Italian "Super Crema" Espresso Whole Bean Value Pack (3 x 2.2 lb bags)

ESTIMADOS, PAGUE TRES PAQUETES DE CAFE Y SOLO LLEGÓ UNO

I don't have a lot of little comforts in my life since I became permantly and totally disabled 12 years ago. Income is very tight and, frankly, I am still greiving the loss of my career. Having said that, coffee has been an intregal part of my life since college (I'm now 51 years old!) so while Lavazza Super Crema is an expensive bean, it brings me so much joy that it is worth it. I recently purchased a high-end home espresso machine after saving my pennies for over a year and these beans make the best espresso - totally blows what most people think is the gold standard, Starbucks. Compared to beans or drinks from the local Starbucks, this brand of bean makes Sbux look and taste like sewer water. I not only use this in my espresso machine but also my coffee maker. It does not have the burnt tire taste of the overcooked Sbux espresso beans. It always has a nice crema, and a real tasty full body dark roast flavor. I say this with my tongue firmly planted in my cheek, but I'd give up my cat and all her attendant expenses in order to continue buying Lavazza beans. If you don't have a grinder, get a good entry level one like the Baratzza Encore (don't get shocked when you see the price) and purchase whole beans instead of previously ground coffee. Then use either cold distilled water or filtered water from a refrigerated water pitcher (Britta, Zero Water, etc) and grind your beans just before brewing. If you enjoy coffee as much as I do, you will notice the difference. If your work coffee sucks, consider buying a little pour over kit, French Press, or an AeroPress for your office and use home ground Lavazza beans. Your afternoon slump we all experience between 2:00 and 4:00, will be sent packing. Of all the variations offered by Lavazza, all of which have their own "personalities," my hands down favorite is Super Crema. Keep in mind that the price flucuates greatly from the various sellers on Amazon so don't just bookmark the page, do a search and you may find that each time you purchase beans, you may get a better deal buying multiple single 2.2 pound bags over a 2-pack or 4-pack from the previous seller. If you're math challenged like me, grab a calculator because I've rarely purchased from the same vendor more than twice because of the variations in price. I know that Amazon offers a Subscribe & Save, but the price does vary so greatly that I don't want to lock into a price that could be beaten by a different seller even considering the % discount for subscription. Hope this review was helpful. Let me know if you have any questions.

This is the only coffee I buy. You can make espresso or drip coffee with it. Outstanding coffee, low acid. Can't beat it for the price.

Best coffee

This is the best coffee I've bought granted that I am not a connoisseur. So good that I cannot drink crap from any popular establishment. Fastfood coffee tastes burnt, Starbucks tastes like water with one coffee bean in it. This coffee has favor profiles that I enjoy. It's dark, full bodied, not bitter and strong. It is very smooth. I drink mine black and even when it is strong it's still smooth. Adding creamer and sugar if you like that, elevates everything. The main body is what you will notice and those other additives are only there to elevate it. If you are drinking coffee where the creamer and sugar is needed then possibly think about this brand. The main character is all you need, and for some more creativity and pizzazz this will do that too.
