This is my go-to roast.

5.0 out of 5 stars We look forward to our first cup of coffee
We use these beans in our espresso machine and have it all dialed in. There is no bitterness, the aroma of the beans while brewing is devine and the crème in the end is perfection. They make for a very flavorful iced coffee as well. We have been purchasing these beans on subscription for about 6 months now and don’t have any desire to change.

5.0 out of 5 stars Graet tasting
I am big coffe drinker and very picky about coffee selection. This coffee is well roasted, great taste, balanced and smooth.
This is my second batch.
One thing to keep in mind, It is larger pack than your grocery store pkg. I usually store left overs in airtight container to keep freshness. It does well in tightly closed ziplock bag as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Coffee
Well rounded flavor excellent taste, and good quality. Packaging was well sealed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Packaging and vacuum seal
One of the bags had a coffee bean disrupting the closure so it was vacuum sealed. Also, what’s really annoying is taping the bags together by totally wrapping the circumference both bags with packaging tape. Totally unnecessary!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Coffee Just not for me
Very good coffee we used in our automatic espresso machine for many months. Only reason i gave four ⭐️s is because i found another Lavazza Whole Bean that had the “notes” i prefer. My spouse continues to LOVE this one, and i don’t hate it. I imagine most coffee drinkers would like whole bean Lavazza, espresso, 100% Aracica Coffee, Intensity 5/10.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love it but the price
I used to get the two packs for like $26
It now jumped almost $10
I don’t know if it’s worth it anymore

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice blend
It’s a nice blend between smooth and strong

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Aroma
Fast delivery and good quality

5.0 out of 5 stars Lavazza beans always consistently flavorful
Always enjoy Lavazza beans. The only question is why sometimes the bag is airtight while other times it’s like a balloon. I prefer to have it airtight to better preserve the flavor of the beans.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre coffee at an exceptional price
This coffee in respect to flavor is just okay. Its not that it is bad per se, but I find its flavor profile to be leaning more in the unpleasant side of the spectrum for my tastes. I prefer my espresso to be nutty, sweet, with subtle woody undertones. I don’t like event the slightest hint of any dissonant flavors. This coffee goes in the other direction being more earthy, slightly acidic, with strong dark chocolate undertones (like 80+% cacao dark chocolate). I can’t stand dark chocolate so I do not care for how this shot finishes for that reason alone. There is also a subtle acrid or burnt undertone which I find unbearable in all foods except barbecue. This may be okay if you plan on adding steamed milk or other flavorings, but in a pure shot comparison, I find this flavor profile to be less desirable and believe you can do MUCH better with other beans. I also found this coffee to be very temperamental and unforgiving as far as dialing in my machine. You must get the dose, grind, tamp, and brew pressure just right to get this in the sweet spot where it is not overwhelmingly bitter or sour. The window is smaller for this coffee than I have experienced with others, although that could be just the product of me trying to limit as much as possible the elements of the flavor profile that I don’t care for. Where this really shines is when you take the price into consideration. There is no better deal anywhere than this coffee. This is less than half the price of say Starbucks beans and about 1/3 the price of Illy beans. While Those brands taste much better in my opinion, I’m not ready to say that are 2-3x better. You really do get a stupid amount of espresso for the price. As for freshness, forget it. These are not optimal–as in 1-3 weeks old. They are about as fresh as any beans you could get in a super market. So overall… not great, not terrible, but an exceptional bargain.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great deal for coffee beans

5.0 out of 5 stars our favorite for our espresso maker
From time to time we purchase various coffees, but consistently our favorite is the Lavazza whole bean coffee. It’s got a great aroma and taste, and works perfectly for our espresso/cappuchino machine, and delivers a consistent flavor. High quality!

5.0 out of 5 stars My absolute favorite for years
I’ve been drinking Lavazza Caffe Espresso black bag for over a decade now. I prepare it in a moka pot and I’ve started to drink it with high fat Oatly. It’s so divinely delicious. I’ve had many guests comment on how fantastic it is prepared this way, with comments like, “I wanna come over for coffee more often.” The flavor is prominent, yet on the mild to medium scale; very flavorful, yet very smooth with an almost *slightly* nutty flavor to it. It is not hazelnut flavored, nothing like that at all (you know how subjective these flavor profile descriptions are). Sometimes mild to medium flavored beans have almost nothing to them. I end up asking, “where’s the flavor?” Not with this espresso and this preparation method. It’s also fantastic with regular milk as a traditional cappuccino or just straight up with nothing else in it. I’ve never had this Lavazza made in a fancy espresso machine, only in a percolator-style moka pot, so I don’t know how the different preparation method might change the end result as far as flavor. Sometimes I’ll make it in a french press as a coffee (versus a true espresso) and while it’s good this way, it’s nothing special. From my experience, the moka pot is absolutely where it’s at for this espresso. I’ve tried a lot of coffees over the years, and this is the one I keep coming back to.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best
We have a full automatic coffee machine and are very particular about what coffee beans we use. We want our coffee to have deep aroma, strong but mellow flavor with low acidity. That is really hard to find in a bean. We have tried lots of different beans and the Lavazza Espresso Italiano Medium Roast has it all for us.

We set up our coffee machine so that we use this as our regular coffee, then with the touch of a button, can have terrific Espresso as well. One bean for both. This Espresso bean blend is the best we have found and is is the only one we use. It is a great value for the price, and it gets 5 full flavored stars from us.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lavazza Espresso Italiano Bean
The aroma of freshly ground Lavazza’s Caffe Espresso Italiano Whole Bean awakens my senses each morning, inviting me to craft the perfect homemade cappuccino. Each Rancilio extraction unlocks a symphony of rich notes and velvety texture that dances on my palate. This Italian classic transforms my daily ritual into a cafe-worthy experience, leaving me energized and ready to seize the day.

My husband loves this coffee.

3.0 out of 5 stars Quality issue lately?
I love Lavazza coffee and it’s usually spot on but I’ve had a few bags of this espresso grade 5/10 torrification that have left me wondering what happened to my fave, babe? A small sample reveals grossly different bean sizes and levels of torrification, and quite a few broken beans now. Also presence and absence of silverskins on same level of torrified beans tells me somewhere along the blend cycle someone is letting poor grade beans through. I expect better quality from grocery store brands but Lavazza is supposed to be specialty grade. Will give them a break if I don’t see improvement soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good coffee, reasonable price
Not two day Prime delivery, but the service is reliable and is delivered in a few days. I order two bags at a time and when I open my second bag I re-order. Usually the best price and they frequently offer coupons which reduces the cost a little more.
