Lavazza Gran Espresso Single-Serve Coffee Pods, Dark Espresso Roast, Pack of 150

Smooth, clean flavor. No bitterness or after taste. This is now my go to Espresso pod. OMO the brew quality from these pods is superior to either K-Cups or Nespresso. Similarly, the Lavazza Gran Creama Whole Bean coffee is my choice for a fresh grind brew. Recommended

Literally the best tasting espresso! It makes it so easy to make an espresso in the morning and the size of the capsule works perfectly with our Breville Bambino! They definitely have a good amount of caffeine but are super smooth. Try them out if you haven’t used them before!

Tastes good, individually foil wrapped without oxygen, always well compressed. My morning espresso has never been easier. Way better than Nespresso. Beating this pod requires about 5 or 10 minutes of great puck prep and a perfectly dialed in shot.

I usually don’t write reviews, but these coffee pods are an absolute disappointment. The coffee comes out watery and flavorless every single time. No matter how I brew it, it lacks aroma, body, and any kind of richness. It feels like I’m drinking warm, brown water rather than coffee.

I like the Lavazza coffees and these e.s.e. pods are super convenient. Amazing crema and bold taste. Great price too

Great pods. Great brand

Very good prepackaged pods. I've heard Lavazza was one of the better brands and I needed to contain my coffee grinds messes. Then I remembered I had the e.s.e. container for my portafilter. Now I'm in business. Quick, easy, delicious, and affordable.

I've personally sipped hundreds of espresso shots brewed from the Lavazza Gran Crema E.S.E. pods using my Delonghi DEDICA (EC680M). Full disclosure though, my wife does not like it, and she prefers other roasters, but for me it's the perfect flavor profile - not bitter at all as an espresso shot (that's very important to me), and I find the aroma wonderful on its own but it becomes absolutely amazing when I rub the rim with some lemon peel before enjoying the aroma. My Delonghi DEDICA does not brew a very thick crema in general, and the crema with these are as rich and thick as I can produce with any other coffee - either E.S.E. or fresh ground. I assume your results will differ if you have a different espresso machine. On this same machine, my wife likes the flavor of the Illy pods but I think this machine has too low a pressure to brew them quickly - takes anywhere from 20 to 30 seconds for the Illy pods (possibly due to a finer grind) but with no better richness of flavor and no thicker crema. The Lavazza pods are a breeze, typically only taking about 8 to 10 seconds, and that's perfect for me. [Update Feb 27, 2019] I used a timer this morning to check my brewing times and the Lavazza pods came in at 16 ot 17 seconds after pre-wet, and 22 to 23 seconds total brewing time. I guess I was so happy with the "short" brewing time that I exaggerated, just a little! ;-)

Great stronger pods but delivery was 2 weeks late

I love these espresso pods. They allow me to use practically fresh ground coffee because they are vacuum, sealed, and most espresso makers do have the attachment to use these pods as opposed to tamping down grounds which make a mess. The taste is fantastic too.

Excellent quality coffee in good quality ese pods. Bought these as a replacement for a poor batch of our regular Cialdissima product and is a marked improvement even on the previous decent versions. Coffee flow through the pod is excellent and a decent tasty cream. For this price, these pods are a steal 👍

Amazing espresso taste. Love them!

Tastes better than Senseo and as easy to use. Good alternative for ground coffee when you are in a hurry
