Tierra! Selection Whole Bean Coffee Blend, Medium Roast, 2.2LB Bag , 100% Arabica, Rainforest Alliance Certified, sustainably grow

We've tried a lot of different coffees in our espresso machine and liked a few of them pretty well; typically we were paying $12 up to $18 per kilo bag at Sam's Club. While browsing different espresso/coffee sites the name Lavazza had repeatedly come up, so out of curiosity I splurged on a bag. This isn't a coffee that wows at first sip, but it was notably better than anything we had tried to date, including from the local coffee roaster. The color of the beans is lighter than the typical espresso or french roast, and the smell of the beans is light and pleasant. It doesn't promise an "intenso" kind of cup, and it doesn't deliver that; what it does deliver is nice and smoooooth, nice aroma and good coffee flavor but no bitterness. With every cup I come to appreciate it more, it is just yummy. If this coffee were the same price as what we can get locally, it would be our only coffee . . . but this is 50% more expensive at nearly $30 per bag. I had this coffee yesterday, and switched back to our previous coffee today (I'm sipping a cappuccino right now), gotta say the Lavazza is just better tasting, and not by a small factor. Take this as a warning: if you don't want to spend this much money on your daily coffee, don't try this coffee because you can't un-taste it! There's no hope for us, we're hooked- there might be other coffee out there that is as good, but you won't find it at a grocery or warehouse club; this is a coffee I can end the search on. Is it worth close to $30 a bag? I don't know, all I know is I want it, I need it . . . okay, yes it's worth it.

So, it looks like the reviews are mixed up between multiple products from Lavazza.. However, I am reviewing the Lavazza Tierra! Selection. From my research, this appears to be a product that is generally only sold to up-scale Bars and Cafes. Frankly, I would not classify myself as a discerning connoisseur of high-quality coffee. I am just a guy that enjoys multiple cups of black coffee everyday... I figured I splurge and see why this coffee was more expensive than what I typically buy... The answer is... cause, it is just better... I have trouble finding words to explain it... Strong, Rich, Dark Coffee, but... not bitter, kinda smooth... and I appreciate the obvious afternote hints of sweetness and chocolate after each sip. It is most certainly a quality product that I would recommend, if you can afford it.

Complex, maybe more nasal than some of the coffees I use in my Gaggia Classic. There's almost none of the Ethiopian velvety-slick feel, it's almost all European in taste, meaning the flavor tones are more coffee and less fruit and chocolate, the mouthfeel is clean and not coating/cloying. Great aroma from the crema, and great aftertaste, lasts twenty minutes or more easily. This makes a great straight doubleshot. I don't mix this one with milk/foam, it's good enough on it's own. I never have an issue with grind, pour/pull rate, or crema production. Not overly caffeinated, it doesn't have Robusta, causes very little 'over the temple' headache when overpulled/thin/underdosed, it's pretty temperature-insensitive. While I do appreciate some other coffees with thicker mouthfeel and darker flavors (Klatch Belle Espresso, Black Cat), this coffee is lighter and more 'focused' in flavor than those. I find I pull shots of this LaVazza about twice as often as I pull 'boutique' shots. Just solid coffee, and sets the bar for the standard bean I keep in my kitchen.

This is a great and not too expensive bean when properly brewed. In my espresso machine (a Profitec 700) I use a 9 second grind tamped to 30 pounds and 195 degree water. A good grinder is essential, as you'll want a uniformly fine grind to let all the flavor out. The result has good body and medium crema with a smooth flavor, not too acidic and with plenty of distinct chocolate notes. The beans are fairly uniform with a medium brown and dry surface. There are a few cracked and broken beans, but for the most part, the quality and consistency is very good. Although it's not quite up to the level of the finest Kona and JBM beans I like to brew, it's probably 90% of the quality and flavor at about a third of the price...this is my favorite inexpensive day to day bean. Note that the picture is incorrect - Amazon is shipping the brown-bagged Tierra Intenso product, not the blue.

Compré el café por un precio alto, porque me gusta el sabor. Ahora, el vendedor me ha enviado café, lo que fue embalado en 2020 y caducado hace 3 meses. ESTO ES FRAUDE

Full taste, low acidity, enjoy every cup
