Lavazza InBlu Ground Espresso, 8.8-Ounce Can

Coffee flavor has a slight cardamon finish, bitter and overall light finish.4 starts for the seller, because the can came in dented and plastic lid "chewed up" by some impact. It was in a box with another can which was perfectly fine, therefore I assume it was already dented prior to shipping. However, the can was not punctured and there was a "pop" on opening, so coffee remained fresh.

I do like this espresso. I finished the whole can in about a week's time, so if that doesn't prove it.That being said, the InBlu doesn't have as strong or as robust a flavor as the black can of Lavazza. I was a little disappointed as soon as I popped the seal because the smell of the grounds didn't knock me over. Usually a black can of Lavazza carries a smell "punch" that lets me know that it's going to make one amazing cup of espresso.Sure enough, the flavor was good, but just good. For the price, I wouldn't buy this again, although if it were considerably cheaper than the black can, I would. I just wanted to try something different and unfortunately this one didn't end up being worth the extra cost.

This is superior to the black canned LavAzza espresso. It is a finer grind and roasted to a richer flavor. I find this is much more comparable to Illy espresso in the fine grind and flavor. To my tastes, I could replace Illy with InBlu and save a ton of money because they are close enough that I'm satisfied. Your mileage may vary.Because of the finer grind, some cheaper espresso machines may struggle to draw a shot, even with very light tapping. My 100 dollar Delonghi took 45 seconds to draw a lightly tapped shot. My Gaggia had no trouble pulling terrific shots with this stuff though and the flavor is excellent. Kind of a darker and more robust flavor than the regular Lavazza but not as stout or bitter as the Illy.

This coffee is ground fine enough for your quality espresso machine. Flavor is very good with complex layers of chocolate and a decent cream. Note, however, that once you open the can, the coffee starts aging quickly. Use all within one day for best results.

Love this coffee. I do not like espresso coffee but this is more like regular coffee that is espresso ground. It's not bitter, it's not harsh, it's not overly strong like most espressos, it's perfect. Lots of flavor from the first cup to the last. I bought this for years until it became too expensive, but I thought I would treat myself to this order and I'm glad I did, I deserve it.

For some reason I just can't get very excited about this coffee. It is smooth and balanced but ultimately boring. Also there is bitter aftertaste that's not very pleasant which sort of ruins it. Crema is meh. Finer grind than other Lavazzas, but I don't feel this makes much difference in my Breville. From now on I'll stick with Lavazza Caffe Espresso for 100% Arabica and Crema e Gusto for Robusto blend.

Not my favorite Lavazza...I've been a Lavazzacoffee drinker for quite some time, and liked the idea of pre ground. This coffee has an acidic taste which did not sit well with my stomach. I'm not sure if it was just the crop of beans in my can, but would not buy again.

Not bad. But I have the pretty good coffee maker and I really cannot see the difference between this blue jar and black Lavazza espresso jar.

No better than the Lavazza red or the Illy coffee I also use. Was caught out with postage, so wont be re ordering.
