Lavazza Gusto Crema | Roasted Coffee Beans | Medium Roast | Arabica Robusta Blend | Bag|1000 Grams

The flavour is beautiful. The roast is rightly dark, but not too dark. It is perfect. It has been decades since I drank Qualita Oro. So I cannot compare this one to Qualita Oro which is Ethiopean if I remember right. That would cost you Rs. 7,200 a kilo. Qualita Rosa would cost about half of that. At 800 a kilo, Gusto Crema is a bargain. India is an important coffee grower. I have bought Chikmangloor grown Plantation and Peaberry beans from a local reseller. I have bought Classic coffee beans, Rage, Vero which stopped the Indian production of beans. For a lot of years I had to find a balance between flavour and the cost which Vero had offered. After that stopped I was on the lookout for an alternative. And of course, for the price, I just could not ignore Lavazza Gusto Crema. The cost actually made me wonder (it's so cheap) whether I should take the risk. But I could rest assured with the Lavazza name. For Rs. 800 a kilo, it is really cheap. But rest assured, the quality is international. If you enjoy real coffee, if you can appreciate a coffee from a gourmet coffee shop like CCD, Barista, Starbucks etc., then this coffee is for you. Please don't buy it if you like coffee with strong chicory flavour. Don't buy this coffee if you are the one who adds a tinge of Nescafe to a glass of milk and lots of sugar. If you are an instant-coffee lover, this definitely isn't for you. If you like your beans over-roasted so that they almost smell like dried fish or prawns, this isn't your coffee. But if you have never tasted the real coffee or find it too expensive, this definitely is worth a try. It is real coffee at a bargain price. I can understand why Vero (I loved their coffee by the way) had to shut down the Indian manufacture. I can give 100% guarantee for this Lavazza Gusto Crema.

Overall 4/5: Great quality productFreshness: 5/5 as roast date was just a week before purchase date and had fresh & intense aromaBitterness: 3.5/5 found more bitter due to robusta but better than most indian brands i have tried.Acidity: 3/5 found it to be more acidic due to robustaRoast: 5/5 very well evenly roastedImportant Note: The coffee beans quality is completely different what is being sold in the American market. In America they use high quality Arabica beans (bean size is 50-60% bigger than what is being sold in India). Reason: to keep the price low in Indian market.Hence Indian packet is more acidic, bitter and a bit less in aroma. But overall it is still better than most Indian coffee brands in the Indian market that I have used so far.

I mean itQuite literallyThis coffee is something you shouldn’t buy.Unless you are serious about it.Just the way you commit in your marriage vow.Coffee is known for its caffeine. But this coffee is not just about that.It is about the aroma.You literally smell coffee (and love) in the air.It is about the ground.Coarse or smooth, the flavour is unique.It is about sustainability too!We use our brewed coffee as a scrub.The end result?Smooth hair and shiny skin, EVERY FREAKING DAY!I have been buying this product for almost two years now.And our every day routine is to make this- Measured quantity of coffee- Mechanically ground- Moka pot brewed- Espresso cup servedAlmost a twenty minute ritual of having coffee.That’s our routine. Every day.So, if you aren’t serious about this coffee, don’t buy it. Because it is too good that you cannot stop adding it to your pantry purchase every month.And why did I say it will influence your marriage?Because the entire coffee ritual is done together and we enjoy the process every morning :)

Now price is doubled since last couple of months.✅ Pros👃 Aroma Game Strong – Smooth, chocolaty, mildly nutty… pure café vibes!☕ Balanced Roast – Medium-dark roast gives a rich taste without being bitter.🫘 Even Beans – Uniform roast, no odd beans in the pack.🔄 Versatile – Works well in moka pot, espresso machine, or French press.🇮🇹 Authentic Italian Blend – You’ll say “Bellissimo!” after first sip 😄❌ Cons💤 Not Too Strong – Lacks that extra caffeine kick if you love bold coffee.💸 Slightly Premium – But not outrageous for the quality.🧊 Cold Brew? Meh. – Tastes better hot than chilled.💸 About the Price🏷️ Mid-Range – You’re paying for smoothness and brand.💡 Great if you're stepping up from supermarket brands.😄 Fun PointSmells so good while grinding… neighbors might think you opened a café 😆

This coffee is not that strong, I was sleepy after 3 hours. On the other hand, blue tokai coffee is much more stronger and the caffeine hits the spot. I think they over roasted the beans as they look burnt to me, destroying the flavour profile and less crema. If you see this review trust me, don’t buy this especially if you have a moka pot. Strength:LowQuality:Average for the price

Quite good

The best beans I have ever tried. Rich in cream, and completely a different aroma. Brew your coffee with these beans and a spoon of organic jagery powder.
