Lavazza Gold Selection Espresso
I just ordered my 2nd Bag of Beans. I had been using the LA in Blue pre-ground (which is also very good) but the Whole Beans on this LA Gold produce a very good Espresso with a good Crema, one of my favs for sure

mjackson ♦ I agree this coffee seems to have just the right balance for me as an espresso or served in a milk based drink. I really like this coffee a lot.
Lavazza Gold Selection Espresso
I've been trying mostly local brands (Fresh Market espresso blend, Larry's Beans espresso, Illy, etc...), and by far, this is my favorite! It's much less bitter than anything I've tried so far and has great crema. I'm using this with a Gaggia Accademia super-automatic. Highly recommend trying...

mjackson ♦ This is a great coffee and I am very satisfied with it also. Makes a great espresso as well as working great for a milk drink as well.

Are these beans delivered freshly roasted? Is there a roast date on the bag?

A A Kathryn,
We are constantly getting shipments in from Lavazza, so the beans are always rather fresh. They are not freshly roasted like they would be from a local roaster. On the Lavazza bags, there is no roast date, but there is a "best by" date. Being in sealed bags, the beans are still good for a while after that point too.

mjackson ♦ I really like the Pienorama and also the Gran Riserva. I think you may notice as the price goes up on the Lavazza Coffees they get smoother. You may like them more all depending on your tastes and what you drink. If you like straight espresso you may want to stick with Gran Riserva. If you like milk based drinks our most popular seller is the Super Crema. I would try all of them as they are all good and see what you like best.

I've been trying out lots of different brands and styles of espresso, but included in every order is a bag of the Lavazza Gold. It's a staple for our mornings.

Lavazza Gold Selection Espresso
I was just wondering that blend i would get that might be close to starbucks caramel machiato. My wife loves that and so i want to try and get as close as i can to that flavor. I know that i cant get it just like it but if i could get close that would be great. Thanks for any input you can give me!!

mjackson ♦ Butch,
The coffee is a small part of that drink. It really is made with Caramel sauce - http://www.wholelattelove.com/Ghirardelli/ghir_sauce.cfm and vanilla syrup. - http://www.wholelattelove.com/Monin/monin_750ml.cfm. As far as the coffee goes a stronger tasting coffee like Lavazza super crema would be a part of the recipe but actually the other ingredients will give her the taste you are looking for.

mjackson ♦ We get this product in all the time as it is one of our most popular coffees. It should be good for at least a year from the time of purchase as the packaging is very good at keeping coffee usable for a long time.
