 "Tried a variety of pods, and these have been the best" | 2008-09-12 |

| We tried a variety of pods in our Francis Francis X5 and these were by far the best. Been ordering this stuff for years now. The taste is very smooth and not bitter. This stuff spoils us because the espresso at the coffeeshops around here are never as good.br /br /Of course, crema-wise you'll still do better with whole beans and a high quality grinder. We get a thin crema top with these but that's about it. As I think everyone understands there's a tradeoff to be made with pods--and no other pod I've tried has ever been any better for me in this respect--I haven't held that against this product.br /br /Highly recommended. |

| These seemed to be the most consistent pods. I tried a sampler pack before of many different brands and the Illy and Lavazza pods had the most consistent least bitter taste. Lavazza pods have nice creme. The water flows faster compared to the Illy pods so need to run the expresso machine for a little less time. The Illy pods are probably a little better quality - but at twice the price are not worth the additional investment. I would strongly recommend these. And the shipper was on time and the goods packed well. They do come loose so you will need a container to store them (unlike the illy pods that are boxed) |

| I have been using Lavazza for the past 20 years since discovering it in Italy. I am glad to see it become more available in the past few years. For the true barista go for the ground lavazza bar but for the easy no fuss no mess espresso or capuccino/latte the Lavazza pod is consitently the best that I have tried. I use both products and have been very satisfied. Works great in my krups with the pod filter basket. I highly reccommend it. |

| "Smooth taste, best ESE pods we've tried" | 2008-06-19 |

| We've had a Francis! Francis! X3 Espresso machine for well over a year now, and have gone through about a thousand ESE pods. We've tried hundreds of Illy, Espressione Arabica, and Espressione Classic pods, but these Lavazza pods are the best so far. The taste is consistently smooth, without the varying levels of bitterness we tasted in the other pods. We ordered 150 Lavazza pods about a month ago and I'm about to put in our next order. This is definitely the fastest we've ever gone through an order of 150 pods. |

| I have three to four shots of this a day. Wouldn't be without it. Wish the seller could send to APO addresses. No matter, worth the wait! |

| I've just received my 150 ESE Pods and I couldn't be happier. They produce great espresso with my Francis Francis! I still like to drink Illy once in while, I believe it produces a slightly better espresso, but it is almost three times the price of these pods. I'd recommend to buy these for your daily coffee and to buy the Illy and other finer brands for the weekends! |

Perfect roast. Not too dark - this coffee is not bitter or acidy like others with darker roast.
Perfect espresso. Just like in Italy. |

| "Much better tasting than the Starbucks Brand" | 2007-09-03 |

| We have been using the Gran Crema espresso pods in our Starbucks 'Barista' machine, which comes with the ESE pod adapter. We had alot of problems with weak, or bitter, and outdated Starbuck's pods and found the Lavazza Pods here on Amazon. We switched and haven't looked back. The Lavazza pod is consistently very rich and creamy with great flavor (and aroma). They have an excellent shelf life (it takes us about 3 mos to go though 150). My only fear is that I will run out and have to buy more of the Starbuck's brand to hold us over - or (shudder) go back to the mess and inconvienience of grinding beans. |
