Smooth, delicate, and tasting great
A true Lavazza coffee: Smooth, delicate, tasting great, and never overroasted!

Lavazza coffee – tastes great!
I love coffee, drink a lot….local, chain, small roaster varieties….this is probably the best brand I have found for consistency with a robust flavor. Not sure if this is roasted overseas and sold here, or all done in the USA and sold here…but I highly recommend as the price-point is exceptional for the quality.

Best I have had for french press
Levazza is legendary. Every time I try to try something different for my espresso or french press. I just get disappointed. If you are going to an expensive coffee shop at least here and california and they don’t make their own beans. Chances are 90% they are selling Lavazza exclusively. Never really had a problem with it. Twice over the years I got only half my order, and once it was really old. But it’s always great and for me there is no reason to buy anything else. I am sure there is something very specific that might be better. But for 90% of the public this is the best coffee you will ever drink your life.

6/5 , am buying again
2nd Edit: 26 Feb 2020, I’m about to finish the last of this bag. I’m gonna buy another 2.2lb/1k because this was that good. I’m gonna try a different flavour, maybe the Gran or the Super Crema. The honey and almond sounds really intriguing….What I did to preserve the beans, because once I opened the bag, I couldn’t close it, was put the beans in Ziplocs. Quarts worked for me, I had two I could barely zip and a sandwich baggy. Making four to six cups daily (and to stretch them out, I’ll pour more water over the used beans. If I made a batch of six, I use three cups next, then two cups. By that time the beans are tired. Hey, these were good! Not really expensive, but I wanna stretch my money out!) the 2.2lb last nearly two months. Ignore what I was saying about maybe these will be stale, these were fantastic.6/5 , am buying againI have a bag of ground coffee to go through before I open this (won’t be long) but something that gives me pause is the manufactured date, the day the coffee was roasted.A year and a half ago?!?! When I was working for Peet’s Coffee, they told me to throw away any bag of coffee (3lbs or more) over 3 months old since roasting (didn’t happen often, they went through several bags daily), I’ve never seen coffee over a year old! Beans don’t ~really~ expire, it’s not like I’m gonna get cancer because my coffee was stale, but the tasting notes will/would be off and the cup will/would be flat. I suppose that the nitrogen process the beans are treated with help preserve, but this bag doesn’t contain nitrogen, it’s your standard coffee bag with an air port, any gas in there that wasn’t air has now escaped. I’ve seen those coffees at the store, they come in tins to not let the gas escape (also a product sold by LavAzza).Long story short, I haven’t tasted my beans yet, and while I’m eager to, I am also cautious. I will update the review with actual stars and report what I think are the drawbacks, if there are any, when I open the bag.*ahem*So I finished that other bag of coffee a while ago, I’m just pretty lazy and forgetful.WOWUpon opening the bag (very well sealed, I ended up using scissors and storing the beans in Ziplocs) the kitchen filled with coffee scent — literally. Blooming, blossoming, exploding out of the bag was this incredibly deep toasty earthy smell of very dark and flavourful beans. Just wow.Ground the beans for my drip (I’m investing the money for a small espresso machine soon, you know, when I have $1000+ spending money), loaded Mr Coffee up and in ~5min I had a cup of java (cup of italia?) covered with a thick layer of natural oils. The liquid was mean looking, jet black with crema coloured bubbles (but no genuine crema, this was a Mr Coffee), and the aroma was like a brick wall.The first slurp was incredible! There is a wealth of flavour in these beans, more than just a smoky, rough, charred taste, these were notes of deep earth, softened by a sweet taste (the bag says cinnamon, I feel like it’s a stretch, but sure), layered with the customary roasty toasty notes darker roasts have. But this wasn’t your $10 bag coffee where the roaster forgot to turn the beans and it came out crispy, these were roasted to the prime level, and I imagine, these beans must have been treated or stored in nitrogen or something, because these were fresh, and the bag denotes the manufacturing date, which I believe is the day they bagged the beans, which is probably the day or day after the beans finished roasting, and the bag says it was over a year ago.Incredible. This was a good bag of coffee, this is a good mug of coffee.

Love the chocolate note, especially in milk drinks!
Our household (husband and I are big coffee drinkers!) typically buys the Lavazza Super Crema (which we now have on a subscription) for our DeLonghi Eletta Explore, but wanted to try something new. We tried the Lavazza Crema e Aroma, but wasn’t as impressed, felt like the Super Crema was much better. Next up for a taste test was this one, the Top Class, and it did not disappoint! We loved the hint of chocolate (we do not taste the cinnamon, which was preferrable as we are not big fans of it). My husband drinks it as americano, I love it as a flat white/iced cappuccino. So good! This will be another one placed on subscription. For our super automatic machine, we avoid dark (therefore oily) roasts so I just look for medium roast – and we do not like fruity, floral, or acidic coffee, so this was a winner. Wish the roast date was sooner, but honestly, the price for this 2.2 lb bag overrides that con – we go through too much coffee a month, and this is value for money (and still tastes good). Highly recommend the Lavazza Super Crema and the Top Class!

The best coffee bean
This coffee change the dynamics of my bakery and my house!The Crema it produces when itâs brewed as an espresso shot is fantastic. The amount of roast is just enough to either drink it as a shot or adding any milk (itâs not overpowering). Not so bitter and not so mild.Iâve had a a great experience with the packaging. It easy to seal after opening and it comes vacuumed sealed.

Great tasting
This coffee tastes great. probably my fav, and I’ve tried many. My only negative would be the size of the bag. Its huge, and costs a lot. How about offering a smaller size bag?

Delicious
Freshly ground and brewed properly this coffee is great. No bitterness and chocolate notes. I drink it black. One of the best whole bean medium roasts I have tried. Will definitely order again. I have tried it in pour over, aero press, and automatic makers and itâs good in all.

This coffee from Lavazza is full bodied and amazingly balanced. I get almost espresso quality from my drip Coffee maker. Packaging preserves freshness until you drink it. Price make it a “special occasion” beverage, however.
