveries so I never run out.

  The crema is amazing, the flavor well rounded and not acidic.

  I have recently tried “Lavazza Tierra! Espresso 100% Arabica ” which is great but a little too mild for me. I make cappuccino, not espresso, and the SuperCrema is better for this. It does have more caffeine then the pure Arabica Tierra and is more robust, more body and much more crema. Actually, on the few occasions that I do have espresso I would lean to the Tierra as it is lighter. I use a Pasquini Livia Auto. My vote is SuperCrema for Cap and Tierra for espresso (Tierra if you just want less caffine and a lighter full flavor). So, get both. Here at Amazon the price is great.

  I use these beans with my LeLit pl53 grinder and Rancilio Silvia espresso machine. I am definitely an amateur barista, but with these nice beans in hand I was able to really up the quality of my shots. They just seem a little more forgiving than other beans I have tried. I get nice zebra-striping during the shot, and a fair amount of crema. However, crema is not the end-all of a shot for me, I mostly just want it to taste good! Other beans may deliver a larger amount of crema, but shots of this bean are mild and smooth without bitterness. Enjoy!

  This is one of the best espressos from Lavazza. I use this one everyday. It leaves a beautiful crema with no bitter taste. I have a Saeco Odea, and it seems to only like Lavazza beans! The beans are never burnt and always comes fresh. I highly recommend this for any type of espresso drink.

  I used it to make French press coffee. I rate it as excellent and better than the more expensive %100 kona coffee beans. The French press tastes exactly like the coffee served in European airports as they use the same beans. It is a matter of your palate. My son prefers the Kona beans. I am lucky in a way to like the lavazza more. Compare $19.09 for 2.2 pounds of lavazza for $29 for one pound of Kona.
