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 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.

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.

When I first received the bag and opened it, I was in heaven. The smell of this coffee is amazing. However, the taste doesn’t measure up to the smell.
Some background: I love strong coffee and can’t stand the thought of putting sugar in it. So far, I have used this coffee in my espresso machine to make cappuccinos.
First, let me comment on the crema. I was expecting more. From reading other reviews, I expected the thickest crema I’d ever seen. In fact, the crema is about the same as with most brands of coffee I use in my machine. Depending upon how fine I grind the coffee, how much coffee I use, and how tightly I pack the coffee, the crema is better or worse. This brand didn’t make any noticeable difference.
From a flavor standpoint, I find this coffee rather weak. It might be okay straight up as espresso, but once I add steamed milk, it’s quite watery. I brewed it side by side with Costco’s Kirkland Espresso (Starbuck’s roast), and the Kirkland brand is much bolder and more intense.
So if you’re looking for a strong coffee, one with intense flavor, this isn’t the coffee for you.

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.
