Lavazza 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!

Segafredo Massimo Espresso Review
Friday, February 5th, 2010
Segafredo Massimo Espresso is a very complex espresso. With strong earthy tones and a syrupy-like texture that easily stands up to frothed milk, this espresso just screams authentic Italian. The flavor of Segafredo Massimo Espresso is relatively mild and not at all acidic. You will want more than one and won’t cringe at the often-bitter flavor left behind from an espresso shot. However, the flavor gets a bit lost in milky lattes so keep this one around for straight shots or cappuccinos. The deep golden crema on top of the Segafredo Massimo Espresso is so enticing and is achieved by both manual and automatic espresso machines. We highly recommend it. Stop by www.CoffeeRocket.com to shop for Segafredo Espresso today. Enjoy!
Espresso: Did You Know…?
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010
Espresso is one of the most commonly mispronounced words. It should not be “ex-presso.” this word was borrowed from Italian well after the Latin prefix ex- had developed into es-.- Espresso is not a roast style of coffee. It doesn’t matter how dark the bean is, espresso has to do with how it is prepared.
- You can use any type of coffee to produce espresso. Italians prefer medium roasts, while US west coasters like dark roasts, and US east coasters prefer lighter roasts to make espresso.
- A fine espresso is a deep chocolatey red color covered by crema, a dark carmel-colored foam that lies on top.
- Italians test their crema by pouring a spoonful of sugar on top. It should not sink for at least 15 seconds.
Enjoy your espresso responsibly!
Red Espresso—the Future of Tea or at Least the Latte
Friday, December 4th, 2009
Red Espresso is a drink with a very interesting characteristic. It’s not an espresso at all, but a delicious tea that has 5x the health benefits of green tea with the ability to be prepared like espresso. This semi-new drink, first produced in 2006, looks like the segue drink between dedicated coffee drinkers looking to gain the health benefits of tea without having to give up their beloved mixed concoctions.
Red Espresso is made by extracting a specially ground rooibos tea through a normal espresso machine. It produces a very similar crema, body, and intensity that you would find in a regular espresso. “The red espresso won Best New Product in the Specialty Beverage Category at last year’s SCAA exposition as well as the Global Food Award for innovation at the IUFoST (International Union of Food Science and Technology) convention in China last October—for effectively launching the first tea to perform as an espresso.”1
Look out Lattes, there’s a new competitor looking to get topped with froth and it’s not what you’d expect, but something you will certainly love. Fortunately this Red Espresso is sold at CoffeeRocket.com, so get some and try it out yourself.

Arabica vs. Robusta
Friday, October 16th, 2009
Did you know that there are over 25 different types of coffee? But in our reality we only need to be concerned with the 2 that are most popular, Arabica and Robusta. Have you ever wondered what the difference is between these two? Why does it matter if something is 100% Arabica? Does that make it better?
Many coffee drinkers already know the answer to this question, but just in case you were wondering…yes, Arabica gets much more respect than Robusta for the most part. In the land of American coffee snobbery, anything less that 100% Arabica isn’t even a cup of coffee. (The French and Italians often prefer a combination blend.)
Arabica makes up for 75-80% of all coffee produced in the world even though it’s much more difficult to grow than Robusta. Therefore, this results in a higher price for the consumer. It takes about 4-5 years for an Arabica tree to first produce a crop, while Robusta only takes around 2-3 years.
One of the interesting ‘perks’ to Robusta is its surpassing amount of caffeine in comparison to its delicate rival. For this reason, Robusta is often used in espresso, not only because of it’s speedy effects, but also because it produces a sufficiently better amount of crema on top of a brewed espresso. Mostly used for instant coffees and espressos, Robusta has its place in the world, but for a truly great cup of coffee with a full bodied taste, definitely grab the Arabica beans and get to grinding.
