We too have made our own coffee from beans for over ten years, and after using Gevalia Columbian for at least five years, have converted over to LavAzza crema e aroma with half and half creamer because it is so smooth. We boil water in an electric pot, then pour it over the ground beans sitting in a cup in a filter. The temp of the water is never more than just boiling, and often slightly below boiling. We carafe up the pot right away and drink it the whole day.It is wonderful coffee on the deck in the morning.Jackie
My family thrives on its Lavazza intake. If we get a little ahead in our supply, our daughter is thrilled to take an extra bag off our hands. In each bag there appears to be up to a half a dozen green coffee beans. The flavor is smoother and more full than Illy, which we used before discovering these beans as a result of an Amazon review. As a result, I now sort through the beans before putting them in airtight storage for daily use. The crema is thick, rich and holds up well to the high pressure of the Capresso. The Crema e Aroma beans are prepared in our Jura-Capresso S-9, which stays on most of the day. I would give this product an unqualified 5-star rating except for one flaw we have only noticed recently.
While some reviews prefer to use another Lavazza for latte or other milk based drinks, we find that a fine grind and the strong setting on the Capresso result in delicious lattes. We now take advantage of the subscription shipping to insure we never run out. When accidentally ground with the beans even one of these contaminating little nasty things will ruin an entire pot of coffee or destroy a cup of cappuccino with their awful taste. Aside from that one flaw, this is a fantastic product at a reasonable price, especially if you take the discounted subscription shipping.
Had this coffee in Italy last summer and loved it. So glad I can get it here, so smooth and the crema is wonderfull.
The coffee beans were not as dark roasted as expected, resulting in a rather weak cup of coffee.
THIS IS A GREAT TASTING COFFEE, AND VERY AFFORDABLE.I LIKE THE CONVINIANCE OF SUBSCRIPTION SO THE COFFEE ARRIVE ON TIME AND I NEVER RUN OUT OF IT.
