Customers say
Customers appreciate the coffee’s taste, espresso quality, and smoothness. They find it a good alternative to caffeinated coffee with a caramelly sweetness. Many describe it as full-bodied, smooth, and creamy. The coffee is high-quality, stronger than a medium French roast, and solid for evening time coffee. However, some customers disagree on value for money and decaf quality.

Best decaf I’ve found
I’ve done a lot of comparisons with different coffee for my espresso and cappuccinos, and for decaf, this is by far the best for me. I use a vintage Braun flat parallel plate 1980’s vintage grinder on the finest setting, and feed that into my Philips fully automatic 4300, just so you know my setup (after lots of trials and different settings). I keep my Philips loaded with my caffeinated coffee beans, and use the grind bypass for decaf.This tastes fuller, a bit more of an after taste and a little smokier than my standard go-to caffeinated Lavazza Ultra Crema Barista, which I have settled on for my first / second coffee of the day. That is my reference, so so you know what I’m basing this review on.Taste is highly subjective, but for me, this is as good as it gets for a decaf for espresso.

Great decaf espresso.
I have been mixing this with a local roaster’s dark roast espresso beans (Alakef Espresso Primo) for a wonderfully balance 50/50 blend. Been using it for years.

Tastes Pretty Much like Regular Lavazza
I have spent over a month in Italy and been a long time user of several different espresso brands, including Illy. Most Americans grew up on high-caffeine Folgers with bitter Robusto beans. In the USA, many non-Italian brands also sell a dark “espresso roast”. In fact, real Italian espresso coffees like Illy and Lavazza are quite smooth and drinkable, with a medium roast.That said, I have both regular and decaf Lavazza and regular Illy at present. I compared all three, and I find this decaf Lavazza tastes pretty close to regular Lavazza, as far as I can tell. It isn’t quite as smooth as Illy, but its also half the price. FYI, I brewed this in a Saeco Classico espresso machine. Steam espresso machines, like the cheap Mr. Coffee or DeLonghi models brew at much too high a temperature, so the results are far more bitter.Lavazza is basically the cheap brand of Italian coffee–which is still superior to most American brands, of course. That said, a lot of buyers of Lavazza in the US are stepping up from their traditional Folgers or Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks, so their tastes are firmly rooted in the bitter, burnt arena. Lavazza is not that, but rather a fine Italian roast and blend. Illy drinkers tend to be a more sophisticated crowd. But for the money, Lavazza is a pretty good way to go.

Good Decaf Espresso, wife really likes it too, does require grind dialing as any new bean would
This bean does have a clearly distinctive taste from the LavAzza Super Crema, which is an exceptional bean IMO. I wasn’t sure what to expect for a decaf, but this bean is comparable to any caffeinated bean I’ve tried, I happen to like the super crema a bit better, but I think my wife was actually on the fence (tastes will vary of course). This bean does seem to require a bit coarser of a grind than the super crema, but only took me about 4 shots to get it dialed in.

This is a great bean for espresso!
We drink lattes everyday and love Lavazza coffee beans. We use both DEK and Gran Crema depending on the time of day. Great aroma and flavor.

Perfect espresso every time!
I use the Lavazzo beans to make espresso in my Breville espresso machine. The machine shows the pressure, so I can make sure that the beans perform well. These beans are consistent every time! I’ve tried other brands, and I could never get the pressure to be consistent. These taste great and work every time!

No Bang. No Zip. No Flavor Notes.
Iâm trying to find a decaf that has some zing to it. This ainât it. Tastes pretty much like warm brown water. If I did a blind taste test between warm water and this decaf, it would be very difficult to know which is which. Going back to my less expensive brown water while the search continues.Your mileage may vary.

This is about the best decaf you can buy as beans, at a sane price at least. But it can be improved.If you don’t mind a dash of caffein in the mix — just a little, not enough to cause problems, then try mixing one 500g pack of Lavazza DEK decaffeinated Coffee Espresso Beans with one 250g tin of illy Espresso Classic Roast Coffee Beans (so two decaf to one caffeinated).So one of these: Lavazza DEK decaffeinated decaffeinated Coffee Espresso 500g Beans, and one of these: illy Espresso Classic Roast Coffee Beans 250gPour the pack and the tin into a large bowl, mix more than you would have thought (takes quite a bit of mixing), then pour back into the tins (you’ll have enough tins once you’ve done this a couple of times).Makes for a superb, really low caffein coffee that tastes as good as the illy caffeinated (which is saying something), but is light enough in caffein that you can drink it when you’d normally have a decaf.
