We have a collection of coffee and espresso from around the world in our pantry. One of the brands you’ll always see stocked is Lavazza. Years ago, we started off drinking Lavazza Caffè Espresso with our first espresso maker, then we were introduced to Crema & Gusto espresso which we made with our stovetop espresso percolator. And now, we’ve got another set added to our collection – Lavazza’s newly launched specialty drip coffee which comes in four delicious flavors: Gran Aroma, Classico, Gran Selezione, and Perfetto.
Tasting Notes
Gran Aroma is a balanced, highly aromatic blend of premium 100% Arabica beans from South America. It has a floral aroma and citrusy flavor profile, ideal for the true coffee connoisseur.
Classico‘s balanced roast time produces its signature intense aroma of dried fruits, along with the rich and full body of beans sourced from South America and Africa. Enjoy this blend as part of your everyday coffee ritual.
Gran Selezione comes exclusively from Rainforest Alliance Certified™ coffee farms. It is a premium Arabica blend, sourced from Central and South America, with chocolate undertones and a full-bodied taste. 100% fine Arabica, 100% sustainably grown.
Perfetto is made from 100% Arabica beans from Central and South America. The taste is bold with lingering caramel notes. It is roasted a bit longer to produce a “perfect” and characteristically Italian dark flavor profile. The ideal choice for those who love the pure pleasure of espresso roasts.
We tried brewing all four with a French press and with our coffee maker. After tasting all four varieties, we’ve reached a unanimous decision of Perfetto as being our favorite, regardless of what device was used to brew the coffee. We love the bold flavors and how it almost tastes like an espresso. Perfetto is great alone, or paired with desserts or cookies, like the many kinds I often buy at Eataly NYC. Classico is delicious blend for all coffee drinkers, and is great to have as a morning brew.
Lavazza can be purchased at retail stores or on their website. All gift sets are 20% off on their website (hey, it’s never too late to buy a gift for someone).
Disclosure: We received a sampler pack of Lavazza coffee . We received no further compensation from Lavazza or their representatives.
