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.
The blend can deliver a smooth, non-acidic finish with rich crema for espresso drinks.
The beans can work well in automatic espresso machines and produce consistent results for espresso-based drinks.
The coffee can taste chocolaty and smooth, especially when brewed with an Aeropress.
Subscribe and Save can combine with additional cash back while avoiding rush shipping.
The coffee can taste stale or not fresh, with freshness varying between orders.
The flavor can turn too bold after daily espresso use, reducing perceived complexity.
The espresso experience can be disappointing, requiring mixing with something better.
The crema character may be wasted when not used with an espresso maker, potentially tasting sour or bitter.

This may help explain why some longtime fans of the Italian-imported version feel that the newer batches taste different and are less appealing.

I bought this 3 months ago and I've been brewing it with a super automatic. I have not found a better alternative at this price.
I don't use this for espresso and just use it in a regular drip coffee maker for my daily morning brew. My taste preference is medium roast that is not bitter / burnt. This one was the least bitter and had pleasant chocolate notes. Somewhat similar to Pete's Big Bang.
