:

just say no to crema y aroma. literally their bottom of the barrel. get at least the espresso italiano, or better super crema, or best gran crema.

and yes, this is barely worth the $7 I paid for it

here, even at $16 this is better: https://a.co/d/3YVxMJ4

While I don't think this flavor is even close to as bad as some people make it out to be (and believe I actually liked it, IIRC), it certainly wouldn't crack my top 3 Lavazza beans list, altho I do remember thinking something was different, or even off about it (maybe it was weak and light? but can't recall exactly).

I def agree with your recommendations. The only change I'd make is putting Super Crema at the top. Then, I'd prolly put their regular Espresso (which I believe to be the espresso Italiano you mentioned) ahead of Gran Crema at 2nd, as I consider it to be more universally liked and thus a 'safer' pick. While I haven't had Gran Crema in a couple of years, I believe it had a more bold taste and profile, at least in comparison. Wanted to try the Crema e Gusto for literally years and finally got to this past year. They are without a doubt not only the worst Lavazza roast, BY FAR, but some of (if not) the worst beans I've personally brewed in my life...

Then again, FWIW I'm certainly no coffee connoisseur, nor am I some hipster who turns their nose up to Starbucks and only drinks Blue Bottle coffee either, so YMMV.
Dunno how people drink Peet's; that is definitely some burnt ass coffee (at least their dark roasts, which comprise of like 90% of their beans).
