Editorial Reviews

LavAzza, Italy's favourite coffee, has been roasting its fine coffee, unequalled both in taste and freshness, since 1895. LavAzza Qualita Rossa is a blend of the highest quality coffees. It is evenly roasted and carefully ground to produce a coffee of exceptional strength, body and aroma. Product of Italy.

Real Italian espresso

Reviewed by Caesar, 2010-03-01

Qualita' Rossa is what I had in Italy, awesome quality and taste, not over-roasted as many pretend-espressos. The convenience of having a 4-pack automatically shipped by Amazon every 3 months AND on top of that having a discount for doing that is unbeatable. I doubt I'll ever get tired of QR's taste, and if I do I'll stop the shipments.

I LIKE THIS BRAND BUT !

I USE MY ESPRESSO MACHINE EVERY DAY, I HAVE THE BLACK CAN VERY GOOD, THE BLUE BRICK VERY GOOD. THIS ONE [RED BRICK} IS GOOD BUT I DON'T GET A GOOD CREMA,NOR DO I FIND IT STRONG ENOUGH. I ALSO USE ALLISSA COFFEE ALSO AVAILABLE FROM AMAZON. I THINK ALISSA IS THE BEST ONE,NEXT THE BLUE BRICK AND BLACK CAN OF LAVAZZA.ALL THESE ESPRESSOS LEAVE A PLEASANT TASTE AND HAVE NO BITTERNESS TO THEM. I DO NOT THINK YOU COULD GO WRONG WITH ANY ONE OF THESE. STEVEN

Excellent espresso.

I enjoy a good espresso every morning. I make mine in a stovetop espresso maker and it comes out beutifully. Lavazza Qualita Rossa is a medium roast blend of 30% Robusta and 70% Arabica. It is very aromatic and has a good body and nice finish.

The best coffee ever!

My entire family loves this coffee-smooth, wonderful flavor-we don't drink anything else! It is perfect for drip coffee or for use in a Bialetti espresso maker. It's a perfect care package item to send the kids away at college too. Try it and believe me, you'll never want to drink any other coffee except Lavazza again!

Great Coffee - Beware Pierced Packages

Reviewed by S. Francis, 2009-12-09

This is very good coffee and makes excellent Espresso, especially if you use a stove stop Espresso maker. I use a 6 cup Espresso maker with two heaped tea spoons of coffee to make a full mug full, topped off with fat free Half & Half. Yum.

It's strong (obviously), full flavored and very smooth. One of the best coffees I have ever tasted and so reasonably priced. I've been buying this stuff for years, drink a mug or two every morning and it never gets old. In fact, I look forward to my coffee each morning.

I've recently starting buying it from Amazon because my local World Market closed down. Both my orders so far have contained one brick which was pierced. All the other bricks were solid and hard to the touch because their vacuum seal was still intact. However, the one brick was soft to the touch because the seal had been compromised somewhere.

The first time this happened, I put it down to bad luck and just one of those things. However, my second order suffered the same problem. I'm not a big fan of pierced packages. For one, you don't know what pierced it and for another, the flavor won't be as good because air has got into the package.

I don't know if Amazon themselves received it like this or if something happened to it after Amazon stored it in their facility. Either way, not good.

5 stars for the coffee. 3 stars for the less than perfect packaging. 4 stars overall.
