Lavazza: "Prontissimo! Intenso" Instant Coffee, Intense Taste 3.35 Ounces (95gr) Tin [ Italian Import ]

We love coffee. For reference in this house starbucks is a last resort/desperation coffee. I find it bitter ( I know, I know it's for quality control so they purposely over roastit all). I like strong coffee, not a lot of sugar (I like cream or occasionally I'll add amaretto because, well, because it's delicious and I'm Sicilian so it's in my dna or something. :pSo now you know my taste preferencesThis coffee fits the bill. It's strong but without the burnt/ bitterness. You don't need to add a ton to get a great instant cup of coffee. We've reordered because as far as instant- this wins. It's a bit pricey but alas that's what you pay for good coffee. Truthfully, sbux 1 cup is like 7 bucks, this was 11 and we got WAY more coffee and flavor so all in all, a good coffee investment.

I found Lavazza coffee at a VRBO in San Diego, and have been drinking it since. When I found out they had an instant version, I tried it immediately.Is it as good as fresh-brewed Lavazza? Frankly, not exactly. But it has a "different but the same" flavor that isn't off-putting, like so many other instant coffees. If I'm in a hurry, the tradeoff is well worth it, because the instant is really good, just in a different way. It's still delicious.Anyone who dislikes standard instant coffee like I do, will understand this review. Don't hesitate to buy this, especially if you're a regular-brewed-Lavazza fan.

Nearly as good as brewed coffee. Says a lot for instant coffee. Great aroma. Great taste. May be a bit bitter for some. Wish it was just a bit more intense.

I am a serious coffee addict and have a Jura coffee center and use freshly ground coffee beans for lattes every morning. When my machine needed maintenance and was going to be gone for two weeks, I resigned myself to going to the coffee shop every morning but decided to try instant coffee. I haven't used an instant coffee in years. Bought some Nescafe and, to me, it was awful. Got Starbucks Instant and marginally better. Since I have used Lavazza coffee beans for a while and find them to be a good value with great taste, I decided to try this instant espresso. I was pretty amazed. It even makes a crema on top. I add my foamed milk and it's a pretty decent latte. It's nowhere near freshly ground beans but boy is it easy. At least I can save a few bucks and drink this until my machine returns. Not sure everyone will feel this way, but it's the best instant I've ever tried.

Last year I tried Nescafe Taster's Choice Instant Coffee which both my boyfriend and I fell in love with.However, we are always willing to try a more premium instant coffee. As a result, I decided to purchase Nescafe Instant Coffee Gold, which we both find weak, and this Lavazza coffee. This coffee is good but no better than the much cheaper Nescafe Taster's Choice Instant Coffee. Also, both the Nescafe Gold and this Lavazza cost a premium for a tiny amount.I used one teaspoon to one cup of boiling water. No matter how much I stirred the coffee, it would not fully dissolve and some residue was left at the bottom of the cup. Although, I like the medium intensity taste, I do not like coffee particles floating in my cup (see picture) and it is way too expensive for me to ever purchase again.Taste - 5 starsPrice - 3 starsTexture - 2 stars (the sediment in the cup really bothers me)UPDATE Sept 16, 2017 - My boyfriend noticed the ingredients list includes 10% ground coffee and 90% instant; this is the reason for the floating grinds. He does not mind the grinds in his coffee and he says it is a visual thing. He did say he did not like the look of the sediment on the bottom but the good taste causes him to overlook that. To him this coffee is wonderful and intense. He gives it 5 stars.

Yes, it's instant coffee, but it is strong and appears to have real coffee in it too. Not as good as good drip coffee, but much less trouble, portable, and beyond satisfactory,

I love Lavazza! If you’re looking for a bold, rich, and nutty coffee, look no further! I’ve tried illy before and many other brands until I gave Lavazza a try, and it was one of the best decision I’ve ever made. You will not be disappointed! This is pretty concentrated in my opinion so start off with a tsp first.

I like Lavazza coffee which is why I bought this instant version but this was terrible. Too bitter and bad taste. It was so bad I had to throw it out. I hope they make another instant coffee that is better than this. Very disappointing and waste of money.
