Lavazza Caffe Espresso Ground Coffee, 8-Ounce Can NESPRESSO COMPATIBLE CAPSULES

A friend introduced me to Lavazza a few years ago, and I have to say it's one of the nicest coffees I've had. I use it in my stove top espresso maker, and it brews a perfect cup every time. I also use the decaf version, which is also really good for decaf. My only gripe would be that it's neither fair trade or organic.

ESPRESSO Lavazza in Blu - Espresso Ground Coffee, 8.8-Ounce Tins (Pack of 4)

To get great espresso, you need the grind to be perfect. Unless you're willing to shell out $350+ for a professional level grinder (like a Rancilio Rocky), you've got to buy pre-ground espresso (a less-than-professional burr grinder will cause your espresso to taste burnt and watery). Most espresso connoisseurs will agree that Illy (the brand in the silver cans) produces the best pre-ground espresso; the only problem is the price: an 8.8 oz can will run you around $15, which puts the price per pound a little under $30. I had tried the standard Lavazza before, and was unimpressed. However, on a whim, I picked up a can of 'in Blu' a few days ago.....

Let me cut to the chase: I would say that Lavazza in Blu is actually BETTER than Illy -- the taste and finish are perfect, and even in an inexpensive machine like a Krups, you can still get an amazing amount of crema. With minimal effort, 'in Blu' will allow you to make, at home, espresso drinks that rival the quality of the nicest coffee shops (not to mention the subpar brews of S-bucks!). The fact that over 2 lbs. of 'in Blu' goes for $22 is just the icing on the cake!

Lavazza Qualita Rossa - Caffe Ground Espresso, 8.8-Ounce Bricks

I lived in Europe for a year and a half and drank this coffee almost daily. I would drink Lavazza and Illy almost exclusively. Since moving back to the US in January 2008 I have been drinking sub-par American coffee. The usual suspects, Green Mountain, Starbucks, Newman's Own, Seattle's Best, etc. I didn't remember what quality coffee tasted like and so I continued to drink these coffees pretending they were good. It was not until I ordered Lavazza and brewed it in my French Press that I remembered what real coffee was supposed to taste like.
