Gusto Crema, Roasted Coffee Beans Bag, 500G With Medium Dark Roast

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.

Its good, but beans are sometimes over roasted. But taste and aroma is good

Overall 4/5: Great quality product Freshness: 5/5 fresh & intense aroma Bitterness: 3.5/5 found more bitter Acidity: 3/5 found it to be more acidic Roast: 5/5 very well evenly roasted This coffee is something you shouldn’t buy. Unless you are serious about it Grind levels and brewing methods Medium grind (around 5–8) Pour-over/drip coffee: A medium grind is comparable in texture to sand. This allows water to flow through at an optimal pace, resulting in a balanced extraction. Aeropress (with a longer brew time): A medium grind can be used with the Aeropress for a full-bodied cup, especially with an inverted brewing method. the quality is international. If you enjoy real coffee, if you can appreciate a coffee from a coffee shop like Barista, Starbucks etc., then this coffee is for you Fine blend of arabica and robusta beans handpicked from the Indian plantations of coorg and chikmagalur with an exotic aroma of chocolate and spices

I have been using this for quite sometime, I like the flavour and the aroma. For better aroma retention, after opening the package I transfer it air tight container and keep in the freezer. Frozen beans and be directly crushed on bean crusher, I have been doing for long.... enjoy your coffee

Tastes good but lil bitter and very strong

Terrible coffee. No any taste Worst coffe I ever tried, don't buy

Fantastic...Coffee for coffee lovers

Value of the money
