Seriously? imo, Starbucks coffee is the worst by far and not suitable for human consumption.

Try Mayorga organic Cubano roast. We love it when it goes on sale from time to time. Conventional coffee has a lot of pesticides on it. If you don't like it, Costco has a no questions asked return policy. And I agree with the other post, Starbucks is horrible.

Community Reviews

Lavazza Cafe Espress whole bean coffee is a budget Italian style espresso option that can work well for lattes and other espresso drinks when dialed in correctly. The beans are described as a medium to dark medium roast with plenty of flavor, and the whole bean version gets praise as a strong value at Costco pricing. It may need a finer grind, careful extraction, and good puck prep, and the oily beans can clog a grinder. The taste also lands below favorite Starbucks, Kirkland, and some local roasts for some palates, especially if expecting a darker roast.

  • This whole-bean Lavazza can work well for lattes when brewed with a finer grind and a short infusion.

  • This coffee can be stored in the fridge to reduce oiliness before grinding and brewing.

  • Costco's no-questions-asked return policy can act as a safety net if the flavor does not match expectations.

  • Proper espresso extraction technique can turn this coffee into a noticeably better espresso experience.

  • Some experiences describe the coffee as mediocre or inferior compared with other Costco options like Kirkland Colombian or SF Coffee French roast.

  • The espresso flavor can disappoint, especially for people who prefer dark-roast Starbucks espresso beans.

    GreyLake3789GreyLake3789

  • Dialing in this coffee for espresso can be technical, requiring grinder adjustments and careful shot parameters.

  • Oily-looking beans may clog a grinder, which can create extra maintenance during espresso setup.

Bought this the other day and I was disappointed with the taste and flavor. It's noticeably worse than the Starbucks espresso beans we get.

Yeah seriously. We usually like the dark roast espresso beans from Starbucks tho. I know they're not the best but we get them in addition to ones from local coffee shops. The lavazza was just so bad, we tried it on both the automatic and semi auto machines we have

Coffee, the berry of a bush, has an external part (pericarp) that is composed of many layers that tend to shield it from environmental effects. In addition, roasting the green coffee beans reduces almost all of the bad stuff. My source of this information is The Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, a credible publication.

And,if you are buying pre-ground coffee, it may not be exactly what you think it is because inferior beans (non-arabica) and other fillers are allowed, by the FDA; they typically do not label this or voluntarily disclose this information. One exception, that I know of, is Cafe du Monde, which is a mixture of coffee and roasted chicory root. Search for and check out reputable sources to validate my comments if you like.

Lavazza is a medium roast, more like Pikes or Breakfast blend. I like Lavazza although medium roast Starbucks are fine too. I can understand why you don't like Lavazza if you're used to dark roast, but be careful of the oily beans clogging your grinder...

This is my favorite Lavazza variety for lattes. It's on the dark side of medium just short of that Charbucks flavor. It's 100% Arabica so doesn't have a lot of the crema usually provided by the addition of Robusta beans as in the Super/Gran Crema varieties. While the beans can look quite oily they are quite dry overall, so need a finer grind than most quality medium coffees. I store mine in the fridge where the oiliness disappears. The coffee has lots of flavor so you want a quick extraction (with short infusion) otherwise you'll get some harsh flavors. Overall, if you like this style of Italian coffee, it's impossible to find better value than this.

Starting 8/24 Mayorga coffee will be $5 off (flyer scans in other post).

Might not be the best in the world (others say) but I have had way way worse for way more money in the past. No limit, I bought 7 bags at this price. This will last us quite a while. Coffee prices have done nothing but go up up up, better grab some if you can find it.

Its also important to know how to properly extract shots of expresso! I.e. how fine is the grind is, grams per shot, and temp. Not to mention preparing a perfect puck. Once I got this right, it was a game changer!!!
