Lavazza Gran Crema Espresso, Single Dose Pods (Pack of 150)

Great stronger pods but delivery was 2 weeks late

Smooth, clean flavor. No bitterness or after taste. This is now my go to Espresso pod. OMO the brew quality from these pods is superior to either K-Cups or Nespresso. Similarly, the Lavazza Gran Creama Whole Bean coffee is my choice for a fresh grind brew. Recommended

We do enjoy these pods. They are ESE standard format (check your machine specifics) and the quality of the coffee is very tasty and creamy. At this price beats the pods we were previously buying at the common big name chains

Fantastic flavour. The price has increased over the years, so I tried a different product and it just couldn’t compare. The flavour of Lavazza is superb

I've personally sipped hundreds of espresso shots brewed from the Lavazza Gran Crema E.S.E. pods using my Delonghi DEDICA (EC680M). Full disclosure though, my wife does not like it, and she prefers other roasters, but for me it's the perfect flavor profile - not bitter at all as an espresso shot (that's very important to me), and I find the aroma wonderful on its own but it becomes absolutely amazing when I rub the rim with some lemon peel before enjoying the aroma.My Delonghi DEDICA does not brew a very thick crema in general, and the crema with these are as rich and thick as I can produce with any other coffee - either E.S.E. or fresh ground. I assume your results will differ if you have a different espresso machine. On this same machine, my wife likes the flavor of the Illy pods but I think this machine has too low a pressure to brew them quickly - takes anywhere from 20 to 30 seconds for the Illy pods (possibly due to a finer grind) but with no better richness of flavor and no thicker crema. The Lavazza pods are a breeze, typically only taking about 8 to 10 seconds, and that's perfect for me.[Update Feb 27, 2019]I used a timer this morning to check my brewing times and the Lavazza pods came in at 16 ot 17 seconds after pre-wet, and 22 to 23 seconds total brewing time. I guess I was so happy with the "short" brewing time that I exaggerated, just a little! ;-)
