Blind Assessment: Astoundingly under-roasted and woody. Sweet-toned wood, peanut, perhaps a hint of flowers in the aroma. In the cup nothing but salty, bitterly sour wood and peanut skins (the skins, not the nuts). Somewhere amid all of that a tiny hint of flowers shimmers on. Plumps up just a bit in the finish, though the salty-sour sensations continue to dominate. Notes: Sold roasted and ground in a 10-ounce can; 63 cents per ounce. Lavazza is one of the world's leading suppliers of espresso coffees. Composed of 100% Arabica coffees. This is a drip blend designed for the American market, but, like all of Lavazza's coffees, it is roasted and packed in Italy. Visit www.lavazza.com for more information. Who Should Drink It: For the curious, an object lesson in how bad a coffee can get if it fails to be developed in the roast. Could perhaps be seen as a botched exercise in anti-Starbuckism, a coffee as raw and woody as many Starbucks coffees are close to burned. |

Coffee, more so than wine, is a continually changing product. Recent reviews, whether written by Coffee Review or readers, are most likely to reflect current versions of a given coffee.
