I was half a year ago, no regular coffee drinker, but after I had drunk a couple of Lavazza's I enjoy regularly 2 cups daily.
I'm not as Barrista colleague "Andy" but I can say that I have Christmas and New Year 5 competition powder (Illy black + red, Zanzibar, Segafredo, Lavazza Crema e Aroma) bought and tasted with friends.
I would also like to mention that we use measly Bialettikocher and yet could not see any negative tastes. Ranked number one went to
tasting still to this coffee.
Even if there might be many competitors beans, found I / we have / s our number one coffee in it. This does not mean that we replace Lavazza month another a chance.
Yet I wonder if the grind for the little machine not already fit, why you buy then no whole bean and grind themselves accordingly?
