Caffe Vergnano Espresso Roast "Crema 800 Blend" Whole Bean Coffee | 2.2 Lb Bag (1 kilo) | Imported from Italy

One of my favorite to go coffees for use in my Jura machine. I tried this for the first time in Italy and ever since it’s been on my permanent rotation of coffees I buy. The quality and flavor are always on point!

Purchasing for the third time, I am starting to skip coffee out as I have a better coffee at home!

Very good coffee for espresso

I fell in love with espresso in the cafes of Paris. Coming home, I knew I wanted to recreate that experience at home since the "commercial" espressos I could purchase all tasted burnt and overdone to me. I read up in forums about which coffee to buy and, following their suggestions to purchase locally roasted beans, I got samples from several local roasters. Unfortunately, their bitterness quotient was through the roof! Try as I might, I poured shot after shot down the drain.After more consideration, I turned to Amazon and started browsing coffees from Italy. This one came highly recommended both by reviewers here and on other coffee sites too. I decided to dive in and give it a try. Boy am I glad that I did! I finally got that smooth, medium flavored coffee with a creamy, luscious crema that we had been craving! It only took me a few tries to get the machine dialed in on these beans. I went back and tried those local beans again, but they did not come close. If you are looking for a smooth, rich blend with the right balance of crema and coffee, give these beans a try!

I'm an experienced espresso drinker. Was really looking forward to this blend (and brand) as I have not tried these before. I prefer strong Italian espresso blends to pull on my lever machine. I was really hoping the espresso would be a little darker with more punch, especially since this blend has 40% Robusto beans.The beans smell great with a chocolate aroma, but the finished cup tastes mild and medium. For me, it does not stand up enough for a latte so that the flavors come through well in the cup. You may love it, but for me, it does not have the punch compared to a favorite, Caffe Borbone Miscela Blu.

This is my coffee with lots of milk in the morning and straight and dark from an old-fashioned expresso coffee maker after my main meal. What I love is that my stomach has taken to it either way while my taste buds are having a field day.

These coffee beans are the best that I have had. I make a lot of espresso each day, and crema and flavor are the attributes I look for. The crema is very good and the flavor is very full, yet smooth. This is my favorite coffee bean to use in my Jura Espresso Machine.

This blend is perfect if you like darker roasts for your espresso drinks .Had it at an Italian bakery and immediately ordered this bag. Very good chocolate undertones.
