I don’t pretend to be an expert or a connoisseur, but I really appreciate good coffee (to my palate at least)I would not touch toasted garbanzo, (ala f*lgers, etc.) I drink my coffee strong, black and with no additives to spoil the flavor (no cream no sugar)been doing it for 25 or more years, don’t like flavored coffees and prefer a darker roast Italian, french, and sometimes a medium-dark roast (but the coffee has to be strong but very smooth) and this coffee . . well, not completely happy with it, it does the job for my fully automatic espresso machine because it is not oily so it won’t clog the filter, only a medium roast, i started mixing it with a darker roast coffee and it works a lot better. Again it does the job, will try something different. I am curious about the coffee bean direct 6 bean espresso blend.

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.

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.

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.
