 Excellent BlendJul 29, 2008
By Nicholas Chase
"Composer"
Lavazza is a great Italian brand name and the Crema e Gusto blend is a fairly new introduction to the Lavazza catalog. I first tried the Crema e Gusto in Europe and quickly became addicted! I packed my suitcase full when I came home and it was worth the effort. All of the Lavazza blends are excellent, but this blend is particularly special- it is very smooth and rich with virtually no bitterness at all. I brew it in a stove-top espresso maker and it's absolutely perfect every time.

My favorite coffee. Very rich and full flavored.Oct 10, 2009
By Derrick
"Vitamin D"
One taste was all it took for me. I tried Lavazza at a local coffee house in Denver and really enjoyed the taste. No bitterness at all. Very full flavored coffee.
I came across this as the word "Crema" caught my eye. Now I am ordering it using the subscribe and save. It is running me $17.41 for every order and that's with free 2 day shipping because of the Prime Membership.
Each brick lasts about 10 days for 2 people drinking 6 cups of coffee every morning. I use 1 tablespoon coffee for every 6 ounces of water brewed in a Target Michael Graves design automatic drip coffeemaker. The "Flavor" button really brings it out in this coffee. I love my coffee with half and half and it really seems to compliment it well.
The packages are vacuumed sealed and take up very little space. It really is a 5 star coffee.

Rich and flavorful - even from the "wrong" pot!Jun 23, 2010
By L'esprit de Henri P
"Science and Method"
I found a brick of Lavazza Crema e Gusto at a local shop some months ago, and tried it in my stovetop espresso maker. For some reason I thought the grind was what I needed (it *does* have a picture of a stovetop machine on it!) but the grind is really very fine, more like what a professional-type machine needs.
But this works even in my Bialetti Brikka 4-Cup Stovetop Percolator stovetop machine, and generates a beautiful crema. The Brikka really wants a slightly coarser grind, so I have to be *very* careful to put in the coffee with a light touch, and not to pack it down even a tiny bit.
The flavor, as others have written, is very rich without being too dark-roasted, with lovely chocolatey notes. Bitterness can come if I overfill the maker so that the coffee is packed too hard, which causes boiling and burning. So care must be taken when using a stovetop maker. But it's truly worth it, because it gives such delicious coffee.

Delicious!Aug 20, 2009
By E. Grimm
I purchased this to use with my Bialetti Moka, and it is delicious!
I like to use 2 to 3 heaping teaspoons in my 6-cup maker, and it makes enough for two (large) lattes.
It reminds me of working in Starbucks...that smell of delicious brewing coffee and espresso!
(Unlike Starbucks coffee, however, this coffee is smooth and doesn't taste burnt at all.)
The packaging was a bit smaller than expected, but a little sure goes a long way!
