Flavia Coffee Espresso Roast Review

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

new_flavia_espresso_200Flavia Coffee is one of the few single serve brands left that hasn’t given into expanding their product line. While this may seem like a downside to the company, they definitely earn their credit for creating a great product and sticking to it. One of the staples in the Flavia Coffee lineup is their Flavia Coffee Espresso Roast. With a stronger (rather than mild) flavor profile, this cup of espresso will certainly hold its taste with the addition of milk and sugar. Using a Flavia Fusion Drink Station Deluxe does not provide as much crema as typically desired, but the Flavia Coffee Espresso Roast is a great base for their cappuccino drinks that can be made by first adding a Flavia Cappuccino/Latte Swirl pack.

The aroma is hearty and earthy. The body isn’t as heavy as I would normally expect from an espresso, but the bitterness is low. This cup has a bit more acidity than normal as well, and you can really taste the deeply roasted beans. In addition, the aftertaste isn’t very potent, which is something I very much enjoy in a cup of coffee.

All in all, the espresso for Flavia coffee is a decent cup, but it may be better when used with the Cappuccino/Latte swirl pack to create a cappuccino. Enjoy your drink no matter how you take it and buy your Flavia coffee at discounted prices online Enjoy!

Bristot Espresso Pod Review

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

bristot espresso pods I’ve tried a large variety of espresso pods, but the Bristot Espresso pods are definitely in my top 3. The flavor is always consistently smooth and not bitter like some other espressos. It has a nice round body and full mouthfeel; I rarely add anything, but it stands up very well to milk. The crema is fantastic on this one. It’s always thick–even on a lower end espresso machine. The rich flavor works really well for lattes and cappuccinos. This espresso definitely tastes like you ground the beans and tamped it yourself. Bristot Espresso Pods available in 18 count and 150 count at CoffeeRocket.com.

Lavazza Pienaroma Espresso Review

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

lavazza pienaromaLavazza Pienaroma Espresso is one of the few espressos that sincerely does not need an addition of milk. Make sure though, that your machine is clean before you extract such a lovely bean so the smooth long pull and mild flavor stay untouched as they flow from grounds to your cup. Tastes exactly like an espresso from an espresso bar in Italy, because it is the most popular espresso in Italy, made by Italians, drank by Italians, and sold to you with the convenience of low prices from CoffeeRocket.com. The beans aren’t as dark and oily as espressos made in the US. The body is full and rich with a lasting sweetness as opposed to the often-bitter flavor found in many espressos. In addition, this espresso produces a beautiful crema. Just make sure you get this in the Lavazza Pienaroma Espresso Whole Bean bag because the aroma produced by grinding the fresh beans is part of the experience. You will want more than one shot. Enjoy responsibly!

Tassimo Gevalia Espresso TDISC Review

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Gevalia Espresso TDISCAlone as just a shot of espresso, the Tassimo Gevalia Espresso TDISC is a bit acidic and definitely needs a bit of sugar. However, it certainly delivers on taste and body for milk based drinks such as cappuccinos and lattes. One of the fantastic features on the Tassimo T-65 Hot Beverage Systems is that it reads barcodes on TDISCs and perfectly dispenses the right amount of coffee. So, without having to change any dials or adjust cup size, the Tassimo Gevalia Espresso TDISC comes out as one perfect demitasse espresso shot, just as it should. For a single cup coffee maker, the Tassimo Gevalia Espresso TDISC is a good espresso, but better in the form of the Tassimo Gevalia Latte TDISC or the Tassimo Gevalia Cappuccino TDISC.

Lavazza Super Crema Espresso Review

Monday, February 1st, 2010

lavazza super crema Lavazza Super Crema Espresso is a very flavorful cup of espresso, so if you like a milder brew go with the Lavazza Top Class Espresso. However, if you are into an intense (intensely amazing), but definitely not bitter cup, then you have found you’re new favorite espresso. These beans are called super crema for a reason. The crema is thick and lasting. Lavazza Super Crema Espresso has great aroma; it’s so smooth and tastes just like the espresso you’d find in an authentic Italian bistro. Although the price of Lavazza Super Crema Espresso 2.2 lb bag is a bit more pricey than the generic stuff you’d find in the grocery store it’s worth every penny. Unbelievable espresso. Highly recommended.
