Product Description
Lavazza in Blu is a premium ground espresso coffee carefully blended using select 100% Arabica coffees from Brazil and from South America. Lavazza in Blu features a velvety rich, full bodied flavor with a slightly sweet, non-bitter aftertaste that is excellent straight and the flavor also holds up well in cappuccino and latte drinks. Grind very fine for electric espresso machines, Lavazza in Blu is one of the few ground coffees fine enough to produce good results even in commercial style (straight through) espresso machine portafilters.
- Pre-ground very fine for electric espresso machines (both pressurized and commercial style portafilters)
- Not recommended for stovetop espresso makers or electric moka pots (too fine)
- Imported from Italy

Lavazza in Blu Espresso Ground Coffee, 8.8-Ounce Tins (Pack of 4) Reviews
| 19 of 19 people found the following review helpful  Amazing espresso on a budget, By simon belmont (louisville, kentucky) - See all my reviews This review is from: Lavazza in Blu Espresso Ground Coffee, 8.8-Ounce Tins (Pack of 4) (Grocery) To get great espresso, you need the grind to be perfect. Unless you're willing to shell out $350+ for a professional level grinder (like a Rancilio Rocky), you've got to buy pre-ground espresso (a less-than-professional burr grinder will cause your espresso to taste burnt and watery). Most espresso connoisseurs will agree that Illy (the brand in the silver cans) produces the best pre-ground espresso; the only problem is the price: an 8.8 oz can will run you around $15, which puts the price per pound a little under $30. I had tried the standard Lavazza before, and was unimpressed. However, on a whim, I picked up a can of 'in Blu' a few days ago.....Let me cut to the chase: I would say that Lavazza in Blu is actually BETTER than Illy -- the taste and finish are perfect, and even in an inexpensive machine like a Krups, you can still get an amazing amount of crema. With minimal effort, 'in Blu' will allow you to make, at home, espresso drinks that rival the quality of the...

The decaf version is also very good. If you are new to making espresso, save yourself some stress and start with this. One of the keys to gaining proficiency is reducing the variables. Yes, grinding beans yourself will get you slightly fresher espresso, but when there are problems what do you need to fix? The grind? The roast? Your tamping? The espresso maker? Once you are proficient with this excellent expertly ground espresso, you will be in a much better position to experiment with grinding your own. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful I love it for my my morning latte!, By Truth Seeker & Reader (Westland, MI) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Lavazza in Blu Espresso Ground Coffee, 8.8-Ounce Tins (Pack of 4) (Grocery) I am not that picky, but because I can't afford a good burr grinder, I need preground espresso. And I mostly use espresso for lattes. I know, I know, I'm not a purist. I tried several brands from the store and they were absolutely terrible. Then a friend recommended Illy. I tried both the Illy dark and medium roast, and they were great on their own, but the dark roast overwhelmed my latte and the medium roast wasn't quite strong enough. I needed to find a "middle ground."Enter Lavazza in Blu. It makes the best latte. I DO like the Illy better on its own than the Lavazza in Blu. But for a latte, hands down, the Lavazza in Blu wins. This is going to sound odd, but I think it's because it has more of a "generic" taste than the Illy. With the Illy, I could never get the right amount for a latte. It was either too strong or weak for my latte (even when I weighed it on my food scale). With Lavazza, it feels almost fool-proof. I've made about 20 lattes with the Lavazza. Every... Read more |
