 Inexpensive For A Reason January 6, 2009

Nasty robusta beans make for a sour cup. I bought this on deep discount for my emergency pantry, but I think I'd sooner give up coffee altogether.
 Wow. I truly didn't expect this, it's great! December 16, 2008
D. Howell (Mesa, AZ)
My experiences had been drip coffee - a lot of it, over the years. I recently bought an espresso machine, and started experimenting with different coffees.
Some stuff I didn't like all that much - Illy dark and medium roast was kind of flat for me, sort of bland. Peet's Italian stuff was chocolately, but muddy/muddled in flavors.
This, though, Crema e Aroma, absolutely lives up to it's name. Lots of flavor starting with the aroma when you open the bag and grind: mouth-filling, round, with that coffee taste I adore. It's got a fair amount of persistence, that taste, which may not be great for some folks, but I really like it.
I get nice crema from this, pressure PF or plain PF (it's a small retail DeLonghi BAR-32, but I have a non-pressure filter for it). The shot starts dark, blonding only a little, and the crema is a beautiful camel tan/brown that fills the room with the smell of great coffee.
It's got some caffeine, for sure, I get a pretty strong buzz after a double.
I love this coffee!
Really horrible November 4, 2008

This is really horrible coffee. It is especially bad in an espresso machine. The taste is completely different than the Lavazza beans that come in a blue bag. There is a reason this brown bag is cheaper.

Maxwell House ground coffee from the supermarket is beter coffee. Searched underorganic coffee and got Lavazza. Amazon should give me about $13.00 back as a credit!..... Dave
great value November 1, 2008

I tried Crema e Aroma and compared it with the more expensive Lavazza Super Crema. I liked the Crema e Aroma better, because of its more pronounced and pleasant flavor. The Super Crema tasted generic to me. In addition to one's own subjective taste preferences, the final outcome depends on one's espresso machine, grinder, and coffee amount per shot. My machine is a DeLonghi Magnifica with a built-in grinder, set to max. coffee and almost minimum water per shot. I am sure that there a better coffees out there but Crema e Aroma is a compelling value.
