For example, if someone says, "this is gross, Dunkin Donuts regular coffee is so much better," then I know they don't like stronger roasts and probably should stick to "Donut Shop Blend" type coffees.
Community Reviews
Lavazza Espresso Barista Gran Crema is a medium roast whole bean blend that shines in espresso machines, especially super automatic setups, with smooth chocolatey flavor, rich crema, and low bitterness. It also works well in French press, Aeropress, and drip, and the price is often described as strong value for the bag size. The main knocks are that freshness can be inconsistent and some batches taste too bold, flat, or stale. It is a solid everyday coffee if you like a fuller, less acidic cup.
