Lavazza, Qualità Oro Coffee Beans, 1 kg

I've bought this coffee more than once and it's one I keep coming back to. It has a really nice smooth flavour with enough strength for a good espresso without tasting overly bitter. The beans smell great when freshly ground and I've found the quality very consistent from bag to bag. A really good everyday coffee and definitely one I'll buy again.

My absolute favourite coffee at a great price compared to my usual supermarket. Just the right strength and never bitter. Usually buy it in the ground version but decided to buy a grinder and try the beans for a change. It's a bit more bother but easily done.

If you want a nice coffee with good crema I highly recommend Lavazza Qualità Oro. Authentic Italian coffee - a blend of six high‑quality Arabica varieties sourced from Central and South America, crafted to create what Lavazza calls the “perfect symphony” of flavour. I have this on subscribe and save. It saves a lot of money compared to supermarket prices. I use it in my DeLonghi bean to cup machine for anything from flat whites to espressos, americano, etc. Friends love it!

You can’t go wrong with Lavazza, always quality beans. I typically have espresso or Lungo and the flavour was a little mild for me, but my wife loves it in flat white. It grinds well in my Sage grinder and produces a very consistent brew. Coffee is all down to taste, if my wife was reviewing, if would be 5 stars. It might be for you.

Love these beans but coffee is a very personal thing I think, but like wine but for me these were worth the price.

This is great coffee (my wife and I love Lavazza coffees and for us this is the best one). It's smooth and has a great balance for drinking anytime if day. If you prefer something with a more instant Initial hit I can recommend adding1 part in five of Exceptional's 'Java Volcanic Island' beans (obtainable at ASDA). - I got a small pack in for some friends who liked that blend as they were visiting for a few days, then to use them up after they had returned home I mixed the remaining Java beans with the Lavazza Qualità Oro and struck lucky, it's a great morning awakener, but only until 'Elevenses', after that we stick with the Qualità Oro.

We love Lavazza coffee beans and Oro is our favourite. We use it in our coffee machine and it produces a lovely crema on top. We have sampled other coffee brands in the past but always come back to Lavazza as it always seems high quality and buying a 1kg is great value for money. I don't like really strong coffee and prefer smooth non-acidic coffee, so Oro is the perfect strength.

Good. The coffee tastes good the first minute it is made. After a while it starts tasting sour. Maybe it's the quality of the product or it's just not something I like. I have ordered the Rossa and preferred that one better.

OK, so I'm not here to say I've tried 1000 different types of coffee beans. In fact, I'm fairly new to coffee and love the opportunity to try something new whenever I can. A while back my wife got me a bean grinder and French press, I think mainly because SHE liked coffee and it was an excuse to get herself a Christmas present while pretending it was actually for me. I liked both and they make for some better tasting coffee. Long story short, we kept trying different types of beans until I came across these at a grocery store. I tend to like "Italian styles" of things and decided to give these a try. I'd tried some Lavazza stuff already with my Keurig so I figured they'd at least be decent. Well, they're the best beans I've ever tried. My wife was reluctant to get them because they were more expensive than others and a larger bag than others we were buying to try, but they're her favourite as well. I've been ordering them from Amazon.ca since then because Amazon tends to be cheaper than the grocery stores by a few dollars, and I always make sure I order enough to get free shipping anyhow.

If you like bright refreshing coffee, the Qualita Oro is for you, but with a caveat if you brew espresso style. I was looking for a light/medium roast coffee that might still have a little of its origin flavor.( **) When I saw the description for floral and fruity in a light/medium roast, I could not resist. When I opened the package…and pay attention here, because the nose really knows, the Qualita Oro had a full rich aroma, without harshness that bites your nose (astringency) and without smokey aroma that you can almost taste (burned). The beans were the color of milk chocolate, and had a slightly scraggly rough surface with a little bit of striations. Based on that, I think this roast is City+ (**). When I brewed this coffee espresso style, which tends to accentuate brightness in coffee, I found it had a little too much brightness. This is where blending came to the rescue! Based on the excellent description of the Oro coffee, I guessed it might need to be balanced out by a darker roasted coffee with a neutral flavor. For that I chose the Perfetto espresso coffee because it was described as having “chocolate” flavor, but not other flavors or spices. Based on the excellent description of the Perfetto, it sounded like an ideal base for blending with the Oro. I mixed the two (Qualita Oro, Perfetto) in equal parts, brewed espresso style and it was amazing. The super thirst-quenching brightness was balanced with a delicious light chocolate midtone free of any smokey flavor. It was amazing how these two coffees in a 50/50 blend complemented each other to make the blend better than the sum of its parts. This is just one experiment based on my tastes and on brewing espresso style. The ratios will be different based on the brewing method and fineness of grind. I highly recommend blending Qualita Oro + Perfetto in 1:1 ratio for espresso style brewing. ** ROAST v ORIGIN ———————- Just a final note on coffee roast style vs origin flavor. They do not refer to the same thing! Most common misconception is that French roast is a flavor. It is not! It refers to the degree of roasting. Roast styles, or degree of roasting, range from super light “Cinnamon,” to the first pyrolysis crack during roasting called “City,” to the second pyrolysis crack during roasting called “Full City,” and beyond where shiny oil is clearly on the bean surface called “Vienna,” to even darker shiny oily beans with little divots breaking off the bean surfaces and all origin flavor obliterated by the roast called “French,” and then to nearly charcoaled beans with only the roast flavor of burn called “Italian.” Origin flavors emanate from the bean itself, a result of where it is grown (latitude and longitude, terroir) and how it is processed (wet or dry). Flavors such as blueberry of a Harrar coffee, spice of a Columbian coffee, peanut of a Brazilian coffee, refreshing brightness and full body of a Guatemalan coffee, and perfect balance of a Panama coffee, should all be detectable with the right degree of roast, probably no more than Full City+.

Excelente café

Super coffee

تستخدم في مكائن تقطير القهوة. جربتها في الكوفي ميكر، لم يناسبني طعم القهوة أبدا. 🤪 كنت أظنها بنفس طعم العبوات الصغيرة حجم ٢٥٠مجم لكن للأسف مختلفة جدا.😔 مين يدلني على مكان يبيع العبوات الصغيرة من نفس النوع وله مني الشكر والتقدير؟
