Lavazza Caffe Decaffeinato Ground Coffee 250G

My husband and I both fell in love with Lavazza crema de gusto coffee brewed in a little Bialetti Mocha pot about 8 years ago. We would each have a delicious, rich, smooth cup of coffee/espresso each day and while it was just the one, we did have to admit the caffeine was not our friend. We both also usually find decaf coffee to be utterly boring and bland so we were pretty bummed out to lose our coffee ritual. Even the smell of the grounds as we filled the Bialetti made us swoon, so how could decaf live up to that?! Well, we bought one of these to try and lo and behold, it is really damn good. Great scent when you cut open the bag and the final result was surprisingly rich, smooth and satisfying. Now that we know this is so lovely, giving up caffeine has been less daunting and we can even enjoy a cup after dinner. The benefits of ditching the leaded version have been very noticeable very quickly; my husband is no longer snoring so he is sleeping better and woke up before the 6am alarm today for the first time in years, I also sleep better and we both digest our meals better and notice that skipping meals or eating late has no negative impact on blood sugar. His appetite has also returned to normal, which was apparently blunted enough by caffeine that it was tough to get him to eat enough for his athletic 6-foot body. Inflammation is also significantly reduced. We now also sip water with chlorophyll before and after having anything acidic but the aforementioned positive changes happened before that. If you do love the taste of really good, very strong but never bitter or burned coffee (looking at you Saint Arbuck's Church), this is a great choice.

Love the product… nice to get it so fast!!

This decaf makes a perfect Espresso in my vintage 1985 FAEMA Family Espresso machine. It is ground just right to provide a perfect pull every time, with an Espresso rich in crema and flavor perfect for drinking as-is or in a Cappuccino. I also use this to make Americano’s for my wife sometimes, and those have a remarkable amount of crema on them as well. I use a double-shot portafilter, and it makes a bold, full-flavored coffee that is not watered down like a K-cup coffee. I grew up on Lavazza Qualita Rossa and occasionally Qualita Oro - this product is equally as wonderful as both of those, and merely is decaffeinated. This is surely one of my favorite decafs - for Americano, Espresso or Cappuccino.

Very Tasty, arrived on time!!

We love Lavazza and regularly purchase both their regular and decaf beans. We’ve taken to ordering the decaf via Amazon due to its competitive price. This was our first attempt at ordering in bulk, and we were left incredibly disappointed by the fact 13 of the 20 packages were not vacuum sealed. Amazon refunded the purchase immediately and we’ve reordered in attempt to try again. Hopefully we have better luck with this next delivery.
