Our family’s tradition of roasting espresso dates back to our Cuban estate where the word “coffee” was synonymous with “espresso.” Café Gaviña Espresso Continental, the first product we sold in the U.S., draws its signature rich and aromatic flavor from our Spanish origins. Our passion for that bold, balanced flavor continues to this day. Nothing can beat the rich flavor of our espressos.

Delicious
“This Nuevo Mundo boasts a vibrant, almost floral aroma with notes of juicy berries and citrus that explode on the palate. The acidity is bright and lively, yet well-balanced with a smooth, medium body, leaving a lingering sweetness and a clean aftertaste that dances on the tongue long after the last sip.”.Definitely will be a repeat customer.

Amazing quality, taste, price!
For the price I paid, these espresso beans blew my mind! Flavorful, rich, has earthy âbrewyâ robust taste, and NOT VERY ACIDIC EITHER! It truly is a great coffee in my opinion. Really smooth. I find I love this best for either a latte or a nice cup of iced americano!

So good!
This is my new bean of choice!Once you get dialed in this makes an excellent espresso and an even better latte or con leche!

Strong flavor. Compared to Illy and two Lavazza blends.
I purchased and tested four quality espresso beans.Illy Classico(Steel can, nitrogen flushed and sealed)Lavazza Qualità Oro (Gold bag, red labelling.)Lavazza Super Crema. (Blue bag.)Gavina Old Havana Espresso (Parchment colored bag with brown labelling.)Old Havana is the darkest roast. They call it a “medium-dark” roast, but in this group, it seemed past “medium.” They also “stick” more in the grinder, meaning the Jura (which is insanely finicky) had trouble feeding them more than the others. Despite this, they only had a few flecks of visible oil, less than the less-darkly-roasted Super Crema. The Old Havana also produced the most crema, although all four beans were good at this. (See my Jura Ena 8 review/video for an example of this.)If you want a bitter bite, which actually I often do, this has more of it than the others. It also came closer to Starbucks or a percolator, while having more actual flavor and smoothness than either. This is suprising, because it is a 100% Arabica roast.I do like this roast. I included it for a reason. It is bracing. Will get you up in the morning. And it’s great for cutting through the milk in a drink. But for a mid-day sip, perhaps something smoother?Lavazza Super Crema has been my go-to since Tony’s Sugar Bee (previously Ganesha) became too hard and expensive to acquire. (If you haven’t tried Sugar Bee, give it a shot. Very rich and thick ristrettos.) I expected to like it, in comparison, more than I did. But while it has a bit of that bitterness I like, and no burnt flavor, it just lacked presence. It’s okay everywhere, but a rock star nowhere.It is an interesting roast; it’s 40% Arabica / 60 Robusta beans. The other three are all 100% Arabica.Lavazza Qualità Oro surprised me. It has both more mouth feel and also more smoothness and flavor than the Super Crema and the Illy Classico. The Old Havana does have more flavor but less smoothness. A week later, working my way through all these beans (yeah, it’s a lot of beans to buy at once), the Oro was the one I was looking forward to most. Qualità Oro is 100% Arabica.Illy Classico, which is 100% Arabica, has always been a reliable backup. The beans are available locally at the supermarket, and they don’t change much over reasonable storage times, perhaps due to the can and the nitrogen flush. They’re also completely unexciting. It’s obviously espresso, and smooth, not bitter, but there’s no personality.The lightest roast is Qualità Oro, followed by Super Crema, then Illy Classico, with Old Havanna being the darkest. Strangely, the Super Crema had more surface oil (although not much) than the other beans, while the Old Havana were the shiniest.

Tastes great and doesn’t jam the grinder of a DeLonghi Magnifica espresso maker
Went searching for a dark or medium-dark espresso roast that is as tasty as the Kirkland Signature dark espresso beans we’ve been using but is much less oily. Oily beans stick together in the hopper of our DeLonghi Magnifica and stop the grinder from working properly. Lavazza Barista Gran Crema was okay, but the Gaviña Old Havana Espresso is better, nicely replicating that slightly burnt, dark-roast flavor we’ve been enjoying from the Costco beans. We use Gaviña’s decaf espresso ground coffee as our go-to for single-serving cups of decaf in the afternoon and evening, and recommend that as well.

Fiinally consumed an entire bag… and it was excellent.
This was the first time I purchased a coffee bean bag. I mean, I rarely ever consumed coffee… until a WFH position fell into my lap, so the most I ever had was Folger’s or whatever burnt tar was in the break room’s coffee maker at some office job. So, when I went looking for some beans for my new Fully Automatic Espresso Machine, I did what most people do: Go on Amazon, sort by ‘Best Sellers’ and sift around there a bit. I’m glad I did, as this coffee makes for an excellent cappuccino.

not cuban coffee at all, light flavor instead of strong
good for those who likes light taste coffee but this is not espresso
Micah Nelson –
Excellent
These beans make awesome drinks (IF prepared properly)! If you like an intense dark flavored espresso, these beans are for you.

I was excited to try this Cuban coffee and wanted to like it. Though this is 100% arabica, I found Lavazza Gold (arabica robusta blend) to be much better tasting – I drink espresso (no milk) and use a semi automatic machine.This Gavina tastes flat and bitter, for lack of a better description. I prefer the bright fruity notes of the Lavazza Gold.
